Description
Wild garlic, the bears’ spring breakfast, in tomato.
Aglio orsino is wild garlic, a spontaneous edible herb that covers the floor of mountain beech woods in spring; the name comes from the bears that eat it when they wake from hibernation. Perché ci credo pairs it (0.5%) with tomato (94%, Italian origin), extra virgin olive oil and salt. The aroma is delicate and pleasant, gentler than common garlic. No added sugar, no concentrate; pasteurised.
For restaurants and chefs. A light, aromatic tomato sauce for guests who like garlic flavour without its weight. Toss with spaghetti for a minute over high heat and finish with raw olive oil; it also suits a margherita-style pizza. Wild garlic is a seasonal ingredient in many kitchens, and this jar keeps it on the menu all year.
For specialty and Italian stores. Wild garlic is fashionable with foragers and chefs, and a tomato sauce made with it is a rare find. The bear story makes it easy to sell and to remember. It suits vegan customers and works as a gift with other unusual sauces of the range.
