Bring home the flavors of Italy with three months of pantry favorites, from barrel-aged balsamic to rich ragu sauce and expertly crafted pasta. Made with care using traditional recipes and the finest ingredients, they simplify preparing authentic Italian dishes in your own cucina.
Three Months of Italian Pantry includes (see More Info tab for details):
Month 1, 25-Year Barrel-Aged Balsamic Vinegar
- A quarter of a century of traditional aging gives this ultra-versatile condiment an intense, complex flavor. The pure wine must (unfermented grape juice) of white Trebbiano grapes is simmered in copper cauldrons, blended with older balsamic vinegar to help speed acidification, then aged in oak barrels to produce exceptional aroma and color.
Month 2, Williams Sonoma Pasta Sauce, Sicilian Sausage Ragu
- Our sauce is prepared just like it would be in a Sicilian kitchen, starting with plenty of sweet Italian sausage. Crafted for us by an Italian purveyor, the rich, aromatic ragu is slow simmered with San Marzano tomatoes, highlighted by fresh basil and a hint of red pepper.
Month 3, Semolina x Williams Sonoma Pasta, Campanelle
- To bring you this restaurant-quality pasta, we partnered with Semolina Artisanal Pasta in Pasadena, California. Crafted simply with 100% organic semolina and water, the campanelle is slow-dried for a slightly nutty, wheat-like flavor. The ruffled bell shapes have a porous surface that helps capture your favorite pasta sauce.
