Unlike any other red pepper you have ever tasted, guaranteed! Authentic Denomination of Origin (D.O.) Piquillo Peppers originate from the Ribera del Ebro region of Northern Spain. Piquillo Peppers, meaning "little beak" for their distinctive pointed shape, are picked and produced almost entirely by hand. 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.
Ingredients: Denomination of Origin Lososa Piquillo peppers, salt, citric acid.

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 natural fermentation in traditional terra cotta pots for 180 days. The sauce is simply extracted from the pots and bottled.
It is an excellent umami foundation for marinades and salad dressings, and it will elevate your dishes to new heights your taste buds have never imagined!
This "Rich" soy sauce is characterized by bold, meaty flavors. Try it with stir-fried vegetables, rice, steamed fish, seafood, stewed or grilled meats, and in barbecue sauces and glazes.
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.”

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.

Saveur Magazine said Bonito tuna is "one of the great gastronomic pleasures of every day life."
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.
We use it for:
We know you'll agree, this is very special tuna indeed.

This Casina Rossa extra virgin olive oil with black truffles (Tuber Aestivum which is the summer black truffle found in Europe) is aromatic yet subtle, extremely versatile, and great on risottos, pastas, pizzas, and popcorn! A real piece of truffle is in every bottle.
Nicola DeLaurentiis and his wife Paola operate Casina Rossa in the Abruzzo region of Italy. They are driven to tirelessly invent, improve, innovate, and refine their products.
Casina Rossa produces this extra virgin olive oil with black truffle by traditionally cultivating and harvesting Gentile, Intosso, and Ghiandaro olives from their family-owned trees. By coupling these traditional methods with modern continuous cycle processing, they produce a first class extra virgin olive oil. Try this extra virgin olive oil with black truffle on antipasti, risottos, and pastas.
Produced and bottled by Casina Rossa with olives grown, harvested, and pressed at the Casina Rossa Estate in Italy.
Do not be fooled by other truffle oils that use grape seed, sunflower, safflower, or even "olive oil"... if they went cheap on the oil you know they went cheap on the truffle. Demand "extra virgin olive oil," the best. Plus those other "truffle oils" do NOT have actual pieces of truffle in them, another cost cutting step which gives your truffle oil a chemically taste. So they went cheap on the truffle too.
Only buy truffle oils, like this one, that use extra virgin olive oil and that have actual pieces of REAL TRUFFLE in EVERY bottle. That way you can guarantee you will get the pure truffle flavor you expect, and demand.
It is a difference you can taste!

"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!

It is the ultimate rice: first the unhusked rough rice is aged to perfection for at least one year, 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.

In a mild mini-climate near the town of Guèrande in the cultural region of Brittany, France there are centuries old salt fields. In this unique location the currents of the Atlantic run cleaner than in many of the other salt harvesting regions of France. As a result, Guèrande produces the best sea salt in all of France.
Hand-harvested during the fall, grey sea salt contains minerals which give the crystals a warm pewter color and earthy flavor. This natural sea salt is not treated or washed and thus it retains beneficial trace elements such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, copper, iron, zinc, and iodine. Sel Gris is an everyday table salt at French bistros and in modern kitchens. Use this textured, briny sea salt for all your cooking needs. It is great as a base for rubs as its coarse, large grains work their way into the meat and thus add remarkable flavor.

On warm, breezy afternoons from May to September, an artisan paludier (craftsman salt harvester) like Gilles Hervy can "sweep" the crystallized top of the evaporating sea water. This harvested salt, the Fleur de Sel, is the most delicate, purest part of the saline. What remains and crystallizes throughout the rest of the season is the Sel Gris. For every 80 pounds of Sel Gris produced, they can harvest only one pound of the precious Fleur de Sel.
Fleur de Sel is an all-natural sea salt from Brittany, France. It is unprocessed, unrefined, and unadulterated. It does not contain anti-caking or anti-flowing agents. It is known as the "Caviar of Salts".
The Gilles Hervy family (husband, wife, two sons, and a daughter) sells the best, most consistent quality Fleur de Sel in the world.

We have always wanted to carry a French mustard made with Banyuls Vinegar. We thought of importing such a mustard except the 100% import tax made the price seem ridiculous. It is good, but is it $25 good? Maybe, but who wants to pay $20+ for mustard? So we finally decided to make our own in the classic French tradition.
This is a coarse mustard with our Vinegar of Banyuls (La Cave de l'Abbe Rous), a touch of water, mustard seeds, sea salt, and a dash of turmeric to keep the color. We not so humbly admit that we love this more than similar imported mustards, and can bring it to you at 1/2 their cost!
We use it on hotdogs, sausages, hamburgers, and when combined with fresh oregano, freshly minced garlic, Fleur de Sel Sea Salt, freshly ground black pepper, and extra virgin olive oil, we have the perfect marinating rub for lamb.
We think this is fantastic and something you'll be proud to have in your kitchens!

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.

