Note: The "Best by" date on these is 6/30/08, but they'll be good for several more months and we're still happily eating them! Take advantage of this great price on a special treat from Italy.
This stylish wood gift box is imprinted with the tagline "officina del gusto" on the front, which translates as "taste workshop" (or something like that -- we like the image). Inside you'll find a traditional Italian treat they call Scugnizzi: pieces of sun-dried white Cilento figs flavored with cinnamon and rum, and dusted with dark cocoa powder. An incredibly satisfying flavor combination, it's like a chewier, healthier chocolate truffle. For true Continental flair, include these on a dessert tray. ArtisanSweets.com Exclusive!
