MALIN+GOETZ x Carbone Fine Food Launch Limited-Edition Tomato Supercandle

Strike a match, simmer a sauce and transport your senses to the heart of Italy. MALIN+GOETZ and Carbone Fine Food are thrilled to announce a limited-edition collaboration: Tomato Supercandle. This small-batch release captures the essence of authentic Italian cooking, inspired by MALIN+GOETZ's cult-favorite tomato scent and Carbone Fine Food's commitment to premium pantry staples.

Following the success of MALIN+GOETZ's Tomato Home Spray (August 2024), this exclusive candle unites MALIN+GOETZ founders Matthew Malin and Andrew Goetz's love of gardening, with Mario Carbone's deep-rooted passion for exceptional ingredients. That same dedication is evident in his Carbone Fine Food sauce line - made with the finest tomatoes and time-honored techniques to bring the flavor of Carbone into kitchens nationwide. The result: a bright, verdant interpretation of tomato, capturing the earthy, comforting aroma of sun-ripened tomatoes with the inviting warmth of a vibrant kitchen.

"In our garden upstate, we love to grow tomatoes – they are the 'pièce de résistance' of the summer vegetable season," says Matthew Malin and Andrew Goetz. "There was no better partner to bring our Tomato Home Spray launch to life last year, other than Carbone & Carbone Fine Food. To celebrate, we hosted an intimate tomato-inspired dinner at the restaurant  and gifted everyone the classic Carbone Fine Food marinara, with a bespoke MALIN+GOETZ label. Following the success of our initial collaboration, the launch of our supercandle was the obvious next step." 

This collaboration brings together the rich, sensorial experiences that both the MALIN+GOETZ Tomato Candle and Carbone Fine Food sauces offer. While the sauces bring the flavor of Carbone into your kitchen, highlighting the sensory joy of cooking, from the rich aroma of simmering tomatoes to the cozy ambiance of a home filled with warmth and intention, the Tomato Candle brings a fresh and verdant scent that opens with a beautiful mélange of freshly-picked herbs – aromatic basil, calming lavender and cool mint leaves – and highlights the aroma of a flourishing vegetable garden in late summer.

The limited-edition packaging features Carbone's heritage graphics, including their iconic illustration of the Greenwich Village flagship restaurant, paired with MALIN+GOETZ's signature typography, a core pillar of the brand's design aesthetic. Poured into a custom double-walled glass vessel, complete with a functional lid, the three-wick candle is designed for 80 hours of high-quality burn time. Once finished, repurpose your vessel as a bespoke keepsake, statement piece, or functional part of your home.

"The perfect scent. It's a tastemaker's secret edge, and it's inside this limited-edition candle. It's lifestyle design that embodies my passion for the finest ingredients, exquisitely crafted," notes Mario Carbone.

Crafted in small batches, the Tomato Supercandle will be available starting August 18^th exclusively on malinandgoetz.com and in MALIN+GOETZ apothecaries nationwide for $205.
