We bring the natural surface/stones from Earth

Why Italian Marble Is the Finest Marble in The World. While marble is quarried in many countries around the world including Greece, USA, India, Spain, Romania, China, Sweden and even Germany, there is one country which is generally considered the home of the most high-grade and luxurious marble available

Natural stone is a sublime material. When it transpires in its most precious forms it becomes a true icon of excellence and exclusive luxury. Allowing yourself a journey through the most precious marbles, granite and natural stones in the world means being enchanted by unexpected colors, games of light and shadows, veins that seem to be constantly moving and interweave, come together, move on the surface like waves of water. Beautiful and tireless. Your journey begins here: from the White Statuario marble of Carrara …

White Statuario marble of Carrara: in the heart of Italian excellence

The White Statuario marble of Carrara is one of the most precious marbles in the world. Few materials, in fact, can compete with its transparent sheen and its incredibly compact structure. Among the main types of this material are the White Statuario Veneto Marble, which has veins in shades of grey of various sizes, and the White Statuario Extra Marble on which the veins are extremely thin and not very visible. Both these qualities are very valuable, even if the second one is truly a unique example of aesthetic perfection and grandeur. Many Italian artists from all times, have created real masterpieces with the Statuary: think for example of the “Grazie” and to “Amore e Psiche” by Canova without forgetting Michelangelo’s David, entirely carved in a single block. Today, this material is used to express luxury and magnificence especially for roofing and furnishing elements such as fireplaces, sculptures and special design creations.

The Brilliant Calacatta Carrara marble

Calacatta is one of the most precious and appreciated Italian marbles, above all for prestigious projects and extremely refined furnishing elements. Extracted from the Carrara quarries, this marble has been used since the Renaissance in the most exclusive projects for its delicate magnificence and for the ability to transmit with extreme elegance the most refined aesthetic luxury. The base of Calacatta marble is crystalline white. Depending on the color of the veins, however, we can have various types: the Calacatta Caldia is superb in shades of mint green without forgetting the Calacatta Crema in shades of light beige tending to ivory. Unique, sought-after and splendid in its enigmatic transparencies and in the brilliance of its surface is then the Calacatta Oro that gives the elegant veins in yellow-gold that literally ‘shine’ on the white surface of the base.

The warm tones of Sicily’s Diaspro

The Sicilian Diaspro is mined from the quarries of the mountains of Custonaci, in the province of Trapani. Its color is unpredictable and alternates various colors ranging from dark red to ocher yellow, with rare white intrusions. The softness of the colors gives a wonderful feeling of warmth and comfort and that is why the Diasro is mainly used for luxury upholstery and interior decorations. Among the most expensive stones in the world, Diaspro has always been sought after by Princes and rulers who wanted it for their churches, palaces and mausoleums. It was used in the splendid works of art of the “Opificio delle Pietre Dure” of Florence, a place founded by Ferdinando I de Medici in 1588 as an artistic manufacture for the production of hard stone furniture, second to none for finess of workmanship and creativity in the use of precious materials.

Brèche du Bénou marble Pride of France

French marble with an important design, the Brèche du Benou has a multi-colored gravelly structure in shades of intense yellow and green, up to pink. This is a very precious marble and has always been used for important achievements such as the decorations of the palace of Versailles (especially for the splendid fireplaces) and the interiors of famous historic buildings throughout Europe. Its dynamic poly chrome is a true piece of furniture and is transposed with fascination in both traditional and modern settings.

The White Thassos Imagine what’s Possible

The White Thassos Extra marble is a particularly precious material that comes from Greece. Its value is to have a very fine grain, which gives it a particular crystalline touch, and an absolute white background that has neither veins nor intrusions. The slabs are usually small and carefully selected according to their more candid color. Given the intrinsically beauty of the material, the most suitable processing is the polishing that makes it incredibly bright and suitable for enhancing any type of construction. Usually, White Thassos Extra marble is used for interiors, decorative objects and luxury coverings. Its superb whiteness is often enhanced by the combination with other darker marbles such as the Black of Belgium, the Portoro or the Bottochino marble.

Real stone beauty: the Belgian Black marble

Elegance: this is the most correct and exhaustive definition to describe this marvelous marble that comes from Belgium and that offers an intense black background on which a slight bright white dotting stands out. This detail gives the material an original and unconventional appearance, making it perfect in any declination dedicated both to interior design – such as stairs, floors and counter-tops – and for the preparation of outdoors. As for the finishes, the polishing is the most recommended treatment since it is particularly suitable to emphasize the aesthetic qualities of this most exclusive natural stone of its kind.

