Our tasting boxes
Dolce Natale
4-6 persons
Timeless Italian Christmas tradition.
Begin with a slice of Panettone, its sweet, fluffy
texture and delicate flavours setting the stage for a moment of
pure joy.
Complement it with a glass of Passito di Pantelleria DOC,
its rich, honeyed sweetness and hints of dried fruit offers a
luxurious contrast to the airy Panettone. The wine's
aromatic complexity enhances the soft, buttery richness of the
Panettone, creating an unforgettable harmony of flavours.
Panettone
A light, fluffy cake typically stuffed with candied fruits and
raisins, with a subtle flavour of citrus and vanilla. The
texture is airy, and the sweetness is balanced by a slight tang
from the fruits.
Region: Lombardy
Passito di Pantelleria DOC
A dessert wine made from the dried Zibibbo grapes growing on the
volcanic island of Pantelleria. It's a luscious wine, rich in
honeyed sweetness with layers of dried fruit, apricot, citrus
peel, and floral notes.
Region: Sicily

OUR MISSION
Our aim is to deliver an experience.
Make your palate travel from the green valleys of the Alps to
the rocky volcanic islands in the south of Spain. Experiment
with the flavours of almost unknown niche products and relax
enjoying their combinations with the more classical ones. We
believe in food as a mean of gathering people together, promote
friendship and discover history and traditions. We believe in
quality over quantity. We believe in good food and enjoying life
through it.
OUR STORY
We are two friends, brought together by our shared passion for good food and belief that good food is fundamental to enjoy your life. As Spanish and Italian expats, now living in the Netherlands, we got used to the tradition of packages sent by our friends and relatives containing the products we miss the most from our homelands.
This sort of "ritual" inspired us to create a service to share with you the emotion to open a package containing selected products, chosen with care, transmitting the traditions of the places we are coming from. As soon as we decided to follow this mission, the name of the company came out clear: La Scarpetta.
Fare la scarpetta literally "make the little shoe", means mopping up and collecting the reaming sauce left on the plate with a small piece of bread. This gesture represents the ultimate act of enjoyment of a delicious dish, meaning that you don't want to leave even a single drop on your plate and it is the best compliment a cook can get.
