1888 is made by using a one-ton press to extract the juice from whole Spanish olives. That's it:
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.
Contains no alcohol.

Chef Alessandra Innamorato has lovingly smoked these naturally salt cured, Greek and Sicilian olives over apple wood and finished them with a touch of hickory. Inspired by her years of living in Barcelona where you find large vats of delicious, crunchy garlic in all the markets, she then pickles the smoked olives with fresh garlic, a secret herb and vinegar blend, lemon, white wine, and chili de arbol for a kick.
These are addictive and go great in Bloody Marys along with making an extra dirty Dirty Martini.
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!

HimalaSalt™ was created 250 million years ago, during a time of pristine environmental integrity. Hand-harvested from a protected source deep within the exotic and remote Himalayas, HimalaSalt remains free of impurities, unlike refined table salt or salt from today's widely polluted oceans.
HimalaSalt's rare, gorgeous pink color stems from its naturally high content of wholesome essential minerals, of which our bodies are made and require for wellbeing. HimalaSalt™ is never heat treated or processed, it is slowly stone-ground to retain its full potency of rich essential minerals, delicious, full flavor, and health giving alkaline properties.
HimalaSalt's crystals are hand-selected for the highest quality in color, clarity, and purity. We only use Himalayan crystals that are clear, rose, or pale pink in color. The darker red chunks, while beautiful, are too high in minerals for daily consumption, stressing the kidneys. We pass these crystals on to the artisans who make lamps and other home goods. All of HimalaSalt's pink Himalayan sea salt crystals are hand-harvested from a protected source deep in the Himalaya Mountains, using centuries old artisan methods that do not include the modern practices of dynamite blasting or child labor.

Our Organic Heirloom Long Peppercorns are shade grown in Bali and hand-harvested in the monsoon forest.
With delicious notes of cardamom, nutmeg, and a hint of chocolate aroma, this highly prized heirloom is exquisite when ground heavily in melted garlic butter as a dip for steamed artichokes, and it works beautifully to bring out flavors in fish, game, and vegetable grills. It is heavenly in the most delicate sauces, soups, stews, and for flavoring clear broth.
We recommend a mortar and pestle, or a spice grinder for these. The long peppercorns are very hard, so a normal pepper mill, while somewhat effective, is not great. The flavor in your meal is worth the extra effort!

Basic Spherification is best for obtaining ravioli and other spherical preparations with an extremely subtle membrane, magical on the palate. It can also obtain spherical caviar. The preparation needs to be done immediately, since once the sphere has been submerged in the bath of Calcic, gelification does not stop and in the end it turns into a compact ball.

Reverse Spherification is extremely versatile, since it can make spheres with almost all products. It is best for products with high calcium or alcohol content.
The spheres obtained are very stable and long-lasting. Thanks to these features, the ravioli can be used as fillings for sponge cakes or mousses, to give a sensation of “coulant”.
One each of the Algin, Gluco, Xantana and Eines at 13% off their individual prices.
All you need to begin your Spherification and Reverse Spherification just like Ferran Adria at El Bulli. Consists of one of each of the following: Algin, Calcic, Citras, Eines, Gluco and Xantana at 10% off the individual prices.
A natural product extracted from brown algae (of Laminaria, Fucus, and Macrocystis genera, among others) that grow in cold water regions of Ireland, Scotland, North and South America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, etc. Depending on the part of the algae that has been refined, the texture and Calcic reactivity of each alginate varies. For this reason, we have selected Algin as the ideal product for achieving spherification with guaranteed results.
Characteristics:
500g
This product is a calcium salt traditionally used in the food industry, for example in cheese making. Calcic is essential in the reaction with Algin that produces spherification. It is the ideal reactant for its high water solubility, considerable calcium content, and consequently great capacity for producing spherification.
600g
A product made from sodium citrate, obtained mainly from citrus; it is usually used in the food industry to prevent darkening of cut fruits and vegetables. It has the property of reducing the acidity of foods, and using it makes it possible to achieve spherical preparations with strongly acidic ingredients. Dissolves easily and acts instantaneously.
Spherification is a new process that uses a very specific technique. For this reason, the tools used for this purpose have been subjected to numerous tests. The Eines pack contains the most useful tools for each step in spherification.
Once the desired shape and size are determined, the right tool must be chosen: Syringes are used to create drops that make spherical caviar. For larger preparations (mini-spheres, ravioli, gnocchi, balloons), Dosing Spoons must be used. Collecting Spoons are used to remove and wash the spherical preparation from the Calcic bath.
Tool kit contains:
8 pieces in total
Gluco consists of calcium gluconolactate, a mixture of two calcium salts (calcium gluconate and calcium lactate) that produces a product rich in calcium and perfect for the technique of Inverse Spherification, while adding no flavor whatsoever to the food under preparation. In the food industry calcium gluconolactate is used to enrich different foodstuffs with calcium. Gluco was chosen for its excellent behavior in spherification processes.
Xantana is obtained from the fermentation of corn starch with a bacteria (Xanthomonas campestris) found in cabbage. The result is a gum with great thickening power. It also has notable potential as a suspensoid, which means that it can maintain elements in suspension in a liquid without their sinking into it. It can also retain gas.
