BADIA A COLTIBUONO OILS (TUSCANY)
Badia a Coltibuono EVOO –
This is the first Tuscan extra virgin olive oil introduced to the United States almost 33
years ago. Badia a Coltibuono,(Abbey of the Good Harvest),is the single most consistent
producer of authentic extra virgin olive oil in Italy and is widely considered by chefs, food
critics, consumers and media as the super-premium extra virgin olive oil by which all
others are judged. This classic Tuscan extra virgin olive oil has been produced since
1058!
It is a golden yellow with hearty green nuances. It has a balanced fruity flavor with a hint
of toasted nuts. The oil is full flavored with an intense aroma of fresh olives. The distinct
peppery sensation produced at the back of your throat on the oil‘s finish is an attribute of
oil whose olive harvest was young and fresh.
This oil is perfect for dressing salads, vegetables, pasta, potatoes, soup and bread. Also
use for garnishing dishes that call for drizzling with olio crudo (literally raw oil). The
acidity level, harvest and release dates are on each label to guarantee freshness.
FINALIST “OUTSTANDING CLASSIC" 1999-2000 FANCY FOOD SHOWS
Albereto Unfiltered 100% Organic EVOO – Produced by Badia a Coltibuono, this extraordinarily rich,
full flavored artisan oil is produced in limited quantities from the highest groves on the Coltibuono
estate. Albereto is produced from several varieties of olives, principally Frantoio, Pendolino and
Leccino, with smaller quantities of Moraiolo and Maurino. It has a deep emerald green hue and is left
deliberately unfiltered so to achieve full expression of the oil‘s aroma and flavor. Handmade from the
early harvest olives which are pressed immediately, it has a distinct, peppery aftertaste and vibrant
green color. Its low peroxide content deters rancidity and is associated with high levels of vitamin E, A
and K. Albereto is best savored alone, on bread, or drizzled over soups, pasta and beans.

Campo Corto Unfiltered 100% Organic EVOO – Produced by Badia a Coltibuono, this unfiltered oil
is produced entirely from Frantoio olives, the estate's most pungent and long-lived variety. The olive
trees used in Campo Corto are protected by the ancient Coltibuono woodlands in a completely clean
environment. It is the result of many years of research into olive varieties that have been traditionally
grown in the Chianti region for the production of high quality EVOO. Campo Corto pairs well with
exotic vegetables, flavorful bread, roasts, game and mushrooms.

COLONNA (MOLISE ITALY)
The Colonna oils are produced by Principessa Marina Colonna. Her estate is in San Martino,
in Pensilis, in southeastern Italy‘s unspoiled Molise region on the Adriatic coast. A family
property for over 200 years, Colonna is well known for its EVOO as well as special blends that
are pressed with fragrant organic lemons, oranges, bergamots and tangerines. The family‘s
140 acres of olive groves cultivate 22 varieties of olives including Coratina, Leccino and
Gentile.
Manually harvested on the estate when slightly under ripe, Colonna olives are processed then milled on the same
day. Each olive variety is harvested, processed, milled and cold pressed separately to ensure quality. The oils are
then expertly blended and bottled in dark, glass decanters unique to Colonna. It is then labeled and sealed by
hand. The seal bears the family‘s red coat of arms—one of the most widely recognized symbols of medieval
Rome. In contrast to robust Tuscan oils, the oils of Southern Italy are characterized by warm olive aromas and
lightness.
COLONNA UNFILTERED EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
Bright and clear with the harmonious aroma of green tomatoes, apples and olives, Colonna EVOO tastes grassy
and light with a hint of pepper at the finish. It is perfect with pasta, salad, fish, vegetables and other light dishes.
COLONNA CITRUS OILS
Colonna EVOO W/ Lemon—This unique oil is prepared by
simultaneously crushing fresh organic lemons with early
harvest olives. It‘s golden yellow in color with emerald green
undertones and has a slightly fruity, balanced taste
accented with the flavor of fresh lemon peels. It is delicious
as a marinade for seafood or drizzled on cured meats such
as bresaola. It complements beautifully boiled or steamed
vegetables and will impart a lovely freshness to pasta
sauces.
Colonna EVOO W/ Tangerines – This beautiful oil is prepared by crushing chopped fresh organic tangerines with
early harvest farm olives.

Golden yellow in color with jade green undertones, this oil is well balanced and lightly fruity, accented by the fresh
flavor of mandarin orange peels. It is the ideal marinade for fish and a great addition to any salad dressing. It also
works beautifully with cakes and biscuits in place of butter.
Colonna Bergamia EVOO – Made with the zest of organic Calabrian bergamots, a cross between the pear lemon
and the Seville orange, this oil is prepared by simultaneously crushing fresh organic bergamots with early harvest
olives. Golden yellow in color with grass green undertones, this oil has a unique flowery citrus taste. It is a
delightful accompaniment to seafood and is a wonderful addition to dressings, cooked vegetables and pastas. Its
fragrance also enhances the aroma of desserts and biscuits.

