Lobster Rillettes (Groix et Nature)
Lobster Rillettes (Groix et Nature) Be the first one to write a review

Rich Breton lobster meat and Kari Gosse, a 19th century blend of curry spices that compliment seafood (including ginger, turmeric, cloves, pepper, and cinnamon), come together in this decadent recipe. Enjoy on a crusty baguette with a glass of champagne.

YES we were also concerned to see ginger, turmeric, cloves, pepper, and cinnamon, thinking they would overwhelm the lobster. After trying it, we were surprised, this is actually the most delicate of the Griox & Nature seafood rillettes! These spices may add some umami or similar feel, but they are not in the flavor profile.

Keep this in your pantry for a quick easy snack or appetizer for unannounced guests.

Fully cooked, ready to eat.

Refrigerate before opening.

Serve chilled but not ice cold.

Gourmet Delights Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Umbria)
Gourmet Delights Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Umbria)
Average rating:
average rating 97%

We are so proud to be able to offer you our own branded extra virgin olive oil. Our goal was simple, to find an amazing extra virgin olive oil from Italy for daily use. We asked for it to be full bodied and delicious. We also asked for a price point below $35.

The wonderful people at Trampetti came through with their leccino/frantoio olive blend. They continue to meet the highest standards, as one would expect from Trampetti, and meet our goals as well.

The Trampetti farm is located in the prestigious Assisi-Spoleto hills of Umbria’s “gold coast” olive zone. There Massimo Sisani, third-generation descendant of Eugenio Trampetti, and Federico Bibi, Umbrian agricultural specialist, dedicate themselves to the production of one of the finest organic extra virgin olive oils in Italy. Same day, state-of-the-art mechanical (vs. chemical extraction which is inferior) processing of early hand picked olives results in an extra virgin olive oil with intense yet harmonious palate.

Trampetti’s high polyphenol levels (indicating quality of fruit) and low free oleic acidity levels (indicating freshness) have perennially put it at the top of all Italian extra virgin oils.

Produced and bottled by Trampetti with olives grown, harvested, and pressed at the Trampetti Estate in Italy.

Black Garlic Sauce (Kanzuri)
Black Garlic Sauce (Kanzuri) Be the first one to write a review

An inspiring Japanese style chili sauce that highlights the incredible hidden taste of black garlic and Shio Koji.

This traditional Japanese chili condiment—made from red chilis, tart yuzu peel and koji (rice mold best known for its role in producing sake and miso)—is citrusy, bright, and a little funky. The sweet and earthy black garlic rounds out the flavors. On the palate, that sweetness is what leads, followed by a rich, musty, fermented flavor; it finishes with a lingering kiss of heat.

Try a squeeze on chicken wings, hamachi crudo, or cold soba. We love it on seared scallops too!!
