Extra virgin olive oil

Produced from a blend of Frantoio (60-70%) and Moraiolo (15-20%) olives, plus a small percentage of the Leccino, Maurino, and Pendolino varieties, all hand-picked within the first ten days of November and immediately cold pressed in order to conserve to the maximum extent the freshness of this early-picked fruit. The oil is very low in acidity and very flavorful as well. It is stored in cool spaces and filtered with cotton pads before release in order to avoid the deposit of

vegetal water which would alter and compromise the taste.

Selections include: Primolio, Dolciolio, Giolio and Colle del Giachi DOP

L’Antica Rocca USDA Organic Pasta imported from Tuscany, Italy

We are very serious, if not extreme, about herbs and spices. Our goal is to offer the world’s highest quality herbs and spices. Traceability and research are very important to us. We study how each spice seed should be planted, harvested and processed to achieve the highest quality. Which type of grinding, drying, and sorting equipments should be used, which location has the best soil and weather to achieve the best results, and how do we keep the production and shipping records to maintain traceability of each spice. All of these factors are taken into account when we look for the right grower. Only a rare few growers meet our standards. You can see, smell, taste, the difference.
