From Imported ingredients. Roberto Saviano's novel 'Gomorrah' provides a firsthand expose of the savagery & underhanded dealings of southern Italy's Camorra (a powerful Neapolitan mafia-like organization). One of the unscrupulous business practices detailed in the novel is the construction industry's use of inferior building materials to save on costs. In the L'Aquila earthquake of April 2009 several modern buildings were thought to have collapsed because sea sand had been used to produce the concrete. The salt content of the sand had rusted the steel reinforcing elements causing a loss of strength & subsequent failure during the relatively minor 6.3 magnitude earthquake. Rest assured the Camorra have not infiltrated the production of Italian herbs - it's salt free & very robust. Check out the sublime marinara sauce recipe on the back
