BUYING GUIDE

Organized by store type, you’ll find some classics and some new introductions. For more information and regularly updated curated product collections don’t forget to check out www.Ritrovo.com and please be sure to subscribe to our monthly email blast!

Seattle, WA 98106 USA - 1-866-RITROVO (748-7686) - (206) 985-1635 - Fax: (206) 768-1191 - www.ritrovo.com

For nearly two decades, RITROVO® Italian Regional Foods has distinguished itself throughout the specialty food industry for the quality, authenticity and aesthetic appeal of its products. Our solid reputation is based on the skill with which we have introduced our customers to the diversity, beauty and realities of bringing regional Italian small farm products to market. We’ve logged literally tens-of-thousands of miles, spent hour upon hour of research, and worked side by side with our Italian producers to become developers of the highest quality regionally-inspired products from throughout the length and breadth of Italy.

We are internationally recognized as true intercultural collaborators and representatives - due to our continual exploration of Italy’s deep trove of

cultural food traditions and our ability to create sustainable avenues for farm based, hand-crafted products. Through the years we have carefully cultivated close relationships with talented and dedicated producers, and we truly enjoy bringing their products and their stories to you. For example: While in Matera last spring we paid our annual visit to one of Ultimo Forno’s bread bakeries. There we were reminded of how over the years we have literally hungered for their amazing hand-formed loaves, which are occasionally flown over to us by Ultimo’s foraging supplier Gianni Schiuma. On this visit we saw a way to incorporate that special bread into many more meals for ourselves and our customers: Ultimo Forno Breadcrumbs. These rustic breadcrumbs are ground from the whole bread, and their rustic texture tastes and feels that way. For 2016 we offer them both plain and blended with Fior di Maiella’s amazing “mozzafiato” spice and herb blend.

For us, sharing this knowledge is equally important to the integrity and the quality of the products themselves. We want our customers to be enriched by the stories, and to bring the joy and passion we hold for these products to their stores and customers.

We welcome you and we invite you to savor our new offerings. Our best wishes for success in the New Year. Let us enjoy the bounty that Italy brings to us.

Buon appetito,

Ron and Ilyse

LE FERREFor five generations Le Ferre has carefully tended their olive groves on ancient acreage in the rural area of Castellaneta (Taranto, Apuglia), a flourishing valley nestled between the Ionian Sea and the hills leading into the many parks along the “heel” of Italy’s boot. Brothers Luca and Giuseppe Esposito began updating their production in 2005, and have brought their fields and facilities in step with state of the art techniques and equipment. RITROVO® is pleased to welcome Le Ferre into our product line, and excited to present to you their selection of exceptional extra virgin olive oils.

ACETORIUM VINEGAR SAcetorium vinegars are the result of an extraordinary collaboration between esteemed winemaker Joseph Reiterer of Alto Adige and German master vinegar maker Robert Bauer. All Acetorium vinegars are made from fine wines with the best basic ingredients. These fine wines are transformed into vinegars and cask aged for exceptional flavor, body, and acid balance. The result are intensely flavored, harmoniously balanced vinegars that bring vibrancy and freshness to anything from salad dressings to meat dishes to desserts.

L’ ULTIMO FORNO- literally, “The Last Oven”, is a line of artisan foods produced by a dedicated, four-family consortium in the Basilicata city of Matera. As evidenced by trade name, elegant visual aesthetic, and full, extraordinary flavor, each product of the L’Ultimo Forno line exemplifies both unparalleled quality and sense of place.Lucania, the territory in which Matera is located, has long been known as the bread basket of Italy. The unique flavor and structure of Matera bread owes to the character of Lucano grano duro wheat, regarded as one of the world’s finest and purest grain cultivars. For thousands of years this wheat has been cultivated by the same, environmentally respectful principals. It is neither genetically modified (it is non-GMO) nor treated by chemicals of any kind. For tens of centuries Lucano grano duro has then been milled and transformed into bread and other unique products in Matera, a UNESCO- protected site and one of the ten oldest cities in the world.

Gluten-Free Pasta

BIOALIMENTAThe Rotunno family has many years experience in pasta production. Their facility is located in Fara San Martino, on the eastern side of the Maiella National Park in the Abruzzo region of Italy. This small town has become a capital of quality pasta due to the purity of its water and air.In 2002, with father Pietro and son Antonio at the helm, the Rotunno family began production in a newly built, gluten-free facility authorized by the Italian Ministry of Health. Their facility uses traditional techniques, such as bronze-dye extrusion and slow drying, combined with state-of-the-art production methods to create high quality gluten-free products with incredible flavor and texture.

Il Mongetto Mostarda d’uvaMostarda d’uva is a traditional condiment from the Monferrato area of the Piedmont region of Italy. After the harvest season, it was common to glean the small grapes that were left on the vine due to their immaturity and sourness. Once these smaller grapes were pressed, they gave a must that was then reduced by boiling for several hours in a copper pot on the stove or the fireplace. Other fruits such as figs, quince, martin-sec pears, hazelnuts and pumpkin (which were also left behind because they were not ripe at the time of the harvest) were selected and put to boil in the same copper pot.The end result was the “Mostarda d’uva” (Must Chutney), also locally referred to as “Cugna”. This chutney was served with polenta, boiled or cured meats, cheeses and with sorbet. Azienda Agricola Il Mongetto still prepares their delicious condiment according to this traditional recipe.

