September brings cooler mornings, new products, and a few new regulars.

Grazie to everyone who had come in, ordered online, followed along, and cooked something Italian this month.

October is nearing and with it brings some new arrivals, and a few things planned that we can’t wait to share.

Follow along. We love having you here.

An Italian cheese board is not just a cheese board.

It’s a conversation.

A decision about which region to visit first.

A disagreement about whether the balsamic glaze or the honey goes better with the aged pecorino.

Here’s how we’d build one using what’s available to order or in store at the Italian Pantry:

→ Start with the aged cheese: our exclusive speciality selection
→ Add contrast: something soft, something sharp
→ Finish with something sweet: Balsamic Glaze, Balsamic Pearls, Amaretti on the side
→ Add texture: breadsticks, sliced sourdough

All available at The Italian Pantry, Compton Acres, Poole.

Balsamic vinegar, but not as you know it.

Balsamic Pearls are exactly what they sound like. Tiny spheres of Aceto Balsamico di Modena, each one bursting with the deep, sweet, complex flavour of aged balsamic. Acetaia Bellei

Drop them on a Caprese. Scatter over a steak. Finish a risotto. Add to a cheese board and watch the reaction.

They’re the most surprising thing in the shop. And one of the most useful.

In store and online.

But the Italian pantry never has an off-season.

September is coming and it’s actually one of the most beautiful months to cook Italian, slow ragus, warming soups, the first of the new season olive oils.

Stock up on your staples before the chaos begins.

We’re open at Compton Acres, Poole.

September is coming.

The long evenings are nearly over. Before back-to-school madness arrives, here are three Italian dinners you can get on the table in under 20 minutes, using nothing but pantry staples.

1. Aglio e olio: garlic, chilli, great olive oil

2. Pasta al tonno: tuna, capers, lemon

3. Pasta al pesto: from a jar, no shame, all flavour.

Every ingredient in store. Every dinner done before the chaos begins.

Compton Acres, Poole.
