However, UA-cam is automatically removing many of them as spam which we don’t seem to have any control over. We want to see them, though!

Some gelatin sheets for panna cotta, Friol frying oil, a couple of boxes of panna da cucina, and saffron. Also tons of La Roche Posay sunscreen! The sunscreens in Europe have extra filters that aren't approved by the USDA so the formulas sold in the US are inferior. I brought back like 6 bottles

    Just back from Italy too - but from Piedmont. Grana Padano and or Parmigiano Reggiano always have a place in our suitcases, also brought back Speck, San Daniele and Bologna which cannot be found easily in Ireland (all freshly cut and vacuum packed by the deli). Also some tuna in olive oil, which costs a small fortune here. Last, but by no means least, dried porcini mushrooms.
    On the sweets side, i’m another big Pocket Coffee fan and also brought back some coffee bonbons from Sperlari which taste amazing. Love cremini as well, usually go for the FIAT brand, though Novi is good too.
    Availability of Italian foods has improved a lot in recent years here in Ireland, so don’t need to bring back as much as we used to, but there are some things that are still missing.

      From the Italian embassy web site about bringing stuff in to the US.
      "Bakery items, candy, chocolate, and cured cheese are generally admissible. Canned goods and goods in vacuum packed jars (other than those containing meat or poultry products) are also generally admissible if being imported for personal use.
      Dairy items such as milk, yogurt, butter are generally admissible, although this is subject to change, depending on disease outbreaks. Eggs may be admissible, although frequent outbreaks of Exotic Newcastles Disease and avian flu make it very likely that they will be denied entry. Hard cured cheese such as parmesan or cheddar are generally admissible, soft cheeses such as brie and soft curd cheese and cheese in water(ricotta, feta, etc.) are not."

    You can find orange blossom honey here in the US but I'm sure the one in Italy is different and likely better. Get some orange blossom honey from the US and do a taste taste. Eva likely did not waste any space. In order to have the closest comparison you would need to find a (at least relatively) locally produced honey because there is a taste difference between honey you purchase in the store and ones you can purchase just locally.

    Eva - Setaro is the best pasta brand! Buon Italia in the Chelsea Market in NYC has all of their shapes and you can get it online. What are you making with the Candele?
    Harper - You can get all types of real Calabrese imported food and pasta in Brooklyn, NY at D. Colucchio & Sons. They also make amazing homemade Pancetta and Soppressata. They will ship it to you if you call the store. You're welcome. ;)

    On the filei pasta: you can buy that exact brand and shape of it in many supermarkets in Montréal. I have bought it and used it on multiple occasions. It's slightly more expensive than the usual pastas but not prohibitively so. So if you're really hankering for it and you live close to the border, know often you can find it at certain supermarkets here.

    That Italian Orange Blossom Honey looked really good and had a fantastic color to it. As some commenters already said, America does produce a lot of orange blossom honey but no two jars of honey are alike! Orange Blossom Honey from the US and Italy will definitely taste different.
    My father and I love the many varieties and flavors of honey and one of my favorite kinds of honey is Apple Blossom Honey. It's bold, fruity, and has an apple like sweetness to it. You can find it where there are a lot of apple orchards.
    I highly recommend trying Sourwood honey from the southern USA though if you can find it - it's widely considered one of the best honeys in the world with its buttery caramel, gingerbready taste.

    Sardella, haven't heard of it for years. Every so often we would get some given us. Mom used to make bread rolls with it. She would rollout a flat piece of bred dough, spred it over the dough, roll the dough & cut it like you would for cinnamon rolls. Then bake it.Should make it clear, the sadella took the place of the cinamon roll filling, not in addition.

    In Europe (outside of Italy) is now a bit easier to find it in some deli shops and sometimes even in some airports but I bet in the US is not that common to find.
    Great choices. Btw, I think the English people use the word nougat for our torrone (although the nougat is not really the Italian torrone, but it's very similar).