ADI APICOLTUR A (ABRUZZO)

From their home base in the Abruzzo Region of Italy, ADI’s Iacovanelli family cares for their bees on strictly organic foraging lands. They blend solid traditions with contemporary innovation. Their honeys are harvested only when they are fully mature - when each honey’s flavor, color, aroma, and nutritional content reaches its pinnacle. Their work with mono-varietal honeys, created during peak flowering for each specific crop, has propelled ADI to the national forefront. Now, after nearly 150 years of dedication, the fourth generation of the Iacovanelli family is one of Italy’s most honored honey producers. All ADI organic honeys are raw, unpasteurized, unfiltered, and contain no artificial colors or sweeteners

ACETOR I AAcetorium vinegars are the result of an extraordinary collaboration between esteemed winemaker Joseph Reiterer of Alto Adige and German master vinegar maker Robert Bauer. All Acetorium vinegars are made from fine wines with the best basic ingredients. These fine wines are transformed into vinegars and cask aged for exceptional flavor, body, and acid balance. The result are intensely flavored, harmoniously balanced vinegars that bring vibrancy and freshness to anything from salad dressings to meat dishes to desserts.

ADI APICOLTUR A (ABRUZZO)

From their home base in the Abruzzo Region of Italy, ADI’s Iacovanelli family cares for their bees on strictly organic foraging lands. They blend solid traditions with contemporary innovation. Their honeys are harvested only when they are fully mature - when each honey’s flavor, color, aroma, and nutritional content reaches its pinnacle. Their work with mono-varietal honeys, created during peak flowering for each specific crop, has propelled ADI to the national forefront. Now, after nearly 150 years of dedication, the fourth generation of the Iacovanelli family is one of Italy’s most honored honey producers. All ADI organic honeys are raw, unpasteurized, unfiltered, and contain no artificial colors or sweeteners

Truffle & Salt

Nicola DeLaurentiis and his wife Paola have energized their modest artisan enterprise with a new, up-to-date facility. Their dedication to maintaining a high level of quality, innovation, and aesthetic appeal has won accolades from international and domestic connoisseurs. Be it ‘art-in-a-jar’ instant antipasto, extra virgin olive oil, or their “...& salt” line, everything from Casina Rossa’s kitchen proves to be a sheer delight and an instant best-seller.

COLLI ETRUSCHIColli Etruschi Cooperative near the Etruscan town of Blera, uses state-of-the-art equipment to produce top-quality extra virgin olive oil under the supervision of Agronomist Nicola Fazzi. Their bold and fruity olive oil has won several regional, national, and international awards. This versatile oil adds bold definition to antipasti, pasta and vegetable dishes, and both white and red meat main dishes.

DI CUONZO OF PUGLIAPastificio Bolognese is owned and operated by the DiCuonzo family in the city of Barletta, Puglia, where they make small batches of traditional Pugliese pasta cuts, such as orrecchiette and olive leaf pastas. They also make orrecchiette from farina arsa, or “burnt flour,” a tribute to a little-known Pugliese tradition dating back centuries, where poor gleaners would salvage wheat grains from the burnt fields.

DR . PE SCIANomadic beekeeper, Dr. Paolo Pescia is truly passionate about his bees and the honeys he carefully harvests from them. His unique mono-varietal honeys have a stunning richness, depth of flavor and variety of texture not found in commercially produced mass-market honey. Traveling the Tuscan coast visiting seasonal flowering areas and protected national parks with his hives, Dr. Pescia’s honeys are the purest distillation of the native terroir. Unpasteurized, unfiltered and containing no artificial colors or sweeteners, they are the ultimate treat for honey connoisseurs!

FEUD O DELLE GINE STREFor generations the Giovannelli family has grown wine grapes. Their vineyards, located in the verdant hills paralleling the Adriatic Sea and Abruzzo’s famed Costa dei Trabocchi (“coast of the ancient fishing platforms”), have yielded countless harvests of indigenous Montepulciano and Trebbiano grapes for local winemakers. Young Francesco Giovannelli has steered his family into a different endeavor - that of producing fruit and wine-grape-based conserves from family-grown grapes. The quality of their craft is immediately apparent; one taste is all it takes for inspiration!

FIGULI-TAVOLOZZERITROVO SELECTIONS™ Tavolozze crackers were inspired by a small, family-owned bakery in the region of Veneto. In collaboration with restaurateur Filippo Albertini and Prosecco producer/project manager Gianluca Salamon, we brainstormed, invented, and developed a distinctive new cracker. Tavolozze, or ‘artist’s pallettes’, are made with top-quality wheat flour, malted wheat flour, extra virgin olive oil, and salt. Their wholesome flavor, delightful crispiness, and angular, adaptable shape make Tavalozze perfect for artfully prepared spreads and toppings. These crackers are prebaked in small batches to optimize their crispiness and flavor. RITROVO® also sells Tavolozze infused with “Truffle & Salt”, a subtle and inspiring combination. Our newest products from this line are Quadrì, another light snack cracker, and delicate hand-rolled Grissini.

