Originating from a 100-year, old world Italian recipe, Dolce Nonna's gourmet products are marinated to perfection - the ideal healthy accompaniment for just about any meal. Marinated in vinegar and extra virgin olive oil for a unique and unusual taste, they'll perk up any salad, pasta, or meat dish and are simply delicious in a sandwich.

Our Story
Gisella Civale is the president of Dolce Nonna, a specialty food business based in Queens, NY. She created this company in honor of her mother, Maria DiGiorgio, and her authentic Italian recipes. One of seven children, her family immigrated to the US in 1958. After constantly being bombarded in the grocery store by unhealthy junk chock full of citric acid and preservatives, she decided to take action and bring the old way of eating back to the present day.Dolce Nonna has its roots in my mother Maria’s victory gardens, where award-winning harvests went into her heirloom canning recipes. Little did she know that half a century later I would bring her bountiful flavors to the grateful palates of gourmets the world over.
- Gisella Civale
Dolce Nonna products are derived from old world recipes that are over 100 years old, originating from the Campania region of Italy, specifically the Amalfi coast.
Dolce Nonna uses only the finest all natural ingredients including: the highest quality extra virgin olive oil, vinegar, Sicilian oregano, garlic, spices and produce. Fresh premium eggplants, select red peppers as well as Chinese long pole beans are used which provide both a superb and unique crunch when bitten into.
Dolce Nonna products are quickly gaining popularity throughout the country, from Colorado to Bermuda, and sell out at in-store demonstrations. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
“Dolce Nonna products are extremely versatile and easy to work with. Aside from being made with the finest and freshest ingredients, they are also true to the Italian Table of Standards. They are both highly consistent with quality and affordable for an amateur gourmet to use either at home or in a large production. As Executive Chef of The New York Yacht Club, I use Dolce Nonna products in Canapés, platters with meats, Tuscan stations with roast pork loin, on crostini with prosciutto, mortadella, alongside roasted Italian sausage, and antipasti platters with Gran Padano. They also make for a superb amuse bouche and are an excellent accompaniment to any meal.”
- Antonio Cinicola, formerly of Le Cirque, Executive Chef of The New York Yacht Club
