The top 10 products I bring back from Italy

Every time I come back from a trip to Italy, I bring home a suitcase full of good food. I posted here my top 10 list (with a picture of those products):

What's your list?

You wouldn't be trying to flog your book would you, T?

No Balsamic vinegar?

Ira, you are so correct.

This is what they have to say
<Paolo Tosolini is a marketing consultant for Microsoft with the passion for travel, the Internet and Italy (his country of origin).

Francesca Tosolini worked as a travel agent before choosing the career of full time mom of two beautiful kids.>

It is obvious they are advertising here their own book!!!

Most of these products are available in big cities in the UK & I'm sure the same goes for the US. And any self respecting foodie would make their own panna cotta, not buy some foul packeted mix.

"Usually the ones sold in dark green glass bottles are the best" - LOL !

Judging from the website, Ira, T is going to need all the help he can get selling this one; maybe, he should stick to selling bloated, uneffective, user hostile software. I can buy nearly all this stuff at local Italian delis and Denver is not known for its cosmopolitan makeup.

These are definitely not the top 10 products I would bring back from Italy. These are all readily available at the large Canadian supermarket chains in my area (just north of Toronto). We've even got the first Canadian location of Italian clothing chain "Kappa". I definitely won't be bringing nutella home with me from Italy.
