Four sea salts and one olive oil, all from a single certified-organic farm in Umbria run by twins Nic and Ale. Smoked, floral, fierce, and a garlic salt made from a variety that grows almost nowhere else. The oil is cold-pressed within twelve hours of picking.
This is the box for the person who cooks, or who thinks they would if someone gave them a reason. It is a tasting first and a pantry second, and it reads as a gift from someone who knows where their food comes from.

How to taste it
Pour the oil into a small dish. Dip bread. Add a pinch of one salt, then the next. The differences are obvious within four bites, which is the point of giving it to someone at a dinner.
Who it suits
Clients and partners who cook. Hosts. A team gift that lands in a kitchen rather than a drawer. Anyone who will say the word Umbria back to you in January.
