Luscious flavor from pure fig wine, with no infusions or additives, embodies Acetorium’s Fig Vinegar. Try it for marinating seafood or as a salad seasoning.
Acetorium vinegars are hand-crafted by esteemed winemaker Joseph Reiterer of Alto Adige and German master vinegar maker Robert Bauer. Instead of using flavor infusions they judiciously select the basic ingredients for each vinegar and then vinify them before beginning the vinegarization process. In other words, all Acetorium vinegars are made from fine wines. The vinegars are precision-aged in stainless steel tanks or wooden barrels. Imported from Italy. 250 ml. bottle.

We are excited to present a 30% off special for the much praised Tenuta Cocevola Olive Oil. You will be able to purchase this on our website for the outstanding price of $21.30 for the next week!
From Southern Puglia comes this small production DOP product. Their winery is set overlooking the Adriatic sea close to the enchanted and historical Castel del Monte.
This olive oil is incredibly fruity and bursting with flavor with a spicy kick to it’s finish. Lovely when mixed into pasta or for straight dipping with bread. The more the flavor of the olive oil can come through the dish, the better!

In this recipe, the breadsticks pieces absorb the liquid to add texture and contrast to the frittata. It’s a great way to use broken breadsticks and compliment our Casina Rossa truffle salt.
Ingredients
1 cup Tenuta Castello breadsticks, broken into 1-inch pieces
6 eggs
¼ cup heavy cream
½ cup cooked greens
½ cup cubed boiled potatoes
2 tablespoons Tenuta Cocevola extra virgin olive oil
Casina Rossa Truffle Salt, to taste
Directions
In a bowl, beat eggs with heavy cream until slightly foamy; beat in truffle salt. Place oil in a heavy sauté pan and allow to coat pan and heat well. Add greens and boiled potatoes and sauté briefly. Pour eggs over the greens and potatoes and cook until almost set.
Place the sauté pan under a broiler and cook until set.
Carefully remove frittata from the oven, taking care not to touch hot surfaces. Allow to rest slightly, finish with truffle salt, and serve hot.

This recipe for our new Gluten Free Corn Couscous takes less than 5 minutes to make and is a healthy, delicious and simple dish!
2 cups water
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 Box Bacchini Gluten Free Corn Couscous
1 Jar Radici of Tuscany Chianti Baby Chickpeas
2 tablespoons butter
In a large pot, add water, salt, oil, and bring up to a boil. Take pot off heat and add couscous. Cover and let sit in pot to absorb the water (2 minutes). Add butter and gently mix in to separate couscous. Mix in beans and serve warm.
Only five minutes for a delicious grain and legume dish! The Radici of Tuscany Chickpeas are packed in extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice so they add a great texture and flavor to the couscous, I highly recommend using this specific line of beans to make this a five star recipe.
