Some people love to end their meal with something sweet. Others like to enjoy a spoonful of their favourite dessert in the evening, on the sofa, while watching a film or TV series. Some treat themselves to a few nibbles while curled up with a book. Others still take a minute to relax on their balcony in summer with their favourite biscuits, or eagerly await Christmas time when they can enjoy a slice of panettone. Small, light-hearted temptations: our selection will treat you to a moment of sweet, carefree indulgence any time you want.
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.
The word 'Emilia' immediately conjures up images of dining tables, but there's so much more to this region. It is also about history and nature, a unique land where plains and hills meet, where mountains stand vigil over fields, where traditions are passed down orally by fathers and mothers. Emilia Food Love takes you on a journey of discovery through legends and castles, lands caressed by torrents and streams, bringing you the local traditions and ancient wisdom of a land you are bound to fall in love with, no matter where you are from.
My mamma simply cannot set the table without finding a spot for the bottle of olive oil. She tried many different kinds over the years before she found the perfect one. Grandmother used to tell us to mix a few drops of olive oil with honey if we had a sore throat. We could safely say that our entire lives and our memories are drizzled with olive oil, the very same olive oil that is in the majority of our favourite dishes. It could take hours to list all of its properties. Olive oil prevents and cures. Just a few of its characteristics include protection for the stomach and the intestines as well as the nervous system. It can prevent heart attacks, and it is an elixir for your skin and hair. This Mediterranean diet staple has historically been used by many cultures as more than just an ingredient. For Catholics, olive oil is a symbol of peace, the ancient Romans used it as a bargaining chip, and for athletes competing at the Parthenon it was a prize that was just as valuable as gold. Epic poems and philosophers' writings talk about olive oil. Homer calls it "liquid gold". Over the centuries, olive oil has become an essential element in our culture and on our table.
