Our Artisan Producers

The Galantino family has been pressing olive oil in Puglia since 1926. Their signature ceramic bottles are hand-painted by local artisans — each one unique, each one a work of art. The olive oil inside is equally extraordinary: cold-pressed from centuries-old trees.

Nestled in the Langhe hills of Piedmont — home of the world's most prized white truffle — TartufLanghe has been transforming this extraordinary ingredient into accessible luxury since 1990. From truffle cashews to truffle sauces, every product is a celebration of this remarkable fungus.

In the forests around Pietralunga in Umbria, the Giuliano family has been hunting truffles for four generations. Their deep knowledge of the land and its seasons allows them to source truffles of exceptional quality, which they preserve using traditional methods.

In the rice paddies of Lomellina — Italy's rice country — Gli Aironi cultivates heritage varieties of rice using traditional methods. Their risotto rices are prized by chefs across Italy for their superior starch content and ability to absorb flavors.

Since 1718, the Lazzaroni family has crafted amaretti cookies in Saronno, Italy according to their family's traditional recipe. Lazzaroni's legendary amaretti cookies, or Amaretti Di Saronno, are made from a mixture of sugar, apricot kernels, and egg whites. The results of Lazzaroni's traditional process are crisp, airy cookies with a distinctive bittersweet flavor that make them perfect with espresso, dessert wine, or aperitifs.

Acetaia Leonardi has been producing balsamic vinegar since the mid-19th century. They source all their grapes from their own vineyards and control every step in producing their balsamic vinegar. Grapes are picked by hand and gently pressed to prevent bitterness and the process of transforming the cooked grape juice, or grape must, into aged vinegar has been passed down from father to son for generations. Ponte Vecchio is an exclusive label by Leonardi for Zia Pia, and offers a wide range of balsamic vinegars, from classic vinegars for everyday use to 25 year aged balsamic vinegar for the most special occasions

Antico Pastificio Umbro is located in the green valley at the bottom of Mount Subasio right between Assisi, Perugia and Spoleto. The region of Umbria is well known for its agricultural heritage and its lush green landscape.

In the last century, the pasta makers in this region have built an amazing community of pasta factories and Antico Pastificio Umbro builds on these traditions to create an artisanal pasta worthy of the storied heritage of Umbria.

The pure waters from the small rivers of Mount Subasio and the bronze dies used to shape the pasta give it a rough and porous texture to allow the pasta to bind with the sauce.

The story of Agricola Paglione is a story of love and respect for the land, the history, the food, and the wine of Daunia, the northernmost region of Puglia. The Albano-Faccilongo family has been working in agriculture for four generations and within the last 20 years they have transformed their estate and growing practices to 100% organic. Agricola Paglione embodies values like quality, authenticity, craftsmanship, biodiversity and sustainability.
