Did You Know?

EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL “Extra" is the highest grade for olive oil--the best you can buy. The virgin oil produced from the mechanical pressing of the olives may be called "extra" if it has less than 1% free oleic acid, and if it exhibits superior taste, color and aroma. Thus, the "extra" in extra virgin olive oil means "premium," or simply, "the best."

Italian cuisine reflects the cultural diversity of the country’s diverse regions and history, is very seasonal and places a high priority on the use of fresh, seasonal produce.

The Chinese are on record as having eaten pasta as early as 5,000BC.

There are more than 600 pasta shapes produced worldwide.

Top quality pasta is made from durum wheat; egg noodles contain egg, most other dry pastas do not!

The word pasta comes from the Italian for paste, meaning a combination of flour and water.

Cooked al dente (al-DEN-tay) literally means “to the tooth”, which is how to test pasta to see if it is properly cooked. It should be tender, but slightly firm, offering a bit of resistance to the tooth.

Canadians eat approximately 7 kg (15 lbs) of pasta per person per year.
