A Fiasco is a good thing at Central Market

Written by Rex H., Specialty Foods Buyer on Wednesday, October 28 2009

A "fiasco" is good thing when referring to a round-bottomed glass flask for wine, esp. Chianti, fitted with a woven, protective raffia basket that also enables the bottle to stand upright. It may conjure up memories of your college dorm window sill or a quaint Italian bisto where each table had a red checkered table cloth with an empty fiasco filled with a candle dripping with wax pendants down its sides.

Now you will find fiascos at Central Market filled with two wonderful and tasty options. From Veneto's hills in the area of Garda comes a fragrant and fruity olive oil by Redoro called Graziane. This is a Central Market exclusive at a very reasonable price of $9.99. It is beautifully complemented by a superb balsamic vinegar in an identical fiasco from L'Acetaio Di Modena. Also priced at $9.99, these make for old world flavors at  your fingertips. And with the holiday season just around the corner, these make excellent hostess gifts to the aspiring chef or home cook. These are in limited quantity and were made just for Central Market, so you won't see them anywhere but here. Try for yourself but be willing to share –  they are superb quality at an excellent value.
