Bona Furtuna Organic Aglio e Oglio
A classic Sicilian herb blend that’s extremely versatile, this medley is flecked with vibrant green parsley and red Calabrian chili. Dried parsley is generally one of the biggest wastes of pantry space, as it loses its character really fast (similar to other delicate herbs like cilantro and tarragon), and mass-produced drying and bottling of parsley generally means little to no flavor no matter how new your bottle is. The bright and clear parsley flavor in this Bona Furtuna blend is pretty much revelatory. The blend tastes bright, fruity and a little spicy, with grassy and bright parsley impeccably preserved by the drying process. It’s got a good amount of spice, but is rounded out with earthy, mellow garlic and a hint of high-quality Trapiani salt.

Not sure how you’d use it?
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
HOW TO USE
At its simplest, toss with pasta and oil for a quick and aromatic aglio ed oglio pasta dinner. It’s also lovely in dressings or in a simple olive oil dip. In a small dish, pour good quality oil over a spoonful of the herb blend and dip in warm crusty bread— great snack or accompaniment for dinner. Or ground up further with other spices (such as fennel or fennel pollen) it can make a terrific and easy herb rub for roasted chicken or pork. The fresh parsley flavor will mellow the same way actual fresh parsley would mellow, but it won’t introduce the same moisture as fresh parsley, which helps get crispy texture on your roasted chicken.
