We recently announced a great addition to our offer: you can now shop the entire “Sfarinati” line by La Molisana.

This line of flours and Semolina covers all your basic needs in the kitchen: you can find the perfect flour to cook friable home-made pizzas or crunchy cookies, make the most fragrant batter,, or the perfect home-made pasta.

What we like about La Molisana Sfarinati line is that it makes it super simple to choose the best flour for your recipes, but have you ever wondered why there is such a wide choice also for an apparently simple ingredient such as flour?

We will try to explain the main differences that will be game-changers in your baking habits!

How to choose the best pasta format for every recipe!

Did you know that on average an Italian eats 26 kg of pasta each year? In the US the average is of only 8,8 kg per person!

Maybe because we eat it so often, we refined the art of choosing the right pasta for each sauce. Pasta is the perfect ingredient to create every day a different meal, even while you are staying home, and with the added perks of not spending a fortune!

How to choose the perfect Italian Taralli

Where to start….

You may have noticed that there is a great choice of taralli on our website and this is only to be expected since taralli have been around in Italy since 1400. The origin of these delicious savory snacks is lost in legends, as is the origin of their name, but it is certain that they became very popular, especially in the south of Italy in the regions of Puglia and Campania, and this is where most of the variations we love today were born.

Mother’s Day is celebrated each year on the second Sunday of May, which means...you should start planning something special for you Mamma on May 10th!

The perfect present for your Mamma (besides love):

“Are you hungry?” is the first question an Italian mum will ask you, so if you are living together during quarantine your surprise could be you cooking something special for her.

We know it is not easy to kick a mum out of her kitchen, so try organizing a surprise breakfast and beat her on timing getting ready before she even wakes up! ;)

Send some love and amazing food to your loved ones!

This year Easter will undoubtedly be different and we sincerely hope that you and your loved ones are healthy and safe.

Despite the challenging times we are living, we still believe Easter is worth celebrating and we are sure we can find new ways to share it with our loved ones. How about placing an order on our site and have it delivered to them for example? You don’t need to go out of the house to send them some love and comfort food! ;)

Nobody expected our lives to change so much from one day to the other.

As #ItalianAmericans we heard from our friends and families back in Italy how things changed rapidly also there and we had a feeling that we should get ready to be more united than ever, even from far away.

The best thing we can do is to stay home, try to stay safe for our families and be responsible avoiding all unnecessary risks.

Growing up in Italy, every February we celebrate the Carnival!

Carnival takes place 40 days before Easter and it ends on the night of "Fat Tuesday". In 2020 the “Fat Tuesday” will be on the 25th of February leaving us 3 weekends to celebrate!

The most famous carnival of Italy is the one celebrated in Venice, but also other cities like Viareggio and Ivrea, still follow spectacular traditions during this festivity!

In Venice, the carnival includes sophisticated masquerades and parades while in Ivrea, for example, the core celebration centers around the Battle of the Oranges which involves townspeople and tourists, divided into teams, throwing oranges at cart-based teams  — with considerable violence!

“L’Epifania tutte le feste porta via”is an Italian saying meaning: “With the Epiphany, all the holidays are over”.

The Epiphany, or day of the “Befana”, is celebrated each year in Italy on the 6th of January, marking the end of the winter holidays which began on Christmas. The 6th of January is usually also the last day of vacation from school for the kids.

A perfect gift for you and your loved ones!

With the holidays approaching, I wanted to create something a bit special to share with all of you. This is how the Laura’s Gourmet selection was born. 

I picked some of the treats that are a tradition on our family table, but I tried to select the ones that also had something unexpected and special. Who says tradition can’t be a surprise?

First of all, I knew I needed to include a Panettone so I asked some advice to Borsari, our friends from Verona, to choose the best artisanal Pan
