Burrata
Burrata is a fresh Italian cheese made from cow's milk (or sometimes buffalo milk). The word comes from the Italian word burro, which means butter. It features a solid outer shell of fresh mozzarella wrapped around a soft, creamy center filled with shredded curd and fresh cream called stracciatella.
Guanciale
Guanciale is an Italian cured meat made from the jowl or cheek of a pig. It is rubbed with salt, black pepper, and local spices, then cured for at least three months.
Guanciale and Pancetta are both Italian style bacons and are available as deli meats.. Guanciale has a stronger flavor and is more tender than Pancetta.
Brioschi
Brioschi is a popular, classic Italian effervescent powder used as a fast-acting digestive aid and antacid. Sold in distinctive blue-and-white glass or plastic bottles, it consists of small sugar-and-baking-soda granules with a natural lemon flavor that fizz instantly when stirred into cold water. The alkaline nature neutralizes excess stomach acid quickly to help relieve heartburn, sour stomach, and acid indigestion.
Hard to Find Pasta Shapes
Clockwise from top left
Mafaldine - a ribbon-based pasta is flat and wide, usually about 1 cm (½ inch) in width, with wavy edges on both sides with a curl at the ends that remains well defined even after cooking.
Fusilli col Buco - (also known long Fusilli) is a long version of spiral pasta.
Long Ziti - a long hollow pasta.
Pastina - also spelled as pastini, an Italian term for "little pasta.” Tiny shapes like stars, acini de pepe (which we also carry), or orzo that are cooked in broth with butter and Parmesan for a creamy, comforting dish.
Orzo - ashort-cut pasta shaped like a large grain of rice - similar, but larger than pastina or acini de pepe (which we also carry).
