Shag carpets, shades of browns and mustards, flared pants, and the soulful sound of Al Green singing "Let's Stay Together" flash through your head with the first whiff of nutty-sweet Amaretto liquor. Gaining its flavor from almonds, apricot or peach pits, the delightful spirit has been a popular addition to cocktails in the US since it first appeared on the scene in the 1960s. We've put together some of our favorite cocktails to make with Amaretto.

Silky, aromatic, sweet and of course bitter, every Amaro varies greatly depending on the secret inclusions used to flavor them. Artisanally crafted, Amaro starts with a baseline of alcohol enhanced by florals, spices, citrus, barks, or herbs, to deliver a unique and nuanced expression of tastes, and is finished with sugar before aging. With the beautifully herbal and aromatic qualities of our Pine Hone, this Amaro Sour is balanced and fresh.

Due to its hollowed core, bucatini cooks to a perfect al dente and is plumper than the average spaghetti noodle, making it the perfect noddle to cling to sauces and deliver exquisite texture and flavor with every bite. Charring the eggplant like you do to make a classic babaganoush lends a woodsy and umami depth to the meaty nightshade. Charred broccolini offers a bitter vegetal crunch, while the addition of our unique Pinzimonio Herb Blend adds a fresh and fiery kick to this warming vegetarian dish.

When we think of romantic dinners for two, visions of dimmed lights, flickering candles, and soft music spring to mind. Why not extend the romance past the enjoyment of a meal to include the preparation? We've put together a delicious, romantic, and playful way to celebrate Valentine's Day together this year.

Light, fresh, and redolent with brine, feta cheese is a crumbly and exquisite representation of the Mediterranean. Traditionally made from sheep's cheese, the Greek masterpiece adds a distinctly salty punch wherever its welcomed. Roasted at a high temperature, Feta caramelizes. Drizzled with wildflower honey and a sprinkling of fresh herbs and fiery chili flakes and you get the perfect appetizer.

Allow the warm, rich scent of crispy chicken skin to fill your home and permeate your senses with nostalgia. Combining the aromatic flavors of our Herbe di Sicilia blend and bright Lemon Blossom Honey to brighten each bite, serve this melt-off-the-bone chicken with crispy potatoes, fresh salad, or lemon-drenched pasta.

Using Extra Virgin Olive Oil to slowly poach delicate white fish, this recipe is both delicious and heart-healthy. Fork tender with just the right notes of vegetal, peppery Extra Virgil Olive Oil to tickle your senses, fresh Halibut slowly cooks to deliver the most succulent rendition of the delicate white fish you'll ever experience.

Confit cooking is a method of preservation in which items are slowly cooked in fat or oil at a very low temperature, rendering tender, caramelized morsels of richly flavored food. One of the best (and simplest) things to confit is garlic. Bringing out its sweeter, nuttier characteristics, conffiting the illustrious allium in olive oil not only delivers an abundance of caramelly garlic to use however you please, but also infuses the olive oil with garlic's spicier and fresher qualities.
