Featuring a Stunning Purple “Grappa” Hue, Brushed Gold Finishes & a Signature Mustache Engraved Handle
[October 1, 2025]
Say goodbye to boring cookware. Larder & Vine® has partnered with pasta-slinging, flavor-obsessed Chef Joe Sasto in a new collab to launch an exclusive line of enameled cast iron cookware - and yes, it’s every bit as bold as his cooking.
Meet the Joe Sasto x Larder & Vine Collection, featuring a signature new color: Grappa - a rich, regal purple inspired by wine-soaked Italian dinners and late-night sauce sessions. Trimmed in brushed gold and finished with Sasto’s iconic mustache engraved on the lid knob, this line is as much a statement piece as it is a kitchen essential.
The collection launches under our campaign, “Breaking the Rules,” inspired by Sasto’s upcoming cookbook (out October 21). It’s a call to ditch tradition, cook with guts, and let creativity lead. The bold new hue and the rebellious new recipes we’re serving up are proof: in this kitchen, flavor wins—and rules are optional. Sear. Simmer. Sasto!
What’s in the Collection?
Round Braiser with Lid: Your MVP for browning, braising, simmering, slow-cooking, roasting, and of course, FOCACCIA.
Bonus: The enameled cast iron lid is interchangeable with the Chef’s Pan.
Chef’s Pan with Tempered Glass Lid & Steam Vent: Deep enough for slow-cooking, nimble enough for searing, sautéing, tossing & simmering your next signature dish (or Tuesday night dinner) and of course, PASTA.
Bonus: The glass lid is interchangeable with the Round Braiser.
Skillet: Ideal for frying, crisping, melting, baking, toasting, and sneaking in a batch of midnight SWEET TREATS.
Performance Meets Personality!
