Homemade Tomato sauce with Cacio e Pepe

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

In Apulian tradition, at the end of summer the family would get together to make tomato sauce that was to be bottled for consumption during the winter. Strings were then tied around the necks of the bottles so that they could be hung in the pantry. Enrico De Lorenzo wanted to take up this beautiful custom in his homemade sauces.

Enrico De Lorenzo’s homemade tomato sauce with Cacio e Pepe is inspired by the Roman recipe of the same name, combining an already irresistible sauce with the taste and aromas of tomato left to cook slowly along with sautéed onion. Deep red in color, simply uncork the bottle, pour over the pasta and saute for a minute; on pizza it can be tasted plain, without even adding mozzarella.

Would you be willing, to save a small amount of money, to compromise your health and the pleasure that properly made food brings you? Here, the benefits of good Italian food, the fruit of the expert hands of true artisans of the table, are these. 

Over the years the raw material has lost its soul and food has become something to be swallowed without too much attention. Therefore, the time has come for us to take back the pleasure of being at the table and to start taking care of our bodies again, not only in appearance but also through what we ingest. Making food our medicine is possible, but only if we know the exact origin of the raw material and the processing methods: we at Gustatium have thought about this for you, selecting the best small Italian producers and making them available to you on our website.

SHIPPING

We receive your order, prepare it and ship it in 24/36 hours.

We are aware that excellent products need excellent packaging and at the same time we cannot risk damaging in any way the precious Italian culinary jewels: for this reason, our warehouse is equipped with temperature and lighting ideal for food preservation and the most delicate ones (cheeses, cold cuts and craft beers) are stored inside cold rooms. During shipping, on the other hand, each product is protected with the packaging most appropriate to its characteristics.

Cheeses and cured meats, which despite being aged require special care, travel accompanied by a special slow-release gel ice inside isothermal bags: in this way freshness is preserved until the goods arrive at your home.

For our craft beers, which are unpasteurized and therefore more sensitive to high temperatures than normal, we use special isothermal bubble wrap, which can ensure that the accumulated cold is maintained for the shipping time while protecting the bottles from shocks.

To secure the precious bottles of Italian wine, we have equipped ourselves with special inflatable bags, designed solely for the purpose of immobilizing and protecting this product inside the box.

For jars containing a thousand Italian goodnesses, we use special protective bubble wrap liners.
