Company founders, Domenica and Beppe, began selling fresh truffles from Piedmont in 1968. As their business grew, so did their Alba restaurant “Da Beppe,” which was featured in the prestigious Michelin guide as a reference point for lovers of cooking based on mushrooms and truffles.

This creative collection of Colonna extra virgin olive oils has been infused with the zest of organic fruits such as Sicilian lemons, mandarins, oranges, bergamot, and spices such as cardamom and ginger. Set of 6– 250 ml bottles, #10082 $93.25

The pair launched Tartuflanghe in 1980 to give truffle aficionados the opportunity to enjoy good cooking year-round and access truffles out of season. The kitchen laboratories of Tartuflanghe produced the first truffle pasta product in the world (awarded Best New Product in 1992 at the Summer Fancy Food Show in New York), followed by prepared risotto, polenta, fonduta, and olive oils with truffle.

Il Pastaio di Gr agnano

Pasta Guide The shape and texture of pasta determine how it will capture and absorb sauce. For a perfect pasta pairing, choose flatter, longer shapes for olive oil and cream sauces, and sturdier shapes for chunkier and more assertively flavored sauces. All pastas work well with simple tomato and butter sauces.

F. Spaghetti

No mere spaghetti: The painstaking process used to produce this stringshape pasta—a blend of ancient artisan techniques and state-of-the-art technologies—took years to refine. The result is a premium spaghetti. 500 g (17.66 oz), #60050 $4.55 Il Pastaio di Gr agnano

G. Linguine

Aptly named “little tongues,” this long, flat pasta is thinner and narrower than fettuccine but still provides the perfect surface for sauces. Originating in Italy’s coastal Liguria region, it’s a natural to pair with dishes such as Linguine con pesto alle noci e gamberi (linguine with shrimp and walnut pesto) and Linguine alle vongole, fagiolini e scalogno (linguine with clams, green beans, and shallots). 500 g (17.66 oz), #60060 $4.55 Il Pastaio di Gr agnano H. Caserecce

A Sicilian original, this fanciful, scrollshaped pasta adds a creative dimension to traditional Mediterranean recipes.

Try the traditional Cime di Rapa–caserecce topped with sautéed turnip tops, anchovy filets, and garlic. 500 g (17.66 oz), #60070 $4.55

Pepe Nero – Black Peppercorns Pepper is the world’s most common spice, yet there is nothing common about this natural black selection. The legendary flavor—powerful and slightly hot with a hint of sweetness—comes from the world’s finest peppercorns. Grind to desired texture or use pre-ground. Whole, 1.8 oz, #32000 $5.33 Ground, 1.8 oz, #32001 $5.77

Pepe Verde – Green Peppercorns The berries used to produce the peppercorns are harvested two months prior to maturity, then immediately dried to preserve the brilliant green hue and delicate flavor. Blend with brandy, stock, and cream to create a sauce for beef or pork filet. 2.0 oz, #32005 $5.33

Pepe Rosa – Pink Peppercorns The Peruvian pepper tree produces firered berries, which aren’t a true pepper but still deliver a powerful, peppery taste. These “pink peppercorns” have a delicate and prickly perfume reminiscent of black pepper. The aroma is slightly sour and gently fruity. 2.0 oz, #32010 $6.20

Pepe Bianco – White Peppercorns

Coriandolo – Coriander

Cardamom

Cumino – Cumin

The dried seeds of the cilantro plant are similar in taste to a blend of lemon, sage, and caraway. The characteristic perfume is slightly musky. An essential ingredient in every well-stocked pantry, coriander seed is a key spice in Indian curries and gravies. It also matches well with fish, ham, lamb, lentils, pork, stuffing, tomatoes, and turkey. 2.0 oz, #32015 $4.75

A spice native to India, cardamom is a relative of ginger. It has a warm, spicy flavor. Commonly used in Asian and Scandinavian cuisine, it is also a familiar taste in Turkish coffee and spiced teas. Cardamom quickly loses its essential oils when ground. Whole pods are best for maximum flavor, and they grind easily using a mortar and pestle. Whole, 1.3 oz, #32075 $9.47

Native to the Mediterranean region, cumin is an essential ingredient in couscous and is also used for flavoring meats, cheeses, and meat sauce. Cumin is also indispensable in making Texas chili and many Mexican dishes. Whole, 2.0 oz, #32040 $5.60

Chiodi Di Garofano – Cloves

Nutmeg

Popular in Asian and Middle Eastern dishes, cloves can be roasted with coffee, blended with cinnamon to stew fruits, and simmered in stews or hearty meat broths. Use when preparing baked ham or when slow-cooking apples, beets, game, pumpkin, or sausage.

