Vigna Bianca PGI
Oro Nero is a versatile and well rounded balsamic vinegar. Its perfect harmony of acidity and sweetness, while offering more bite than the Vigna Oro, is sure to please every palate.
Vigna Bordo’s bright acidity and great value makes it a perfect option for everyday use. Wonderful in salad dressings, marinades for grilled vegetables and great for pan reductions.
This product has a particular harmony attributed to its high percentage of cooked grape must. The reduced grape must, gives it a thick body and a lower acidity than a regular balsamic vinegar. It is a pure product with no additives. It maintains the density of a traditional balsamic vinegar and can be used as an all natural, rich tasting glaze.
The Vigna Bianca is a good balsamic with medium dense consistency and a beautiful harmony between sweetness and acidity. It is versatile enough for all uses and kitchens.

FRESH ITALIAN TRUFFLE
Black Summer/Fall Truffle
Tuber Aestivum Tuber Aestivum Uncinatum (Burgundy)
What Exactly Are Truffles? Truffles are the fruit of a subterranean mushroom. They grow only in symbiosis with the roots of certain trees. The tree pro vides sugars to the truffle mushroom, which it cannot produce by itself as it does not carry chlorophyll. In return, the truffle transfers dissociated mineral salts to the tree since the tree is unable to assimilate them by itself. Truffle availability depends heavily on season and conditions. See the descriptions to the right for information on various truffles and their availability.
Tuber Aestivum Availability: June—Sept.
The most plentifully harvested truffle. The fruity body ranges from the size of a hazelnut to that of an orange. The skin is black and has a pleasant and delicate odor that resembles to the one of hazelnuts.
Tuber Aestivum Uncinatum. (Burgundy) Availability: Sept.—Dec.
Similar to Tuber Aestivum with a more pleasing and intense odor. The name of this truffle is derived from its hook shaped spores. The fruity body is large and ranges in size. The skin is black and its odor resembles that of a hazelnut .
8
The Black Summer Truffle has a pleasant and subtle aroma, and it is very versatile in the kitchen. It should be shaved thinly over fresh pastas and bruschetta, used to garnish meats and fish, and stirred into cream sauces.
SELEZIONE TARTUFI & D DALLA TERRA White Winter Truffle
Black Winter Truffle
Spring White Truffle
Availability: Oct. – Dec.
Availability: Nov. – March
Availability: Jan.-April
The most prized among the edible truffles. The fruity body is usually a lobed, spherical or oval shape. These truffles vary in size. The skin is smooth and has an ochre or olive-yellow color, that sometimes could exhibit a rusty brown, cracked area or bright red spots.
The fruity body can vary in size from that of a hazelnut to an orange. The skin is black, sometimes with dark red or rust colored patches.
The various Italian names attributed to this truffle are due to its color, the period in which it ripens and the habitat in which it is found. The skin is smooth, variable in color, ranging from ochre-yellow to rust-brown or orange brown, and is often spotted.
The flavor of White Truffles is intense, yet elegant with lingering garlic undertones. It is best savored raw and served simply; shave over fresh pastas, panseared fish, all kinds of risotto, omelets and even chocolaty desserts.
Tuber Melanosporum Vitt. (Perigord/ Dolce di Norcia)
Different from the White truffle, the nutty, earthy flavor of the Black Winter Truffle is most appreciated when the truffle is slightly heated. Very versatile, black winter truffles are delicious shaved into sauces for pasta or pizza, into omelets and egg dishes, and stirred into risottos. Perfect for any potato dish.
9
Tuber Borchi Vitt. (Bianchetto)
In Romagna and Marche, where an ancient tradition is still alive, the Bianchetto truffle is used raw and appears on the menus of the best restaurants. However, its optimal use is in spreads, butter or in the mixture of tortellini or ravioli filled pasta.
TRUFFLES
Tuber Magnatum Pico Vitt. (White Alba)
TRUFFLES PRODUCTS Did you know that there is actually no truffle in truffle oil? Those bits of the rare mushroom you see inside a bottle of truffle oil do not add anything other than visual pleasure and the excuse to list truffle as an ingredient. Truffles are not like olives. They cannot be squeezed for oil or flavor. The flavor molecules in a truffle are too volatile to be harvested as an aromatic substance. Instead we need to infuse flavors into the oil to make a truffle oil. As for everything else, there are good and bad options for flavors and the difference is shown in the end result. Will you have a smooth, round truffle flavor or a strong, aggressive, petroleum- like aroma that lingers in your throat long after the meal is over? The choice is up to each manufacturer and their quality choices. Our choice is always the highest possible level.
From the Appennini mountains, we offer our “Selezione Tartufi” line of truffle & porcini oils, as well as our “D Dalla Terra” and “Trentasette” lines, perfect for both retail and foodservice, and accessible to all truffle lovers. All of our truffle and porcini oils can be used as finishing oils, as well as in the final moments of cooking.

