Fratello e Sorella

About

Fratello e Sorella, which translates to "Brother and Sister," is a brand that truly embodies the passion for all things Italian, curated by Jeff and Lisa Cirace. Drawing inspiration from their heritage and tradition, they personally select favorites to include in their gourmet hampers. Their offerings feature a signature brand, Sogno di Sorrento, known for its extra virgin olive oil and lemon-infused products, alongside a selection of fine Italian wines and spirits. While not specifically Balkan, their focus on traditional European flavors and quality gourmet items resonates with a diaspora audience seeking authentic Mediterranean tastes and culinary experiences.

Regional roots

Their products offer a taste of Southern European tradition often appreciated across various European diasporas.
