/OUR STORY
"We're all about connecting everyday people to extraordinary ingredients
from artisan producers across Italy to bring Italian food to your kitchen."
​
It all began with a trip to Tuscany and my discovery of true Italian cooking.
Lounging in the morning sun, sipping smooth local espresso and nibbling crunchy
cantuccini in the piazzas of Lucca and Siena. Exploring all types of silky smooth pasta encased within vibrant sauces, served in the downstairs restaurants
of Florence and Bologna. Learning how to make authentic pizza dough under the
stars on a traditional olive oil farm near San Gimingnano, the smoke of the
hundred-year old oven forever in my memory.
​​
My travels took me on a journey of all my senses and sparked my passion for bringing
true Italian ingredients home to my own kitchen, inspiring me to experiment with
new recipes and even design some of my own. ​Now, I'm excited to share my love
of these ingredients and their artisan producers, and I hope that they inspire you
in your own "Italian Kitchen". Come down and meet the team in our shop in Castletown
on the Isle of Man or you can order our wonderful range online. You can also join