Nutmeg seeds are best grated fresh for use in baked goods, custards, and as a topping for eggnog. European cooks are fond of adding nutmeg to cream sauces, Hollandaise sauce, and numerous vegetable dishes. Try a frothy Cappuccino with a little freshly grated nutmeg. Whole, 1.8 oz, #32080 $7.67

Whole, 2.0 oz, #32020 $4.75 Ground, 1.8 oz, #32021 $6.33

Ginepro – Juniper Berries In ancient Rome, juniper berries were the expensive alternative to pepper. Today, this bluish fruit of a small, prickly bush is an affordable and unconventional option to traditional pepper. Crush the berries before using to unleash the full flavor and fragrance. 2.0 oz, #32025 $5.15

Bay Leaves Aromatic leaves of the bay laurel tree have long been a part of Mediterranean culture. A historic symbol of honor and victory, it is also a well-known culinary standby. Soups, stews, stocks, meats, and vegetables can all benefit from a bay leaf or two. Whole, 10 g, #32110 $4.80

Semi Di Finocchio – Fennel

Peperoncino Flakes – Sweet Chile Flakes

Found in traditional Tuscan recipes, fennel seeds produce a pleasing aroma in bread and cakes. The spice is also coveted for its touted health benefits, such as easing digestion and reducing inflammation. 2.0 oz, #32035 $4.87

These are the crushed red Italian pepper flakes that most Americans associate with pizza. A pinch of Peperoncino Flakes is a convenient way to add a little warmth to any dish or cuisine. The sweet version is just the pepper flavors without the heat.

Allspice

Hot, 1.1 oz, #32121 $5.23 Sweet, 2.9 oz, #32125 $6.33

Allspice, also known as Jamaica pepper, tastes much like a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Chefs often include whole allspice along with cloves and black peppercorns in their stocks. Ground allspice is routinely used in baking and desserts. Whole, 1.4 oz, #32070 $10.47 Ground, 1.8 oz, #32071 $9.37

Cannella – Cinnamon Ours is real Ceylon cinnamon—not cassia, often sold as cinnamon—made from the bark of a small evergreen tree. The thinlayered sticks can be made into powder using a coffee or spice grinder, or simply measure the ground version. Whole, 2.0 oz, #32030 $6.77 Ground, 1.8 oz, #32031 $5.83

Rosmarino – Rosemary The cool and pleasant perfume makes this spice a favorite choice when roasting meat or potatoes. Sprinkle a handful of rosemary over the hot coals when grilling outside to create an enticing aroma. Also use to season soups, fish, pork, veal, poultry, mushrooms, and spinach. 2.0 oz, #32045 $4.87

Origano Verde Sicilia – Green Oregano Sicily Oregano is considered Italy’s signature spice and this selection, grown in Sicily, is considered the world’s best. The light, spicy taste gives a pleasant aroma to artichokes, beans, chicken, eggplant, fish, lamb, mushrooms, pasta, peppers, pizza, veal, and zucchini. 2.0 oz, #32050 $5.90

Timo – Thyme This festive herb from the mint family was considered a symbol of courage in ancient Greece. Today, it is sought-after as a seasoning for meat sauces, stews, duck, and goose. Use small quantities to garnish fresh fruit desserts. 2.0 oz, #32055 $5.05

Zenzero Macinato – Ground Ginger The nobby root of the Asian ginger plant is ground to a fine powder with a peppery, slightly sweet taste. Adds exceptional flavor to pastries, cakes, cookies, ice cream, fruit, carrots, and ham. 2.0 oz, #32065 $4.73

Soffritto Italiano – Herb Mix This salt-free blend of aromatic herbs and vegetables is simply delicious. Mix two tablespoons with three tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a half glass of water, pour into a pan, and heat for 10 minutes to create a traditional base for your favorite Italian recipes. 3.5 oz, #32060 $9.45 call

Our Newest Products Tucked away on Red Wing Loop in Keno, Oregon, is our newest vendor, Oregon Mushrooms. The owners, who purposely keep their self-proclaimed mom-and-pop business small so they can stay home and raise their children, started out hunting for wild mushrooms and drying them for future use. In 1999 they started selling one-ounce bags of dry morels on eBay, and the response was overwhelmingly positive. When their eBay customers began clamoring for more variety, Oregon Mushrooms built a website and expanded its product line to include wild mushrooms from Oregon and California and imported, cultivated products from China and Italy.

Honey & Syrups

Customer Assistance

Honey & Syrups Healthier Than Sugar Try cooking with honey instead of sugar—you need to use only about half as much honey since it’s sweeter than sugar. Or, if you’re feeling blue, try a spoonful of honey as a pick-me-up. Honey also packs some sweet health benefits beyond its delicious taste and sweetening capacity. This natural healer is rich in health-promoting antioxidants, promotes digestive health, and can help alleviate allergies. And for people with Type II diabetes, the use of honey produces a smaller blood glucose and insulin response than similar amounts of carbohydrate from sucrose.

Our Chocolatiers Thomas Jefferson developed a taste for fine chocolates and other gourmet pleasures while serving as a diplomat to France. While Jefferson isn’t around to tell the tale, it’s likely that his favorite chocolates were Olivier, which were served at the finest tables and salons in Paris at the time. Founded in 1780, Chocolats Olivier is the oldest maker of fine artisan chocolates in France and one of the world’s original chocolatiers. While it would be nice to sample some in Paris as Jefferson did, Avanti Savoia saves you the trip.
