    Rustichella d'Abruzzo

    Abruzzo

    Artisan pasta from a family mill. Five times the texture.

  • 🧀

    Parmigiano Reggiano 24mo

    Emilia-Romagna

    Two years in the cave. Crystalline, nutty, never not worth it.

    Pecorino Romano DOP

    Lazio

    Sharp, salty, the spine of cacio e pepe.

San Marzano, Cetara anchovies, lemon curd from Amalfi.

2 items

Coffee

Neapolitan roasts, stovetop-ready, impossibly dark.

  • Illy Classico Espresso

    Friuli Venezia Giulia

    Smooth, balanced, the silver tin.

  • Kimbo Napoletano

  • Bialetti Moka Express

    Piedmont

    The octagonal pot. Every Italian kitchen owns one.

    Barolo DOCG

    Piedmont

  • 🥂

    Prosecco Valdobbiadene DOCG

    Veneto

    The hilltop Prosecco. Not the motorway-stop one.

    DOCG — the highest grade — from the steep hills above Valdobbiadene. Dry, mineral, nothing like the sweet supermarket version.

    Amazon UK

3 items
  • 🍞

    Panettone Classico

    Lombardy

    Milanese Christmas cake. Don't wait for Christmas.

    Natural-leavened, 36-hour proof, candied citrus. Good panettone is a revelation — Motta or Bauli at minimum, artisan if you can.

    Amazon UK
  • 🍪

    Amaretti di Saronno

    Lombardy

    Bitter-almond biscuits in a red tin.

    The red tin is iconic. Crisp, almondy, the paper wrappers are famously flammable for party tricks.

  • 🍬

    Sicilian Torrone

    Sicily

    Honey, egg whites, almonds or pistachios. Chewy or brittle.

    Ancient confection, still made in Sicilian towns. Bronte-pistachio torrone is the green-flecked gold standard.
