From Olive Oil to Espresso: Italian Imports Across Newfoundland and Labrador

Seafood and Olive Oil: A Coastal Match

Newfoundland and Labrador’s rugged coastline provides some of the freshest seafood in Canada — from cod and mussels to Atlantic salmon. When paired with Italian extra virgin olive oils, these local catches are transformed into dishes that balance tradition with Mediterranean flair. A drizzle of olive oil over roasted cod or seafood stew adds depth and richness that locals instantly appreciate.

Bread Traditions with an Italian Twist

Bread is a staple of Newfoundland dining, often served alongside hearty meals like Jiggs’ dinner. Italian favorites such as tarallini and freselle bring new textures and flavors to the table. Crispy tarallini are perfect for snacking, while freselle’s twice-baked crunch soaks up broths and sauces beautifully, blending Newfoundland comfort with Italian authenticity.

Pasta Nights at Home

From family dinners to cozy gatherings, pasta is a meal everyone loves. Imported Italian pasta and sauces ensure consistent flavor and quality, making weekday dinners or Sunday meals something special. Paired with sun-ripened tomato sauces, pasta nights in Newfoundland become both comforting and memorable.

Coffee and Sweets by the Coast

Café culture is on the rise in St. John’s and beyond, and Italian coffee brings bold flavors that pair perfectly with Newfoundland’s growing coffee scene. To finish, classic Italian cookies like amaretti and biscotti offer sweet endings that complement the province’s own baking traditions.
