ANTIPASTI AND SAUCES

If the first impression is always the best, with the best antipasti and sauces we propose, you’ve hit the mark. It is with this first real dish that we manage to amaze the guest! Enjoy our selection of antipasti for a meal with special guests: it's not at all laborious; you just need some imagination because we provide you with the right ingredients! The Italian tradition offers a great variety of colors, flavors, and enticing textures. Not to mention the sauces that can accompany cold cuts and cheeses: all delicious! So let's go with the typical Italian antipasto! Let yourself be seduced by our catalog of typical products!

To make simple and quick antipasti, there are many ways, playing with flavors and contrasts, perhaps on a cutting board alongside some fine regional cold cuts or hard cheeses like Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano Reggiano. Marinated vegetables are always a great idea to make an antipasto more appetizing. Having jars of quality marinated vegetables in your pantry can save you in those last-minute occasions when a friend knocks at the door. These antipasti are practical and quick to serve!

COOKIES AND ALMONDS

The typical Italian sweetness comes from our cookies and almond treats. If you are a lover of tea breaks, you can't miss this section: we have an online range of sweet Italian products that you can serve as dessert or enjoy for breakfast or snack alongside a delicious tea or coffee. Our cookies and almond treats are all confectionery products from excellence! Try the goodness of these artisanal delights during your break from work, and you'll come back recharged!

TEA, COFFEE AND SUGAR

We offer many solutions for your breakfast or afternoon break based on caffeine or theine. And not only that. We sweeten everything with excellent sugar or refresh ourselves with delicious beverages to bring back good humor on the hottest days. For you, only the best high-quality products, of course, from companies of excellence that aim for both tradition and innovation. Are you more of a tea person or a coffee person?

CHOCOLATE AND CREAMS

This is our most indulgent section! Here is a delicious tour of all our treats based on chocolate and spreads. How can you resist the temptation of Modica chocolate? It’s no coincidence that our producers are the best in Italy; we always seek the best, even for treats like these! Indeed, they are all products of excellence created by professional artisans, small great companies that have made high quality a true corporate philosophy to pursue every day. You just have to lick your lips and take a look at this fantastic world full of sweetness!

PRESERVES AND HONEYS

And here are our jams, preserves, and honeys to allow you to stock up on energy with the nutrients that nature gives us! Jams and preserves made with the best freshly picked fruits, soft to spread and great for making exceptional cakes. Did you know that marmalade and preserve are not the same? Marmalade, in fact, is based on citrus fruits, while preserve is a product derived from all other types of fruit. So now you know if someone uses the term marmalade also to say preserve (incorrectly!). All our jams and preserves are placed in sterilized jars. Usually, products from large distribution chains keep for a long time due to the large amounts of added sugar and preservatives, but our products are totally natural and therefore have a reduced shelf life compared to those products. And this, of course, is a sign of quality. Almost all of ours are extra jams, meaning they contain more than 45% fruit, but not only that: we also have many fruit compotes, which contain a very high percentage of fruit (more than 80%).

Our honeys are also of high quality and some producers use BIO certification, which is an additional confirmation of their product's quality. With us, you can find different types of honey: from bitter or salty to dark or light, solid or liquid, creamy or granular. There are also nectar honeys and honeydew honeys, unifloral and multifloral honeys. The rule that says good honey must be liquid is to be debunked: crystallization is a completely natural process and, on the contrary, it is a sign of honey quality. However, there are three types of honey where this does not happen: acacia, chestnut, and honeydew. Discover our catalog of jams, preserves, and honeys: they are the best products on the web!

DESSERTS AND ARTISANAL SWEETS

Here are our sweet and tasty proposals to conclude your lunch with friends beautifully: desserts and artisanal sweets typical of Italy! From sbrisolona to pandoro, from panettone to colomba: our tour of Italy could only conclude in sweetness, amidst the culinary caresses of our producers. Some of our sweets are "reservable" and arrive directly from the pastry shop, made at the moment of your order, just for you. Take a look at our delicacies and get ready to lick your lips!

FLOURS, SEEDS AND CEREALS

Here you can find the section dedicated to flours, seeds, and cereals. If you usually bake bread at home or other baked goods, we imagine you have experimented with different ingredients, like flours, perhaps whole wheat or kamut. Or are you a fan of low-calorie cooking based on cereals, couscous, millet, or quinoa? You’ll find everything here. And we’ll tell you more: our products are all GMO-free and many are organic, and born in respect and safeguarding of the environment. The producing companies pursue this philosophy: a way of cultivating the land that cares about human health.

CHEESE: OUR SELECTION

And here’s our greatest pride: our selection of cheeses! Delight your palate with the best DOP and typical Italian cheeses: we have hundreds of typical Italian cheeses from dairies known all over the world or rare cheeses from small realities that are truly worth getting to know. It goes without saying: Italian cheeses are the most appreciated! Our catalog is probably the best on the web: we have great cheeses like Fontina Valdostana, Puzzone di Moena, the zizzona di battipaglia, Montasio, Asiago. Plus, get ready, because you will die to taste our award-winning cheeses: like the Blu 61 aged in Passito Raboso or the Basajo aged in white passito with raisins.

Among the best Italian gastronomic products! All you have to do is browse our maxi catalog and delight your appetite!

FRUIT AND CITRUS

Fresh fruit and citrus in season! It has always been our dream to go directly to the grower to choose the products of the land and trees and be able to offer them to you. Our fruit comes from all over Italy and is also organic! The farmers we have chosen are those who have decided to cultivate indigenous and particular fruit species. Or those who have embraced the philosophy of organic: each producer has carefully nurtured each plant, embracing this philosophy not only as a business guideline but as a philosophy of life, despite higher production costs and greater attention to each crop, without using chemical aids such as fertilizers or insecticides.

MUSTARDS

What can you put on a nice platter alongside excellent Italian cheeses? Of course, delicious and tantalizing mustards! Whole or chopped fruit, with less pungent aromas and a more delicate body that’s sweetly candied: these are the mustards that our shop offers online just for you. We have them for all tastes and they can surprise even non-enthusiasts because they bring balance to dishes, perfectly balancing excessive acidity and saltiness. Mustards are great not only for accompanying cheeses but also roasts, boiled meats, and even some cured meats. To enrich our catalog, we also offer a range of organic products created artisanally in food laboratories that offer a rediscovery of the values and flavors of the Italian territory and what it has good and healthy to offer. Discover our wide range of mustards available online!

OILS AND VINEGARS

To perfectly season your tasty dishes, use the right oils and vinegars! In our shop, you will find online the best Italian oils and vinegars, produced with rigorous authenticity and artisan methods. Extra virgin olive oil is probably the symbol of the Mediterranean diet and Italian cuisine in particular, being our primary source of fat used for dressing raw. Be careful to choose the right oil, as it’s easy to pick one in supermarkets that comes from other countries; for example, Spanish oil is the most widespread among foreign oils. With us, however, you are safe, as the oils and vinegars come from the best Italian artisan producers who have their certified facilities. So take a look at our oils and vinegars.

PASTA AND RICE

Another flagship section of Spaghetti e Mandolino is that dedicated to pasta and rice.
