Cipri Italian Famiglia passata

It was important for them to continue the tradition, and they’ve done so every year since then. Their immediate family and friends now number around thirty and everyone pitches in for a few hours’ work before a big lunch featuring some of their beautiful tomato sauce. A long table is set up and many courses are served, along with Saverio’s homemade wine. 640ml

Cipri Italian Francesca’s melanzane giardinata

$14.00

Marinated eggplant, carrot, celery, capers, garlic, vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, chilli. Use as a side dish for roasted meats, impromptu lunches with good bread, canned tuna, cheese and salumi or in a sandwich or panino. Francesca used to help her mum make this mix back in Calabria from when she was only 8 years old (55 years ago). They had to make their living off the land, there was always an abundance of vegetables on their farm. It was not the norm to buy food back then, so they had to create what they could using their own produce. In Italy, eggplants were in abundance in Summer, so the family would make enough to last them though the winter months. Fortunately for Francesca’s family and friends, eggplants in Australia are available all year round. Made at Cipri Italian. 300g

Cipri Italian Mimmo’s Tonno sott’olio

Tuna preserved in olive oil is the pride of the Calabrian pantry.

Tuna prepared this way is somewhere between fresh and canned.
