Mediterranean classic, the gourmet selection that extends summer.

The bad weather this weekend has perhaps signaled the end of summer. Unfortunately, it has done so in a rather heavy-handed manner, and we take this opportunity to express our solidarity with the Tuscan populations and those in the central-southern Italy who have been affected by disastrous downpours. A hug of encouragement also goes out to all the farmers who have seen a year's worth of sacrifices and dreams lost.

It is our task to never forget and to continue along the path of support for the land and its fragilities, always choosing more and more those who fight every day for its preservation and respect for its integrity. We owe it to our children and the generations to come.

Spaghetti & Mandolino thus continues its strong support for farmers and artisans of taste who never give up! For this reason, we have decided to restart this (somewhat sad) early September with a package full of light and life. Sun, sea, wind is the unifying link of the Mediterranean. A package that summarizes all the brightness of Italy and its joys at the table. A lifestyle that everyone in the world envies us for and of which we must always be proud.

This embodies the meaning of “du’ spaghi”. The scent of lands burnt by the sun and refreshed by the salty breezes of the sea. Italy colored in green, white, and red, just as its Basil, the Pasta di Gragnano IGP, and the red gold of the south, the Pomodorino del Piennolo del Vesuvio DOP with a bit of EVO oil from the north! When aesthetics and nature go hand in hand!

A package that summarizes the most important diet in the world, which is also safeguarded as an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO: Humanity’s Heritage for UNESCO. The Mediterranean diet is a mix of vitamins, proteins, and minerals, finding in olive nectar the binding element of this culinary marvel.

The pasta from Gragnano is still handmade in its historic models of Neapolitan pasta. Selected grains come from the best lands of Puglia, and water that flows from the Lattari Mountains passes through the charming valley of the mills, collected from the ancient pipes of the workshops from the late 1800s. One of the top 5 pastas from Gragnano, as experts affirm, with a pasta factory that still works with long drying times and at naturally ambient temperatures.
Try it: you’ll wonder what you've been eating until now.

The Tomato we present to you is the king, the number one of various Italian tomatoes. The Pomodorino del Piennolo del Vesuvio DOP is harvested at the foot of Vesuvius by the hands of Pasquale Imperato and his family. He is the great ambassador of the red gold of Vesuvius, who loves it so much that he has been the main responsible for obtaining the DOP certification.

The Basil is of the same species found along the Ligurian coast, particularly in the Ponente region. A little plant that you must nurture with great care and love. A package where, truly, there is life inside!

Finally, our Extra Virgin Olive Oil from the Luigi Ruffo agricultural company, cold-extracted from excellent Italian olives. You might be missing water, but that, you should add yourself…

At this point, the simplest yet most famous dish in the world will be on your tables to brighten your plates and enhance the artisanal production of works of art that come directly from the land. Land, man, product… the perfect triangle of life.
