Not like any other red pepper you have ever tasted, guaranteed! Authentic piquillo peppers originate from the Ribera del Ebro region of Northern Spain. The Piquillo peppers, meaning "little beak" for their distinctive pointed shape, are picked and produced almost entirely by hand, using no chemicals in the washing, roasting, and peeling process. Slow roasting over open wood fires gives these unique peppers a complex, rich, and teasingly spicy-sweet flavor.

Piquillo peppers are very versatile and can be used in many applications. Try cooking, roasting, or sautéing with them. Put them in salads, or stuff them with tuna or other favorite foods.

Navarra is known for big ripe juicy vegetables. It is also the home of the running of the bulls and the St. Fermin festival in which the Cabazones or big heads are worn throughout the streets. Our Matiz Navarro piquillos displays one of these well known symbols of Navarra.

These exquisite anchovies, packed in the finest Spanish olive oil, are hand-packed according to traditional methods using carefully selected fresh fish harvested off the Cantabrian Coast in northern Spain.

The anchovy, a traditional food of the Basque Country, is a mainstay of this region's fishing economy. The Spanish name "boqueron" comes from the size of the anchovy's mouth or boca, which is large in proportion to the rest of the body. Anchovies are typically harvested in the spring when they accumulate the most fat and flavor. Small nets are used to protect the quality of the fish and reduce by-catch. Once caught they are gutted, placed in barrels with salt-layer separations and weighted. Once the fish has matured, about 3-7 months, it is washed to remove bones and skin, and canned with high quality olive oil.

Anchovies are high in Omega-3 fatty acids which help in the prevention of cardio-vascular disease and reduce cholesterol. They are also rich in iodine, calcium, Vitamins A, D, B12, B6, B2 and unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid.

  • 100% natural.

Back in stock mid-June, 2013.

The Savini family business is world famous for their truffles. Since the 1920s, the family tradition of handcrafted truffle products has passed down over four generations.

During the harvest, the truffle gatherers collect both large and small truffles. The biggest ones are sold fresh to restaurants, while the smaller ones, with equally impressive flavor, are sliced and through a very special proprietary method, preserved in this olive oil. The flavor is identical to the fresh truffles, with the added benefit that you can keep them in your kitchen for more than a year unopened and thus can have "fresh truffle flavor" anytime on a moment's notice.

These sliced truffles are of the highest quality and the Savini family ensures the origin of each and every truffle. This guarantees both the freshness of the product and the 'shelf life'. Every jar shows a "best by" date so you know you are getting the freshest truffles available.

  • Start your day off with a perfectly cooked egg and some sliced truffles.
  • Stuff sliced truffles under the skin of a chicken before roasting.
  • A few slices on freshly cooked pasta is perfect.
  • A few slices on hot seared or grilled scallops is otherworldly.
  • Mix them into your risotto 15 minutes before it is done to make truffle risotto!
  • Save the olive oil, and you have authentic truffle oil!

Ingredients: 62% Italian black truffle (Tuber aestivum Vitt.), olive oil, salt, aroma, garlic, aromatic herbs, spice.

1888 is made by using a one-ton press to extract the juice from whole Spanish olives. That's it:

  • no additives
  • no fillers
  • just real olive flavor without the salty aftertaste

1888 is so pure that it has 60% less sodium content than other "martini juices". You get to enjoy the healthy benefits of olives and, of course, the delicious pure olive taste.

There are OTHER mixers on the market but if you look at the ingredients, you will be hard pressed to find one that is actually made from olives. The majority of the OTHER products you see on the market are nothing more than three ingredients: Water, Salt and Lactic Acid. Where are the OLIVES in these other mixes? I want my martini with olives, not salt water. And the liquid in the olive jar is nothing more than this salt water with a hint of olive flavor from the olives that are sitting in it.

1888 is created through a special process which presses the olives in order to extract the true flavor from the Spanish olives.

  • Perfect for your dirty martini (of course!).
  • Use it as a marinade for chicken.

The Griottines® recipe uses the Oblachinska Morello cherry which is only grown in the Balkans and has a unique taste. At harvest, each cherry is picked by hand, leaving the stalk behind. A rigorous sort process controls the size and within 6 hours of harvesting the first maceration occurs. This preserves the special flavor and physical properties of the cherries. The Morello cherries and the liqueur, through natural osmosis, become something magical. Another sort process selects only the top cherries before the pits of the cherries are removed. This is a very special process wherein the pits are removed through the hole left by the missing stalk. The cherries look whole but do not have the pit. These depitted cherries are then macerated in different liqueurs for different time periods based on a secret, traditional recipe. They are delivered to you for maximum enjoyment!

