What's Inside
Braised Lamb Chops with Potato & Pepper Gratin

Anthropologist and author Melissa Muller has always been passionate about the history of food and how that is intertwined with the culture and history of a region. Perhaps nowhere is this more relevant than the island of Sicily, where foods have been introduced to the island through the various historical conquests and dominions of it’s fertile lands. Muller, who grew up visiting Sicily each summer and now lives there year-round, has shared this month’s subscription recipe with us from her cookbook, Sicily, which includes the cultural and historical nuances associated with the traditional recipes featured.
The Taste of Elegance
Inhale the aroma of this powerful vinegar and be greeted with a woodsy, acidic-sweetness. Once it touches your tongue, the taste of sour cherries and freshly picked summer raspberries bursts forward immediately before moving through the sweetly-bitter flavors of darkly caramelized sugar, and leaving you with the most subtle aftertaste of freshly ground coffee. Using only the deftest touch do we craft, age and bottle the smooth, elegant taste of this syrupy elixir for you to enjoy.
For the Bold
This bold and beautiful extra virgin olive oil greets you with the fiery essence of young, healthy olives and opens on your palate with flavors of tomato leaf, freshly cut green grass, and rich earthy soil, leaving you with a hint of white pepper in your throat and a refreshing emboldened state of mind. Experience the strength, endurance and vitality of Sicilian terroir within the sun-ripened skins of our olives.
Salt Infused with Oregano and Lemon
The perfect touch when grilling white meats and simply sensational on vegetables, the 100% organic Sicilian Sea Salt and Herb Blend sources air-dried oregano, hand-picked lemon peel and black pepper from the fields of La Furtuna Estate. Find yourself hypnotized by notes of zesty citrus and subtle heat from crisp peppercorn in one of our favorite herbed sea salt blends.
Delicate and Unique Herbaceousness
While oregano leaves are known to host a strong, earthy flavor with an astringent spice, wild oregano flowers are more delicate and unique. At La Furtuna Estate, we choose to harvest the flowers because they encapsulate more essential oils than the rest of the plant, procuring an enticing fresh and floral flavor. Just a pinch of our organic dried oregano seasoning is all you need to take your tastebuds for a peppery, earthy and floral ride.

United StatesWonderful. This is real food as God intended it...pure and made with love and care. The recipe was extraordinary. Please keep doing all you are doing. Thank you.
Grazie mille Bill! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the recent recipe; we've got plenty more delicious plans in the future for our subscriptions so be on the lookout!
United StatesI ordered a monthly subscription for my husband for his birthday. For his first month, he received Rosemary marinara sauce, olive oil, roasted garlic sea salt and roasted fennel. Every product was delicious as was the recipe included. Although time consuming to prepare, it was easy to follow and so, so good. It was a prepared beef skewered with vegetables, rosemary and bay leaf. We had lots of leftovers. I put the leftover beef on a ciabatta roll toasted and broiled with butter, marinara and some of the pecorino romano and bread crumb beef dredge mixture then topped all that with the rosemary marinara. Yum. Thank you for making excellent products and shipping them so promptly. We look forward to next month and hope to visit your beautiful farm some day. You are preserving the beauty and goodness of this world loaned to us on faith.

United StatesI’ve been looking at joining the Bona Furtuna monthly subscription for quite some time. I finally broke down and ordered the one month gift box and boy was it fabulous. The menu was fantastic that I made it again the next day and also signed up to receive the monthly subscription. The salts that come with the shipments are also amazing. Turns your food from boring to wow! So happy I finally pulled the trigger.
