A flavor that belongs to Chianti, garlic sausage is the simplest thing in the world: pork meat, sea salt, black pepper and fresh, crushed garlic.

CHIANTI BUTTER
Take a slice of grilled Tuscan bread, spread with a bit of this “gift from God”, let it sweat for a moment, then bite into it.
A food as divine as it is simple, genuine and ingenious.

RUSTIC PORK PATE’
It is known that Caterina de’ Medici, upon marrying Henry II King of France, brought with her cooks, butchers, bakers and whatever else she would need for her cooking needs, rightly considering the latter a noble and fundamental art for a good life. My Rustic Pork Pate’ comes from this tradition.
Cut it into slices when it is still cold and serve it on slices of roasted bread. For this preparation, as for all the others, it is highly recommended to start the process by pouring yourself a nice glass of Chianti red wine, ready to use, with which to toast at the beginning of the meal!
Store in the fridge, vacuum-sealed and unopened, for up to 3 months.
JARS
MEDITERRANEAN SAUCE
The origins of this sauce are to be found in ancient times, in old monasteries where patient monks manufactured it to preserve fruit and vegetables, in order to avoid that they would go bad. In addition, given that during the winter the monasteries were for long periods in solitary confinement without any contact with the outside world, making this sauce was also an easy way to make sure they had some preserves for those times.
And because you can eat this sauce with almost any dish, the monks were sure to have a great condiment for their tables.

MUSTARD
My wife’s name is Kim, she was raised in an American family with Danish heritage.
Her great-grandmother’s recipe, all raw ingredients.
It is common belief that mustard was cultivated for the first time in India in 3000 BC and was eventually exported to the West; it was well known by ancient Romans, who used it for the preparation of many dishes and for healing.
Our mustard goes well with beef or pork dishes, burgers, roasted or boiled meats, ham, broken hearts and burns.
Store at room temperature.
Once opened, keep refrigerated.
ESSENCE OF CHIANTI
Profumo del Chianti is the essence of Tuscany.
Very fine sea salt with a mixture of sage, lavender, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, fennel flower, juniper and bay leaf which I personally dose and grind. Traditionally, salt was very expensive and to save money our farmers “cut” it with aromatic, perfumed and digestive herbs.
This has the effect of the flavor and health of the herbs with much less salt. Ancient savings become a benefit.
USE
Essence of Chianti is great on all types of dishes. Use it to salt steak after grilling it, sprinkle on toast along with extra-virgin olive oil and use it to remember us when you’ll be far.
Store at room temperature.
Once opened, keep in a dry and cool place.