DE MEDICI GASTRONOMIA TRUFFLE OIL (LIGURIA, ITALY)
De Medici Gastronomia Truffle Oil – Made from premium extra virgin olive oil, this quality truffle oil
achieves its flavor by balancing the white truffle infusion with the delicate flavor of Ligurian EVOO.
Whereas, most truffle oils are made with less expensive Umbrian oil, resulting in a heavy truffle aroma
but with little flavor, De Medici‘s unearths white truffles near the oldest oak trees then the most aromatic
are steeped in Ligurian EVOO for 24 days. A small quantity of natural truffle essence is then added to
perfect the balance of flavor. The result is an EVOO rich with the pungent, woodsy aroma of white
truffles. Sublime drizzled over pasta, risotto, eggs, potatoes even popcorn.

RAVIDA EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL (SICILY, ITALY)
Produced on the Ravida family farm ―La Gurra‖ in Sicily, this multi award-winning extra virgin
olive oil has been praised around the world. It‘s grassy, new mown hay flavor is the result of
blending three local olive varieties picked from the estate‘s 300 year-old trees which are then
pressed within eight hours of harvesting. Nocellara olives lend a slightly fruity flavor;
Carasuola olives give the oil a tasty and full-bodied flavor, while light green Brancolilla give
the oil its distinctive color and fragrance. The oil is left unfiltered and has a markedly low
acidity level of .010 – one-tenth of 1%. The Ravida family uses their namesake oil in
everything from meat and fish preparation to seasoning vegetables, salads, risotto, and
pasta and on a slice of warm bread with a dash of RAVIDA sea salt. This oil is certified
Kosher.

TENUTA DEL NUMEROUNO EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL (TUSCANY)
Tenuta del Numerouno EVOO (Tuscany) – From southwestern Tuscany comes this wonderful find
from the estate of Countess Romana Bicocchi Pichi. Nestled in rolling hills above the sea and
privileged by the mild marine climate, the Numerouno Estate is ideal for olive cultivation.
Numerouno‘s first cold pressed EVOO is produced from olives grown entirely at the Bicocchi estate,
from Frantoio di Leccino to Maraiolo and Pendaglino. The mature olives are harvested entirely by
hand then cold pressed one time only by the old traditional method in mills on the property. Naturally
low in acidity, Numerouno is exceptionally dense but at the same time has a softer, pleasing taste that
is more compatible with other flavors making it highly prized by chefs. It is left unfiltered to preserve its
character then bottled in dark, protective glass. Numerouno has been featured in America‘s leading
restaurants and specialty markets.
WINE & FOOD COMPANION CALLED IT "A REAL CONNOISSEUR'S OIL;
SUBTLE AND COMPLEX, A SUPERB FULL/ELEGANT BALANCING ACT."

EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OILS FROM SPAIN
VEA: LERIDA & L’ESTORNELL EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OILS (CATALONIA, SPAIN)
For Generations, the name Vea has stood for the highest standards of quality in the cultivation of olives and the
pressing of extra-virgin olive oils. Senor Avelino Vea, who
now runs the family business, has maintained and
elevated those standards by introducing the latest
production techniques.
He has also deliberately
preserved the traditional methods of cultivation and
blending, as well as the integrity of the oils that bear the
Vea family name. As a result, Vea has earned recognition
among the world's most discerning chefs and
restaurateurs who value the oil for its fine and subtle flavor
& consistency.
L'Estornell Extra Virgin Olive Oil– L’Estornell, a Catalan word for a type of bird that likes olives
and comes to ―help‖ during harvest, proudly adorns their label. This elegant EVOO is made from
hand-picked, cold-pressed olives which come from the surrounding community just outside the
village of Sarocca de Lerida, near Barcelona in Catalonia. The Arbequina olive is the core olive in
this oil--the most widely found variety in Catalonia. L'Estornell EVOO consists only of extra-virgin
oils, personally selected and blended by Avelino Veá, to create an oil of exceptional fragrance
and delicacy, suitable for dressing salads and for those special occasion meals.
Every bottle is vintage-dated.
L'Estornell Organic EVOO – This delicious and organic EVOO is produced from
100% Arbequina olives from the Vea estate as well as the estates of eleven growers in the Sarocca
de Lerida region. All product origins are controlled and certified by the CCPAE – Catalan Council of
the Organic Production – under the EEC standards. Each farmer gets the certification three years
after they begin cultivating olives in an organic manner. The region‘s climate is ideal for organic
farming of Arbequina olive trees. During the winter, temperatures are very low, falling between –5
and –7 degrees. There is also an immense amount of fog. These two factors cause a layer of frost
to form on the olives that helps to eliminate insects as well as maintain the temperature of the
olives at no less than 0 degrees. This naturally occurring event controls the number of insects
ensuring that they do not adversely affect the olive harvest. Conversely,
the summer is hot and dry.
Lerida EVOO -- Acclaimed Master Taster Avelino Vea produces these
oils from choice olive varieties, primarily Arbequina from northern Spain's Catalan
Region. Lerida gains its ardent taste from under-ripe Arbequina olives. The cultivation
process has remained organic and the harvest is reaped by hand daily to ensure that the
olives are not bruised in the process, thereby eliminating any adverse effects to the oil‘s
quality. Lérida EVOO is derived from the first extraction process of the select Arbequina
olives. Fruity and relatively green, Lerida has hints of almond flavor and has a buttery,
delicate flavor and aroma. It is renowned for these qualities.

