I like to travel because I like to experience authenticity in the world at large. I want to be in the countryside of Italy and eat what is grown locally. I want to smell the air, meet the people, find out how they have been making this food for hundreds of years and why it is so good.
In addition to the restaurants where we have dined, shops like the one at right in Bologna, Italy, have provided us with great insights and resources for the foods we carry for our gift baskets.
Knock their socks off with our massive wooden chest filled with regal delights including a 2003 Cain Concept, Colin Chassagne-Montrachet, 1999 Terricci, Michel Cluizel Chocolates, Feta with Kalamata Olives, Italian Salami, Feta Cheesecake, Biscotti di Vino, organic Italian Balsamic vinegar, and much, much more.
It doesn't matter what you are eating, whether it is a hamburger and fries or foie gras and champagne - it is the ingredients used that make each one marvelous or mediocre. At Fancifull that is what I look for when choosing what goes into our baskets. Fresh natural ingredients, organic, no odd chemical fillers. Because you want to taste the food, not the chemicals. I've tried cookies where the butter leaps out at you because it is so fresh, and then I've tried ones - in beautiful tempting packaging - that taste like cardboard. I can't argue that a fresh truffle is better than a perfect peanut butter cup if both are made with good ingredients. And why argue anyway? Eat them both and enjoy. We will always be searching, tasting, and finding the best ingredients the world has to offer so you can send the best.
