While artisan producers in Italy are adamant about upholding the highest of culinary standards, these particular products have been certified organic (biologico), ensureing the most savory and sweetest of flavors. This gift comes packed in an A.G. Ferrari signature market bag.

Contents include the following authentic Italian products:

• A.G. Ferrari Fagioli Cannellini
  Our organic dried cannellini beans, often used in classic Tuscan cooking, have the faint flavor of roasted chestnuts.

• One bottle of organic Olio di Sassi extra virgin olive oil
  Although the Basilicata region has an abundance of olive trees, many of the olives are picked by machine and pressed using modern techniques. Not so at Cifarelli Angela, a woman-owned olive press in the hills outside of Matera. Angela harvests her olives by hand beginning in October and oversees every aspect of the production process. Her production quantities are very small and her attention to quality has won her a number of prestigious olive oil awards.

• Giacomo Santoleri Organic Sfarrata soup base
  Giacomo Santoleri's top-quality blend of farro, garbanzo bean, lentil and barley pieces will make a delightful base for your next pot of soup. Our chef's own recipe is included on the bag.

• Miele di Sulla
  Organic honeysuckle flower honey from Sicilian artisan Giuseppe Coniglio. The Sicilians drizzle it over sheep's milk or goat's milk cheese.

• One box of A.G. Ferrari organic Torchietti pasta
  Our torchietti begin with custom-blended durum wheat semolina. The pasta is shaped using bronze dies and slow-dried at low temperatures, to achieve a rough, sauce-clinging texture and palate-pleasing flavor. Pairs excellently with tomato sauces.

• One box of A.G. Ferrari organic Penne Rigate pasta
  The quill shaped pasta is made using bronze dies and slow-dried at low temperatures, to achieve a rough, sauce-clinging texture and palate-pleasing flavor.

  Meaning "very fresh," this sauce captures the essence of vine-ripened tomatoes; chopped fresh and quickly cooked. All ingredients are picked by hand at a small family farm on the Tuscan coast. There are no artificial flavors, preservatives or added sugars. Toss as is with your favorite pasta or use as the base for your own vegetable, meat or fish sauces.
