Extra virgin olive oil , exceptional pasta sea salt and rice are not only important items in an Italian pantry, but are staples in most people's kitchens.

Antichi Uliveti del Prato is an extra virgin olive oil made in the unspoilt hills of Sardinia. Our producer, Antonella, uses locally grown Bosana olives that she presses in the mill on her family farm. The finished oil is green, fruity and with just a pinch of spice. This is a versatile oil that goes well with grilled meats, salads and grains.

Pasta by Latini made with prized wheat varieties in the Marche region and dried naturally, has an intense grain flavor.

Vialone Nano Rice by Crespi, is artisanally made in one of the oldest mills in Piemonte and produces a super creamy "risotto".

Vincenzo Gucciardo's "Fiore di sale" (flower of salt) is the epitome of salt. It is gathered from the unblemished coastal waters near Trapani, Sicily and then packed in the salt mill built in 1884. They still use traditional methods without chemical treatment and therefore the salt retains all its trace elements and character. Use sparingly and it will make everything you prepare taste better.

Each item is carefully packaged inside our Outer Borough Chic wood crate, recycled straight from the Bronx lively produce markets.
