U-NA NUMA EVOO

To the nose, the first whiff is definitely olive oil. To the eye, it’s a very delicate yellow green color that is quite enticing. The first sip is light banana-eee, with some very light hints of artichoke and avocado with the overall feeling of a cloud. It all disappears very quickly. That wonderful bitterness transitions a nice, gentle but very present, tickle and a cough is produced in the back of the throat. That is a pretty special quality...

Balsamic Vinegar

In its authentic formulation, balsamic vinegar is a thick voluptuous syrup, the perfect melding of sweet and sour laced with deep, exotic caramel undertones. It was initially formulated as a “balsam,” or medicinal elixir for kings and emperors and was a prized commodity whose recipe was closely guarded by its producing guilds in the 12th and 14th centuries.

Don't Know Beans?

Check out our beans

Not all beans (in a can) are created equally. I know because I have been testing them religiously for months now. And I can tell you there are ones (cans) that let you know hours later, or sometimes even sooner than that, that you have eaten them and then they continue to remind you, continuously, for what can seem like eternity.

Organic Moroccan Saffron

75,000 BLOSSOMS!

According to Greek mythology, there are a few variations to the story as to the origins of the Crocus flower. It appears that the nymph, Smilax, was involved in a relationship with the mortal, Krokus, who, with a bit of bad luck, was turned into the flower that produces Saffron.

Saffron is harvested from the fall-flowering plant, Crocus sativus, which is a member of the Iris family. It is native to Asia Minor, where it has been......

Back-in Stock ChefShop Cocoa Powder

And NEW!

New! We have spent the last 2 years looking and testing for a new ChefShop cocoa powder to replace our original recipe and venerable favorite which is no longer available.

This Deep Dark Dutch-processed dark unsweetened cocoa powder is in a class unto itself. We have removed less fat from our cocoa (22-24% fat content), which results in a more intense and immediate chocolate flavor.

This "service pack" of ChefShop cocoa powder is designed for commercial users like baristas, bakers, and gelato makers. It is sealed in a thick zip-lock style bag for production baking with a Plain Jane label. Like many of the foods and ingredients that go to the back of the house, the contents are more important than being pretty.

And price relative to quantity is also a crucial

  • Nunez de Prado Organic Olive Oil Flower of the Oil Single Estate

    Nunez de Prado Organic Olive Oil

    Extra Virgin Olive oil from gravity extraction but before the olives are pressed through mats. Unfiltered with very low acidity (0.1%) - much lower than required to be called "extra virgin". Blend of fourteen varieties, principally Picuda, Picual and Hojiblanca.

    Remove the oversized cork, which is quite satisfactory and easy too.

    The smell is wonderful, just as you would want a newly opened bottle of olive oil to be!

  • Les Terroirs De Marrakech Olive Oil

    Les Terroirs De Marrakech Olive Oil

    With three ticks of the second hand and the burn sets in and three coughs and you know you have a wonderful olive oil.

    With a full feel, the tip of the tongue gets this great olive taste, almost as if you are eating the olive from which it came. I love the feel of this Moroccan olive oil. Delightfully full of flavor, yet so clean the oil evaporates leaving a wonderful memory.

  • Spedalotto Tonda Iblea Olive Oil - DOP

    Spedalotto Tonda Iblea Olive Oil - DOP

    The first whiff and it smells just like you want it to! The richness of olives with a hint of tang. Pour a little into a snifter, swirl it around and draw in the aroma! Wow! Lovely!

    There really is nothing like the oil that's pressed right after the annual olive harvest.

    It's the blend of olives in varying states of ripeness, in this case Tonda Iblea olives from a winery estate in Sicily.

    The first sip of oil off a spoon is full of rich, buttery, olive flavor!
