Pantry Staple Box

There are certain Italian ingredients we turn to again and again, whether we’re throwing together a quick dinner or planning a celebratory meal for family.

With this box, you’ll always have the basics for a delicious Italian meal on hand no matter what life throws at you.

This box contains:

Whole Corbara Pomodorini Tomatoes: These whole, unpeeled pomodorini (“tiny tomatoes”) in tomato juice are bite-sized, bell-shaped cherry tomatoes grown in the heart of Campania. Loyal fans will remember how much Giada loved the “blue can” pomodorini—that’s why we sourced our own! The corbarino tomato is a unique variety even more prized by connoisseurs than its neighbor, the San Marzano. With the perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, these tomatoes are Giada’s ultimate pick for sauces that sing with pure tomato flavor.

Gold-Wrapped Extra Virgin Olive Oil: There’s nothing more valuable in the kitchen than a top-quality olive oil—that’s why we wrapped our Giadzy extra virgin olive oil in gold! Light and fruity, it’s made with native taggiasca olives in the Liguria region, known as the Italian Riviera. The olives are cold-pressed and their oil is left unfiltered to preserve its rich, aromatic flavor and all those good-for-you antioxidants that make olive oil a healthy powerhouse. Golden yellow in color, our olive oil has a delicate, sweet flavor with notes of ripe olives and almonds. The bottle is wrapped in gold foil to protect the delicate oil from oxidation, a fittingly luxurious package for such a stunning elixir.

Organic Whole Wheat Mezzi Rigatoni Pasta: Elevate your everyday pasta with this organic mezzi rigatoni from Zaccagni, master pasta makers in Abruzzo. Shorter than the standard rigatoni, this pasta is an unexpectedly quirky take on a favorite shape. The rigatoni are slightly ridged to attract sauce, and are robust and flavorful thanks to the organic semolina flour Zaccagni uses. It’s a versatile shape that will find a home in all of your favorite pasta dishes.

Fig Jam: With a honeyed sweetness and a flavor like caramelized berries, these fig preserves from Agrimontana are a must-have for cheese plates and more. Made only from these highly prized white figs grown in Cilento, on the southern edge of the Amalfi Coast, these preserves capture more of the fruit’s delicate, unmistakable flavor than any other we’ve ever tried.

Crushed Calabrian Chili Paste: With a mellow, fruity heat that lingers on the palate but won't overwhelm, there's just no substitute for this crushed Calabrian chile paste from Tutto Calabria. The quintessential Italian chile, they are beloved around the country for the lively heat they bring to any dish. Similar in Scoville level to cayenne but with a depth of flavor unlike any other, this paste of fresh chiles crushed and preserved in olive oil is a must-have for any spice lover’s pantry. It’s one of Giada’s essential Italian ingredients.
