Quarterly Newsletter

We, at Santisi Imports, are concerned with importing

only the best quality products. We find products thatwe like, see where the products are made, and form

relationships with the producers. We only import high

quality items from producers that we feel comfortable

with.

Santisi extra virgin oil is from the province of Messina

-- near the toe of the boot -- in Sicily. Crafted fromSant'Agatese olives, this filtered extra virgin olive oil

with green reflections features a delicate aroma with a

slight taste of artichoke and hint of almonds. We find

this to be sweet, grassy, herbaceous, medium fruity,with just a slight hint of pepper.

The 2011 harvest Novello unfiltered extra virgin oliveoil is now in stock. It is available in both 750ml and 1

Liter bottles. Quantities of this oil are limited. Oncethe oil is gone, it will not be available again until the

next harvest in the fall.

In 2005, we imported

our first shipment of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

and Oregano from

Sicily. Since then, our

product line hasexpanded to many items

including pasta, balsamicvinegar, tomatoes, mineral water, colatura, and jarred

vegetables for antipasto.

We are the exclusive North American importers of 

Pastificio Vicidomini Artisan Pastas! 

Pastificio Vicidomini pastas come to us from Castel

San Giorgio, near Naples, in Campania. This family

business has been making pasta since 1812. Now the

6th generation is involved in crafting this high qualityartisanal pasta.

These pastas are made with bronze dies in the classicshapes of traditional Italian pastas and are well

packaged in strong bags, adorned with a blue and

white logo. The pastas are made with high qualitysemolina (certified organic) and mountain water and

they are very patiently dried on site. The tagliatelle

dries for three days while other shapes take up to five

days to completely dry.

We now sell 22 different varieties of Vicidomini Pasta

Our new shapes include festoni, lasagna, mezzifischiotti, gnocchi sardi, and spaghetti.

traditional preparation from southern Italy. Thisdistillate is a fish sauce extracted from cured

anchovies. Each batch takes five months to produce.
