About me

My interests include cooking, baking, developing recipes, traveling, trying new restaurants, photography, writing, and event planning.

Greg and I work full time and also are the first known producer of authentic Vino Cotto (Cooked Wine Syrup) in the US, proudly supporting US grape growers, suppliers, their workers and families. We follow the Montillo's 4th generation recipe from Montepaone, Italy in Calabria, which is Greg's hometown. I really enjoy preparing new and enhancing classic Italian dishes using our vino cotto. For more about us and how to use vino cotto, please visit: https://www.vinocotto.us

Like Montillo Italian Foods on Facebook for lots of delicious recipes you can make using vino cotto. Note: When balsamic vinegar is listed as an ingredient, substitute Vino Cotto di Montillo or add wine vinegar to the vino cotto to make your balsamic vinegar as sweet or vinegary as you want it to taste.

Buon appetito!

          Deena, I want to thank you for including the video link to my recipe on Struffoli. The video is almost like the way I do it, although I have to say I have much more flour to clean up when I am done.

          Thanks, again.
