In 2010, this “comeback” pepper earned Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status from the World Trade Organization, becoming to pepper what Champagne is to sparkling wine or Prosciutto di Parma is to ham.
Harvested by hand at full maturity, and then cleaned and sun-dried, these whole peppercorns are the flagship product of the PGI appellation. Its unique taste is less spicy than black peppercorns, and offers sweet notes of red fruits, prunes, dates, and honey. Its exotic perfume is amazing on your salads and main courses. For a special treat try it on strawberries or pears, where its delicate aroma can really shine, and don't forget to try it in chocolate, from ice cream to brownies to chocolate ganache... A fun and tasty treat!
The Kampot red and white peppers are extremely rare peppers because of the difficulty in harvesting them at the right moment at full maturity and the need to have a large enough workforce to pick these peppercorns by hand.
Read more about it in articles by NPR here, the BBC here, the Seattle Times here, and the New York Times here.
Ingredients: 100% Red Kampot Pepper (Piper Nigrum)
50 gram (1.76 ounce) recyclable pouch
Most white pepper is produced from black peppercorns, so they must sometimes soak for several weeks to remove the envelope, giving the white pepper a strong and unpleasant aroma.
White Kampot Pepper is one of the few peppers in the world to be produced from the full-grown red corns. The red corns are picked one by one on the bunch. They are then washed, threshed and spend a night in a tank of clear water. The skin surrounding the kernel is then very soft and can easily be removed. The corns are washed several times and sun-dried for two to three days.
It stands out by its creamy white to beige color and its real, pure pepper aroma. It can be ground fresh on grilled fish, shrimp, scallops, and shellfish like clams and oysters. We also love it on chicken. White Kampot Pepper will give a wonderful flavor to your sauces and broths.
Ingredients: 100% White Kampot Pepper (Piper Nigrum)
Kampot Black Whole Peppercorn is recognized as one of the best peppers in the world.
The organic corns are harvested by hand, and then sorted according to density and size. PGI rules state the individual corns must be greater than 4 millimeters in diameter. Only these large, dark black corns can be sold under the name Kampot Pepper.
This Kampot Black Pepper is grown traditionally and organically.
Kampot Black Pepper is the spiciest of our Kampot peppercorn offerings. Freshly ground, it is perfectly suited for your dinner table.
Ingredients: 100% Black Kampot Pepper (Piper Nigrum)
Fresh Salted Pepper can be eaten alone as an aperitif and used to salt nuts as a snack. We advise you not to cook it, just possibly heat it slightly at the end of cooking or in a sauce, so that it keeps its crunchy texture. It is perfect sprinkled on top of meats such as beef or duck, and will surprise your guests in a chocolate mousse or on ice-cream or grilled fruits.
The green peppercorns are washed and blanched and undergo a complex process of fermentation with Kampot sea salt. This fermentation reinforces the flavor that is like the fresh green pepper eaten fresh in Cambodia. Traditional recipes in the Kampot and Kep regions use a lot of fresh green pepper (Kep crab or prawns fried with green pepper, as well as many salads and local dishes). Green pepper cannot be kept fresh and must be eaten within 3 or 4 days so this salting process preserves the same flavors so it can be delivered to you!

Kampot Red Long Pepper, "Piper retrofactum", is a flowering vine of the family of peppers, originally from Java, Indonesia. The first reference to long pepper appeared in Indian textbooks of Ayurvedic medicine, where its medicinal and dietary benefits are described in detail. Very popular in Roman and Greek times, it was one of the first spices to reach Europe, from the 6th or 5th century BC.
We love this sweet & spicy peppercorn on sauteed fruits like pears and pineapples, on salads, chicken, and fish, or tossed whole into a slow braise.
These do NOT fit in a standard peppermill so we suggest you use a mortar and pestle, or grate it.
Ingredients: 100% red long pepper
100 gram (3.53 ounce) recyclable pouch
Fruits of the long pepper are harvested by hand, still green and before maturity. They are washed and blanched and undergo a complex process of fermentation with Kampot salt. Developed at La Plantation, this fermentation reinforces the flavor that is like the fresh green pepper picked and eaten from the pepper tree.
It can be eaten alone or cut into thin slices on a salad, on fruits and according to your inspiration.
These do NOT fit in a standard peppermill so we suggest you use a mortar and pestle, grater, or sharp knife.

