Italian Pasta Meal Kit with Farfalle- Intosso Olive Oil
Experience Italy at home with our Italian Pasta Meal Kit! This kit includes imported olive oil from Italy, made from the rare Intosso olive native to the Abruzzo region. Savor the flavor as you and your favorite dinner companion cook a perfect pasta with our farfalle pasta and grated Parmigiano Reggiano packs. Bring a touch of Italy to your date night!
The 250 ml bottle of Oilala olive oil is imported directly from Italy, made by an award-winning producer in the Abruzzo region known for making some of the best Italian olive oils. This monovariety intosso extra virgin oil reflects the bold nature of these olives, known for their characteristic bitterness. This same intensity is found in the extra virgin olive oil: a tasting experience that enchants for its power and balance.
The kit also comes with an 8oz pack of grated Parmigiano Reggiano, imported from the exclusive mountain dairies of Reggio Emilia. Real parmesan cheese like this is naturally lactose free and must not contain additives or artificial ingredients of any kind. It is an amazing source of protein made in Italy for over 1,000 years!
Last but not least, a bag of farfalle pasta is included, containing one pound of authentic short pasta from the Gragnano region of Italy- famous for maintaining its ancient pasta making traditions. This pasta, made with durum wheat, can be used in a variety of recipes that are healthy and easy to make.
Feeling a vegetarian pasta? Make a vegetable sauce that balances the flavors of artichoke and nuts in the olive oil with the umami flavors of imported parmesan cheese. Or, pair the pasta with a ragu bolognese meat sauce and use the olive oil and Parmigiano Reggiano in a salad to start.
Note: We do not use preservatives or artificial ingredients in our Parmigiano Reggiano products, which means they are not shelf stable. Please refrigerate your cheese as soon as possible upon receiving it.

Frequently Asked Questions about Our Products
How do you bring your products to the United States?
How do you bring your products to the United States?
We import everything directly from our close partners in Italy, without the use of middlemen. We know the owners of every business we work with. The products come in bulk, by boat, to our facilities in North Carolina- which allows us to reduce shipping costs and keep prices lower than other Parmigiano Reggiano dealers.
Why are your Parmigiano Reggiano prices lower than in other stores?
Why are your Parmigiano Reggiano prices lower than in other stores?
A few reason! Our business is owned by an Italian from Reggio Emilia, who has been close family friends with a Parmigiano Reggiano dealer for decades. This means we do not have to buy from corporations or dealers in Italy- we go straight to the source.
Secondly, we import all of our wheels by boat, in refrigerated shipping containers, to keep the transport costs low. This allows us to spread the cost of shipping from Italy across more customers- saving both you and us money.
Finally, we cut out all of the brokers in the United States. We do all of the regulatory and logistics work ourselves, without needing to pay consultants. Then we pass those savings onto you!
How do I store your products?
How do I store your products?
All of our Parmigiano Reggiano products must be stored in the refrigerator. Authentic parmesan does not contain artificial preservatives and is not shelf stable. For the cuts (not grated), we recommend keeping them in glass tupperware or wrapped tightly in a quality plastic wrap.
Our olive oils should stay in areas of the home that are room temperature and do not get too hot.
Lambrusco can stay in the pantry, but should be chilled before drinking.

Is Parmigiano Reggiano different from Parmesan?
Is Parmigiano Reggiano different from Parmesan?
Parmigiano Reggiano is the only true parmesan. If a cheese is certified as Parmigiano Reggiano, it means the Italian authorities can guarantee that it was made in the authorized production zone in Italy and does not contain preservatives or artificial ingredients. If a cheese is not labeled as Parmigiano Reggiano, it legally must be called parmesan to ensure customers understand that it is not original.
If you see "Parmesan" on the menu or on the product- it most likely means you are buying a copy of the real thing.
What is a Monovarietal Olive Oil?
What is a Monovarietal Olive Oil?
Monovarietal olive oils only use one variety of olive. This leads to a higher quality oil and to more diversity in the taste of different oils. When only using one olive, the producer has more flexibility to really allow the native properties of that oil to shine.
Monovarietal olive oils tend to be more expensive than oils that have been cut with lower quality oils, because they typically come from specialized groves rather than industrial plantations.
How will the products be delivered?
How will the products be delivered?