FIOR DI M AIELL AMirko Di Crescenzo has long partnered with Casina Rossa’s Nicola Delaurentiis in sourcing the highest quality nuts, grains and beans for their RITROVO SELECTIONS™ products.

Gradual air-drying preserves the pasta’s hearty structure, full flavor, and sauce-gripping texture. La Romagna is truly a pasta lover’s pasta.

L A SASSELLE SERITROVO® did years of research to find an artisan amaretto cookie of this caliber, and found it in the interior of Liguria.

The unique flavor and structure of Matera bread owes to the character of Lucano grano duro wheat, regarded as one of the world’s finest and purest grain cultivars. For thousands of years this wheat has been cultivated by the same, environmentally respectful principals. It is neither genetically modified (it is non-GMO) nor treated by chemicals of any kind. For tens of centuries Lucano grano duro has then been milled and transformed into bread and other unique products in Matera, a UNESCO- protected site and one of the ten oldest cities in the world.

MILLER FAR MSAs proud, fourth-generation almond growers in Modesto, California, Kent Miller and family tend their orchards carefully and responsibly. Their almonds are a standard of excellence. Miller carefully roasts his almonds in extra virgin olive oil and then seasons them with “Truffle & Salt” or Piranske Soline Sea Salt. The results are absolutely irresistible. Kent Miller and RITROVO® have formed a delicious collaboration!

PIR ANSK E SOLINEJust half an hour’s drive east-southeast from Trieste in northeastern Italy, the Piran saltpans (Piranske Soline) are situated in a national park and nature preserve of southern Piran, on Slovenia’s Adriatic coast. These saltpans, comprising an interconnected series of shallow, lagoon-like basins, are where the pristine, salt-rich waters of the northern Adriatic are allowed to enter, evaporate, and be hand-harvested. The Piran saltpans are among the longest-functioning artisan saltpans in Europe, providing healthy, flavorful salt for over seven centuries.During our research in Slovenia we found that these salts were magnificent, at every price point. Their sweet flavor derives from high mineral content and low levels of otherwise bitter Sodium Chloride (NaCl). Of special note: Piranske Solines’ highest quality salt, known as ‘Salt Flowers’ (wordplay involving description of the delicate, flower-like structure of each ‘grain’) literally melts into food.

RITROVO SELECTIONS™ BAL SA MIC VINEGAR

• 2009 NASFT Gold Award - Outstanding Vinegar

In Soliera, Province of Modena, in the rich, alluvial zone of Lambrusco di Sorbara, the Maletti family has been producing quality Lambrusco wine for generations.Notwithstanding their success, young Davide Maletti has decided to blaze a new path for his family in producing an excellent six-year Balsamic of Modena from the wine and grape musts of select Lambrusco and Trebbiano varietals.Tasters misjudge this balsamic as being a 10-, 12-, or even a 15-year Balsamic. That isn’t just because it is made from carefully chosen basic ingredients, without additives of any kind, but also because of the closely guarded techniques which govern its aging. The balsamic also undergoes an accelerated yet regulated evaporation in former wine barrels of French Allier oak, resulting in a density and depth of flavor, intense aromaticity, and a clean delicateness of finish that belies its age and price. As one of our surprised Italian customers exclaimed, “... but it ‘drinks like a 10-year!”RITROVO SELECTIONS™ Balsamic complements a range of dishes, from fresh strawberries to salad greens topped with Parmeggiano Reggiano shavings to almost any meat cookery.

STR A MOND OStramondo has been making Sicilian confections for over 70 years. They are dedicated to using organic products from local sources, including locally-sourced pistachios and almonds. Stramondo submits their products to various organic certification committees which monitor the production and sourcing of their products.

In response to our customers’ requests, RITROVO® is proud to be importing two of their most well-known products--Pistachio Creme and Almond Paste (Marzipan)--under the RITROVO® label.

WUWAN WOFor the last decade, WuWanWo’s Giovanna Chen has exported premium Italian food products from Italy to Taiwan. She fell in love with the Piran Salt pans shortly after falling in love with her now-husband Silvio in Trieste. From this was born the idea of exporting Piran sea salt to Taiwan to create a world class soy sauce. RITROVO® has joined forces with Giovanna to create a product according to our “Think Locally, Eat Globally” philosophy - WuWanWo RITROVO® Soy Sauce, the fruit of the combined traditions of Taiwanese soy sauce brewers and Slovenian salt producers.The soy sauce artisans start by dry fermenting the soybeans with spices and brown sugar. Then they pack them into three-foot-tall terra cotta pots with coarse sea salt from the Sečovlje Salina salt pans of Slovenia. The producers then cover the pots and leave them to ferment for 180 days, after which they remove the lids and extract the finished product: WuWanWo RITROVO® Soy Sauce.
