This beauti- ful area, formed by the Belice River (the Valle del Belice) produces deli- cious, fruity extra virgin oil and the region's fa- mous table olives. Today, the fourth gen- eration of the Asaro fam- ily is continuing its commitment to bringing its customers the highest quality natural and or- ganic Sicilian olive oil, olives and other specialty foods. Antonino Asaro leads his sons and daughter in their several la- bels. Their products are based solely on the Monocultivar olive Nocellara del Belice, better known as Castelvetrano Olives. Of the various olive oils the family pro- duces, the top of the line is Par- tanna and Paesanol Organic, both being gold medal-awarded extra virgin olive oils at the New York In- ternational Olive Oil Competition. The family also cures Castelve- trano olives harvested at their own farm. New York-based company, United Olive Oil Import Corp., was born as an exclusive importer and distributor for the Asaro Family brands. The strong passion for the Mediterranean diet with an in- creasing market demand for nat- ural and organic foods have brought the com- pany to expand its line of imported products, becoming the perfect partner for small and medium Italian specialty food producers. In 2015, the Asaro family launched a brand new line of organic Sicil- ian food specialties under the ASARO OR- GANIC FARM brand. This line gives American consumers the opportunity to try the most deli- cious Sicilian gourmet specialties, such as artichoke cream, roasted artichoke hearts, oven roasted cherry tomatoes, marinated olives, Castelvetrano olives spread and olives salad, raw honey from orange blossom and natural Sicilian sodas. United Olive Oil Import Corp. can satisfy the needs of both its customers and farmers.

Amongst the tasty jams, sauces and pestos, unique and robust chutneys were also for sale. For some of us back then, chutneys were something really new, different and exotic. Today, chutneys are a go- to condiment used regularly to add robust flavor to both everyday and ethnic dishes. Still, for others, chutneys are an acquired taste whose tangible uses are occa- sional at best. Luckily, to bridge that gap, there is still Stonewall Kitchen.
