This product has no sugar. Gluten free. In the days when great Italian chefs prepared the finest foods in the world for their kings and visiting royalty, every kitchen had a special spice box where a secret blend of spices were kept. The chef would use selected amounts from the spice box by repeatedly grabbing pinches of the blend and sprinkling it on the food, hence the term pinch. We invite you to try this Old World marvel when preparing meats, vegetables, soups, or salads. Use it generously for best results.