Flame-Roasted-Green-Chile-Med-16oz.png New Mexico Green Chile (Roasted and Diced) (16oz)

The Hatch Valley is in Doña Ana County, New Mexico, United States. It is located just off Interstate 25 about 40 miles northwest of Las Cruces, NM and approximately 80 miles northwest of El Paso, TX. The valley was formed millions of years ago from the flooding of the Rio Grande River. This flooding delivered rich mineral deposits that give the soil its special ability to produce a unique, flavorful chile. In addition, at an elevation of 4,000 feet, the rare mix of hot summer days, cool nights and ample water create the perfect growing conditions.

The Hatch chile is not actually a distinct variety of chile. It belongs to a group of long, green, mild Anaheim-type chile peppers that are especially prized for their superior quality. This pepper has a short season of only six weeks, and is harvested during late July and August. The fruit appearance is long and curvy and the pods range from 4” all the way to 12”. They are firmer than the Anaheim variety and have a greater range of flavor. They have a wonderful smell in their raw state and are wonderful when roasted.

  • Extra Fresh — our chiles are picked & flame-roasted during harvest, then perfectly sealed to maintain that great flavor.
  • All Natural — we use only natural ingredients to preserve the just-picked flavor.
  • Gluten Free.
  • Zero Trans Fat.
  • Authentic New Mexico — all our chiles come from the Hatch Valley in New Mexico!

Rarely seen outside of New Mexico, we are proud to be New Mexico based and able to ship this wonderful chile anywhere in the world. Read this wonderful article: Is New Mexico Hoarding All the Good Chile.

Ingredients: New Mexican Green Chile, Lime Juice, Garlic Salt.

oscietra_royal_caviar.jpg Calvisius Oscietra Royal Caviar "Acipenser Gueldenstaedtii" (8.75 ounces)

Caviar Connoisseurs will certainly appreciate this delicious and creamy caviar with a color ranging from dark-brown to grey and light amber. The roe is a medium-large size. This is a 100% real "Malossol" style (from the Russian word which means "low in salt") caviar.

Opening a Calvisius caviar tin is an emotion: since the first moment, when you look at the medium-sized, dark amber roe, you know it’s not a regular caviar but a first-class product. This is the reason why top airlines companies such as Lufthansa serve Calvisius during their flights. That nutty smell is just an anticipation of the taste: a creamy and extraordinarily soft-tasting caviar, lightly fruity and sweet. Feel the delicate "poppy effect" on the palate, then wait for the taste explosion all through your mouth.

Back in stock July 2013.

The Griottines® recipe uses the Oblachinska Morello cherry which is only grown in the Balkans and has a unique taste. At harvest, each cherry is picked by hand, leaving the stalk behind. A rigorous sort process controls the size and within 6 hours of harvesting the first maceration occurs. This preserves the special flavor and physical properties of the cherries. The Morello cherries and the liqueur, through natural osmosis, become something magical. Another sort process selects only the top cherries before the pits of the cherries are removed. This is a very special process wherein the pits are removed through the hole left by the missing stalk. The cherries look whole but do not have the pit. These depitted cherries are then macerated in different liqueurs for different time periods based on a secret, traditional recipe. They are delivered to you for maximum enjoyment!

Back in stock late May, 2013.

The Hatch Valley is in Doña Ana County, New Mexico, United States. It is located just off Interstate 25 about 40 miles northwest of Las Cruces, NM and approximately 80 miles northwest of El Paso, TX. The valley was formed millions of years ago from the flooding of the Rio Grande River. This flooding delivered rich mineral deposits that give the soil its special ability to produce a unique, flavorful chile. In addition, at an elevation of 4,000 feet, the rare mix of hot summer days, cool nights and ample water create the perfect growing conditions.

The Hatch chile is not actually a distinct variety of chile. It belongs to a group of long, green, mild Anaheim-type chile peppers that are especially prized for their superior quality.

clams_conservas_cambados.jpg Almejas - Clams from Galicia (Conservas de Cambados)


Back in stock June 2013.

My life just changed!!

Generally, I am a "Take them or leave them" person with regards to clams. If they are in a dish, I'll eat them, but I never add them to a dish, so I definitely would not seek them out. These are incredible, life changing, so good I ate a whole can for lunch today, clams.

Conservas de Cambados is based in Galicia in Northeast Spain. This is the region of the Arousa Ría, which is well-known not just for its size, but also for the richness of its marine life. This area is particularly suitable for harvesting clams, cockles, mussels, and other bi-valves.

Each family lays claim to a 100 square foot section of sand and seeds the area with baby clams. These nurseries, known as "bateas", are very valuable and respected.

Conservas de Cambados takes great pride in selecting only the plumpest, tastiest clams. They hand harvest, then carefully cook these clams in sea water. They are individually packed into the tin, and the tin is filled with fresh, pure, salt water. The end result is amazing.... the freshest clams you will ever have the pleasure of eating.

Ingredients: Clams, water and salt

4 ounces (111 grams) in a metal tin. 16-20 per tin.
