{"product_id":"demetra-pumpkin-cream","title":"Demetra Italian Pumpkin Cream, 550g","description":"\u003cp\u003eDemetra Italian Pumpkin Cream is a ready-to-use savoury crema di zucca from Demetra, a producer from Talamona, in the Valtellina valley of Lombardy, that has supplied Italian chefs and pizzerias for over 35 years. It’s made with 68% pumpkin, gently cooked with onion, leek and a splash of white wine, then blended until smooth and velvety. The flavour is mellow and naturally sweet, with a gentle savoury depth from the onion and leek. In Italy it’s an autumn favourite on pizza, through pasta and spread on crostini.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s a handy shortcut to some proper autumn cooking. Spread it over a pizza base in place of tomato, then top with roasted aubergine, dots of ‘nduja and a pile of cool, creamy stracciatella once it’s out of the oven - a combination Demetra’s own chefs use. Loosen it with a splash of pasta water and toss through tortelloni or rigatoni with brown butter and plenty of Parmesan. Stir it into a risotto in the last few minutes for a golden, creamy finish, or spread it thickly on toasted sourdough with gorgonzola and walnuts for an easy aperitivo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy we love it:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e68% pumpkin, cooked with onion, leek and white wine, so it tastes like proper home cooking\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Italy by a producer that supplies chefs and pizza makers\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlready seasoned and ready to use - no roasting, peeling or blending\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVersatile across pizza, pasta, risotto, soup and crostini, all from one jar\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA generous 500g jar, enough for several meals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor a quick pasta sauce, warm 250g of the purée in a pan with 4 tbsp of pasta cooking water and a knob of butter.
