Disclosure – I received the following products to provide you with this review. No monetary compensation has been received and all thoughts are my own.
One thing I love about Monday through Saturday is getting the mail and maybe getting a package or two. Since I work from home and spend most of my time there, I enjoy when I the mailman, UPS or FedEx brings me something fun to open.
I have a new monthly subscription service I want to share, Hamptons Lane.
When you signup for Hamptons Lane, you are going to start receiving must-have kitchen gadgets as well as artisan foods & ingredients into a themed box like the Coastal Italy box I received this month. In my box I found products from some of the most breathtaking coastal towns in Italy. I love trying new products, especially ones that I can’t find at my local grocery stores.
Here are the items I received in my Coastal Italy box:
Colatura di Alici – The ultimate in umami from the romantic Amalfi Coast region of Italy.
This colatura comes from the charming seaside town of Cetara on the Amalfi Coast where the Cetaresi catch the fish in the summer, throw them into wooden barrels with alternating layers of sea salt and pressed down by weighting a lid with rocks. The anchovies then produce a fragrant translucent amber juice that is captured by poking a hole in the bottom of the barrel. I am going to use this with a recipe for spaghetti that was also included in my box.
Antichi Ulivetai Extra Virgin Olive Oil – An olive oil that the Pinna family has been producing for generations.
This product comes from Sardinia, an area that is blessed with intense sun, heat and very rich soil. This extra virgin olive oil is made exclusively from Bosana olives that are picked when perfectly ripe and cold pressed in the family mill. Only a small quantity of bottles become available every year which makes this oil all the more precious. I can’t wait to use this in my next Italian dish that I use olive oil in.
Antimo Caputo Tipo 00 Flour – Regarded to as the “World’s Best Pizza Flour”.
This is also one of the world’s best flours for focaccia too! It is 100% natural and also difficult to find outside of pizzerias in the US. One of my favorite things to eat is pizza. I also like to make it homemade because not only does it taste better it also is a lot cheaper. I can’t wait to try this flour the next time I made pizza or get brave and make the focaccia recipe that was included.
IGP Spaghetti Psta by Pastificio Faella – Certified meaning this pasta is original from Gragnano, a status granted to only 9 companies in Italy.
This pasta is made with traditional methods using the best wheats, extruding the pasta with bronze dyes and air drying it naturally for at least two days. This process gives the pasta a rough and porous service that allows it to collect the sauces. Since I make spaghetti often, I can’t wait to try this pasta and see how much better my spaghetti is going to taste!
Blade By Menu Wine Aerating Pourer – Created by award-winning designers at Design Wright in London.
For those that like to drink wine, this handy little gadget is supposed to introduce 43% more oxygen to wine than conventional decanting pourers. I haven’t tried one of these before but the purpose is to aerate your wine which allows it to develop and come to life at an accelerated pace to give it more flavor. This would be a great gift idea for the wine connoisseurs.
Lot 18 $25 Gift Card – High quality wines at attractive places.
In my box I also received this $25 Gift Card to Lot 18 so I can purchase some wine to use with my my new wine aerating pourer. Lot 18 has a variety white and red wines at discounted prices or those that like to buy their wine in bulk. I haven’t bought my wine yet but the Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio sounds tasty.
Since I love to cook and consider myself somewhat of a foodie, I LOVE the Hamptons Lane subscription service. I enjoy being able to get products from different countries that I wouldn’t otherwise know about. They also have a referral program. When you refer a friend they will get to SAVE $10 off their first order. Once they make a purchase, you will receive $20 credit in your account to spend on future boxes.

I want to order one of these boxes. I have subscribed to various subscription boxes and sometimes I’m not excited about what they send, but this looks like a really good box and I would be excited about everything that came in your box.
Wow, there was a ton of good stuff in there, huh? I love that it’s stuff you’ll actually use, too!
YUm! That looks like a great gift fr a foodie like me!