The Shun Classic Brisket Knife is the perfect tool for a barbeque or family feast. It's ideal for trimming and slicing larger cuts of meat, including brisket, ham, turkey, and roasts. The Shun Classic Brisket Knife's long, narrow blade makes it easy to cut slices in a single pass to ensure more of the juices—and flavor—stay inside the meat. The long, razor-sharp blade means slices will look perfect since there's no need to saw back and forth. Hollow-ground indentations on the blade help food release more easily and the rounded tip makes the knife safer and easier to use. The included wooden saya, or sheath, protects the blade and makes it simple to transport to a barbeque or celebration taking place away from home.
In addition to their clad blades, The Shun Classics also feature the uniquely stable "D" shape handle design.
This stunningly beautiful line of classic cutlery features the look and benefits of Damascus steel, yet without its rusting problems. The Damascus-look blade profile reduces sticking and results in less damage to the food being cut and faster prep times.
Our apologies but Shun does not allow us to offer coupons or additional discounts on their products.

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, clams. Are they a bit pricey? Yes so really just for a special occasion, but wow, it makes that occasion REALLY special!!
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.

The Savini family business is world famous for their truffles. Starting in the 1920s, and continuing to this day, the family tradition of handcrafted truffle products has spanned 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 olive oil. The flavor is identical to the fresh truffles, with the added benefit that you can keep them unopened in your kitchen for more than a year, and thus can have "fresh truffle flavor" anytime on a moment's notice.
These sliced black truffles are of the highest quality, and the Savini family ensures the origin of each and every truffle. This guarantees both the quality and freshness. Every jar shows a "best by" date so you know you are getting the freshest truffles available.
Ingredients: 50% Italian black truffle (Tuber aestivum Vitt.), olive oil, salt, truffle flavor, garlic, herbs, spice.
Shelf stable. Refrigerate after opening.

Tenuta Sant’Ilario is a farm located between the sea and the mountains, and stands on a green hill overlooking the sea. It was founded in 1982 and, although it has grown in technology and manufacturing, it has always remained a small, family run business.
Tortiglione is an ancient heirloom olive variety that is widespread in the areas of Teramo and part of Pescara. The name “tortiglione”, or twisted, comes from its clockwise tortile trunk of the olive trees. The tortiglione olive is not suited to mechanical harvesting, it bruises and tears easily, so it is always harvested by hand. The variety is recognized as Biennial bearing, and thus may not be made in every year. Tortiglione olives are late ripening, providing an oil rich in polyphenols (antioxidants), which indicates high quality. This varietal typically has a spicy flavor profile.
This extra virgin olive oil is 100% Tortiglione.
This is the second time this EVOO has ever been imported to the USA, only 96 bottles. We were lucky enough to be allocated 12. GRAB THEM!

"Acquerello is the Rolls Royce of rice." - Alain Ducasse
"Acquerello is one of the very last authentic products." - Frédy Girardet
We are the only direct to consumer retailer of the 7 year aged Acquerello Carnaroli rice. All the rest of this rare and fabulous product goes straight to prestigious restaurants around the world!
One of the key points to perfection is the aging process. To age properly, the freshly harvested crop must be stored, as long as possible, in unique steel silos at a constant controlled temperature, because during this period the starch, combined with the oxygen, optimizes its culinary characteristics.
Acquerello is the rice grown, aged, whitened, and packed in Italy on the Colombara farm by the Rondolino family.
It is the ultimate rice: first the unhusked rough rice is aged to perfection for at least seven years, then it is whitened slowly using "The Helix" where grains rub gently one against the other, and finally it is restored with its most precious element, the embryo or germ. This re-enrichment of the refined rice with its germ restores the most valuable nutrients of brown rice.
Known as the "king" or the "caviar" of Italian rices, Carnaroli is the preferred risotto rice in most regions of Italy. Acquerello Carnaroli rice is classified as "Extra rice" for its quality. In order to preserve its characteristics perfectly, Acquerello rice is vacuum sealed in unique enameled tins.
Carnaroli rice keeps its shape better than other forms of rice during the slow cooking required for making risotto. For instance, Arborio rice is widely available, and sometimes suggested, for risotto. We are not fans of Arborio for risotto. Compared to Arborio, Carnaroli rice has a smaller grain size, and higher starch content. This means Carnaroli can absorb larger amounts of liquid, and thus flavor, from the wine and broth, without overcooking. So your risotto is more flavorful when you use Carnaroli rice. Also, the higher starch content in Carnaroli rice guarantees an ultra-creamy texture that is the hallmark of a superior risotto.
Acquerello's grains stay perfectly intact, absorb flavors exceptionally well, do not bind together, and do not lose starch, proteins, or vitamins. Therefore your risotto is fully consistent, tasty, creamy, and not sticky. Acquerello risotto will always be outstanding.
Acquerello is used in the finest restaurants around the world:
The Carnaroli rice cultivated at Colombara, being the only variety sown since 1997, is 100% pure and therefore produces uncontaminated Carnaroli seeds.
Once you have tried it, you will never look back!

