A Special Gift from Italy

 Send a gift in good taste, in the most literal sense. A Tuscan taste and flavor to tantalize the taste buds, perhaps something they’ve never tried before and will thank you for introducing to them. A gift they will use time and time again: delicious, imported Italian olive oil and balsamic vinegar are condiments which will not only add distinction to any oil and vinegar recipe, but a gift that is good for their health.

Authentic Italian balsamico is unparallel as a housewarming gift for the most discriminating of food lovers. It makes an outstanding housewarming gift and is always welcome among those who love to cook. The only concern when purchasing this precious condiment is that you won’t be able to part with it, and the gift’s intended recipient may never get to open and enjoy that bottle of Aceto Gran Reserva 25 Balsamico de Modena.

An Italian Bread Dipping Gift Set

What a special way to begin a meal, with an appetizer appealing to all the senses. Bring family and friends together to enjoy a basket of freshly-baked bread and custom-designed white stoneware dipping dishes filled with Italian olive oil. The spiral design of the dishes allows the subtle gradation of hues in the olive oil to be beautifully displayed. As premium olive oil is poured in each dish, a lovely floral rosette appears to charm your guests. Other dishes like steamed vegetables benefit from these gourmet dishes which also lend themselves to other oil or sauce-dipping adventures. This set is ideally accompanied by the glass Drizzle Cruets which are available separately at Cruets.com.

Italian Bread Dipping Herbs and Spices included.

Each year we look for that elusive unique gift idea. Is it for a holiday, a birthday or an anniversary? What gift selection should we consider? Another sweater which will be returned? An electronic gadget which they don’t need and don’t want? Here’s a better idea: how about the gift of gourmet food?