Shape your imagination with Black Portoro

A very precious marble, starting from the few quarries in the province of La Spezia that extract it and then continue with the difficulties related to the protection of the local landscape that require a particularly complicated extraction. The Black Italian Portoro is a beautiful marble, characterized by an intense and brilliant black with golden veins alternating with whitish areas of variable dimensions. In its palette there are eight variations ranging from yellow veins for its ‘large stain’ to those ‘fine stain’ up to the Black and White of La Spezia where the white spot is predominant on the grey-black background.

Style in the new standard: The Amazonite granite

Looking at a slab of Amazonite, a very precious granite from Brazil, it seems like you are in front of a contemporary work of art: it’s incredibly moving structure, in fact, creates unexpected suggestions that come to life through the thousand tons of emerald and blue. The Amazonite granite has the power to enchant those who stop to observe it and its value reinforces the magic. In luxury interior design, this material is mainly used as a coating with an open-book stain finish in small spaces, niches in showers in particular, to reinforce the en plen air effect. Not being resistant to frost, the Amazonite is unlikely to be used for outdoor installations.

Total dedication to your work with Blue Sodalite

An extremely rare and precious stone: the blue Soda-lite is an intense material that amazes with its variegated colors that range from sky blue to cobalt to reach the shimmering shades of lapis lazuli. Beautiful and very precious are also its blocks of uniform color, devoid of stains or veins, which give a disruptive perfection as magically wrapped in an incredible depth of color. This natural stone has established itself in the design of luxury environments where it has been chosen for interior cladding and highly decorative elements such as fireplaces, niches and columns. Thanks to its particularly relaxing color, the Blue Soda-lite is also very sought after for the creation of wet areas such as baths, spas and swimming

This makes marble a member of the carbonate family, cousin to limestone and magnesite. Marble can be a material on its own, or as a host rock for gemstones such as ruby, sapphire, spinel and more

Maximizing your Space with Onyx marble

Onyx is an exotic, rare and expensive material most suited to backlit backsplashes. The difference is the stunning patterns and veining in each slab. … Onyx is more translucent than marble, making it a great stone for lighting or for creative purposes like a backlit wall or surface that casts a glow and enhances the stone’s patterns.

Call Me By Your Name

Wow. It has just been one day since I’ve seen this film and I can’t seem to get it out of my head. The film, directed by Luca Guadagnino, is based in 1983 in northern Italy with a setting of a beautiful countryside in a small rural town of Crema. Interestingly enough, Crema is the city Guadagnino grew up in - perhaps adding that much more detail to his masterpiece. Alas, Call Me By Your Name can most simply and eloquently be described as a true love story. A love story that ventures into sultry lust, first love, coming-of-age and touches on heartbreak. 

I want to begin talking about Luca Guadagnino first, not because the actors performances weren’t brilliant, but rather because Guadagnino’s was incredible. I think his brilliance is shown in the most subtle ways. Its these true subtleties that make you forget you’re watching a movie and allow you to connect with the characters on a visceral level. The setting of his home town, a hot humid rural town in Italy paints a beautiful picture; a picture that invokes heat and warms the scenes. This effortlessly and elegantly draws out the sultry subtleties in the film, the small amount of clothing, the constant swimming and reminds you it is based on a hot summer in Italy -- no matter how dead of winter it is now. This introduces the lustful undertone of the film. The lust that manifests itself in meandering throughout Crema and the ongoing flirting. Shirtless scenes, scenes with short shorts are plentiful and effortlessly done; it brings us back to our own summers - of being in summer with nothing to do but bask in the sun. The sultriness of the film is done so effortlessly, you don’t realize when you became in awe of the characters, until you’ve realized you are. It allows you to connect with the characters, to relate. It allows the audience to be attracted to the characters, and witness the actors become attracted to each other. The connection is almost tangible. 

But perhaps my favorite thing Guadagnino captured beyond his beautiful home town and a hot summer was his exceptional capture of falling-in-love. This is his stand out, his brilliance. To so flawlessly capture the simplest feeling we express, love is powerful. It is what resonates and lingers long after the film is over. As the film advances, I became inundated in feeling the same love. I left the movie wondering, have I felt the same type of love? Have I ever fell in love or had something that special? I wanted to. Even if it meant I had to rewatch the film to feel the feeling again, I wanted to. 

