‘Italy’ and ‘food’ are two words that go together like few others (and make our mouths water at the very sound!). Our new range of sweet and savoury food boxes are filled with a specially curated selection of artisanal ingredients and products made with love by our favourite artisans, brands and friends across Italy. They take ‘BuonISSIMO’ to a whole new level!
From pasta to ragù, olive oil to everyone’s favourite biscotti, we’ve made it easy to experience the authentic flavour of Italy through the finest-quality products, and there’s something to please all tastes and personalities. Launching at the perfect time ahead of the holiday season, these boxes are a great gift idea for friends, family and loved ones (and don’t forget to treat yourself too!) They take the stress out of trying to buy the perfect gift for anyone who loves a taste of ‘La dolce vita’. Shall we ‘unbox’ them and see what’s inside?
In the holiday spirit | Christmas Sweets Box
We never need a reason to indulge in a few dolci, but the festive season is definitely a time to sneak in a few extra! Our Festive Sweet Box is filled with a range of artisanal Italian biscuits and confections that capture the joyful taste of the holiday season.
We never need a reason to indulge in a few dolci, but the festive season is definitely a time to sneak in a few extra! Our Festive Sweet Box is filled with a range of artisanal Italian biscuits and confections that capture the joyful taste of the holiday season. It includes a box of the delectably soft Nannini Ricciarelli Almond Biscuits traditional to Siena, along with Nannini’s hand-wrapped Panforte di Siena; an ancient recipe enriched with candied fruit and spices.
If these treats don’t have the family dancing around the table, our box also contains sweets from the heritage confectioners Sorelle Nurzia, such as their Soft Torrone with Extra Dark Chocolate and the Classic White Torrone with Almonds. That’s not all! We’ve also included everyone’s favourite ISSIMO Il Pellicano Christmas Decoration; a little hand-blown glass masterpiece in the form of our beloved Pelican. This is one decoration and festive collector’s item every ‘FichISSIMO’ Christmas Tree’ needs.
Baked to perfection | Biscotti Box
Here at ISSIMO, we know our biscotti. You can be sure we’ve tried and tested them all to bring you the best in our Biscotti Box. It includes a line-up of golden bites from some of Italy’s most-loved biscotterias and pasticcerias, all baked to perfection!
These include a classic box from historical Pasticceria Portinaro Krumiri Rossi and the famous handmade Baci di Dama from Pasticceria Chieregato. Whether you like them with your morning caffè, or as a mid-afternoon snack, it’s impossible to stop at one!
Our Biscotti Box also contains a pack of the deliciously crunchy Ciambelline with Red Wine and Almonds by Gentilini, one of our favourite heritage artisanal companies that has crafted traditional Italian biscotti since 1890. And many people say, you haven’t tried Cantucci until you’ve tried Antonio Mattei’s Prato Cantucci with Almonds, which are perfect for eating on their own, with a cup of coffee, or even better, with a glass of sweet Vinsanto dessert wine.
Just like Nonna makes it | Ragù Box
Consider this Ragù Box a homage to Sunday lunch at Nonna’s house. It features all the ingredients you need to whip up a delicious plate of pasta inspired by her classic recipe.
Discover the rich, full-bodied flavour of an authentic ragu with the ISSIMO Traditional Ragù Sauce, which pairs perfectly with our 100% Italian durum wheat ISSIMO Penne.
Ask any Italian chef about some of their essential ingredients, and you can bet high-quality olive oil will be among them. Cultivated in Sicilian groves, our ISSIMO Extra Virgin Olive Oil Deciso is the perfect base for countless Italian recipes and is full of flavour. We’ve even included our best-selling ISSIMO Il Pellicano Tote Bag, your new favourite shopping companion for market days and weekends.
For the Pasta purists | Pasta Box
Our Pasta Box needs no explanation. It’s filled with the essentials: our ISSIMO 100% durum wheat pasta in three varieties to keep everyone happy. There’s ISSIMO Spaghetti for days when only a classic Spaghetti al pomodoro will do, as well as the versatile ISSIMO Paccheri and ISSIMO Penne, which pair perfectly with a range of sauces, ragù, and pesto. This box also included our ISSIMO Il Pellicano Tote Bag.
A taste of Roma | Amatriciana Box
No matter where you are in the world, you can prepare an authentic Roman-style dinner at home with our Amatriciana Box. Our rich ISSIMO Amatriciana Sauce is the star of the show, with just the right amount of spice to tantalise the taste buds. Serve it with our ISSIMO Paccheri for the perfect plate of pasta any night of the week.
This box also includes our ISSIMO Il Pellicano Tote Bag and ISSIMO Extra Virgin Olive Oil Deciso – an essential that no Italian chef (and home chef) should ever be without!
The Classics | Tomato Basil Box
Sometimes you just can’t beat the classics – a simple plate of ‘Pasta al pomodoro’ with a hint of basil is one of life’s greatest joys!
Our Tomato Basil Box features our ISSIMO Tomato Basil Sauce and ISSIMO Spaghetti so you can whip up this timeless dish the authentic way–using the best artisanal Italian ingredients.
Again, we have also included our ISSIMO Il Pellicano Tote Bag and ISSIMO Extra Virgin Olive Oil Deciso. Classics forever!
