New Zealand meets Mediterranean cuisine gift box

Welcome to the other Mediterranean. A place you can visit without getting on a flight and coming back with tired feet!

That’s because these olive oils weren’t squeezed in Tunisia, that pasta was made fresh in Tauranga, those olives come out of Waiheke Island, and the Sangiovese wine from Hawke’s Bay. Sounds good doesn’t it? Making this big gift even better is the sustainable top-quality packaging which means sending this as a present will be easy as pie.

Kiwi Producers Included

Depending on the size selected, this gift box products from these local companies:

  • Amorini Biscotteria Almond & Pistachio Cantucci (Whanganui) — artisan handcrafted Italian biscuits made in Aotearoa by pastry chef Fabiana
  • Big Ev’s Amatriciana Pasta Sauce (Wellington) — locally made using only natural ingredients with no added preservatives
  • Flying Sheep Sangiovese Red Wine (Hawke’s Bay) — a little pepper, a little spice, some earthiness and a ripe feel set this wine off very well
  • Kapiti Olive Oil (Te Horo) — fresh, vibrant and totally delicious 100% premium New Zealand Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Koakoa Limoncello (Kapiti Coast) — handcrafted liquer with the best quality New Zealand fruit. Pour over ice cream for dessert or as an apéritif/digestif.
  • number 29 Table Olives (Waiheke Island) — wonderful with pasta, roasted vegetables, salads, or any other Mediterranean dish
  • Real Pasta NZ Fettuccine/Spaghetti (Tauranga) — gorgeous, silky smooth handmade pasta using local free range eggs and flour
  • Waiheke Herbs Organic Italian Herb Salt (Waiheke Island) — NZ sea salt plus Italian herbs makes ideal flavour for pizza, pasta, potatoes, salads, soups, stews

Although I haven't received my order yet, because I said sometime in November was fine, I'd still like to recognise the amazing attention to customer needs offered by the owners of We Love Local. They will go the extra mile to ensure that the customer is, first and foremost, a person. On-line purchasing can be so devoid of the personal touch, so it's really appreciated when it happens. - 06/10/2021
