We get excited when we source organic garlic from local farms—especially farms close to our kitchen in Holliston. After all, garlic is our foundational ingredient—and local, organic garlic can be surprisingly fickle to find.

On our 2 year anniversary, I’d like to thank you for your support. SALTY MAMINA is a successful business because of you.

This veggie dip checks all the boxes.

I don’t believe in bland burgers. This espresso-infused grill salt brings real flavor, simple ingredients, and big results to every bite.

Italians don’t wait for tomorrow to eat gelato.

This easy chicken dinner was shared with us by friends and quickly became a favorite. With Mamina’s Garlic Herb Salt with parsley, you only need one simple seasoning to bring big, comforting flavor to the table.

A timeless combination of farm-fresh garlic, sea salt, and pepper, Nonnie’s OG Garlic Salt delivers bold flavor on its own—and shines even more when layered into your favorite dishes.

Could I honor my ancestors and share my Italian family traditions as I build SALTY MAMINA?

Cooking great-tasting food is easy with fresh garlic salt. Try SALTY MAMINA Garlic Salt—fresh, pure, and made with love.

An ode to Marinara

Mom and Nonnie. My Salty Mamina Inspo. Love you dearly.

Indulgent but fitting. A 2:00am breakfast of rice krispie treats and coffee to welcome the birth of little Violet.

A new tradition, small but mighty, with family, neighbors, and lifelong friends. 

Mom was devoted to Dad’s foodieism. So am I—it’s what inspired me to create Armando’s garlic salt.

How'd I do?

Mom’s square pizza was easy to hold. The flop was in the middle. I held my slice like a goblet and ate from the edge.

Dad—entrusted in Mamina's arms—voyaged the great divide between Sicily and the Island of Hope.

We treat sauce like liquid gold. None gets tossed—not even the thick paste left on the inside of the pot after the simmer.

With love and together from the heart, Salty Mamina is born. We’ve reimagined our family’s garlic recipe to pay homage to my Italian heritage.

Where ever the wind takes you and your family, I hope you continue your traditions, relish in new ones of your own making, and have fun with it all.

Mamina means little mother in Italian.