061410PB
Les Costes Estate Oil – This property, bought by Don Domingo Vea Santclement in
1942, was home to approximately 350 Arbequina olive trees. Over the years, the family
purchased more acreage from adjacent estates and now has over 3,250 Arbequina olive
trees! The average Arbequina olive tree on the Les Costes estate is 200 years old. As
a result of increased age, productivity is reduced by about 20 kilos per tree. The regions
lack of rain further reduces the estate‘s harvest. Les Costes is known to be difficult to
access and farming is therefore complicated. The end result is well worth it! The
regions soil is incredibly rich in minerals making Les Costes Estate Oil a truly
outstanding liquid gem.
Vea Extra Virgin Coffee Oil – A mixture of EVOO and virgin coffee oil
obtained from hand-selected, roasted, Arabic beans from the prestigious area of Antigua in
Guatemala. This oil is truly one of a kind. Arbequina EVOO blends seamlessly with the coffee oil
due to its fresh, fruity flavor. Upon opening, the intoxicating aroma of freshly ground coffee,
walnuts, almonds and spices perfumes the air. The taste is even more surprising! The rich
texture of olive oil combined with the taste of fresh cut grass blends seamlessly with the rich
flavor of perfectly roasted fresh coffee. As the flavor of coffee slowly disappears, you‘re left with
the spicy sensations of wood, but smooth and persistent, like a good espresso.

MARQUES DE GRINON (SPAIN)
Marques De Grinon EVOO – From the Carlos Falco family farm near Toledo, Spain, this exquisite
EVOO is the newest addition to De Medici Imports. Its aromas are exceptionally vivid and intense
with reminiscences of green tomatoes, freshly mowed grass, artichoke and green almonds. On the
palate it exhibits beautifully concentrated vegetable and nutty aromas. Its finish is pleasantly spicy
and persistent. It is estate bottled in dark Bordeaux style glass like those of the family‘s world class
wines. The oil is made predominantly from Picual olives and is custom blended with Arbequina and
Manzanilla. It adds refinement and flavor when drizzled over roasted vegetables, cured meats and
grilled fish. It‘s also excellent for tossing with pasta and salads or simply dipping a piece of wonderful
crusty bread.
NOTE: Carlos Falcó y Fernandez de Cordova is considered one of the great visionaries of the wine
industry in 20th Century Spain. This fame rests with his innovations on his family‘s estate outside of Toledo. It is
with the same zeal that they produce this fine olive oil. Look for opportunities to cross market these wines with the
oils.

SHOW - GOLD Sofi AWARD -as "OUTSTANDING PRODUCT
LINE"
CASTELAS EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL (LE BEAUX, FRANCE)
Innovation comes infrequently in Provencal EVOO, but Castelas, produced by Catherine and JeanBenoit Hugues in La Vallee des Baux, moved back to their native Provence from Arizona to follow their
dream of making olive oil. Produced in the heart of Provence, in the sun-drenched foothills of Les
Alpilles, Salonenque, Aglandau, Grossane and Verdale olives are hand harvested. After each variety is
picked, it is pressed separately, when each is at the peak of its flavor. Hugues then blends the individual
oils in exact proportions to create his signature style and flavor. To ensure optimum flavor, Castelas
EVOO is pressed within 24 hours of picking and only lightly filtered. It has a nose of freshly cut grass
and green olive fruitiness. On the palate it offers long-lasting flavors of raw artichoke and sweet almonds.
It has a subtly elegant and extremely fresh character. On the finish, the oil has a slightly peppery, bitter
edge, a sign that the olives were perfectly ripe when picked.
This is truly a gastronomic wonder that will brighten up your cooking! Its full appeal can be savored
when used to dress dishes such as fish, steamed vegetables and salads. It also works well in marinades
and pairs beautifully with raw prepared artichokes.

EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL FROM THE USA
OLIO SANTO EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL (USA)
Olio Santo EVOO – An ancient term meaning ―Oil of the Saints,‖ that dates back to a time when the
purest oil from the first press of the olive was allocated to the church for use in religious ceremonies.
Today, Olio Santo still only bottles the first cold press of the harvest. Each batch is later blended in
quantities to insure consistent quality, flavor, and freshness. You can even enjoy it on its own with a
fresh baguette! In fact, Olio Santo is so versatile that Ina Garten, The Barefoot Contessa, chose it as
one of the seven staple ingredients every home chef should have in their pantry. Each bottle is harvest
dated so you can be assured of the freshest possible oil.

