New to the country style pasta range are two traditional long pasta shapes namely, Spaghetti alla Chitarra and Tagliatelle. This special pasta has been produced according to the ancient rules of Italian pasta making. The rules are simple... mix very slowly fresh and pure water with fine durum wheat semolina, kneading the mixture with care so to achieve an elastic and homogeneous dough.
Squisito Artisan Pasta
New to the Squisito pasta range is seven Artisan pasta shapes. Our traditional craft of Artisan pasta making starts with using only the finest quality durum wheat semolina. This dough is then softly pressed and pushed into traditional bronze die plates. The natural drying process captures the regional Italian flavours and colours, creating perfect harmony in every dish.

Squisito Tomatoes
It is impossible to imagine Italian cooking without tomatoes, which seem to be a vital ingredient in almost every recipe. Tomatoes are used in so many different ways it is hard to know where to begin. They can be eaten raw, sliced, served with a trickle of extra virgin olive oil and some torn basil leaves. In the event where you cannot find beautiful and really flavoursome tomatoes use canned instead.

Aged in oak, chestnut, and juniper barrels, this traditional balsamic vinegar is extraordinarily harmonious in flavour with a creamy, dense consistency. Savour it’s smoothness over tossed salad greens. Drizzled over finely aged Parmiggiano Reggiano it delights even the most discerning palate.
