Spaghettoni 14 500g La Molisana

This shape summarizes the essence and love for pasta. Monument to the essential: a simple string or a cylinder, is by far the world's most popular shape in Italy and abroad. Our new bronze item is a tribute to the lovers of fleshy pasta, which requires a few more minutes of cooking, but it gives satisfaction to the most demanding tastes in terms of thickness.

Cynar Artichoke Liqueur

Yes, that's right - this really is an artichoke liqueur!

The liqueur carries distinctive herbal notes married with hints of dried fruit and rounded by caramel smoothness. The result is a pleasant surprisingly rounded taste and smooth complex bittersweet notes. The rich and distinctive taste and the velvet texture make Cynar 70 proof perfect to be enjoyed as a shot or sipped as a premium brown spirit, or as the protagonist in sophisticated cocktails.

Dear Olivia (Paperback)

Mary's fascinating follow-up to Dear Francesca is now available in paperback. Mary Contini writes to her daughter Olivia to tell the story of her great-grandparents, the humble Italian shepherds who emigrated to Edinburgh and then helped to transform Britain's food culture. Sharing some of the recipes that they brought over, this is a mouth-watering memoir of family and food. Woven together from personal oral histories and extensive research, this is the moving, startling and inspiring story of the founders of Valvona & Crolla.

“Dear Olivia, we have inherited an ethos of work, a glorious heritage of family and food and most important, a faith in God. This is the final piece of the jigsaw, the untold part of your heritage that illuminates your past.”
