Discover the diverse flavors of Italy's most beloved culinary regions with the Colicchio Collection ultra-premium cooking and pairing sauces. Colicchio looked to Italy's most beloved culinary regions for inspiration in crafting the six sauces, all made with 100% vine-ripened New Jersey tomatoes, which are prized for their sumptuous flavor and delicate balance of sweetness and acidity. Each sauce in the Colicchio Collection is made with ingredients unique to its region of Italy and is intended to complement a range of dishes, including six recipes developed by Colicchio to highlight the sauces' distinct flavor profiles, from clams with pancetta and mustard greens to eggplant shakshuka. "I wanted to capture the exciting variety of cuisines throughout Italy in a collection that home cooks could use to elevate and enhance their everyday cooking," says Colicchio. "The inherent brightness and balance of these sauces allows the regional ingredients to shine through, taking stews, braised and grilled meats, seafood, even pizza to another level of flavor and vibrancy." Colicchio first joined The Jersey Tomato Co. in 2020 as an equity partner, brand ambassador and culinary consultant driving innovation. The Colicchio Collection marks the New Jersey native's first original offering in partnership with the brand.
