Creamy, smooth, and undeniably sweet, this sweet pepper pesto exemplifies the comforting flavors of ripe red bell peppers. Each bite emits the honest flavors of unity between earth and sun. Pair with pizza, scallops, and dry white wine.
Bona Furtuna’s pestos and spreads capture the fresh flavors of Sicily’s abundant produce. Surrounded by numerous volcanoes, both active and dormant, the island’s exceptional fertility is due to its nutrient-rich volcanic soils and temperate climate. Taste the coast of the Mediterranean in each bite. We certainly won’t question you eating these straight from the jar.
Not all pestos are green. Pesto comes from the Italian word Pestare, meaning to grind. In Sicily, the most famous pesto is pesto allá trapanese, from the Mediterranean town of Trapani, Sicily. Adding tomatoes and swapping pine nuts for almonds, Sicilians took the pesto alla genovese and made a dish that's uniquely their own.
Summer’s bounty brings an abundance of fresh and flavorful tomatoes to be savored in a variety of dishes. The pomodoro is a blessing of the season and a staple of Sicilian cuisine, one of the first regions of Italy to incorporate the tomato into its food. This classic Caprese recipe features the perfect balance of rich, salty, sweet, and savory.
Some call it Sicilian bread lasagna. Some call it tomato and cheese pie. Whatever you take to calling it, we're sure you're going to love Scaccia Ragusana. Originating from the southern Sicilian town of Ragusa, this Scaccia features Bona Furtuna organic olive oil, sauce, and herb seasonings for a mouthwatering treat.
