Caramiele: Natural Honey & Hazelnut Spread (ADI)1

Please click on the product image to read the customer reviews
Average rating:

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 focuses 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

• Fabulous when drizzled on pears.
• Great drizzled on nuts (walnuts, almonds, etc).

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.

• Try them in this Ceviche Con Tostones Recipe!
• Mix it with lime juice and whisk to drizzle over freshly sliced avocado for an afternoon snack or nice appetizer!
• Make a paste and marinate your fish, chicken or pork before cooking.
• Avocado and Grapefruit Salad with Aji Panca Vinaigrette
• The fruity characteristics and mild heat also work great with chocolate, whether incorporated into a chocolate sauce or baked into a cake or cookies, it will add that extra dimension and "WOW" factor!
• Dark Chocolate-Panca Spiced Baked Empanadas

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.

Griottines (35cl)14

Please click on the product image to read the customer reviews
Average rating:

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!

The lavender specific to Provence has become emblematic of Provence. In this picturesque region of southeast France, lavender is found everywhere: alongside homes, in public parks, and alongside the roadways. Lavender runs cinematically for miles in gently rolling fields crowned with stunning, resplendent blue blossoms over which bees hover, getting their fill. In July, the scent of lavender wafts throughout the entire region, putting one in a restful, optimistic state of mind (lavender is famously stress-relieving).

Yet surprisingly, pure lavender honey hard to find. It is expensive to produce because it requires a lot of bee work: lavender flowers are small and don’t yield much nectar. So beekeepers instead encourage multi-floral grazing. Knowing this, when our longtime Provençal pâtes de fruits producer started making these pure lavender honey squares, we jumped on it. These soft, tender, honey squares are made exclusively with iconic yet rare French lavender honey. The taste transports you to the fields surrounding Aix-en-Provence in July.
