Dante’s is basically the larder you wish was in your kitchen. It’s a finely honed collection of high-end, artisan, and dietary specific foods, with an emphasis on taste and authenticity.
Situated in Cambridge in the North Island, this lovely shop is well worth the trip up or down. Just some of the products you’ll find include the Sabato range, other true-blue Italian pastas and sauces, cheeses, honeys, oils, spices, chutneys, Tea Total tea and handmade chocolates.
Many products are locally made, but there’s a selection of internationally sourced foods too. They have a range of imported cheeses, German sauerkraut, and even the famous American Pop Tarts if you remember them fondly.
In the special requirements section you’ll find a substantial number of gluten free products, as well as ones catering for dairy-free, vegan, and diabetic diets.
Also, if you’re after anything specific, Vicki knows her stuff - she’ll be happy to guide you.
