Where in the world is Salty Taluch?
Sam's Salt Mix has been a staple in the Talucci Family home for a few decades.
The Sale Pepe (sah'leh peh'peh) recipes are all original creations by Sam Talucci with nearly four decades in the restaurant industry and a French Culinary Degree. His love for cooking started as a child as he experienced his mother Charlotte’s passion and love for food and cooking. Sam was always fascinated by recipes that called for salt and pepper to taste, so he developed a salt mixture that addressed that and kicks every dish up a notch. Originally just a house staple for the Talucci's, we soon began to give it to friends as gifts. In addition, Sam was the owner and operator of the award-winning Magnolia Café in Philadelphia. Magnolia Café featured Cajun Creole cuisine, which led to Sam’s love of spice. The series of Blackening seasonings came out of this experience. Salty Taluch developed from a strong request from avid users and lovers of the Sale Pepe seasonings. The name Sale Pepe is inspired by two key ingredients in all the seasonings, salt and pepper translated from the Italian words sale pepe.
Sam launched a partnership with his brother-in-law Nick Wilkin in the UK called Sam and Nick's seasoning mix, same great curated products overseen by a local partner.
Salve Terra (sahl'veh tehr'rah) grew out of the need for a hand and body salve for working hands and dry skin. Created while Alexandra Talucci was working in Turin, Italy, this hand salve soon became a staple of everyday use for her. Simple and natural ingredients that hydrate and brighten your skin. Salve is also an Italian word for Hello, and Terra is Italian for Earth, with this play on words and language it translates to "Hello Earth".
Salve Mare (sahl'veh mah'reh) developed from long winters and the need to invigorate and hydrate the skin. Anna Talucci created this body scrub with the two base ingredients being salt and olive oil. The name is inspired from the Mediterranean Sea and the Ancient Roman Baths. This name Salve Mare also translates from Italian to "Hello Sea".
All these incredible curated products are available for purchase, and we are developing more, stay tuned!
