Premium ingredients make a difference. Treat someone special to this luxurious gift of pantry items that are absolute necessities for anyone who likes to cook.
It goes without saying that extra virgin olive oil is a must have pantry staple, and Badia a Coltibuono is one of the finest Italian oils made, produced in the Chianti region of Italy since 1058. Ideal for finishing cooked dishes, it is also superb whisked in to vinaigrettes or marinades featuring the traditional French wine vinegars from Martin Pouret.
Rustichella d'Abruzzo has been producing handcrafted, artisan pastas since the early 1900's, and this sumptuous gift features both a short and long cut of traditional Italian pasta. Authentic Dijon mustard is the basis for piquant dressings, sauces, and marinades, and that from Edmond Fallot is arguably the finest Dijon produced.
A sprinkling of Fleur de Sel can transform a dish, and the basket features the cherished hand harvested salt from Brittany's M. Gilles Hervy. Pungent Tellicherry peppercorns can be used to flavor both sweet and savory dishes, and natural and unrefined Muscovado sugars from Mauritius are a favorite of chefs and bakers. Finally, a generous bottle of Nielsen-Massey's Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla provides a sweet, creamy flavor to a variety of dishes and baked goods.
Ideal as a wedding gift or housewarming gift, The Essential Pantry will arrive beautifully packaged, adorned with an elegant ribbon and decorative floral pick.
