Discover the flavours of Italy, one region at a time 🇮🇹🍅

Our Don Antonio sughi are a world away from the average supermarket pasta sauce. Produced in Italy using carefully selected ingredients and inspired by authentic regional recipes, each jar celebrates the incredible diversity of Italian cuisine.

Rather than relying on heavily processed flavours, these sauces allow the quality of the tomatoes and traditional ingredients to take centre stage, creating a taste that's closer to homemade cooking than mass-produced convenience food.

Each variety tells the story of a different Italian region:

🌶️ Calabrese – Inspired by Calabria in southern Italy, with a gentle chilli warmth and bold, vibrant flavours.

🫒 Puttanesca – A classic Mediterranean favourite featuring olives and capers for a rich, savoury depth of flavour.

🍝 Bolognese – A hearty, comforting sauce made in the style of Italy's famous ragù, perfect for a satisfying family meal.

🍄 Piemontese – Inspired by the northern region of Piedmont, known for its rich culinary traditions and elegant, rounded flavours.

🌿 Toscana – A rustic Tuscan-style sauce that celebrates simple, honest ingredients and the timeless cooking of the Italian countryside.

One of the things we love most about these sauces is that they showcase how different Italian food can be from one region to another. The names on the jars aren't simply marketing - they're inspired by genuine regional cooking traditions that have been passed down through generations.

Beautifully presented and full of authentic flavour, they're perfect for creating a restaurant-quality pasta dish at home. Simply pair with your favourite pasta, finish with a little Parmigiano Reggiano, and enjoy a true taste of Italy.

Which region would you choose first? 🇮🇹❤️

Have you checked the weather forecast? ☀️

The summer barbecue weather is set to return this weekend, and if you're looking for something a little more interesting than the usual supermarket lager, we've got just the thing.

Say hello to Birra Flea - a small-batch craft brewery from Umbria, the green heart of central Italy. Named after the ancient town of Gualdo Tadino, Birra Flea has built a reputation for producing characterful beers using carefully selected ingredients and traditional brewing methods.

And yes, the bottles are as stylish as the beer inside them!

🍺 Adelaide (Turquoise Label) – APA

An American Pale Ale that's fresh, crisp and highly drinkable. Expect citrus notes, gentle bitterness and plenty of refreshing character. Perfect for warm afternoons, grilled chicken, burgers and lighter barbecue dishes.

🍺 Federico II Extra (Copper Label) – IPA

A fuller-bodied India Pale Ale with more pronounced hop character. Richer, bolder and packed with flavour, this is a great choice for anyone who enjoys a beer with a little more depth and complexity. Fantastic alongside smoky barbecue meats and spicy foods.

🍺 Jolanda (Orange Label) – Black IPA

Perhaps the most intriguing of the three. A Black IPA combines the hoppy character of an IPA with darker roasted malts, creating notes of coffee, cocoa and toasted bread without becoming heavy like a stout. It's a style many beer lovers haven't tried before and well worth discovering..

What makes these different from your standard beer? Smaller production runs, more attention to ingredients, more distinctive flavour, and a real sense of place. These are beers made to be savoured and enjoyed, with each style bringing something unique to the table.

Whether you're firing up the barbecue, enjoying a sunny afternoon in the garden, or looking for a gift for the beer lover in your life, these Italian craft beers are a great way to try something different.

Pop into Rizzo Deli and pick up a few bottles before the weekend. We think once you've tried one, you'll want to work your way through all three. 🍻🇮🇹
