For the perfect hosts
4. Parmigiano Reggiano Wheel
Known as the King of the Cheese, Parmigiano Reggiano’s complex, fruity and nutty flavour makes it both the star of the show on an antipasti board, as well as the perfect addition to any Italian dish. The flavour and texture of this artisan product changes with the seasons, making every wheel unique. A whole wheel is as big as 38kg, but you can get one cut to any size you wish – so you can delight one of your cheese loving friends with a one-of-a-kind Parmigiano Reggiano wheel this Christmas!
5. Prosciutto di Parma
It wouldn’t be an Eataly London gift guide without the King of Hams! And there are few things more delicious than a wafer thin slice of silky smooth Prosciutto di Parma. And at Eataly London, you can buy an entire leg of this delectable cured ham. Cured for a minimum of 400 days, the flavour is full and delicately balanced. If you did want to gift it as part of a wider haul, mozzarella, rustic bread and extra virgin olive oil are just some of our favourite things to pair it with.
Something for the sweet tooths
6. Eataly Panettone
Home to the UK’s largest selection of this traditional sweet Italian bread, it only seems right that Eataly London has finally released their first-ever private label panettone. There are over 45 different flavours to browse within the market, but our favourite is the Eataly orange and chocolate. Finding just the right balance between bitter and sweet, this is perfect as an offering at a festive gathering or to put under the tree on Christmas morning.
The ultimate stocking fillers
7. Maletto Cotechino
Seasoned with an array of spices, this traditional Italian pork sausage is a popular meal for the festive season. It’s thought to be a good omen, bringing prosperity for the eater if eaten with lentils – so why not give someone you love the gift of delicious food and fantastic vibes for the year ahead?
8. Savini Tartufi Carbonara al Tartufo
They say the best things come in the smallest packages, and this carbonara sauce with truffle will transform any dish into a showstopper. Perfect for pasta or simply spreading on toast, the rich and intense flavour packed into this little jar of heaven will blow your mind and your taste buds.
