You could put them in the guests’ rooms enveloped in a lovely packaging, as a small thanks for being a part of your wedding in Italy.
The typical sauces from the Italian Riviera:
- Pesto : This typical Ligurian product is famous all over the world. This lovely “sugo” (sauce), is made with local Pra basil, olive oil, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, pine nuts and garlic. It’s used to flavor perfectly “al dente” pasta, and to make other dishes shine.
- Walnuts sauce, creamy and perfumed, mostly made of walnuts, and lovely to be eaten with a typical pasta ligure, “trofie”, and “pansoti” which are ravioli filled with herbs and spinach.
- “Olives “taggiasche”, a typical product from the western coast of Liguria, you can also find this olive’s patè being spread on toasted bread or to be used with pasta.
Why not give a little bottle of oil or wine for a souvenir? Just a few suggestions that will make your wedding in Italy easy to remember:
- Oil: thanks to its olive cultivation on the mountains, the Italian Riviera offers different kind of oils. We recommend extra-virgin oil made of “olive taggiasche”.
- Rose Syrup: with an intense perfume and color, usually poured into hot tea, or cold water to refresh oneself during the summer, or as aperitif with white wine, this syrup is made of rose petals gathered during rose season (from May to June).
- Wines: Vermentino is typical everywhere in the Italian Riviera. It’s a white wine that’s fresh and fruity. Other popular wines are Pigato and Rossese di Dolceacqua, which your guests will surely appreciate as a gift!
