More Than a Mouthful is the ultimate in high quality and authentically home cooked Italian pasta, sauces and preserves. Every bottle is hand filled by Italian cook Viv Bortot in her Surrey Hills kitchen and is as authentically Italian as the Mona Lisa labeling.

Viv’s parents migrated from Italy over 50 year ago. Those decades of Italian wisdom, together with high quality fresh local produce, homegrown herbs and spices and no preservatives or added flavourings have made these products More Than a Mouthful.

Everyone absolutely love this range, because they feel it’s a high quality product and tastes like they spent hours slow cooking the traditional way. Viv has done exactly that, spent hours slow cooking so that we can all enjoy the rich flavours of traditional Italian cooking.

"Home-cooked food that we’ve not had to cook ourselves? What’s not to love?...Melbourne-based Italian cook Viv Bortot knows her stuff, from a great arrabbiata to the new Moroccan Fig Mazah – slather it on lamb."
