The Summer Table

Four of Sicily's most essential savory flavors, together in one bundle. Open them on a patio, a stoop, a kitchen counter with the window open. No occasion required. No plan needed. Extra Virgin Olive Oil cold-pressed from a single grove in the Hyblaean Mountains of southeastern Sicily — harvested in November when the olives are still green, pressed within hours. The oil that makes everything taste more like itself. Pistachio Pesto from the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna, where the soil is rich and the summers are dry and the pistachios that grow there taste like no other pistachio on earth. Sun Dried Tomato Paté made from August tomatoes, split and dried slowly in the Sicilian sun the way they always have been — concentrated, earthy, deeply savory. Orange Blossom Honey harvested from the flowering citrus groves of eastern Sicily during the three weeks each spring when the blossoms are open. Sweet, floral, and gone before you know it. Four jars. The bread is already out. That's the whole afternoon. One of the most generous Sicilian food gifts you can give — for a housewarming, a host, a friend who deserves a long afternoon outside. Imported from Sicily. Ships in glass, never plastic.