BALSAMIC VINEGARS
TRADITIONAL BALSAMIC VINEGAR & BALSAMIC CONDIMENT FROM ITALY
Balsamic vinegar is manufactured from the juice of crushed white grapes, typically,
trebbiano grapes. The grapes are slowly reduced to create a concentrated must,
which is then fermented in a slow aging process that concentrates the flavors. The
flavors develop and intensify over the course of time while the vinegar is stored in
wooden casks. The end result is sweet, viscous and concentrated.
Balsamic vinegar is classified in two categories:
Industriale also called
Condimento, and Tradizionale. Tradizionale, the finest balsamic vinegar, is
labor-intensive to produce. To receive this designation, by Italian law, the vinegar must be produced from 100%
pressed grape juice--called ―must‖ – that is cooked down, then aged in a series of special casks for no less than
twelve years. Only two consortiums produce true balsamic vinegar, Modena and Reggio Emilia.
15
061410PB
Modena (Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena) designates balsamic vinegars age by label color. Reggio
Emilia (Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale de Reggio Emilia) uses a similar system to indicate the age of its balsamics.
A white label means the vinegar has aged for at least 12 years and a gold label bearing the designation
―extravecchio‖ indicates that the vinegar has aged for 25 years or more. In addition to Tradizionale, most
companies produce a less expensive, but high quality vinegar, called Industriale or Condimento that is the same
vinegar but not aged as long.
De Medici is proud to offer the most extensive selection of authentic and delicious balsamic vinegars available in
the United States under one company. They have been meticulously selected during numerous trips to both
Modena and Reggio Emilia. De Medici carries three brands of Tradizionale approved by the Consortiums of
Reggio Emilia & Modena. They are Cavalli, Del Cristo and Villa Manodori.
CAVALLI (REGGIO EMILIA, ITALY)
Cavalli Balsamic is produced by the Cavalli brothers, preeminent in Reggio Emilia. They are the sons of
Ferdinando Cavalli, the legendary founder of the provincial Consortium. Giovanni Cavalli, one of the greatest
producers of Tradizionale in Reggio Emilia, resigned
from the Consortium in order
to independently produce
Balsamic of Reggio Emilia
according
to
his
own
EXACTING, HIGH standards.
Although his father founded
the Consortium, Giovanni
believed that he must be free
of
the
Consortium's
constraints to achieve his
vision of excellence.
The
Cavalli
name
and
reputation assures the highest standard of quality.
By law, this vinegar must be aged in wood casks of
oak, cherry, mulberry, chestnut or juniper. Two
basic levels of quality have been established --Silver
Seal and Gold Seal. In Reggio Emilia, the Silver
Seal represents balsamics aged a minimum of 12 years and the Gold Seal 25 years. However, these are
minimums and do not reflect the true age of many of Cavalli‘s balsamics which can reach up to 300 years old.
CAVALLI BALSAMIC VINEGARS (TRADIZIONALE), REGGIO EMILIA
Cavalli Silver Seal Balsamic
Silver Seal has a strong, sweet fragrance with thick, rich acidity and an intense bouquet. Bottles are numbered
and come boxed with an informative booklet containing the company‘s history and recipes. Each bottle contains
100 ml. of Silver Label by Cavalli from Reggio Emilia, Italy. This balsamic is the beneficiary of Cavalli‘s 300 year
old stocks. Plummy sweetness, cordovan color and delicate balance render this balsamic the leader in its
category.
GOLD TROPHY WINNER "OUTSTANDING CLASSIC" 1995 FANCY

The Gold Seal Cavalli Balsamic
An extraordinarily complex and rich balsamic with harmonious fragrances, more sweet than
sour, with persuasive structure, it is dense, suave and persistent. It is splendid drizzled over
savory and spicy cheeses, strawberries, cherries, pastry cream and ice cream. It also
makes the perfect ending to a meal, sipped from a spoon or glass. Each bottle contains 100

comes boxed with an informative booklet containing the company‘s history and recipes.

Cavalli Condiment Balsamic Of Reggio Emilia
(Balsamic Condiment Seasoning) Based on the Tradizionale Reggio Emilia style, it is aged in wood and has a
dense, aromatic, plummy sweetness considered to be slightly sweeter on the finish than Modenese balsamico. It
is consistently rated as the best alternative to precious tradizionale
balsamics. Cavalli's Classic Balsamico aged for 3 years in 50 liter barrels
has Acidity of 6.0 - 6.50 % with a density of 1.25 g/ml.
THE GOLD TROPHY WINNER “OUTSTANDING
CLASSIC” 1995 FANCY FOOD SHOW
Cavalli Riserva Nando Balsamic of Reggio Emilia (Balsamic
Condimento)
Riserva Nando, named after Ferdinando Cavalli, is the condimento
balsamico that the late Nando Cavalli kept for his personal use. The
antique mulberry and juniper barrels that Nando collected in the late
1920‘s have imparted this product with silky smooth richness, like rare
port, with a deep prune-like color. Cavalli Riserva Nando is of a higher
caliber than most condimento balsamico due to the fact that it is aged
longer in small casks, resulting in a finer, more intense flavor. It is an
excellent addition to marinades, mayonnaise, gravies and salads. Riserva
Nando is aged for 5 years in chestnut and mulberry barrels and has an acidity rating of 6.5-7.0 % with a density of
1.32 g/ml.
New Cavalli: Soft and Fruity Balsamico (Morbido & Fruttato)
Cavalli Soft and Fruity Balsamico is the newest member of Cavalli Balsamics. With this new product, Giovanni
Cavalli, our producer from Reggio Emilia with a renown reputation for quality, now provides the consumer three
balsamics-- all of which provide a different profile within this category. Morbido & Fruttato made a stunning debut
at the Summer Fancy Food Show in 2009.
Cavalli balsamico has been acclaimed for its perfect balance of sweet and sour. Soft and Fruity, like Cavalli
Balsamico and Riserva Nando, is produced solely from the same cooked grape must of Trebbiano grapes without
any other added ingredients but Soft and Fruity is for those who prefer a sweeter taste in their balsamico--less
acidic and softer. This taste was not available among balsamicos until now.
Soft and Fruity brings forward the luscious sweetness of the select Trebbiano grape must. To create this product,
the process is only somewhat different from production of Cavalli's other balsamics. The process starts out just
like that of Cavalli balsamic "Classico", but in the middle of production it is topped off with younger fermented
cooked must, and further aged in smaller 5 liter traditional wood barrels for 3 months making it a total of 15
months. This refilling reduces acidity and increases the sweet-fruity flavor. Aged in wood, it has a dense, aromatic,
plummy sweetness considered to be slightly sweeter on the finish than Modenese balsamico. This product is
younger, fruitier and less acetic than Cavalli Balsamic Condimento. The Acidity ranges from 5.0 - 5.5 % while the
density is 1.18 g/ml.
Use this product as you would any Cavalli Balsamic, but to your personal taste, whenever a fruitier flavor is
desired. The subtle differences afford a wide variety of new experiences for the informed user of balsamic
vinegars. Delicious sprinkled on lamb, drizzled on fresh berries, or whisked with extra virgin olive oil for salad
dressing.

