The Bona Furtuna farm is under the stewardship of Pasquale “Mimmo” Marino, a master botanist
He’s studied Sicily’s unique ecosystem for over two decades to preserve ancient plant varietals and keep traditional practices alive.
Pinzimonio is a common Italian staple that blends a pinch of spices into olive oil for dipping bread or crudités. With Bona Furtuna’s masterful spice blend, all you have to do is add the oil. A mix of herbs, spices, garlic, mint and chilies—all cultivated in sun-dappled Sicily by a master botanist on the family’s organic farm—it’s a bright and bold combination for seasoning olive oil or sprinkling over grilled vegetables or meat. The secret of the blend, Bona Furtuna says, lies in the mint grown on the property, which lightens the garlic, black pepper and chili in the mixture with balance and fresh sweetness.

We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
Use to make a simple dip for crudities or breads, flavor oil for grilling vegetables, or use as a general spice mix for cooking. We also like it sprinkled on fresh sliced summer tomatoes along with a drizzle of olive oil or over beef carpaccio.
