Since ancient times, salt has been a precious mineral. It was once traded ounce per ounce for gold and has even been used as a currency in Roman times. The word "salary" has its meaning based on the important role salt (säl? in Italian) has played throughout history. Salt is a natural product. It is either mined from the ground or is obtained through evaporated seawater. Alessi Kosher Sea Salt comes from the cool, blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea using the oldest method of obtaining salt: evaporation. Sea water is transferred through a series of evaporation ponds which successfully eliminate other elements. The hot, dry climate and gentle breezes hasten the evaporation process leaving behind only pure white crystals and other valuable trace minerals not found in regular salt. Alessi Kosher Sea Salt will add a new dimension to your cooking, adding both taste and texture. Savvy gourmets use crunchy sea salt crystals in their salt grinders. Made naturally from only the sea and the sun... Alessi Kosher Sea Salt.

The nutrient rich volcanic earth of Mt. Vesuvius produces the highly praised tomatoes known as San Marzano. With fleshy pulp and minimal seeds, this variety is less acidic and sweeter than other varieties. Only those grown in the valley of the Sarno River can be classified D.O.P. San Marzano Tomatoes. (Denominazione di Origine Protetta which translates to Protected Designation of Origin.) Alessi San Marzano Peeled Tomatoes bear the D.O.P. mark, a distinction governed by Italian law which ensures integrity of the product.

The origins of breadsticks date back to 1679 when a baker named Brunero Antonio, from Turin, Italy, was faced with the task of developing a bread suitable for the sick child of a king. Through much trial and error, Mr. Antonio developed crisp and delicate fingers of bread that we recognize today as breadsticks. Our imported Alessi Breadsticks are made with the same grissini torinesi (Turin style) recipe of centuries ago. We use only the highest quality ingredients, including our own Alessi Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Enjoy Alessi Breadsticks, either plain, sesame, or garlic flavored as an anytime snack.

Italy is Europe's largest producer of rice. The wetlands and cool temperatures of the Lombardia region harbor ideal conditions for growing the special rice.