Strawberry tarts are brought to the next level when using these wild, semi-candied whole strawberries.

The Griottines® recipe uses the special Oblachinska Morello Cherry. This cherry is only grown in the Balkans, and is known for its unique taste. During harvest each cherry is hand-picked, leaving the stalk behind. A rigorous sort process selects the best cherries, and within 6 hours of harvesting the first maceration occurs. This artisanal process, and attention to detail, 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 perfect cherries. The pit of each cherry is then carefully 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!

J. Leblanc has changed little since 1878, the year it was founded. It is still run by a Leblanc, Jean-Charles, grandson of the founder. It is still located in the southern most village of Burgundy, Iguerande, and it still manufactures the highest quality, small-batch, handcrafted nut oils in France.... if not the world.
J. Leblanc starts with the careful selection of the absolute highest quality whole nuts available, grown on many of the same farms that J. Leblanc has been doing business with for generations. For each batch of oil about fifty-four pounds of nuts are ground into a paste using the huilerie's original granite mill. In order to guarantee an even roast, this paste is constantly stirred in a roaster for 10 minutes. The roasted paste is then transferred to a mechanical press where it is divided in half and separated with filter cloth. The oil is expressed at 22,000 pounds of mechanical pressure. After pressing, the oil rests from seven-to-fourteen days to allow the sediment to settle before bottling. This is a labor, and time, intensive process which produces only 300 liters a day. These nut oils are pure, unadulterated, unfiltered, and unrefined.
J. Leblanc nut oils are made to order.
One of the most important facts about Huilerie Leblanc's production is not the "how" but the "when". Since Huilerie Leblanc does not have large storage facilities, or refining capabilities, production takes place when orders come in - guaranteeing the freshest nut oils delivered to your door. It's not only a difference you can taste - in their clean, bright, and deep flavors, but also extends their longevity by up to a year.
In the United States, J. Leblanc is finding its way to renowned restaurants like The French Laundry, Mandalay Bay, Delfina, Campanelli, One Market, 231 Ellis, and Hawthorn Lane to name a few!
Please refrigerate J. Leblanc nut oils after opening.

Antonino Mennella is a passionate young extra virgin olive oil producer from the Salerno area of Campania, Italy. On his small 2,000-tree farm he produces this limited edition Raro ('rare') extra virgin olive oil by removing the pits of the Ravece and Rotondella olives, and then only pressing the remaining fruit. This process is known as "denocciolate".
This pitting before pressing is unique, and it creates an extraordinary extra virgin olive oil unlike any other you will find.
Antonino uses advanced pressing and processing technology to produce a super extra virgin olive oil with double the average content of polyphenol antioxidants, and an astoundingly low level of free oleic acid. As a result, this extra virgin olive oil has almost the same level of freshness as an olive still on the tree.

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 have matured, a minimum of 6 months, they are washed to remove the bones and skin, and then canned in high quality olive oil.
Anchovies are high in Omega-3 fatty acids which reduce cholesterol and help in the prevention of cardio-vascular disease. They are also rich in iodine, calcium, Vitamins A, D, B12, B6, B2, and unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid.
Ingredients: Anchovies, olive oil, salt.

