RITROVO® SELECTIONS Adds Third Salt to Its Famous '& Salt' Line

Seattle’s "Italian dream food importer" introduces another cutting-edge condiment to both U.S. and Japanese specialty markets.

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) September 20, 2006

While RITROVO®’s Truffle & Salt condiment has been finding its way into Oprah’s "O" List, Martha Stewart’s Blueprint magazine, California Style magazine and other favorite food lists, RITROVO® has begun introducing its latest development, SEA & SALT™, to U.S. and Japanese markets.

Another RITROVO®-CASINA ROSSA collaboration, SEA & SALT™, is a robust yet skillfully-balanced blend of Italian sea salt with dried citrus, cardamom, sun-dried tomato, and premium-quality, Sicilian Bottarga (air-dried, top-quality Sicilian tuna roe). Its rich, slightly smoky flavor is brightened by exotic hints of citrus and cardamom, giving it a wide appeal.

Due to its cachet and predicted consumer appeal, SEA & SALT™ immediately earned the status of "A RITROVO® SELECTION."

“Like the rest of our ‘… & Salt’ line, SEA & SALT™ has a complexity and balance that frees it from the confines of being a ‘flavored salt’,” explains Ron Post of RITROVO®. “For us it was a natural choice for being ‘A RITROVO® SELECTION”.

SEA & SALT™ can be used as a full-on, “stand alone” flavor:

  •      Unbeatable with sushi

  •     Sprinkled on grilled or sautéed seafood dishes
  •     Condiment on olive-oiled La Romagna Orange Stringozzi
  •     With steamed vegetables such as cauliflower and zucchini
  •     A natural with potatoes!
  •     To brighten cottage cheese and fresh mozzarella
  •     Sprinkled over shrimp or dressing in shrimp salads
  •     Perfect condiment for Ritrovo’s Grilled Fennel and greens
  •     Use on eggs and omelettes
  •     Add new flavor to Caesar Salad Dressing: use Casina Rossa lemon olive oil and Sea & Salt instead of anchovies and fresh lemon

“SEA & SALT™ is inspired by our culinary experiences in Sicily, brought to focus through experimentation with Casina Rossa producer Nicola DeLaurentiis and energized by our visit to the Costa Dei Trabocchi (‘Coast of the Fishing Platforms’) near CASINA ROSSA©,” says Ilyse Rathet, co-founder of RITROVO® with her husband/partner Ron. “Dean and DeLuca Japan was interested in it from the beginning, making our ‘inspiration’ all-the-more satisfying.”

Starting in mid-September SEA & SALT™ will hit the U.S. market, destined for a number of specialty food venues across the U.S. For orders or information regarding this limited-quantity product, call RITROVO® at 206-985-1635.
