D'ARCO

We preserve the finest vegetables and olives grown in the sunny and fertile regions in Southern Italy according to traditional recipes and with an uncompromising regard for quality.

This range of products is inspired by our nonna, Carmela D'ARCO.

She preserved and pickled seasonally the vegetables growing in her garden into tasty treats for her family and friends to be tasted during the year.

D'ARCO products are ideal for delicious antipasti, on bruschetta and in salads, and offer a true Southern Italian gourmet experience.

ANTIPASTI

Antipasti is the traditional starter of an Italian meal.

The use of having an “appetizer” to stimulate the appetite before a meal has a long tradition in Italy and goes back to the ancient Romans.

A traditional antipasti platter would include a combination of cured meats, cheeses, olives and vegetables in oil, vinegar or pickled, accompanied by nice and tasty handmade bread.

BRUSCHETTA

Bruschetta is a slice of grilled bread topped with tomatoes, olive oil and salt.

Variations may include toppings of tomato, vegetables, beans, cured meat, or cheese.

Bruschetta is usually served as a snack or appetizer.

SALADS

A salad is a popular plate in the Mediterranean Diet made with a wide variety of small pieces of vegetables, fruits, cheese, cooked meat, eggs and grains, which may be mixed with a sauce or salad dressing.

Salads may be served at any point during a meal, such as appetizer salads, light salads to stimulate the appetite as the first course of the meal, side salads, to accompany the main course as a side dish and main course salads, usually containing a portion of heartier fare, such as chicken breast or slices of beef.
