Lake Garda Crostini Dressing
The first time we opened this jar, we were struck by the aroma. It wasn't the usual commercial crostini condiment, the one that tastes of preservatives and little else. This one smelled of a summer garden , of sun-dried tomatoes , of fresh basil . And when we tasted it, we understood why.
This Lake Garda crostini dressing is well-made. Artisanal, with real ingredients, no shortcuts.
The ingredients (the real ones)
Fresh and dried tomatoes (32%) – not concentrated, real tomatoes
Extra virgin olive oil – the good one, not seed oil
Green and black olives – for flavor
Aubergines, courgettes, onions – a summer garden in a jar
Capers – for that Mediterranean touch
Mixed cheeses – creaminess and structure
Anchovies – the flavor of the Mediterranean
Garlic, basil, parsley – the aromas that make the difference
It's not an endless list of incomprehensible ingredients. These are things you recognize, things you'd use in the kitchen. And that makes all the difference.

The taste (what you really feel)
Intense yet balanced. Not too salty (a common problem with commercial condiments), not too acidic, not too sweet. It's balanced.
Smell the scent of the summer garden , the saltiness of Mediterranean anchovies , all tied together by a drizzle of Garda EVO oil that enhances every nuance.
It's not a condiment that covers the flavor of bread. It's a condiment that enhances it.
Artisanal (really)
Handcrafted on Lake Garda by a company that selects quality ingredients to offer authentic flavors, in keeping with the Garda gastronomic tradition.
It's not mass-produced. Each jar is made with care and attention. And it shows.
Size: 180g jar . Perfect for 4-6 aperitifs, depending on how generous you are with the spreads.
