Parmigiano Reggiano, There's not much more to say about the best loved and most imitated cheese in the world. But Parmigiano would not be what it is if it wasn't for its land of origin. A land courted by its inhabitants from time immemorial, who have bred only the finest cattle, fed with the best fodder to produce the king of cheeses, according to rules which have remained unchanged over the centuries. All this dedication, purity and passion for Emilia can be felt right from the first mouthful, and delight the palate.

Small, light-hearted temptations: our selection will treat you to a moment of sweet, carefree indulgence any time you want.

Homemade pasta is not just about cooking. It’s an ancient gesture passed down from one generation to another like a ritual. It’s both a tradition and a gesture of love. You can’t improvise. You learn by observing the hands of those who every Sunday and festive days flour, roll out and form tortellini, wrapping them around their little finger to make them perfect. It’s a matter of patience, time and rest. An unrepeatable form of art that depends on the size of the eggs, room temperature and even on the maker’s mood, as some say. Sensitivity and feelings play an important role when it comes to choosing the ingredients and learning how dough behaves. There will never be one dish identical to another. A little magic that repeats itself every time.

Our fresh pasta best tells the story of our land. Handmade to bring Emilia’s tradition and excellence to your table.

As red as fire, as red as the heart. Red is the colour of passion, and for those who love cooking, it’s the colour of homemade tomato sauce. When time is tight, life gets hectic, or you’re far away from home and menus are written in an unknown language, that’s when you crave for the simplest, yummiest, and most indispensable of condiments. The world has no language barriers when on the table there’s a plate of pasta with tomato sauce, a pizza, or ketchup, or French fries to dip into ketchup. Ask any Italian, and they’ll have at least one special memory accompanied by the sweet smell of red tomato passata.

We make our sauces and passata using ripe tomatoes picked from the best plants in mid-August. Tomatoes are hand-picked one by one and processed locally, adding only a few 100% natural ingredients to deliver that same authentic smell.

How many times have you walked down the street and smelled something that took you down memory lane? How many times has a smell reminded you of memories that you thought were lost forever? Smell is a powerful yet mysterious sense that can awaken emotions and memories from the past. It can soothe your fears, make you feel safe and improve your mood. It seems that the smell of freshly-baked bread can make you even more generous! “As good as bread”, as Italians would describe a good-hearted, magnanimous person. Our baked products are made with simple and natural ingredients: wholesome like the memories we want you to have thanks to our products. Holidays, breaks, alone or with the people you love, every moment can be unforgettable if associated with an unforgettable smell.

Emilia is a land of gently rolling hills, fields stretching out as far as the eye can see, work and passion. Charcuterie from this land has a story to tell which goes back centuries, a mixture of simple ingredients: a love for work, tradition and quality. It goes without saying. One taste is enough. Parma ham, culatello, coppa or salame - there's nowhere else in the world where cured meats taste this good.

In the story of mankind, since the earliest days of abandoning the nomadic life, there has always been countless historical evidence on the use of flour: from Egypt  to the Romans, from the Assyrians to the Babylonians, to us: we really couldn't imagine doing without it. The flours we have selected for you exclusively derive from grains cultivated in the territory of Matilda of Tuscany, we propose stone milling, which allows past traditions to converge with today’s technology, giving us flavours and aromas truly worthy of the term "excellence", maintaining all the nutritional properties that make flour one of the fundamental pillars of our nutrition. Since flour can certainly not be mentioned as our favourite dish is, it is undoubtedly true that flour is likely to be the protagonist of that dish. It features its soul, characterised by an impalpable consistency.

When we were kids, fruit was the best kind of snack. It was a moment of pure joy that made our afternoons brighter. A good habit we tend to forget in these hectic times. That’s why our Dolce Dispensa offers a wide range of nectars and canned fruit with no pectin, additives, colourings, or preservatives, so you can relive those moments of joy and pass them down to the younger generations.

A lot of fruit, a bit of sugar and zero preservatives: this is the magic formula for jams that are dense, creamy, healthy and natural. The jams are prepared with sous-vide cooking, a gesture of love that does not alter the properties of the ingredients, bringing you the true flavours of your favourite fruit with all its vitamins and minerals in every spoonful.

There is a special word in Emilia. Somewhat harsh sounding, it encompasses all the sweetness of the world: rezdora. Women traditionally rule the home: without them, abodes would not be filled with the aroma of freshly baked bread, sauces made with recipes passed down from mother to daughter for generations. The rezdora cooks and stocks the larder up with compote and sauces to be savoured all year round, preferably on Sundays, in the company of numerous friends and relatives around a large table.
