The scirocco is the wind that comes from the sea. It carries salt, warmth, the scent of the coast. In Calabria we know it well: it warms the skin, scents the air, changes the flavor of everything it touches. Sciroccu is a gift box that has the same effect on fish.
 

 
This is the box made for those who cook the sea. Not for those who want strong heat or Sunday's sauce: for those who want to give fish the right aromas, the ones that belong to the Calabrian coast and that you can find almost nowhere else.
 

 
Extra virgin bergamot-flavored oil
 
Bergamot grows almost exclusively in Calabria, on the coast of the province of Reggio Calabria. It's the citrus that scents Earl Grey tea, the one you smell in Mediterranean markets, the one Calabrians have used for centuries without knowing that the rest of the world considers it rare. Extra virgin oil flavored with bergamot is something that transforms a fish dish with a single drop: it makes it fragrant, round, alive. On raw fish, on carpaccio, on the grill straight off the flame.
 

 
Extra virgin lemon-flavored oil
 
Calabrian lemon has a fuller acidity than what you'd normally find at the supermarket. The lemon oil in this box takes that quality and carries it into the oil: fresh, citrusy, with a note that lingers without overpowering. It's what you pour over boiled fish, over octopus, over prawns. But it also works on salmon, on sea bass, on anything from the sea that needs an aroma to make it taste freshly caught.
 

 
Yellow tomato sauce
 
Calabrian yellow tomato is sweeter than red, less acidic, with a soft texture that pairs perfectly with fish. While red passata tends to overpower, yellow tomato accompanies. It's used as a base for fish soups, to dress pasta with clams or shrimp, or cold as a topping on a carpaccio. It's an ingredient you fall for slowly.
 

 
Calabrian chili
 
In this box, chili isn't the star: it's the finish. A light dusting on any seafood dish adds Calabrian warmth without taking anything away from the other aromas. It's what turns a good dish into one you remember.
 

 
How to use it
 
Prepare the fish however you prefer: grilled, steamed, raw, stewed. Finish with a drizzle of bergamot or lemon oil, depending on your mood. Add the yellow tomato sauce as a base or a side. Close with a dusting of chili. No other instructions needed.
 

 
Who this box is for
 
It's the box for those who love cooking fish and want to do it with ingredients that come from the sea and the land of the same place. For those who know bergamot and were waiting to find it in a useful format. For those who want to give something refined and authentic, something you won't find at the supermarket that truly changes the way you season.
 

 
Sciroccu comes from Altomonte, in the province of Cosenza. It's the most Mediterranean box Braalla has ever made: fragrant, bright, made for the sea. Just like the wind that gave it its name.
