Ordering Strategy

What to order
Culatello di Zibello
A gem of a meat with a buttery and tender sweetness, produced only in winter in the river plains of Parma where the fog from the Po carries unique moulds.
Parma Ham (aged 36 months)
A premium, long-aged charcuterie staple sourced directly from Italian farmers that is substantial enough to be the centerpiece of local treats.
Gorgonzola
Described as a huge, gooey delight that is famously spooned out for customers rather than being sliced.
Sheep cheese from Basco Béarnaise sheep
An incredibly rare find sourced from a small flock in the Pyrenees; it's so exclusive that the only other retail spot for it is the farmer's mother's front door.
