This box is Giada’s signature gift for a reason! It’s filled with her favorite pantry staples: the high-quality, Italian essentials she always keeps stocked at home. Whether you're gifting it to a fellow food lover or treating yourself, this kit is a perfect introduction to what Giadzy is all about. Inside you’ll find two of Giada’s go-to pasta shapes—spaghetti chitarra and nodi marini—plus sweet Corbara tomatoes, our fan-favorite spicy seasoning salt, and Giadzy gold-wrapped extra virgin olive oil. These ingredients are made to mix and match to make something delicious, from a quick weeknight pasta to a slow Sunday sauce. It’s a little bit of everything we love, straight from Giada’s pantry to yours! This box comes gift-wrapped with crinkle paper & gift note. Our recipe box photos are styled to showcase the ingredients inside, but your order will arrive with protective packaging (including bubble wrap) to ensure everything gets to you safely and in perfect condition. The ribbon shown in the styled photos is for display purposes only and is not included in the final shipment. This box contains: Organic Spaghetti Chitarra Pasta: Our Giadzy organic spaghetti chitarra has an unexpected edge—literally! With squared edges, this geometric shape is an Abruzzese specialty traditionally made with a wooden frame strung tightly with wires called a chitarra (literally "guitar"). After pressing the dough into the wires using a rolling pin, the pasta maker strums the strings as if they were playing a guitar to shake the finished pasta loose. While it remains a favorite in Abruzzo, spaghetti chitarra has found fans across Italy for its ever-so-slightly rough texture and hearty versatility. Organic Orecchiette Pasta: The iconic “little ears” of Puglia are even better when they’re made by our master pasta artisans in the hills of Abruzzo. Traditionally, these little rounds of pasta are rolled by hand, one by one, by women who sit outside in Bari and ply their pasta trade. Our Giadzy orecchiette preserves that hand-rolled charm and satisfyingly rustic texture for a delicious pasta bite that pairs beautifully with sausage, greens, and other smaller ingredients. Organic Coastal Puglia Olive Oil: Big personality is the name of the game with our Coastal Puglia extra virgin olive oil, made with 100% organic Coratina olives along the Adriatic Sea. It’s unapologetic in its flavor: bold, peppery, but balanced with herbaceous fruity notes. The robust flavor isn’t just prized for culinary purposes, either - that signature spicy kick is a hallmark of remarkable health benefits. Coratina olive oil boasts some of the highest polyphenol levels found in any oil, at 500 to 700 mg/kg at the pressing stage. Translation: this olive oil is jam-packed with antioxidants, making it a top tier choice for wellness purposes. Nickel-Free Tomato Passata: When flavorful fresh tomatoes aren’t available, our ripe tomato passata is here to step in. Much more than your everyday tomato puree, passata is made with fresh tomatoes instead of cooked, giving it an elegant lightness of flavor and texture. It’s as if you had freshly grated, peak-of-summer tomatoes at your fingertips all year round. Spicy Seasoned Salt: With our well-rounded Spicy Seasoned Salt in your pantry, you may never reach for another seasoning again. This blend has everything: a mild, fruity heat from sun-dried Sicilian chilis, bright lemon zest, and gorgeously perfumed oregano and rosemary, all combined with coarse natural sea salt that comes straight from the Mediterranean itself. It’s a versatile blend crafted by Giada to give any dish a distinctly Italian character with lots of personality. 2 Cans Whole Unpeeled Red Datterini Tomatoes: While the name of these tomatoes translates to “little date,” they might as well be called nature’s candy. These whole, unpeeled little tomatoes are naturally sweeter than your standard cherry tomato, with an oval shape and fewer seeds. They’re preserved in their own juice so you can use the whole can and get nothing but pure summer flavor.
