Our latest Matilde Vicenzi shipment brings a great new products—a very special strawberry version of Vicenzi’s famous ladyfingers, that indispensable element of a good tiramisù.

For a company with such a long tradition—stretching back to 1905—Matilde Vicenzi loves to walk a fine line between traditional pastry craftsmanship and breathtaking innovation.

Alcurnia peaches bring the sunshine

Our Alcurnia peaches are back! These sun-ripened Murcian peaches, carefully selected and packed at peak ripeness, are huge, firm, juicy, and just the right level of sweet—sunshine in a can. Whether to serve up as a breakfast or dessert, roast or grill, bake into a cobber, or just eat straight from the tin, it’s hard to find a better canned peach than Alcurnia.
