Essential Flavors
The foundation of almost every Italian dish consists of high-quality olive oil, fresh garlic, ripe tomatoes, and a well-balanced blend of herbs. For the perfect Italian meal, use THE ITALIAN JOB (Italian Herbs). This blend provides that authentic, herbal depth you usually only taste in a trattoria.