DEL CRISTO (MODENA, ITALY)
Del Cristo Specialized Traditional Balsamicos of Modena (Tradizionale)
For several decades the Barbieri Family has been passionately dedicated to the ancient values and traditions
handed down for generations. The "Acetaia del Cristo" is a small farm situated north of Modena in Italy. The
Barbieri Family starts the production of the worldwide famous TRADITIONAL Balsamic Vinegar of Modena from
their own biologically grown grapes. Their values and traditions make "Balsamico Tradizionale" a reality and
famous for its high quality. The grapes utilized are Trebbiano and Lambrusco grapes only. The Del Cristo
Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena (DOP) is produced by the family from maturing this grape must over a
long and slow vinegarization process through natural fermentation.
This is followed by progressive concentration by ageing in a series of casks made from different types of wood and
without the addition of any other spices or flavorings. The vinegar‘s fluid yet syrup- like consistency is
complemented by its rich, dark brown color full of warm light. Its flavor is distinctly complex, sharp, and
unmistakably, but pleasantly, acidic.
Del Cristo formerly produced only two certified Traditional Balsamic Vinegars:
White Seal which is aged a minimum of 12 years and Extra Vecchio which is aged a minimum of 25 years. They
recently introduced two new Traditional Balsamic Vinegars that were previously reserved for the family‘s private
use. Both are White Seal balsamic vinegars aged for 12 years in either cherry or rare juniper wood.
Traditional Cherry Balsamic is syrupy and smooth, like traditional White Seal, only with the elevated sweetness
of taste and aroma that the wood imparts.
Traditional Juniper Balsamic is also syrupy and smooth, like traditional White Seal, only with traces of resin from
the wood that give it its characteristic body and spice-like flavor. This white seal tradizionale balsamic vinegar is
aged for 12 years in rare juniper wood barrels that impart a greater depth of flavor that has wonderful spice notes.

glaze for game, pork and duck. It also imparts beautiful flavor when added to sauces or
drizzled over grilled radicchio, endive, peppers or tomatoes. Its sweetness complements
beautifully desserts like ice cream, crème brulee and fruit salad.

by Italy‘s ICEA, this balsamico has been produced through a process unique to
Villa Manodori. Its intense aroma and harmonious taste was created without the
benefit of wood-barrel aging. Organically grown Trebbiano grapes reduced into must and artful
blending with vinegar from organic Chianti grapes has rendered a complementary organic companion
to the Villa Manodori Artigianale balsamico. This nonfiltered organic balsamico has unique rustic flavor
and texture.

FRENCH WINE & FRUIT VINEGARS
MARTIN POURET WINE VINEGARS (ORLEANS)
The Orleans process, as it has long been called in France and other
parts of the world, is just the old way of letting wine ferment slowly into
vinegar inside partly filled barrels. Slow, old fashioned methods do not
fit easily into modern economy but Jean Francois Martin, 6th
generation, is convinced that the company has survived solely
because of the merits of the product.
Maison Martin Pouret, founded in 1797, produces French vinegar
using the traditional Orleans slow process. It is a Cabernet Franc
based wine vinegar that solely uses grapes from the Bordeaux and
Loire Valleys. The wine is fermented, and then aged in oak casks. At the end of this process, exquisite Orleans
wine vinegar is born, retaining the full flavor and deep bouquet of the original wine. The richness of these vinegars
is balanced by its naturally high acidity.
NEW FOUR-BERRY FRUIT VINEGAR…A lovely blend of white wine vinegar, raspberry juice, black currant
juice, billberry juice and red currant juice.

