My Great Grandfather was born one of many sons to a poor farmer not far from the marble quarries of Northern Italy.  When he was only 12, a stranger came to the village looking for a strong young man to accompany him as he brought marble statues around the world to prospective buyers.  Impressing the man with his quick wit, and exaggerating his age, Carlo won the position.  Thus began an education, a tour of the world, and the beginning of many friendships which would extend far past the end of his own life.  While in Australia, my grandfather found a position for a younger brother with a friend who was opening a restaurant.


Several years ago, my Grandmother received a call from an unknown Australian relative who, on a tour of the world, was passing through Massachusetts.  We welcomed him with open arms and he, a professional cook, shared with us the tools of his trade including this spice.
