Beyond the harvest
Some of the shelf isn't picked — it's made fresh or aged with time.
All year
Buffalo mozzarella
Made fresh from buffalo milk every day of the year in Campania.
12 years +
Traditional balsamic
Autumn's grape must, cooked and aged in a cascade of wooden barrels.
Aged for months
Cured meats & cheeses
Salted, hung and cellared until they're ready — then shipped to our Miami warehouse.
Typical Italian harvest windows — timing shifts with weather, altitude and region. *Bronte pistachios are harvested only every other year (odd-numbered years).
