Italian Classic Gift Crate (3.4 pound) From Tuscany to Sicily Italy has a food-oriented culture. From its al dente pastas to its extra virgin olive oils to its fine gourmet cheeses Italy can t be beat for its culinary diversity and excellence. Our Italian Gift Basket brings home a sampling of this great nation s most exquisite foods. Items included are: Provolone Piccante: Sharp! We love this Piccante version which is rarely available in the US and much more interesting than the mild Provolone most Americans have come to know. (7.5 oz) Montasio DOP: Montasio is a pasture-terraced mountain located to the northeast of Venice in the Friuli-Venezia region of Italy. Since the mountain milk from which Montasio is made is high in butterfat the cheese has a richer flavor with hints of butterscotch. (7.5 oz) Grana Padano: A truly wonderful hard grating cheese that can also be enjoyed shredded cubed or shaved. (7.5 oz) Salami Chub: Premium salami from one of the most respected brands in the industry. (8 oz) Taralli: Ideal served with all kinds of Italian cheeses salamis and hams. (8.8 oz) Sliced Prosciutto: One of our favorite cured hams imported directly from Italy. A must have for any traditional antipasto or charcuterie course. (4 oz) Italian Pesto: This famous Italian sauce is served with spaghetti lasagne and gnocchi. Add a teaspoon of pesto Ligure to homemade vegetable soup for a delicious basil flavor. (6.3 oz) Italian Cookies: Traditional Genovese cookies for dipping in coffee or sweet wine. (4.76 oz) Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal value.
