Episode #15: Bring Italy to Your Doorstep with Olivia Becker

Dream of Italy

Pistachio cream tastes like that breakfast you enjoyed in Milan.

A drizzle of balsamic vinegar catapults you back to a memorable lunch in Modena.

A bite of pasta transports you back to a perfect dinner in Umbria.

Olivia Becker of Dalla Fonte knows the important role food plays in our memories. She talks to host Kathy McCabe about how Dalla Fonte brings customers Italian food directly from small businesses and local suppliers in tiny towns in Italy, truly living up to its name which means “from the source.” Olivia, who has Italian-American ancestry, connects with many female-led business owners and entrepreneurs keeping traditional food alive while keeping an eye on innovation. Jordan almonds (“confetti”) were a staple in Olivia’s Abruzzese family and are synonymous with parties and celebrations still today for many Italians. She includes confetti from the Pelino factory in Sulmona, Abruzzo, in operation for over 300 years, as part of a special box created as an interactive experience for Season 3 of the TV series Dream of Italy. Olivia's curated boxes bring the best of Italy, authentic Italy, to your doorstep.
