The Traditional has 2 boxes of cheese ravioli, 2 pints of tomato sauce and a wedge of Parmigiano Reggiano — both made with care from real Non-GMO ingredients sourced fresh from local farmers and a wedge of DOP Parmigiano Reggiano.

• Cheese ravioli — It is made from organic unbleached semolina flour imported from Italy and farm-fresh eggs. It is filled with fresh ricotta and Parmigiano Reggiano DOP.

• Tomato sauce — We make tomato sauce from local farm fresh tomatoes, onions, and fresh basil. We use only organic extra virgin olive oil and simmer the sauce slowly for several hours.

• DOP Parmigiano Reggiano 24 Month (1 Piece) Made from 100% raw cow's milk in the regions of Reggio-Emilia, Modena and Parma, Parmigiano Reggiano is quite possibly Italy's most famous cheese. Sourced from a premium family of carefully selected farms based on quality, artistry, location, and flavor profile.