The Shun Premier Chef’s Knife is part of the beautiful Shun Premier line, which calls to mind the hand-forged knives of ancient Japan. While each knife still takes at least 100 handcrafted steps to complete, the materials Shun uses are among the most advanced in the industry. Each blade has a cutting core of Shun's proprietary VG-MAX “super steel” to take and hold a precision edge. The layered Damascus cladding supports the core and provides additional stain resistance. Near the edge of the blade, where the steels meet, an undulating line is formed—similar to the hamon formed when samurai swords are tempered using a traditional clay-baking technique. The hammered tsuchime finish acts like a series of hollow-ground cavities to reduce drag. The handles nestle comfortably in the hand, while the embossed end cap adds balance and beauty.
The Shun Classic 2.5-in. Bird's Beak knife is the classic tool for making decorative cuts—such as radish rosettes or fluted mushrooms—as well as for cutting out blemishes, peeling, and slicing soft fruits such as nectarines or plums. The curved shape lets you cut close to the peel, keeping more of the fruit or vegetable you are peeling. The Bird's Beak is also called a tourne knife for the highly sculpted tourne cut that this precise little knife makes possible. It's a specialty knife to be sure, but if presentation is important to your cooking, you will want to make this knife part of your collection.
If you’re one of the many cooks who prefer a larger chef’s knife, the Shun Premier 10-inch Chef's Knife would be an excellent choice for you. Because of Premier’s thinner, lighter blades, you'll find that this larger chef’s knife handles just as easily as a smaller one, while still providing the longer cutting edge you want. Professional chefs often choose a longer blade length in order to handle an increased volume of product and improve efficiency in the kitchen. The Shun Premier 10-in. Chef’s Knife handles everything from small to large foods. The wide blade helps keep knuckles off the cutting board and is very handy when transferring cut food from board to pan. The curved belly makes rocking cuts easy, too.
The Shun Classic line features beautiful Damascus-clad blades and D-shaped ebony PakkaWood® handles. Yet behind these handcrafted knives' beauty is function: razor-sharp blades offering top performance. Shun's proprietary high-performance VG-MAX steel, which provides incredible edge retention, is clad with Damascus stainless steel, then ground and bead-blasted, revealing the flowing pattern of the layered steel. The result is a line of knives that are sharp, durable, and corrosion resistant, as well as beautiful to behold. The Shun Classic line also offers you the widest assortment of both traditional culinary blade shapes and cutting-edge designs, so you can always find the right knife for the task.
For boning, the narrow, sharp, curved blade gets in close to the bone, making it easy to separate meat from bone. Even fibrous tissue is no match for Shun's extremely sharp edge. It's perfect for trimming the silver skin from a tenderloin or roast or even making your own cutlets. The narrow blade reduces the drag as you cut against the meat, so cutting is fast and easy. When it comes to filleting fish, the blade's six-inch length is just right to glide through the body of the fish, quickly removing bones and skin.
Also called a tomato knife or a sandwich knife, the Shun Classic 6-in. Serrated Utility Knife is a blade with many uses. In size, it's between the chef's knife and the paring knife, but its blade is narrower and straighter. The serrated edge makes it ideal for slicing foods with somewhat tough skins and soft interiors—such as avocados. It works well on sausages, especially those with tougher casing, and with hard cheeses. The Shun Classic Serrated Utility Knife is wonderful for a multitude of small tasks where more precise cuts are needed.

Penja white pepper is a type of white pepper grown in the volcanic soil of the Penja Valley in Cameroon. This soil is rich in minerals due to the presence of volcanic soils, and that gives Penja White pepper a unique and pure taste.

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.
Scallop rillettes?? Aren't rillettes for duck, goose, pork, and other land animals? We thought so too, until Groix et Nature introduced us to their line of seafood rillettes!!
This light and smooth spread, similar to pate, has a hint of sweetness, like all great scallops, while delivering the pure taste of fresh sea scallops. We love the inclusion of parsley, shallots, butter, and cream to create this rich delicacy.
It is great on a baguette as an easy appetizer, as a spread on sandwiches for lunch, with the addition of our capers and some lemon peel powder or fresh lemon zest, plus a grind of fresh black pepper.
One of the most popular products in the Groix & Nature collection, these rillettes will melt in the mouth and impress even the most particular gourmand.

