Located in an inspiring spot in the crystal clean air of the western Alps of France, the folks at Savoie have been making pasta products for over 160 years, honing their methods and crafting high-quality gourmet food. This couscous is prepared from fine French durum wheat using a special process that evokes a great nutty flavor and renders it a gorgeous golden color.

Cooking up fluffy and light, this couscous is a fantastic versatile dish, because you can smple add butter and salt for a easy snack, or use this as a base for a side dish featuring veggies, or an entree mixed with proteins. Try tossing with cubed squash, sliced zucchini, fresh garlic, and olive oil; sprinkle with parmesan for added flavor. Make with grilled shrimp and lemon or try with cubes of roasted chicken and spinach. Make a cold tabouleh salad, or mix with sugar snap peas and steamed carrots and cauliflower.