KIMBERLEY WINE VINEGARS FROM CALIFORNIA
Kimberley, the only American producer of authentic Orleans process wine vinegars, is
yielded from premium California varietal wines and aged six months in oak. Kimberley's
methods preserve varietal wine character and result in a robustness and depth of flavor
lacking in many brands. Kimberley Wine Vinegar is made with the traditional French
method D‘ Orleans, using small, ventilated oak barrels partially filled with either
organically or conventionally produced wine. They slowly introduce their special vinegar
culture which over many months converts the wine into full-figured vinegar. No
preservatives are added to the vinegar, nor are they pasteurized. Pasteurization is a
common practice that increases shelf life but degrades subtle flavor characteristics. Rich
wonderful hints of robust wine mixed with acidity complement each batch of handcrafted vinegar.

ORTIZ (CONSERVAS) --ANCHOVIES, TUNA & GOURMET SPECIALTIES
(SPAIN)
In 1891, Bernardo Ortiz de Zarate founded in Vizcaya (Spain)
Conservas Ortiz. Since then a total of 5 generations have
overseen the family business and contrinued to advance the
artisanal and traditional fishing and processing techniques of Bernardo. From the
beginning, Ortiz has dedicated themselves to the preparation of the highest quality
canned seafood. Today the Conservas Ortiz label is one of the most recognized
labels in the world for tuna, anchovies and other related speciatly canned fish. The
high quality of our products is internationally acknowledged and are represented by
over 40 Countries.
Preserving the world's fisheries is one of today‘s major environmental problems and
Ortiz remains very concerned about the future of their fish stocks, as well as
regeneration of the species they catch. Live bait and trolling techniques to catch white tuna and using "purse seine
nets" for catching anchovies support the environment. Working using only artisanal methods, Ortiz takes
particular care to preserve the art of fishing, the origin and the freshness of the fish.
De Medici has searched for a line of fishes for many years and we are very proud to be welcomed into the Ortiz
family and welcome them to ours. De Medici prides itself in developing the original brands of our producers and
coule not find a better brand to persue than Ortiz.
Today, De Medici's line of Ortiz products consists of Anchoveys, White Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna and boquerones
(white Anchovies)

Anchovies Traditional Fillets (Anchovies require Refrigerated Storage & Handling)
The anchovy of the species ―engraulis encrasicholus‖ is the most sought after in
the world. Prepared with painstaking respect for tradition, the fillets have
compact flesh and an intense taste, making them an exquisite delicacy. Caught
close to the coast in the spring using traditional fishing tackle. They are classified,
salted and then kept until they reach perfect maturity. Once the anchovies are
properly preserved, they are either packaged whole in saltwater, or hand fileted
one by one and packaged in olive oil.
White Tuna--Bonita Del Norte (Beauty of the North)
White Tuna is found in coastal waters of the Bay of Biscay during the
summer season. It has an exquisite flavour and delicate texture Ortiz
white tuna is fished during summertime using artisanal fishing
techniques. Each tuna is individually line caught and not netted. They
are fully dolphin safe. This variety is known for its exceptionally
smooth texture and its rich tuna flavor. Bonita del Norte is prepared in
a variety of ways. See product offering below.
Yellowfin Tuna (Atun Claro)
The Yellowfin Tuna (Yellowfin tuna) originates from the tropical waters. To achieve the best result
Ortiz uses only fish that weigh less than 30Kg. These are wonderful cuts of Yellowfin tuna loins
packed in olive oil. The flesh of this fish is delicious, juicy and has an impressive consistency.
Boquerones (White Anchovies
Fresh from the Cantabrian Sea, these famous white anchovies are
lightly cured in a brine of sea salt, white wine vinegar, and garlic.
Unlike most other anchovies, boquerones are neither excessively fishy
nor salty, making them ideal for eating as a snack or tapas. They are
renowned for their delicate flavor and best served with crusty bread
and olives. On top of their wonderful flavor, boquerones are an
excellent source of Omega 3 oils.
Ortiz - Piquillo Peppers
A Spanish delicacy (piquillo peppers) only gets better when stuffed with Ortiz white tuna and covered with a small
amount of tomato sauce. The char-grilled ―piquillo‖ peppers are perfect either on their own or to complement
another dish. Great as an appetizer, for a "tapas" party of just out of the tin anytime.

the strict supervision of the family. The rice is natural and does not
undergo any chemical treatment. This superb rice is certified
Kosher star K. Quality rice has the following properties:
It absorbs well the liquid condiment.
Each grain remains consistent.
It is not sticky.

The cooking time is approximately 16 minutes.
Vialone Nano Semifino
The traditional rice of the Mantua and Vento regions, it is a round, half-long grain, with a central, wide pearl. It

BENEDETTO CAVALIERI ―DELICATE METHOD‖ SEMOLINA PASTA (ITALY)
Pastificio Benedetto Cavalieri was established in 1918 near
Lecce in Apulia, Italy. Today, the fifth generation of the
Cavalieri family continues to run the business with the
same devotion and wholesome ingredients.
The durum wheat still grows on the southern exposed
hillside which results in low yields but consistently high
quality. ―Delicate methods‖ of production are then
employed and grain characteristics are enhanced,
carbohydrates and vegetable proteins are preserved,
guaranteeing the pasta is more nutritious.
Artisan pasta is by far tastier than mass produced pasta. The use of better ingredients and a slower hands-on
process gives it a better texture that is conducive to holding sauce. Packaged in cello bags with a colorful blue
sleeve, the color and texture of Cavalieri‘s pasta is highlighted. Accurate cooking times and recipes are listed on
the sleeve as well. There are 10 one-pound packages per case.
CAVALIERI SEMOLINA PASTA WAS A FINALIST FOR “BEST PASTA” IN THE 2001 AND

