Questions

What can I make for dinner from this page?
Oliveri's Porcini & Saffron Risotto ($14.60) is Carnaroli rice with porcini and real saffron, ready in about 15 minutes. Their Truffle Polenta ($14.50) cooks in a few minutes. Finish either one with Oliveri's White Truffle Salt ($16.99).

What's the difference between saba and balsamic?
Saba is 100% grape must, slow-cooked for 48 hours or more into a naturally sweet syrup with no added sugar or caramel. Saporoso, from the same maker (Acetaia Malpighi), is a balsamic aged at least six years in oak. Get saba ($16.50) if you want something sweet, Saporoso ($24) for dressing.

Which of these are vegan or gluten-free?
Going by the makers' labels, Oliveri's Grilled Eggplants and Artichoke Spread and Famiglia Crispino's Porcini Bruschetta are vegan and gluten-free. Oliveri also says its Truffle Polenta is naturally gluten-free. For anything else, check the product page.
