Yellowfin Tuna, Pasta gift Basket and Balsamic Vinegar of Modena

March 19th, 2010

Recently, I’ve been made aware of an interesting store offering a wide variety of exotic spices, foods and more. It’s CyberCucina.

Among the things they have to offer:

 

     

     

  • Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. A variety of containers labeled Balsamic Vinegar can be stumbled upon in most grocery stores. However, there is balsamic vinegar and then there is Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. One need not be a chef or connoisseur to tell the difference because the difference in taste is readily apparent.

  • Pasta Gift Basket.

     

    Quoting directly from the CyberCucina web site:

    We believe pasta is one of the most versatile food products available. With all of its shape variations and the myriad of sauce combinations, the possiblilities are practically endless.

    Our Gourmet Pasta Sampler offers some familiar and some quite unique pasta cuts to enjoy. We begin with Croxetti, pasta discs in the shape of coins each stamped with a stalk of wheat. They are wonderful with substantial sauces such as pesto or walnut sauce.

    Next we offer Troffiette. This thin, tight twist shaped pasta has the appearance of being hand rolled and then “pinched” at each end. It is commonly served with basil pesto or walnut pesto since its twisted shape holds these sauces nicely.

    Trofiette is also delicious when served with fresh seasonal vegetables like green beans or spinach served with pancetta or potatoes in a rich meat based broth. Try trofiette with butter and fresh herbs served with a meaty fish or with shellfish.

    Gnocchi are similar to potato dumplings. They are elegant served with a butter-sage sauce, and rustic and homey with a tomato based sauce.

    Farro is an excellent grain which is a precursor of wheat and much easier to digest. It has a bit of a nutty flavor but works well with most sauce preparations. We offer two cuts of Farro pasta—Rigatini and Pizzichi.

    We complete our selection with two small cuts of pasta which work well with soups as well as salads—Orzo, which is very similar to rice, and Fregola Sarda which is a bit like a large grain couscous.

    The entire pasta collection is presented in a beribboned gift box and suits any gift-giving occasion.

     

     

  • Yellowfin Tuna

     

    Tonnino tuna fillets with garlic in olive oil Offer a versatile alternative as the main ingredient in a salad, combined with rice or pasta as a main dish, or simply enjoyed as a canapé on soda crackers or toast.

    Tuna is an excellent source of high quality protein, and is rich in a variety of important nutrients including minerals such as selenium, magnesium, and potassium; the B vitamins niacin, B1 and B6; and perhaps most importantly, the beneficial omega-3 essential fatty acids. In addition, our tuna is preserved in Olive Oil, another excellent dietary choice.

    Tonnino tuna is wild caught, dolphin safe and hand packed in glass jars without preservatives, additives, or fillers.

    Each jar of Tonnino Tuna Fillets with Garlic in Olive Oil contains 6.7oz. or 190g.