Guadagnino’s brilliance is only matched by the exceptional performances of both Armie Hammer and Timothée Chalamet. Hammer and Chalamet only add to the excellence of Guadagnino in a way that adds layers of feelings that are conveyed by looks, touches and the subtleties they implement. 

You meet Elio (Chalamet) as a teenager who although is talented and seems like a prodigy -- plays the guitar and piano wonderfully and transcribes classical music-- is really a coming-of-age young man who will learn how to love. You meet Oliver (Hammer) as a graduate student who is easy on the eyes and has a charisma, albeit seemingly arrogant or confident, that inarguably lights up a room. Although these characters are distinct they come together with their intellect, their appreciation for history (Elio’s father is a professor). Their connection is best highlighted in the subtleties, as in the case with the director. The performance is similarly highlighted in these subtleties; the looks Elio gives Oliver, the gestures Oliver shows Elio, the small romantic dialogue to each other. And in some scenes, its what isn’t said and the music that isn’t played that allows the audience to feel what the actors convey, the raw emotion of falling in love. Elio is the standout for me. He shows the emotion anyone who has had a fling with love would relate to. To relate feeling of lust into love, frustration, heartbreak into resolve is truly nothing short of incredible. 

The film’s brief encounter with heartbreak ends with a sense of resolve and appreciation. It is the standout monologue that shapes the film towards the end and allows you to leave without crying your eyes out. A monologue performed by Elio’s father (Michael Stuhlbarg) that consoles Elio, and the audience, that although the romance is finished Elio must allow himself to feel. That just as he felt the love and attraction and happiness of Oliver, he must allow himself to feel the heartbreak and appreciate the entirety of this love. Elio’s father tells him don’t be  so quick to want be rid of feelings that make you feel bad and silence them, but he encourages Elio to feel and realize he had something special. This moment was almost parallel to the audience, though the film is nearing its end, and may not have ended as we’d all hoped, appreciate this tale of love, for it is a trajectory. And the ending of this love piece is as important as the beginning of Elio and Oliver’s love, and we must simply appreciate that they had something special. That his film is something special. 

And thus, in a span of 130 minutes, Luca Guadagnino, Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer have effortlessly shown us how it is to fall in love again, how to desire someone and how to find resolve and appreciation for something special. I’ve walked away this film with one endearing sentiments: They have truly captured a sense of the most raw emotion love.

Espresso is simply not espresso without the creamy foam on top. This particular drink is a highly individual, subjective, and opinionated thing. And like most other serious espresso aficionados, most people have their own opinions. Espresso is similar in caffeine content to a cup of coffee but since it is in a smaller amount of liquid, you will actually feel the results faster.

Espresso is not meant to be all crema, nor should it have less than 1/10th crema. Crema is part of the visual lure of espresso, the aromatics, the flavor, the mouth-feel, and the long-lasting after taste. It is the basic coffee drink which is simply referred to as caffè in Italy and it is the base of all other coffee drinks. The classic shot is usually served in a tiny cup although it can also be served ‘al ventro’ (in a small glass).

Espresso is also known as the base of many other enjoyable drinks, such as lattes, cappuccinos, macchiatis and mochas. They’re served in many popular establishments such as Starbucks, Peet’s, and many other kinds of coffee shops which offer coffee-derived brewed beverages and snacks.

It is roasted slightly longer than regular coffee beans in order to bring out the rich oils from the bean to the surface. Espresso is usually prepared specifically for, and immediately served to,its actual intended consumer.

To sum up, espresso is basically a strong, concentrated form of coffee. The different types of espresso coffee drinks you consume are based around the combination and amount of ingredients used to accompany the drink.

Cauliflower Recipe Ideas & Nutritional Benefits

All featured products are curated independently by our editors. When you buy something through our retail links, we may receive a commission.

In the past, even in healthy eating circles, cauliflower paled in comparison to more vibrant, assertive vegetables, especially kale. But in the past few years, cauliflower has come to rule the kitchen, especially for those on paleo and keto diets. This cruciferous cousin to bolder broccoli easily nabs the spotlight in a variety of meals and can be a healthy substitute for lots of things including meat and potatoes. Let us impart to you why we adore the almighty cauliflower and how to use this misunderstood vegetable.

What can you do with cauliflower?

The better question might be: What can’t you do with it? Cauliflower is like the LBD (little black dress) of the veggie world. It’s so versatile. You can dress it up or down and take it anywhere. Cauliflower’s mild flavor and sturdy texture hold up well to many preparations. You can roast it, sauté it, steam it, rice it, and purée it.