D.O.P. EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL The bountiful Planeta olive grove covers an estate of 98 hectares in the Caparrina district in Menfi, Sicily. Planeta’s decision to dedicate this land to olives was an homage to tradition and vocation of the territory, to carefully preserve the fertile landscape while creating employment opportunities. The olive harvest takes place in early October: the olives are picked manually and processed within a few hours at the press right in the center of the grove to ensure the best results in terms of taste and acidity. Planeta’s continuous research into quality is consistently recognized with important prizes won in important international contests, emerging in a short time as one of the benchmarks of quality for extra virgin olive oil.

RICE AND FARRO GRAINS Riso Vignola is a manufacturer of fine Italian rices, recognized on a global scale and appreciated in all markets. Established in 1880 this small family business processed cereal crops in Balzola, a lovely village situated in the Po Valley, bordering the provinces of Alessandria and Vercelli. Over the years, five generations of the Vignola family gradually transformed their old mill into a modern facility, refining the finest varieties of rice. Now, after more than a century, Giovanni Vignola, the current heir to the Vignola name, continues the family's quest for perfection, managing the delicate balance of traditional rice refining and modern techniques. He ensures that all varieties of Vignola Rice are selected with care and kept perfectly fresh, retaining their natural fragrance and unmistakable quality as a first-class, 100% genuine Italian product.
About Rice:
Arborio, Carnaroli and Vialone Nano are short-grain
rices with a high starch content, native to the Pied-
mont and Lombardy regions in Northern Italy. Carnaroli grows nearly twice as tall as either Arborio or
Vialone Nano, making it extremely difficult to harvest (it must be collected as soon as it matures, before the heavy grain falls over from its own weight!) and is therefore very expensive. Vialone
Nano is every Venetian chef's choice for risotto, probably since it is widely grown in that area and also produces the desirable all'onda (wavy) texture.
Arborio Rice
Carnaroli Rice
Arborio is an Italian short-grain rice named after the city of Arborio, where it is still grown. These rounded grains present a pronounced indentation and when cooked offer a firm, creamy, and chewy texture, due to their high starch content. A classic element in Italian cuisine, it is superb as risotto and useful for all your Arborio Rice cooking needs.
Carnaroli, the “King of Italian rices” is a short-grain rice, grown in the Pavia, Novara and Vercelli areas of Italy. It has a small pearl in the middle and has a higher starch content than Arborio, resulting in a lush, velvety risotto. It has a high-absorption capacity, calling for a longer cooking process, naturally making it quite creamy and flavorful.

