Tomatoes, Preserves & Delicacies

Campania, Sicily & Umbria

San Marzano tomatoes from the volcanic soils of Campania. Sicilian pistachios and saffron. Umbrian lentils and legumes. Preserved anchovies and bottarga. The rare and the regional — foods that carry the identity of their territory in every jar.

Our standard

DOP and IGP certified where applicable. Small-batch production.

The category we call Specialties is, in truth, the heart of Italian food culture: the preserved, the pickled, the dried, the cured — the foods that define regional identity and that no Italian kitchen is without. San Marzano tomatoes from the volcanic soils below Vesuvius. Sicilian pistachios from Bronte. Saffron from Abruzzo. Bottarga from Sardinia. These are not condiments. They are ingredients with centuries of history and a specificity of flavour that cannot be replicated elsewhere.

What defines this category

San Marzano DOP tomatoes from Campania
Pistachios from Bronte, Sicily (IGP)
Saffron from Abruzzo — the finest in Italy
Bottarga di Muggine from Sardinia
Preserved anchovies from Cetara, Campania

How we select

Every specialty product in the collection carries either a DOP, IGP, or equivalent certification of origin where applicable. We do not offer generic Italian specialties — only those with documented provenance.

Our producers

Our specialty producers are spread across Italy's most distinctive food territories: the volcanic plains of Campania, the pistachio groves of Sicily, the fishing villages of the Amalfi coast, and the salt flats of Sardinia.