Once cooked, it can feature in tacos, buffalo-drenched game day grub, or refined dinner party dishes. It can be a side dish, base layer, or centerpiece. Some restaurants even serve the whole head like a roast, front and center (an impressive move to make at home too).

Chowhound

It can work as a vegetarian substitute not only for steak and chicken, but for comforting, carb-heavy accompaniments like mashed potatoes, rice, and pizza crust too. And it can even be blended into a luscious but healthy vegan cream sauce.

What is the best way to cook cauliflower?

If you’re keeping your cauliflower intact or serving as a side (in the form of florets or cauliflower steaks), roasting is the best way to cook it. The excess water evaporates in the oven, resulting in a more concentrated, sweeter flavor. The outer layer browns and caramelizes into a crisp, nutty coating, giving way to a soft interior.

Many in the Chowhound community agree roasting is best. But you can also steam it, saute it (either the florets or riced cauliflower), or even batter and fry it. See the recipe section below for examples of all of the above, and then some. But don’t forget about pickled cauliflower either!

Is cauliflower good for you?

In a word, yes. Cauliflower is blossoming with antioxidants, fiber, and vitamins B6, C, and K, but is incredibly low in carbs, which makes it a close friend to paleo and keto eaters, as well as gluten-free folks. Since it’s high in fiber, it can also help you feel fuller and aid digestion, and it’s high in choline too. Healthline has more details on the health benefits of cauliflower.

Are there different kinds of cauliflower?

Yep! Cauliflower comes in more colors than the common white cloud/brain variety: orange, purple, and a spiraled, pointed lime green guise (a.k.a., cheddar cauliflower, graffiti cauliflower, and Romanesco, respectively).

Cauliflower Recipes

While roasting and adding a few spices is a wonderful way to give cauliflower its deserved respect (just see the first recipe below for proof), you can give cauliflower the lead in these interesting ways too:

1. Roasted Cauliflower with Tahini and Goji Berries

Chowhound

Nutty, earthy tahini and sweet goji berries give extra dimension to roasted cauliflower. The same flavors would work just as well if you want to roast the whole head of cauliflower or cut it into thick steaks. Get our Tahini Roasted Cauliflower recipe.

2. Buffalo Cauliflower with Blue Cheese Dressing

Chowhound

Consider these babies meat-free buffalo wings for game day. They’re battered in chickpea flour for a slightly crunchy texture, plus coated in buttery, spicy wing sauce and roasted in the oven. With a classic blue cheese dressing as dip, no one will miss the meat. Get our Buffalo Cauliflower with Blue Cheese Dressing recipe.

3. Cauliflower Rice

Brent Herrig

The Whole30 creators give us this base that you can change so many ways, from Asian cauliflower fried rice with sesame oil and green onions to Moroccan cauliflower rice with pine nuts and raisins. Whip out your food processor to pulse the halved florets into a rice-like consistency and steam that with some aromatics. Get the Cauliflower Rice recipe.

4. Cauliflower Gruyère Soup

Chowhound

Cauliflower transforms into a smooth, creamy soup that’s enriched with bouquet garni (a fancy French bundle of herbs), chicken stock, cream, and nutty-tasting gruyère cheese. Get our Cauliflower Gruyère Soup recipe.

5. Deviled Cauliflower Casserole

Chowhound

You can still get a great casserole with a creamy, spicy sauce and crunchy topping without resorting to cheese. What? Really. That’s the beauty of butter, flour, and milk, plus Dijon and cayenne. And you can swap in vegan butter and dairy-free milk if need be. Get our Deviled Cauliflower Casserole recipe.

6. Cauliflower Tacos

Chowhound

These little trees are coated in a savory concoction of cumin, paprika, chile powder, coriander, and salt, then roasted for maximum sweetness. Add in the lemon crema and cilantro slaw, and these tacos give you all the tart, savory, sweet, salty flavors and crunchy, soft, creamy textures you crave. Get our Cauliflower Tacos recipe.

7. Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Chowhound

No need to buy expensive wheat flour substitutes for making your own gluten-free pizza crust. When you process cauliflower, blanch it, and squeeze out the water, you can make a pizza dough substitute with creamy goat cheese, an egg, and some spices. Get our Cauliflower Pizza Crust recipe.

8. Curried Cauliflower, Chickpeas, and Tofu

Chowhound

This dish is packed with Indian flavor and provides the nutrition you need with meat-free protein and vegetables. You can either blend your own garam masala or buy the spice mix. Make brown rice instead of white if you want to avoid simple carbs. Get our Curried Cauliflower, Chickpeas, and Tofu recipe.

