Rich Provolizie 'in carrozza'

Here comes the Italian version of the French 'Croque Madame'! Sure, it's not exactly the same thing, there's no ham in this recipe (but you can still add it, if you like), and the egg is sort of.. all the way through it, instead of just on the top. But taste delight is guaranteed! Try out our recipe and have fun creating your own variations!

Romagna Royal

This is the perfect party cocktail: colourful, delicate and.. plentiful! The drink just looks gorgeous with all those fruit pieces, whose sweetness partly masks the taste of the alcohol in it. The Vecchia Romagna flavour is slightly softened by the lighter Prosecco, providing for a delicate, pleasant flavour in your mouth.

Salted codfish balls

'Baccalà' is the Italian name for dried and salted codfish, an essential ingredient in many culinary traditions. Worldwide, Portugal ranks number one in its consumption, but Italy follows closely after with its many traditional recipes: 'baccalà alla lucana', 'alla cosentina', 'alla siciliana', etc.. Because of the preservation process, this fish needs many hours of soaking to get rid of the salt and to rehydrate the flesh. Here we suggest a simple, delicious recipe, something children will love and an ideal buffet component too!

Salted witches fingers

So, with the candles aglow, lights out, the spooky effect is a cert!!

Salty spiral biscuits with parmesan cheese

These salty Parmesan biscuits are the ideal snack for an aperitif with your friends or for a nice mid-afternoon break.

In this recipe we suggest you use Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, almonds and raisins, for a treat that is both sweet and savory.

Short crust pastry half-moons with dried fruit

Short crust pastry half-moons are typical desserts of Italian culinary tradition. Depending on where they are made, the recipe can vary a bit, the filling may be different, as may be cooking method also. Traditionally baked around Christmas time in southern regions like Puglia, Calabria, Campania, etc.. they are mostly enjoyed deep-fried (and called Ravioli) at Carnival time in Lombardy, Veneto and other northern areas.

Sun dried tomatoes with pecorino & broad beans

This recipe couldn't be more representative of culinary Italian culture: broad beans (long described as 'the poor man's meat' because of their high protein and iron content) are widely used, especially in the south of Italy; sun dried tomatoes, originating from the smart thinking of the farmers, who had to find a way to preserve the produce for colder seasons; and Pecorino Romano, a product made from sheep's milk, mostly produced in Sardinia.

Ricotta is a typical and very versatile Italian cottage cheese: it can be eaten along with savoury dishes, be an ingredient of a savoury dish itself (e.g. pasta with ricotta, quiche..) or it can be a great dessert component! The dessert we suggest in this recipe is a real delicacy - sweet and 100% natural and wholesome at the same time! Feel free to enjoy it.. without the guilt!

Toasted Panzanella with Auricchio on creamy gazpacho

The Panzanella is a typical dish from central Italy, very famous in Tuscany, Marche and Lazio. The original recipe calls for stale bread, red onion, basil, olive oil, vinegar and salt, but over time some more ingredients, such as fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, have made it onto the list. We suggest to couple it with some fresh homemade gazpacho for an extra taste!

Tricolore Salad

Tricolore Salad is a variation on probably the most well-known and popular Italian salad, Caprese, made with tomatoes, mozzarella and basil. This dish comes from the Campania region in the south-west of Italy but it's enjoyed everywhere. Its name, 'tricolore' (three-coloured), refers to its colours, which are the same as the Italian flag - red, white and green. This recipe features one of the most delicious mozzarella, the buffalo one.
