Containing:
- Parmigiano Reggiano Vacche Rosse: Produced in small quantities by Fanticini in Villa Sabione near Reggio Emilia using milk exclusively from the “Red Cow”. Its unique nutty, fruity, grassy flavor is richer than most Reggianos and its texture is somehow creamier, even though it is aged for a much longer time. (8 oz.)
- Boschetto al Tartufo Bianchetto: A fresh blend of sheep and cow's milk studded with rare white truffle shavings. This is a true Tuscan delicacy. (8 oz.)
- Basilio: Basil and extra virgin olive oil are rubbed on the rind of this Tuscan cheese, melding with soft pecorino to create harmonious pesto-like flavors. (8 oz.)
- Briscole al Barbera: An exquisite, handmade specialty cheese from La Casearia in Verona. Bathed in Barbera wine. (8 oz)
- Prosciutto: Perfectly pre-sliced succulent, fruity Italian ham. (3 oz.)
- Mostarda with Whole Fruits: Lazzaris Fruit Mostarda is produced using a variety of whole fruits. Dipped in sugar and glucose syrup and pure mustard oil, its characteristic taste allows it to be enjoyed on its own; as an excellent dessert; as well as being a first-class accompaniment to a number of dishes. (260 g)
- Pesto by Olio Carli: In Liguria, Italy, basil grows on just about every hillside that meets the Mediterranean. Carli's pesto contains no preservatives or colorants, yet it maintains a fabulous dark green color. (4.6 oz)
- De Nigris Balsamic Vinegar of Modena - 8 Stars: Balsamic from Modena that is perfect for salads, BBQs and marinating. (500 ml.)
