-The Chiostro di Saronno is an ancient Franciscan cloister located in the center of the town of Saronno, Lombardia. It is the coveted and protected origin of amaretti cookies and the famous amaretto liqueur. Legend has it that Amaretti were first baked by a young couple to honor the cardinal of Milano, made by slowly baking a blend of sugar, apricot kernels and egg whites. These flourless, crunchy little bites melt right in your mouth. Comes in a cute tin!
-Rustichella d' Abruzzo Pandorino mini
-Pandorino from Rustichella d'Abruzzo offers all the features of the beloved Christmas bread in a mini package! Pandoro (pan d'oro) is a light, fluffy yeasted sweet bread and traditional Christmas and New Year’s Eve dessert in Italy. This “golden bread” has been served in Venetian palaces since the 17th Century and is enjoyed at the end of the meal with sparkling wine. Pandoro is beloved for its vanilla-scented, soft crumb and unique star shape. Serve topped with a warm custard or vanilla gelato.
-Marabissi Panforte is one of Italy’s most famous bakeries and home to Siena’s most prized Tuscan exports, panforte. Made since medieval times in the Tuscan region, this artisan Italian pastry will add a festive touch to your holiday dessert spread or cheese plate. All natural gooey goodness with candied oranges, citrus peels, almonds, hazelnuts and a mix of spices and honey that are baked to perfection. Perfect by itself or with aged sheep's milk cheeses.
-La Fiorentina Almond and Pistacchio Torrone is a sweet Italian nougat treat traditionally eaten around Christmastime (though we wouldn’t blame anyone for enjoying it well beyond December!). This assorted box of La Florentine Torrone mixes creamy nougat made of whipped honey, sugar, and egg whites with crunchy almonds. The classic nougat is then flavored with a selection of vanilla bean, orange, and lemon. Use torrone as a holiday stocking stuffer or a sweet reward any day of the year. These Italian candies are delicious when paired with tea, coffee, or even hot cocoa. Or you can break pieces over a bowl of ice cream or gelato for an indulgent treat.
-Artibel Calabrian Figs 200g box For over 30 years, the Arlia family of Artibel has been creating fig delicacies from one of the world’s most renowned varieties which thrives in the Calabrian hills: the Dottato fig of Cosenza DOP. This particular variety is prized for its honey-sweet aroma and juicy pulp with very tiny seeds.
This Calabrian specialty begins with a careful harvest of superior Dottato figs from Artibel’s own farm overlooking the Tyrrhenian sea. The figs are hand-plucked during the last sweltering summer days, once they have started to sun-dry on the branches. After a meticulous hand-selection, they are laid out on large mats to finish drying under the sun until reduced to a third of their size. They are then slowly baked until their natural sugars caramelize and glaze the figs.
