Description

Nestled between the azure waters of the Ligurian Sea and the jagged peaks of the Maritime Alps, Liguria is a land of great beauty. Known as the "Italian Riviera", Ligura isn't just a destination for the glamorous; it is a culinary sanctuary where the food is shaped by the sea breeze and the sun-drenched, terraced cliffs.

Carluccio's 'Treasures of Liguria' features some classic Ligurian ingredients and flavours that are perfect for alfresco dining during the spring/summer season, or indeed, to bring a little cheer to your table on less bright days. 

The collection contains five brand new products for 2026:

Colline sul Mare Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Cold-pressed from 100% Taggiasca olives, this classic Ligurian extra virgin olive oil reveals a golden hue, delicate fruit aromas, and a smooth, sweet palate with hints of almond and pine nut.
Taggiasca olives - Olives carefully marinated in a fragrant brine of rosemary, thyme, and bay laurel, and preserved in extra virgin olive oil.
Bruschetta Ligure - A Topping for bruschetta and crostini, made simply with peppers, tomato, sun dried tomatoes and whole Taggiasca olives.
Battuto di Olive - A tapenade-like paste of Taggiasca olives, sun dried tomatoes and capers brought together with olive oil. 
Ciappe - Ligurian Flatbreads, lightly crisp with a delicate crunch.

It also features some Carluccio's favourites from the Ligurian region

Pesto alla Genovese - A traditional Ligurian recipe made using only DOP basil from within the designated area around Genova. An authentic and deliciously fresh tasting pesto from the region of its birth.
Pesto Rosso - A delicious pesto variant combining sun dried tomatoes with the DOP basil from Liguria, Parmigiano Reggiano and cashew nuts for a creamy texture.
Trofie - A traditional short pasta which originates in Liguria, Northern Italy. Matches perfectly with one of the regions most traditional and well known sauces

Buon Appetito!

Liguria

Liguria is a small but densely populated region of north-west Italy. The narrow ribbon of land is bordered by the Alps, Appenines and the sea. It is home to Genoa, Portofino and the wonderful Cinque Terra.

The region is the original home to a number of Italian staples, like focaccia, minestrone soup and pesto alla genovese. Pesto is made all over Italy, but only pesto alla genovese has a D.O.P. protection – meaning it can only be made in a very precise way using specific ingredients. The ingredients are very simple: basil, pine nuts, garlic, Parmigiano Reggiano, olive oil and salt. Pesto is classically served with trofie, a short, twisted pasta that is also a native of Liguria.

As a coastal region, seafood also features strongly in the local cuisines: tuna, anchovies, sardines and cod in particular. Ciuppin is a soup made from slow-cooked fish, originally created by fishermen to use up the fish that were too small or damaged to sell.