TRENTASETTE COLLECTION AND ANTICA RISERIA VIGNOLA Vialone Nano Rice
Black Venere Rice
Variety developed from a hybridization between Vialone and Nano rice, so named for the reduced height of the plant (nano means dwarf in Italian). It presents a darker round and medium grain that is pearly in the middle with a pronounced indentation. It is grown around the romantic Verona area. With its high absorption capacity, it releases the most starch for creaminess, making it a perfect base for a sophisticated risotto or any rice dish you wish to prepare.
The prized Black Venere Rice is known for its beautiful, deep purple-black color and delicate nutty flavor. It is rich in essential amino acids, fiber, Phosphorus and Vitamin B5. It is also full of minerals like calcium, iron, zinc and selenium. Named after the Goddess of Love, it was considered to be a potent aphrodisiac. It is a wonderful base in rice salads, soups and as an accompaniment to meats and seafood.

Packed with vitamins, Farro has fewer calories per serving than brown rice or quinoa, is higher in fiber than both, and has about as much protein as quinoa. Delicious either hot or cold. Also Kosher.

PASTA
This cut has real spinach in the dough for a beautiful color and wonderful taste. Delicious with vegetable sauces or just olive oil and Parmigiano Reggiano. As the spinach is natural, color can fade slightly if exposed to light for a long time.
SPECIALTY WHEAT GERM PASTA Wheat germ is the heart of the wheat grain, rich in flavor and nourishing active ingredients. The germ is normally removed when the grain is milled in order to improve the flour concentration. Pastificio Morelli uses artisan techniques to incorporate the wheat germ into the flour during the pasta production. The wheat gets processed immediately, while it’s still fresh, and it never has the opportunity to deteriorate. This brings out the best in flavor and healthy characteristics, and gives it a unique consistency and taste.

In 1979, when Vincenzo was asked by a childhood friend if he wanted to start selling olives with him. Vincenzo was an expert agronomist, which benefited his new traditional antipasto plant, converted from his previous factory. Soon, the new burgeoning Castellino offered high quality olive and vegetable products while adhering to traditional Italian cuisine. After Vincenzo’s retirement, his son Francesco took the reins, and developed their production to include new unique antipasti, improved the packaging and adopted modern technologies. Today the Castellino brand includes more than 100 Italian recipes, created by their chef, who constantly develops new ideas together with their partners all over the world.

PANFORTE Panforte is a dense, sweet cake from Siena, with origins dating back to the Age of Crusades. Knights and men-at-arms, on their arduous journey to the East, relied on these nutritious cakes full of nuts and honey for their survival. These cakes were so delicious that they have since then been produced as a mouth-watering treat, perfect as a finishing dessert or as a special, elegant gift. Panforte is made from all-natural, healthy ingredients such as dried fruit, honey and nuts. Many variations of the original recipe have been established, although debates continue as to which type is the tastiest! They are easily paired with a dessert wine or with a sharp cheese. However, a new trend is incorporating this sweet into a multitude of dishes, salads, cheese trays, filets, and even bacon-wrapped chicken. We also recommend eating them on their own!

IL MONDO DI LAURA VANILLA:
Hundreds of years ago, in the tropical forests of the Aztec kingdom, the fruit of a delicate orchid was discovered with a flavor they called vanilla. This revered and expensive spice, with its rare, amazing flavor and perfume, contains an aromatic molecule called vanillin which gives the sought after aroma and flavor of vanilla.
An experienced globetrotter and pastry connoisseur, Laura Raccah created a selection of handmade cookies with first class ingredients from all over the world. Creative flavors is what defines these natural kosher treats. Il Mondo di Laura (Laura’s world) is the perfect synthesis of our motto: artisan tradition and epicurean innovation!
pink himalayan salt: CINNAMON: It is a hand-harvested salt, found naturally deep within the pristine Himalayan Mountains. Crystallized over 250 million years ago, ancient sea beds were covered by lava, protecting the salt from modern-day pollution, which makes us believe that Himalayan Pink salt is the purest salt to be found on earth nowadays.
42
This spice is one of the oldest ones known. It was mentioned in historical scripts and used already in ancient Egypt not only as a beverage flavoring and a medicine, but also as an embalming agent. Cinnamon was so highly treasured that it was considered more precious than gold.