OLIVES & CAPERBERRIES
L'ESTORNELL OLIVES & WILD CAPERBERRIES
For Generations, the name Vea has stood for the very highest standards of quality
in the cultivation of olives and the pressing of fine extra-virgin olive oils. Now under
their L‘Estornell brand is a selection of fine olives and wild caper berries. These
gourmet treats are available in beautifully packaged 12 ounce jars.
L'Estornell Olives – Three of the best olive varieties from Spain‘s premier olive oil
producing regions are represented under the L'Estornell brand. Arbequina olives
from Catalonia, Farga Aragón olives from Aragon and Manzanilla olives from
Andalusia are carefully selected from the tree and placed in water and salt for a
minimum of three months. Finally, they are rinsed and bottled with fresh water, salt
and aromatic wild herbs. NOTE: An effervescent reaction may occur when opening. This reaction is normal since
the olives are completely natural, meaning, no preservatives or chemical are used.
L'Estornell Caperberries – These caper berries grow wild in the sun-drenched mountains of the VEA estate.
Once selected, they are placed in rock salt for a minimum of three months. Before bottling, the salt is removed by
rinsing the caper berries several times in fresh water.
They are then bottled in their softened state in white vinegar with no additives or preservatives. Capers can be
enjoyed with purées, sauces, sautés and dressings, even as a topping for pizza! They
are also an elegant garnish to your Martinis and Bloody Marys.

GOURMET SEA SALTS
FRANCE
ESPRIT DU SEL SEA SALTS
On the historic island of Re on the Atlantic coast of France, naturally
intense and flavorful salt has been hand-harvested from the sea since the
seventh century. Esprit du Sel sea salts are harvested from the same
unpolluted waters, a major source of the delicious shellfish that so many
Americans marvel at when in France.
These sea salts taste like the sea they came from and contain iron,
magnesium, calcium, potassium, manganese, zinc and iodine. Due to their superior flavor and health benefits,
these sea salts are favored by culinary professionals.
Fleur de Sel Sea Salts – Literally "the Flower of Salt", it is made from the finest white salt skimmed
from the thin surface layer of the salt pans in summer and known as the crème de la crème
of French sea salts. When piled up, it blooms, developing a pink tinge and the aroma of
violets. It looks like tiny snowflakes and is deeply salty. Use it as a condiment for dipping
with raw vegetables or sprinkling on steak and fish.
Grey Salt ("Sel Gris")—Grey sea salt is harvested from the bottom of the salt bays. Its
color comes from the high clay content in the earth and is not treated or washed like commercial salt. It
has a very high mineral content and its crystals are comparatively large with a flavorful aroma and taste
reminiscent of the sea.
Aromatic Sea Salts – Coveted grey sea salt is combined with delicious herbs and seaweed in this tasty blend.
Use it to season cooking water or to give extra flavor to prepared foods. 6.63 Oz. jars are available in the following
flavors: Sea Salt with Seaweed for fish, Sea Salt with Herbs de Provence for grilling, Sea Salt with Fennel & Garlic
for seafood, and Sea Salt with Red Pepper & Coriander for lamb and game.

RAVIDA SICILIAN SEA SALT (ITALY)
RAVIDA Sea Salt comes from the low waters of the Mediterranean Sea
along the western coast of Sicily. Salt pans are filled with seawater in
the spring and left to evaporate under the intense heat of the Sicilian sun
and strong African winds. Harvesting takes place once the water has
evaporated. The salt is piled into small heaps inside salt pans and then
placed into larger piles along the edge where they are protected from the
rain by clay tiles. It is then crushed and ground without further refining.
It is a natural, untreated salt, made by traditional methods and is rich in minerals such as iodine, fluorine,
magnesium and potassium. It has beautiful white grains with intense flavor and subtle sweetness that make it the
ideal table salt.

SPAIN
FLOR DEL DELTA (CATALONIA, SPAIN)
A collaboration of tastes and textures from 3-Star Michelin Chef Joan Roca and Spain's
finest natural flower of sea salts
Set within the Ebro River Delta Nature Reserve in Spain are the
Trinidad Salt Pans which are the only sea-salt pans in the Catalonia
region. Here in this natural preserve, INFOSA, a company committed

harvests the natural fleur de sel which is cultivated from 300 pools
found in the traditional salt marshes. This Mediterranean flower of salt,
Flor del Delta, is natural, fragile and delicate.
With the aim to offer a range of innovative flavors, the company sought

three Michelin stars and ranked fourth-best restaurant by Restaurant
Magazine (http://www.theworlds50best.com/awards/1-50-winners), Joan has succeeded in conveying to our flower
of salt a sample of his culinary expertise.
Landscapes, emotions, memory and sensory experiences are all key elements in the creation of the dishes from
Chef Roca that aim to produce new states of mind through delicate combinations of carefully selected ingredients.
The result is a masterful collection under the brand name FLOR DEL DELTA of textures and tastes conceived to
enrich those of the foods themselves, both in their natural state and prepared.

