GOURMET NEWS JULY 2014 www.gourmetnews.com HOLIDAY UPDATE 1 7 Felicetti Pasta is the world's largest supplier of 100 per- cent organic pasta. The company's pasta is outstanding because of its exceptional aromatic quality, taste and ex- cellent nutritional value. Felicetti's superior pasta is the re- sult of careful attention paid to three key components: flour, water and drying technique. The Monograno Felicetti line is the only pasta made with organically grown grains of mono origin. Felicetti pasta is unique, because it is made at the highest altitude and most northern position of any Italian pasta. This po- sition allows the pasta to be made with crystal clear stream water obtained from high in the Dolomites. The pasta is then dried in pure unpolluted mountain air. The Monograno Felicetti line of pastas comes in three varieties: Farro is made with 100 percent organic whole grain farro, an ancient grain sown in the Italian Alps that features three times the fiber of conventional pasta. Kamut is made with 100 percent organic mono origin Khorasan Kamut® flour, organically grown in Montana and Canada. Finally, Matt is a hearty, rich variety of 100 percent durum wheat harvested exclusively from select farms in Puglia and Sicily. The Monograno Felicetti line of pastas is certified non-GMO, USDA- certified organic and kosher. It also carries HACCP, CCPB, QS ISO 9001:2000/Vision and USDA-JAS certifications.

"It depends on how experimental they want to be, but they can definitely try different things," echoed Kozupsky. "In the butter kit, you can add herbs and lots of other in- gredients. Also, to make goat cheese you can certainly add various herbs, even currants and things like that." For the special foodie in your life, a gift of a make-at- home food kit is more than just something to be consumed. Rather one is giving the recipient the opportunity to create, to learn, to experiment and to socialize. This is what makes these gifts truly special. "The point is that if all you want is gin to get blotto, then you're not my customers, and I'm not going to force you to buy my product. But this is gin and an experience," said Maiellano. "I'm not just giving gin, I'm giving the experience."