Piment d’Espelette is famous for its modulated, food-friendly heat as well as its "sweet red pepper" perfume, which bring wonderful layers of flavor to your dishes.
The A.O.P. (Appellation d'Origine Protégée) designation means that this coveted spice can come only from the tiny, 22-square-kilometer region in and around Espelette, the French Basque town in a hilly, verdant region near Bayonne. The restricted area and precarious weather conditions of the Basque region limit the supplies of this precious spice.
Commercial cultivation of this spice originally began as a product of housewives’ gardens. Women grew the peppers in small quantities for home meals and sold the excess for pocket money. In fact, Marie-Jeanne, the mother of our producer at La Maison du Piment, Vincent Darrichion, was one of those women! She launched her family into the espelette business from her own kitchen garden.
The entire harvest is done by hand. The toil begins in late March, when the seeds must be sprouted in the greenhouse. Then in April, the seedlings are teased apart and placed into individual pots where they are tended in the greenhouse until they are about 18 inches tall. When the size is right, they are hand planted in the field. The peppers are like "indeterminate" tomatoes in that they ripen over a period of time. So the harvest can take a month or more, with many passes through the fields, as the farmer individually snaps or cuts the stem of each ripe pepper, being very careful to keep the top of the pepper intact so it will not be subject to rot. After the harvest, the peppers go back to the greenhouse where they are sun/air dried on wooden trays. The final step in this artisanal slow-drying process involves stacking these trays in a low-temperature oven for several hours to achieve the perfect texture.
The A.O.P. rules strictly govern the growing area, cultivation practices, drying protocol, and the size (mesh) of the Espelette powder itself. A.O.P. thus guarantees you are getting authentic Piment d'Espelette!
Ingredients: Piment d'Espelette Powder A.O.P.

Aji Limo is a chili grown and used mostly on the northern coast of Peru. The pod is 2-3 inches long and changes from a yellow to deep reddish-orange color when it ripens. Aji Limo is spicy (a heat level of 8 on a scale of 10; 60,000 Scoville units) and is primarily used to prepare ceviche and rice dishes. It is also wonderful as a base for chicken and pasta recipes, and a perfect way to add an extra flavor dimension to stew and chili.
To create a paste, remove the stems and soak ajis in water overnight. Drain and mix ajis in a blender with salt, pepper, garlic and extra virgin olive oil. For a more mild paste, remove the seeds and veins before blending. You can freeze the paste for longer storage as necessary.
Ingredients: Organic Limo chili.

We proudly announce our 100% Grass Fed, Pasture Raised Lamb Tallow. If you don't know about Lamb Tallow keep reading as this is one baa-d tallow. Some people find that lamb, in general, has a flavor that many in the west find a bit bit overpowering. But when it comes to the tallow itself, there is very little "gaminess" and it is in fact a traditional fat with a very subtle, mild (and did we mention delicious) flavor, making it ideal for sauteing your favorite leafy greens, roasting vegetables, and pan frying any and all meat. Lamb Tallow adds a piquant depth to soups and stews and of course, let us never forget the amazing and spudtacular things tallow can do to a potato! In fact, any root vegetable will roast or fry beautifully with Lamb Tallow. It would be easy to go the "meat and potatoes" route, however, if you are up for a little culinary adventure we suggest baking with Lamb Tallow, only because it makes for some of the most delicious, savory pies! And we didn't even mention the whole new world of Middle Eastern cuisine that is just a jar away with Lamb Tallow. (This beloved tallow is even used as a secret ingredient in traditional baklava recipes.)
Tallow is really as versatile as you make it. It is even used to make great lotions and soap.

José Páez Lobato is a family enterprise that specializes in the making of fine sherry vinegar. The Bodega, or cellar, was founded in 1933 by Francisco Paez Sanchez, and is now managed by his sons.
This 50 year old sherry vinegar is characterized by its amber color, delicate smell, and unique taste... all of which are due to a careful and prolonged aging process. Gran Capirete is aged in American Oak barrels, and the solera that gave birth to it was established in 1946 (so it is actually 72 years old!). It has an unforgettable flavor, with a hint of nuttiness. This vinegar is drier than balsamic vinegar and has an acidity of 8º.
The production and quality of sherry vinegar is monitored and controlled by the Consejo Regulador, and sherry vinegar has its own Denominacion de Origen (D.O.) which is protected by Spanish and EU law. This vinegar carries the D.O. Vinagre de Jerez stamp of approval.
Its complexity and depth of flavor greatly enhances soups, stews, sauces, casseroles, marinades, and dressings.

From their home base in the Abruzzo Region of Italy the Iacovanelli family, ADI’s owners, care for their bees with strictly organic techniques that blend solid traditions with contemporary innovation. They only harvest their honey when it is fully mature: when flavor, color, aroma, and nutritional content reach their peak.
The bees collect their pollen from the early spring blooms of the luxuriantly hanging flowers of Robinia Acacia trees. This Acacia honey is delicate and floral, and it stays liquid all year long. Perfect for baking, flavoring tea and coffee, and making syrups and dressings.
8.8 ounce (250 gram) glass jar
This is a rich, dark amber and liquid honey from the chestnut tree flowers of the Abruzzo hills. We love this savory honey as it is perfect for glazes, pairs wonderfully with Taleggio and Fontina cheeses, and is great on roasted meats. It is also incredible on radicchio, on squash, and in pumpkin soups.
