When talking of flavours, in the kitchen or at table, everyone has their own idea. But on one point everyone agrees: quality counts. Products, raw materials, provenance. Nature knows this, and so do we. Ariosto’s offering covers everything that’s needed to give dishes flavour, during preparation or at table. Salt and pepper, precious saffron, and a rich range of over 30 spices and aromatic herbs: from chili to curry, from mint to garlic, from rosemary to anise.
Spices and Aromatic Herbs Line
Who if not Ariosto could have selected the finest herbs and spices for day to day cooking?
From the most frequently used flavours such as garlic, oregano, basil, onion and fennel, to mint, parsley and rosemary. As well as the right spices for every need or recipe: cinnamon, curry, turmeric, paprika, nutmeg, chili pepper and all the other pepper varieties.
A full range in continual evolution.
Macinatric Line
Ariosto presents the new Macinatric range: four jars with integrated grain grinder, for practical use at the table of salt and pepper with the best result in terms of freshness and flavour, as it should be. The range includes two varieties of salt: pink Himalayan and iodized, and two of pepper: classic black pepper and the “Creole” mix, composed of various qualities.
Zafferano Aquila
Ariosto’s Aquila saffron is ideal for making risottos and meat and fish based dishes, and is obtained exclusively from the milling of saffron (Crocus sativus linnaeus) pistils. Its high quality can be seen in the colour, an intense red due to its crocin content. Crocin is the substance that makes saffron such a potent colouring agent. The flowers from which saffron is obtained are picked in autumn (October-November), completely by hand. Around 150,000 flowers are needed to make a kilo of saffron.
A packet of Aquila saffron contains three 130 mg sachets totalling 390 mg.
