Grown and bottled on La Furtuna Estate in the Sicani Mountain region, our Heritage Blend Sicilian extra virgin olive oil is one to remember. Persistent and harmonious, it hosts a soft flavor of fruity, golden notes with a nose of artichoke, green tomato and almond.
On the palate, this cold-extracted, high-quality olive oil is incredibly smooth and balanced with a medium spice. Take a teaspoon right out of the bottle, drizzle on a leafy salad, or pair with a Bona Furtuna Salt and Herb blend for an electrifying meat rub.
Deliciously robust with a hint of smoke, this black olive tapenade is bitter and bold, yet fruity and round all at once. Toss onto roasted cauliflower, spread onto toasted pita, or alongside a marbled, grilled steak.
With a touch of sweetness, herbal hints, sunkissed grain, and ascents of cinnamon, Bona Furtuna Ditalini provides a great al dente texture and elastic structure. Representative to what humans have been eating for thousands of years and easy for digestion, feel the nutritional benefits of ancient grain pasta in every bite. A perfect complement to many soups, Ditalini pairs wonderfully with textured sauces. Try the famous “Ditalini e Fagioli” for spoonfuls of authenticity.
Valued for its high moisture content and minerality, Bona Furtuna 100% Sicilian Sea Salt is as pristine as can be. With no added ingredients, taste hints of oceanic salinity in this coarse sea salt. Complementary with nearly everything from sweet to savory, this pure sea salt is perfect for both the home and professional kitchens.
Gently stone milled, our Ancient Grain Pizza Flour produces the perfect balance of bready yet crispy pizza dough. Use our flour to make traditional Sicilian sfincione with anchovies and marinara, or for a simply delicious and classic neapolitan pizza.
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.
This dish has been enjoyed on Sundays and at festivals for centuries in northern Italy. Derived from Bologna, Italy, Ragù alla Bolognese is a hearty meat-based sauce that is traditionally served with the broad, flat noodles of ancient grain Tagliatelle pasta.
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.
United StatesMy husband and I really enjoyed this monthly gift. From the different olive infused oils and salts to the packed capers and porcini mushrooms! It was fun to see what would be next .
