Roasted Shishito Sauce (Kanzuri)
Roasted Shishito Sauce (Kanzuri) Be the first one to write a review

An inspiring Japanese style chili sauce that highlights roasted shishito peppers, garlic, and Shio Koji.

Inoculated rice, salt, and water ferment to produce a burst of umami that keen chefs are using to impart memorable flavors into their menus.

Pickled chili pepper mash, roasted shishito peppers, yuzu zest, and garlic are combined with the shio koji and the result is an exciting condiment that captures spice, a touch of smoke, the zip of garlic, floral citrus, and a hint of yeast.

We love this on seared scallops, pork and chicken skewers, and chicken wings. A few drops on pot stickers really adds some extra pizazz, and of course a drizzle in a bowl of Pho or Ramen is other worldly.

Chargrilled Octopus in Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Gueyu Mar)

A perfectly grilled octopus, transporting you to the grilling grates on Vega de Ribadesella Beach. Open, eat, enjoy!

The labels are fun, playful, and often have double meanings. Grilling over the embers of previously burned charcoal is "Abrasado" while being hugged is "Abrazado." You will see a play on both themes on the label artwork.

Abel Álvarez is elevating the tinned fish game. His restaurant on the northern coast of Asturias was deemed one of Spain's "Templos del producto" and now we can enjoy the Gueyu Mar experience anywhere, anytime. In addition to loving tinned fish, he saw canning as a great opportunity to employ the staff from his tiny seasonal restaurant year round.

Eat it straight out of the can, plate it as is, or use it in recipes. It tastes great in every way. However, Abel recommends heating ever so slightly at low temperature for maximum expression. Years of R&D combined with trial and error have made this type of chef driven gastronomic experience accessible to all.

Also save the delicious juice in the can, dip in a crusty baguette, whisk with a drizzle of olive oil to create an aioli or mayonnaise, let your imagination run wild.

Average rating:
average rating 100%

The annual tasting of freshly pressed olive oil is a generations old tradition in Italy. Green olives are harvested, and pressed just in time for the holiday season. Unlike other olive oils, these Novello (meaning new or fresh in Southern Italy; in Northern Italy they use the term Nuovo) extra virgin olive oils do not spend any time in the settling tank which yields a zesty olive oil. One must taste these truly fresh extra virgin olive oils and experience their fabulous vibrancy in order to understand why food loving Italians look forward to the yearly Novello release!

Unfiltered

Produced and bottled by Giuseppe Fois “Accademia Olearia” (Olive Oil Academy) with olives grown, harvested, and pressed at the Giuseppe Fois “Accademia Olearia” (Olive Oil Academy) Estate in Sardinia, Italy.
