From the delicate kiss of extra-virgin olive oil to the sun-ripened blush of flavourful tomatoes, Italian cuisine celebrates the bounty of goodness harvested from the earth. We can’t think of a better way to honour that celebration than with our new range of organic Italian groceries – just part of our new offering of over 100 new organic grocery lines. As with all Woolworths organic foods, every single one of our organic Italian products – pastas, pestos, beans, tomatoes, sauces and more – is grown and made according to strict organic principles, and certified by independent organic certifiers who conduct stringent audits to ensure the authenticity of both organic ingredients and organic production processes. We invite you to join this celebration of good food and to discover the joy of sharing an authentic organic Italian meal made with this selection of foods from our organic Italian pantry. Enjoy!
