A unique oil with a mildly toasted, nutty flavor. It is known as "the golden oil."
The Argan tree is unique to the South Western corner of Morocco and is called the "tree of life" due to the importance of this tree, and its fruit and oil, to Moroccan traditions and culture. This remarkable organic Argan oil is made by cold pressing the seeds inside the nut of the Argan fruit. It takes 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of fruit to produce just 1 liter (33.8 fluid ounces) of oil, meaning it is an extremely labor intensive oil to produce.
Once the fruit ripens, it is harvested and laid out in the sun to dry. The flesh of the fruit is removed, and the hard shell of the nut is cracked to remove the almond shaped kernels inside. These are gently toasted and, once cooled, ground in a stone ‘rotary quern’, similar to a stone pestle and mortar. The resulting nut paste is then massaged by hand to extract the luscious oil.
Rich in Vitamin E and linoleic acids, and with a high unsaturated fatty acid content (over 80%), this unique organic Argan oil is full of health-giving properties. Vitamin E promotes healthy hair, skin, and nails, and the unsaturated fatty acids are great for keeping the heart healthy and lowering cholesterol levels. Initial tests indicate it may reverse the metabolic changes that occur from a high sugar diet, thus being a natural aid in the fight against diabetes; and the high levels of antioxidants show promise in fighting cancer. It is light in color with a reddish tinge and it is milder in flavor than sesame or walnut oil, yet its taste is distinctly nutty. Traditionally used for cooking tagines and dressing couscous, organic Argan oil also adds a unique and wonderful flavor to salads and other North African dishes.
A few serving ideas:
This organic Argan oil is suitable for vegans, vegetarians, and is gluten-free.
Rural Moroccans always knew Argan oil was good for you, inside and out. They actually rub their faces with their hands after eating a couscous dressed with Argan oil. In the spirit of that tradition, we can also recommend it for its beauty uses!! Since this oil is organic AND "food grade" it is higher in quality than those other "cosmetic grade" oils on the market today.
This product may not be suitable for nut allergy sufferers.

One of the most common types of aji (chili) in Peru, Aji Panca is 3 to 5 inches in length and has a thick flesh that matures from a green to dark red in color. Distinct from the other ajis in its spiciness, Aji Panca is mild in heat intensity (a heat level of 2 on a scale of 10; 1,500 Scoville units) and provides a fruity, berry-like flavor that goes well in stews, sauces, and fish dishes.
Aji panca is so sweet, so berry-like, that it can be finely chopped or ground into a powder and tossed into foods to add a sweet, mild heat.
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 Panca chili.

Aji amarillo, or amarillo chili, is the most common type of aji and is one of the most important ingredients in Peruvian cooking. It has a heat level of 7 on a scale of 10 (50,000 Scoville units). It is great in combination with meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, pasta, and rice dishes, and is used to season nuts.
The unique flavor of the Aji Amarillo makes it worth seeking out and incorporating into your cooking. Even though it is a "chili pepper" it has a lot of fruitiness combined with its heat, unlike poblanos or jalapenos which can be harsh. It is a very versatile chili, suitable for everyday use as it will complement your dish without overwhelming it.

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.

From their home base in the Abruzzo Region of Italy, the Iacovanelli family (ADI's owners) cares 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.
ADI focusses on organic honey which provides for a strict selection of wild flowers and plantations planted on pesticide-free areas, hives built with natural materials, and a process of honey extraction through centrifugation without adding sugar, additives, or food coloring; and they also never pasteurize thus preserving the pure, natural flavors you expect and demand.
Caramiele is a naturally sweet breakfast, pastry, or dessert spread created by blending sweet golden Acacia Honey with creamy and rich IGP Piedmont hazelnuts. This spread is evocative of caramel but with a nutty and complex finish. It is high energy, all natural, and best paired with fresh fruits, soft cheeses, or ice cream.
Ingredients: acacia honey, hazelnuts
This Cherry Blossom Honey is a pale, opaque, and creamy honey with a complex sweetness. We think it is excellent with smoky or sheep’s milk cheeses, Japanese green teas, and pastries.
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.

It's no exaggeration to say Schmaltz gives potatoes and other root vegetables a flavor that is beyond anything most of us have experienced. If potatoes could talk to Schmaltz they would say, "You complete me!" This Chicken Schmaltz is made with 100% Organic Free Range Chicken (which ain't easy to find!) and is rendered with the typical care and passion that you would expect from FatWorks.