SPANISH SAFFRON & SMOKED PAPRIKA
SAFINTER LA MANCHA SAFFRON (SPAIN)
Safinter S.A, one of the world‘s oldest and largest producers of Spanish saffron, only harvest Saffron
from the La Mancha region of Spain, renowned for its quality Saffron. Saffron, the dried stigma of the
Crocus Sativus plant, is the world‘s most precious spice, owing to the fact that it takes 160,000
flowers to produce 1 kg.
Safinter follows ISO -3632 standards in its gardening technique and quality control. The saffron flower
must be handpicked at dawn when it is in bloom. Saffron is only in bloom from 15 to 20 days of the
year, usually during the end of October. The flowers are collected in baskets and transported to the
village, where the precious stigmas are removed by hand.
Many people, even professionals, find it difficult to distinguish good quality saffron from bad. One of the most
marked indicators of quality saffron is its depth of color & flavor when cooking.
General guidelines for judging the quality of Saffron before purchasing it are to look for the following:
Genuine La Mancha Saffron filaments should be joined in three‘s at the base, they should be between two and four
cm. long and their color should be a vibrant, bright red, never dark. When the label reads Safinter S.A, even the
most discerning buyers can be assured that the highest quality of saffron is guaranteed.
SAFINTER SMOKED PAPRIKA ―DENOMINATION OF ORIGIN" (SPAIN)
The cultivation of red pepper for Pimenton was first introduced in the La Vera
region of Spain in the XVI Century by monks. Pimenton de La Vera‘s exquisite
flavor is due to the unique process by which is it made. La Vera Paprika (D.O.) is
one of the most exclusive spices in the world, due to its unmistakable aroma and
flavor. It is prepared from the dry pulp of the Ocales and Jaranda peppers grown
in La Vera region, West of Spain.
The secret of its excellence lies in the laborious and delicate process by which it
is dried. A hearth filled with Holm oak wood is kept burning until the fruits become
perfectly dehydrated. It is a slow process that takes between ten and fifteen
days to complete. Experts turn each pepper by hand until dry perfection is
achieved.
This traditional system of drying gives the paprika its three fundamental characteristics: Balanced aroma, flavor
and stability of color. Safinter smoked paprika is available in three flavors: sweet, bittersweet and hot. It will
magically transform any dish it touches! Try it on pasta, meat, rice or as an addition to sauces, vinaigrettes, and
stews.

GUILIO BULLONI CRISPBREAD (SARDINIA)
Guilio Bulloni Crispbread
This original, famous music-paper bread called Pane Carasatu (or Carasau), is the artisan staple from the island of
Sardinia. This staple was originally baked for nomadic island shepherds, who enjoyed them with sheep's milk
cheese and olive oil. The ―Panificio (bakery) Giulio Bulloni was born in 1970. Celeste Bulloni bakes this classic
Sardinian ―music paper bread,‖ also known as Carasatu, in her home twice daily. The bread is twice baked in
wood burning ovens, and then split apart and baked again for a crispy texture. It is now an artisan staple. This
traditional recipe produces perfectly thin, fragrant and tasty
crisp bread. It is the perfect accompaniment for cheese, soup
and spreads. It can also be moistened, and used as a large
sheet of pasta for lasagna, or for wraps. Try it as a healthy
substitute for nachos! It is available in regular and with
Sardinian extra virgin olive oil.

FRENCH MUSTARDS
EDMOND FALLOT DIJON MUSTARDS (FRANCE)
Faithful companion to choice cuisine, Dijon mustard enjoys a storied position in the
history of gastronomy. Appreciated since antiquity for its aroma and vigorous
taste, fine mustard reached new quality standards with the introduction of official
laws governing production in 1634 in Dijon, France.
Advancing from handmade means to stone grinding, pressing and sieving the
seeds, a production site in the center of nearby Beaune, ancient capital of
Burgundy wine, was established in 1840. Here the firm of Edmond Fallot (still
family owned and operated by Edmond Fallot‘s great grandson) continues the
uncompromising production of Dijon mustard by stone grinding the seeds, artfully
blending them with the highest quality ingredients and following Fallot's own family recipes. These methods result
in an intense robust taste not available in commercially produced "Dijon style" mustards.
Perched at the edge of the plate, mustard is by definition, the ideal complement for every type of
meat, from beef to poultry, pork to game, whether served hot or cold. As a seasoning, mustard
enhances an oil and vinegar dressing.
In a mayonnaise, or blended in a sauce, it will constitute a worthy
accompaniment for broiled meats, roasts, or fish dishes. The culinary arts
have always been inventive, but when it comes to finding new uses for
mustards, they are extraordinarily so. In fact, mustard is known to possess
"aperitif" or appetite-stimulating properties. Offered in the best shops around
the world, the company has responded to consumer demand for variety and
versatile usage. This classic, stone ground Dijon mustard is offered in jars,
stoneware crocks and unique pails.
Edmond Fallot Mustards – Offered in a variety of flavors including: Classic Dijon, Dijon
W/ Honey & Balsamic, Dijon W/ Green Peppercorns, Dijon W/ Spiced Honey, Dijon W/
Tarragon, Dijon W/ Basil, Classic Dijon W/ Burgundy Wine and Dijon with Blackcurrant.