9. Creamy Mashed Cauliflower

Chowhound

Longtime low-carb lovers know this trick to satisfy your mashed potato needs. This version doesn’t taste like diet food. Steamed cauliflower is pureéd with a rich mix of cream cheese, butter, parmesan cheese, a vegetable bouillon cube, garlic, salt, and pepper. Get our Creamy Mashed Cauliflower recipe.

10. Cauliflower Hummus

Chowhound

If you’re on a keto or other low-carb diet, hummus might be something you miss. Luckily, cauliflower can take care of that craving too—well, okay, it’s not exactly the same as the usual chickpea hummus; in fact, it’s a whole lot different, what with goat cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, and Boursin in the mix. But it is creamy, fluffy, delicious, and perfect for dipping all your favorite veggies. Get our Cauliflower Hummus recipe.

11. Vegan Macaroni and Cheese with Roasted Veggies

Chowhound

A creamy vegan cheese sauce can be achieved in more than one way, but we like to puree coconut milk, nutritional yeast, and toasted walnuts before cooking them into a complex, creamy, and completely dairy-free sauce. It’s so good you’ll be licking the spoon, but pour plenty over pasta mixed with roasted cauliflower, broccoli, and caramelized onions too. (Even if you’re not vegan or dairy-free, it’s a great idea to add the roasted veggies to your next batch of mac and cheese.) Get our Vegan Macaroni and Cheese recipe.

It’s July 31st! Not only is it the last day of July, and Harry Potter’s Birthday, it’s also National Avocado Day! What a day!

In celebration we’ve collected 12 of our favourite I Love Vegan recipes that use avocado. ‘Cause who could love avocado more than vegans do?

Let’s get started!

Gotta start with a classic, guacamole! A great dip for tortilla chips or crudité, makes a delicious dressing for Taco Salads, and a great addition to vegetable wraps, sandwiches, burritos & burrito bowls, and tacos.

Flavourful marinated tofu, crispy crunchy slaw in a creamy, garlicky avocado dressing complete with a zesty kick of lime, all wrapped up in warm naan bread.

Spicy, crispy roasted Creamer potatoes drizzled with the most luxurious and addictive Lemon Garlic Avocado Aioli. Mmm!

This Vegan Goddess Bowl is full of flavour and textures! This bowl includes brown rice, spinach, chickpeas, cucumber, carrots, avocado, toasted pecans, and dried cranberries with a creamy and tangy Tahini Goddess Dressing. It’s highly nutritious and satisfying with 14 grams of plant-based protein, 13 grams of fibre, and big dose of vitamins and minerals. The Vegan Goddess Bowl is ready to eat in less than 20 minutes. This is a great lunch or dinner for meal prepping or taking on the go!

These easy vegan potato tostadas are simple and straightforward to prepare. The flavourful spiced potato filling is made with a simple blend of pantry staples: onion, garlic, red chili flakes, paprika, and chili powder. Messy, crunchy, and loaded with fresh toppings, these vegan tostadas are perfect for casual summer meals! 40 minutes total, completely customizable, and perfect for prep-ahead meals.

Crispy fried tacos filled with smoky cumin-spiced potatoes, pico de gallo, avocado, tomato, and cilantro. Super easy and insanely delicious!

A spicy whole food lunch bowl loaded with avocado, veggies, beans, and rice.

A super easy grill-friendly recipe that’s bursting with summer flavours! Mango chili tofu, crisp veggies, sweet mango, and a creamy combination fresh avocado and lemon-y cashew crema make for a seriously flavour-packed vegan burger.

A crispy-crunchy, amazingly flavourful, veggie-loaded taco bowl with avocado and all the fixins’.

A deliciously simple spinach salad with seasoned tofu, tomatoes, basil, avocado, and pumpkin seeds.

This 30 minute roasted vegan lunch bowl is made up of 5 delicious components: Chili-lime kale, quinoa, garlic roasted broccoli, roasted sriracha chickpeas, and curry roasted sweet potatoes.

This salad is hearty, nutritious and satisfying! The combo of creamy avocado and sweet potato, spicy peanut sauce, quinoa, and crunchy romaine and pumpkin seeds makes for a wonderful mix of flavours and textures. The mix of warm and cold makes this the perfect salad for the cold winter months.

Happy National Avocado Day! I wish you only perfectly ripe avocados and lots of love today! ♥
