Pickles and Oil preserves

A typical Italian pantry cannot run out of pickled vegetables, sweet or sour, and oil preserves. These are all an ideal match for any fish and meat-based dishes. Among the most popular products there's "giardiniera" (pickled vegetables), with its bright colors and crunchiness, and a well-balanced sourness. These vegetables must have the right texture with distinctive colors, taste and aroma.

The real "giardiniera" was born as a humble dish, made from late summer vegetables meant to be consumed in winter, including just a few ingredients: chopped vegetables, salt, vinegar, white wine and sugar. "Giardiniera" is cooked in a few minutes, usually using peppers, carrots, celery and cauliflower with onions and some fennel. Zucchini and squash, as well as peas, mushrooms or eggplant and potatoes, can't miss in a traditional "giardiniera".

Only the best selection of honey for Arcobaleno Food Srl's customers.

Arcobaleno Food Srl has always selected the best honey produced in the traditional way by small local farms. There are so many types of honey available and just in Italy alone there are more than 50 monofloral varieties: those coming from the nectar of a single variety of flower. Among the finest honey are rhododendron, arbutus and lavender honey, while the most popular and widely consumed ones are acacia and chestnut honey.

Depending on the flower, the taste, the texture and properties of honey may change. At Arcobaleno Food Srl you will find honeys suitable for sweetening hot or cold drinks, ideal honeys to be spread on bread or to soothe sore throats and coughs, as well as honeys to pair with cheeses. The advice is to always choose a 100% Italian honey and always check the label regarding sugar and dyes, while the texture should not be liquid.

If you are looking for high quality local products for your pantry, Arcobaleno Food Srl is the one to go for those who are always in search of the real quality made-in-italy.
