- Sliced Prosciutto: Each vacuum-sealed packet contains enough pre-sliced authentic Italian prosciutto to make two hearty sandwiches. This succulent, fruity cured ham is also a vital part of the antipasto course - try it layered over melon or wrapped around a Grissini (Italian breadstick). 3 oz.
- Truffle Grissini: Speaking of Grissini, we have included a box of the truffled variety. Handmade in the Piedmont region, these delightful treasures are light and airy. 4.2 oz.
- Grana Padano Stravecchio: This full-bodied cheese is born from the ancient traditions of northern Italian food culture. One of the world's dairy masterpieces, it can be used as a table cheese or as an ingredient in numerous recipes. 8 oz.
- Mountain Gorgonzola: Lomardy's famous blue cheese, the Mountain variety is semi-firm yet spreadable. This world renowned product is excellent in salads or served as a table cheese. Try it drizzled with honey for dessert! 8 oz.
- Boschetto al Tartufo Bianchetto: One of only four cheeses in our top-selling Platinum Collection, Boschetto is made from a blend of sheep and cow's milk. This satiny smooth cheese is studded with rare white truffle shavings, making it quite luxurious. 7 oz.
- Don Pugliese Chocolate Bar: This dark chocolate from Modica is a unique Italian specialty.
- Panettone: This slightly sweet, slightly spicy fruit bread from Milan is known as a holiday treat, but is excellent year round. 3.5 oz.
- Spongata: A traditional fruit and spice filled pastry comes from Parma. (1.5 oz.)

THEY SHOULD MAKE THE AMOUNTS LARGER, AND ALLOW CHOICES TO BE ADDED IN THE COMBO. I WAS DISSATISFIED WITH THE WHOLE THING. [...] THE PRESENTATION OF IT WAS NOT THERE EITHER.

Enjoyed all of it. Gorgonzola has very rich flavor. Did not "Love" the Grissini though. Everyone must try the Boschetto al Tartufo Bianchetto: delcate flavor with awesome hint of truffle. Cant go wrong.

Very good variety of items. Hard to choose best item of package. Thank you
Great sampler of [...] Italian offerings. Don't understand Teddys comments as all of these are available indivually, and it states quite clearly in the description what you'll be receiving. I've been an [...] regular for years now, and have sent countless of such collections as gifts, which have always been well received. Keep up the good work!
The combination turned out to be different than I imagined it to be. On top of that, few, if any, of the items are available separately. A combination can be a good promotional tool for the items when arranged in a supportive way.
Yes, it's that good. Open a bottle of wine (italian, of course), sit back and feel transported to Italy. An amazing collection of flavors. Have as appetizers or, add some olives, bread and your favorite olive oil and make it a full dinner.

This is the best way to sample different cheeses to see what you love and what you don't really care for without spending a lot of money or getting stuck with a chunk of cheese you really don't like. The cheeses were really wonderful and we've discovered new "favorites" that we'll be more likely to order as a stand-alone in the future. My family loved this so much, we bought 1 for my sister and her husband as an anniversary gift. They loved it so much they ordered more for gifts for their employees.
excellent

My wife went to Italy a few years back and loved the places she visited and the foods she ate. "A Little Bit of Italy" was a great suprise to her as my gift presentation for Valentine's Day. The spongata didn't pass the test but everything else was wonderful. A trip to Italy at home is a lot cheaper than the airfare!