Sea urchin is a gastronomic delicacy. Conservas de Cambados extracts, and cleans, the whole roe before gently placing it in the tin with its own pure sea water. It is often served plain so one can experience the delicate, natural, exquisite flavor and texture.
Since the waters are cool in Galicia these urchins grow slower, are smaller, and have a more concentrated flavor than the uni you are familiar with out of California. The flavor is more similar to Japan's Hokkaido region than California's Santa Barbara area.

WuWanWo means "forget me not", an apt name for a product with unique origins and an unforgettable flavor. WuWanWo is a collaborative effort between Piranske Soline and Taiwanese soy sauce makers. They weave their centuries-old traditions together to create a soy sauce with a sweet, oceanic aroma, and meaty taste.
This precious sauce is produced using only indigenous black soybeans, Piranske Soline sea salt from the Piran Salt Pans in Slovenia (a very famous salt source), brown sugar, and natural seasonings. This soy sauce is produced with absolutely no preservatives and it uses all non-GMO ingredients. Its balanced yet complex flavor is achieved through a 180 day natural fermentation in traditional terra cotta pots. The sauce is simply extracted from the pots and bottled.
It is an excellent umami foundation for marinades and salad dressings, and it elevates sashimi, sushi, spring rolls, tempura, dumplings and other light dishes to new heights your taste buds have never imagined.
This "Harmonious" soy sauce is characterized by a balanced, meaty flavor. Try it with sashimi, sushi, spring rolls, tempura, or dumplings, in marinades and salad dressings, and other light dishes.
This was featured in "The Rosengarten Report" where he said:
"...it is extraordinary! Also made with non-GMO black soybeans, no wheat, and a 180-day fermentation, it is simply one of the most complex soy sauces I’ve ever tasted. The flavors are umami from not just Slovenia, but maybe even Mars (including an incredible blast of mushroom-like intensity). It’s very, very salty (as if to emphasize the Slovenian connection), but it finishes in the mouth with a lovely roundness. I love it for crudo: I buy me some very fresh fish, slice it sashimi-style, and gloss it lightly with Hei-Jin and extra virgin olive oil. Of course, feel free to use it in high-level Chinese and Japanese cooking as well.”
Note they have lowered the salt content a bit since that review, and now the labels say "light salt" in order to reflect the new formulation which is, to us, even better.
250 milliliter glass bottle

The production of Bomba rice is limited as it is very delicate and hard to grow. Its size is equivalent to that of short grain rice, sometimes even smaller, yet Bomba rice more than doubles its size when it is cooked. Its main characteristics are its great capacity to absorb flavors and aromas, and that when cooked it is always “al dente”, loose, and whole; it is never sticky, mushy, or fluffy.
It is the preferred rice for paellas!

The belly or "Ventresca" of the Bonito del Norte Tuna is the softest and most delicate part of the fish. It presents a much lighter and sweeter palate than the rest of the flesh of the fish, and is considered an exquisite delicacy.
Bonito del Norte is found in the coastal waters of the Bay of Biscay in the Basque region of Spain during the summer season when they come north to dine on the Cantabrian Anchovy. The Bonito del Norte is the most valued member of the tuna family, highly appreciated for its white flesh, exquisite flavor, and delicate texture. This Ortiz specialty is fished using artisanal fishing techniques with the philosophy that we must preserve our earth and its resources. Each tuna is individually line caught and not netted. They are fully dolphin safe.
Within 24 hours of being caught,the best belly fillets are selected, cooked in seawater, and then hand-packed in olive oil to keep them moist and flavorful.

This harissa, unlike so many on the market that are overwhelmingly spicy just to be spicy-hot, is ALL ABOUT FLAVOR, with just enough zing to keep it interesting.
You can even buy one jar of the regular, and one jar of the mild, and do your own custom blend to adjust the heat level to your own particular recipes and personal taste preferences!
