Struffoli is a Neapolitan dish made of deep fried balls of dough about the size of marbles. Crunchy on the outside and light inside, struffoli are mixed with honey and other sweet ingredients. There are many different ways to dress them, but the traditional way is to mix them in honey with hundreds & thousands […]
Made with love, by Staibano An after-dinner digestivo for all occasions Digestivi – shots of flavoured alcohol taken after meals to cut through that bloated, ‘I wish I hadn’t eaten quite so much,’ feeling – have a centuries-long history. Wine infused with bitter herbs was said to aid digestion in Roman times, stave off disease […]
Introducing totally tasty tomatoes from Campania Have you ever wondered why many supermarket-purchased tomatoes in the UK are so tasteless? You know what it’s like – you go on holiday somewhere in the Mediterranean, (the Campania region of Italy is our preference, of course!) There you are, on a sun-dappled terrace overlooking the Bay of […]
Amazing Amalfi anchovies Here at Campania Food and Wine, we spend a lot of time focusing on the wine side of our business.

(In fairness to Lambrusco, it has undergone something of a transformation in the 21st […]
Buon Natale! And how to avoid that sinking feeling… Christmas: a time to eat, drink and…be heavier? One of the culprits, let’s face it, is a traditional British Christmas cake. Delicious though it can be, for some people it’s not a sweetmeat of choice after a large turkey dinner, and marzipan is one of those […]
Back in the day in the UK, there was spaghetti and there was macaroni, and spaghetti bolognaise and macaroni cheese (the British way!) were standard fare on every supper table—but in recent years, there’s been a pasta explosion.
