Excellent and intelligent

Like Christmas at Eurospin, which with its Amo Essere Ottima line brings the finest products from Italy's regions and beyond to your holiday table, offering unbeatable value for money.

Among the cheeses and cured meats are Grana Padano DOP Riserva 20 months, Parmigiano Reggiano DOP over 30 months, spicy Provolone Valpadana DOP, sliced ​​Prosciutto San Daniele DOP, Salame Felino PGI, Salame alla cacciatora PGI, sliced ​​Mortadella Bologna PGI, and Prosciutto di Norcia PGI. For first courses, there are many Gragnano PGI pasta shapes, such as fusilli, caserecce, mezze penne, penne rigate, and rigatoni. Among the fresh products, you should try Ribera DOP oranges, Syracuse PGI lemons, and PGI cherry tomatoes, perhaps dressed with the excellent Val di Mazara DOP extra virgin olive oil and Modena PGI balsamic vinegar. If you have a sweet tooth, the dessert selection will not disappoint either. Alongside Tuscan PGI almond cantucci, ready-to-slice Torta Paradiso, and frozen strudel, ready to bake, there are traditional Christmas desserts, such as Siena PGI ricciarelli biscuits, panettone with Sicilian orange and citron zest, and pandoro with Sicilian pistachio cream or filled with gianduia cream.

But Eurospin's Christmas is not only excellent, it's also smart, because it's all about reducing waste: you can prepare delicious food on a budget and learn how to make the most of ingredients, including scraps, as we've done in these recipes, where day-old pasta, leftover cured meats and cheeses, broccoli stalks, stale bread, or apple peels become the stars of an even tastier menu, because it's better for the planet and your wallet.