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 provide 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.
La Madonna dell’Olivo has optimal levels of vitamin E tocopherols, and Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. This extra virgin olive oil has a remarkably well balanced flavor profile and is thus a ‘double winner’ -- an elixir of good health with amazing flavor.
This is a deep, intensely fruity extra virgin olive oil with irresistible aromas.
"My objective," says Antonino, "is to fight uniformity and exalt differences." Try this Raro Extra Virgin Olive Oil and you will see exactly what he means!
Produced and bottled by La Madonna dell’Olivo with olives grown, harvested, and pressed at the La Madonna dell’Olivo Estate in Italy.
The Castillo de Canena Estate has produced exceptional extra virgin olive oils in the Guadalquivir Valley of Andalusia in the south of Spain since 1780. This exceptional smoked oil is artisanally crafted by slowly infusing their high quality, hand-harvested, Castillo Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil with naturally produced smoke from a mix of organic oak, beech, and birch woods. When you open the bottle you will smell, and taste, exquisitely smoked Arbequina with undertones of caramel, vanilla, and toffee. This unique oil is divine on its own, or you can pair it with your favorite recipes to add a smoky component to your dressings, marinades, and final dishes.
In order to produce this wonderful, exquisite, cutting-edge cold smoked extra virgin olive oil, Castillo de Canena designed a unique process. Their burner allows the wood chips to slowly smolder. The smoke is then cooled, and passed through a water filter. They then slowly, over the course of 6 hours, release the cold smoke into the bottom of the tank which holds the Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil. This artisanal process naturally imparts the smoky flavor and aroma into the oil.

The Castillo de Canena Estate has produced exceptional extra virgin olive oils in the Guadalquivir Valley of Andalusia in the south of Spain since 1780. The 'Royal' olive varietal is an ancient variety native to Jaén, Andalusia. In the 19th century its low-yields caused many olive oil producers to abandon it as it was not commercially viable. The Royal Olive was on the brink of extinction until Castello de Canena planted it at their estate, thus saving this heirloom olive for future generations to enjoy.
FIRST-EARLY ROYAL is harvested early in the season when the olives reach their peak flavor and aroma.
This is a deep green, medium-bodied, extra virgin olive oil with fresh and intense fruitiness. On the palate it is balanced, round, and shows a smooth entry, with all the flavors in perfect harmony.
The ancient heirloom Royal olive varietal produces one of the rarest extra virgin olive oils in the world. Buy a bottle and experience the extraordinary flavors only Canena's First-Early Royal can achieve.
This is the 11th occasion that the Vañó family has released a special edition "First Day of Harvest" (Primer Día de Cosecha) extra virgin olive oil to capture the very purest flavors of the olive crop. Just ripe olives, pressed within hours of harvest, create this extra virgin olive oil that is exploding with flavor!
Each release is commemorated with a unique bottle label, each designed by a different established name from Spain's creative community. For 2016, Castillo de Canena partnered with the film director Álex de la Iglesia to create a new label that clearly reflects his personality as a fan of First Day of Harvest extra virgin olive oils as well as of the world of comic books.
“It was very interesting and good fun to work on this project as the production of First Day of Harvest brings to the world of extra virgin oils the same magic, feelings and passion that the characters in my films and my books convey,” said Álex de la Iglesia, a great supporter of Spanish cuisine.
Furthermore, the filmmaker also confessed his passion for exotic food. “I love Vietnamese, Thai and Brazilian food, and it’s amazing how these delicious Castillo de Canena oils can fuse with these types of recipes to create the most amazing dishes,” he explained.
The Flos Olea Guide 2017 names Castillo de Canena the “Best Oil Producing Company in the World.” It has also selected the company’s extra virgin olive oils as the best on Earth, giving them the maximum possible score (98 points) for the 5th year in a row. These achievements put the Castillo de Canena extra virgin olive oils among the top 20 in the world.
The First Day of Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oils are two very robust oils coming from specially selected plots. These oils have potent personalities, excellent sensory qualities, extraordinary fragrance, harmony, and elegance.
By taking extraordinary steps to hand-harvest early, yielding about half the oil that would be obtained if the olives were left on the trees to mature another week, the Vañó family of Castillo de Canena offers us this rare treat, the best of the best. To have such vibrant, flavorful, First Day of Harvest extra virgin olive oils is an incredible pleasure.

Salish is a fine grain sea salt that is cold smoked over real Northwest red alderwood to give a clean, natural smoky flavor. No artificial flavors, colors, or liquid smoke is used to create this beautiful salt.
Salish refers to a cultural or ethnographic designation of a subgroup of the First Nations or Native American cultures in British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon who speak one of the Coast Salish languages. As the first inhabitants of the Pacific Northwest, they have used the red alderwood of the Northwest to smoke meats and salmon for hundreds of years. We are proud to be able to bring to you this salt, created in the ancient Northwest smoking tradition.
Salish gives food a genuine smokehouse taste on or off the BBQ.
The ultimate for cooking fish, chicken, or steak. We love it on salmon, fresh avocado slices, creamy pasta dishes, and it is great in soups!
