La Favorita Pumpkin Cream

Stir La Favorita pumpkin cream through freshly cooked pasta for a comforting dinner in minutes. The velvety cream is made with pumpkin, potatoes, and a warming hint of nutmeg.

The sweet pumpkin cream is also a great filling for homemade ravioli or tortellini. Or even spread over toasted bread and top with rocket for a quick snack.

La Favorita was born just after the second world war. The founder began by trading local Ligurian specialities – such as chestnuts and mushrooms – for anchovies from local fishermen. The enterprise grew and La Favorita began selling sauces and preserves made from local produce. Every product is carefully and lovingly worked to give the customer the feeling that they’re eating something ‘just picked’.

La Favorita take inspiration from traditional Ligurian and Piedmontese country fare. They now sell their products all over the world, but their core values remain the same. Every time you open a La Favorita jar, you know you’re tasting locally grown Ligurian produce with no artificial preservatives or colourings.

Crema di zucca, also known as vellutata di zucca, is a traditional autumn soup in Italy.
