Say Buongiorno to flavor

Tuscan Style

Italy has a way of seducing all five senses, and I fell hard. From the sun-drenched lemon groves of Sorrento to the winding canals of Venice, every stop along my journey deepened my love for Italian and Mediterranean flavors. In Rome, I learned the sacred rule of al dente, the perfect bite of pasta that holds onto sauce like a well-kept secret. PSA: They don't throw their noods against a wall to see if they're ready... In Capri, I discovered that Italian lemons are in a league of their own—bright, floral, and so vibrant they could make any dish sing (and you might be singing "Fly me to the Moon", after enough Limoncello).

But what truly captivated me was the art of seasoning. Across every region, the foundational aromatics—basil, oregano, marjoram, rosemary, and thyme—remained constant, yet their use was as diverse as the landscapes. The pizza in Naples, for example, carried finely ground herbs that blended seamlessly into its legendary sauce, while in Tuscany, coarse herbs floated in pools of fresh-pressed olive oil, infusing every dip of fresh bread with a bold, aromatic explosion.

Italy didn’t just teach me flavors; it taught me balance, patience, and respect for ingredients. And ever since, I’ve been chasing that essence, blending it into every creation—because some love affairs are meant to last forever.

Mediterranean Magic is just that, magically made with Italian seasonings to wow your tastebuds all while introducing a hint of citrus and the main staple: garlic!

Tuscan Table Blend is a little bit more coarse, perfect for dipping oil or even as a garnishment on pizza. What makes it stand out is the sun-dried tomatoes and red chili flakes

Fun fact: Margherita pizza was named after Queen Margherita of Savoy in 1889, when she visited Naples. The pizza's toppings—basil, mozzarella, and tomato sauce—represent the colors of the Italian flag! The green of the basil, white of the mozzarella, and red of the tomato sauce symbolized the unification of Italy, making it not just a delicious dish, but a patriotic one too. Buon appetito!
