This kit is a lovely present for the cook in your life.

This box contains:

Extra Virgin Olive Oil DOP: Every kitchen needs a versatile extra virgin olive oil, and this one from Fratepietro is a stunner. It’s made from a blend of bella di Cerignola and coratina olives grown in sunny Puglia on the Fratepietro family estate and is well-balanced enough to use in your everyday cooking, but has a crisp flavor that shines as a finishing oil.

Garlic Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil by Massimo Bottura: Turn your next dinner into a Michelin-level gourmet meal with this garlic-infused oil from Villa Manodori. Created by chef Massimo Bottura, whose restaurant Osteria Francescana in Modena has been ranked the best in the world, this oil showcases his genius with flavor. It’s made by blending extra virgin Italian olive oil with the essential oil of garlic, distilled using a special process that took years to perfect to capture the pungent allium’s flavor in its purest form. Fragrant and rich, this is an amazing finishing oil and a wonderful tool for building layers of flavor as you cook.

Organic Balsamic Vinegar Modena I.G.P.: From Modena, its spiritual home, this organic balsamic vinegar from Bellei is a rare find: a traditionally made balsamic that’s also certified organic. Aged in barrels, this is a rich, dense balsamic that can be used nearly anywhere.

Usage

Extra Virgin Olive Oil DOP from Fratepietro: This fruity extra virgin olive oil has a slightly bitter aftertaste, with notes of artichoke, unripe tomato, and fresh almond. It can be used for cooking or as a finishing oil, though, like all extra virgin olive oils, it should not be exposed to high heat. This oil pairs wells with chicken-based dishes, salads, vegetables, fish, and fresh cheeses like mozzarella or ricotta. Let the flavor sing by drizzling it on a simple bruschetta or serving it with homemade bread. For an elegantly decadent dessert, pool some of this oil over a scoop of chocolate gelato and top with a sprinkle of crunchy sea salt.

Garlic Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil by Massimo Bottura: With the rich, rounded aroma of garlic and smooth, buttery olive oil, a little of this oil goes a long way, though it’s never overpowering. Use it as a finishing oil over meats, especially roast chicken and lamb. For deliciously complex crostini for parties, add a drizzle of this oil over toasts topped with roasted or sundried tomatoes, pecorino cheese, and fresh basil. It’s a brilliant flavor booster for any of your favorite dishes that feature garlic at center stage, from Caesar salad to a classic pasta aglio e olio.

Organic Balsamic Vinegar Modena I.G.P. 12 year: Rich, dense, and sweetly sour, this aged balsamic is a truly versatile condiment. Use it for salads, of course, like a traditional Caprese with the best tomatoes you can find. It adds a complex depth and sweetness to cocktails and beverages. For a sophisticated dessert, drizzle a little over sliced strawberries or vanilla gelato.
