Florian Candied Cherries

Florian Candied Cherries

The process of candying fruit is time consuming and nerve-racking; what with making sure the sugar concentration, times, and temperatures are all correct -- not to mention the quality of the fruit. 

Candying cherries for baking is even more complicated since that beautiful red color is very fragile, and can be quickly damaged by heat. 

Florian candied red cherries for baking are made from premium quality fruit and no coating is used after the candying process so that optimum moist texture and natural fruit crunch are achieved.


These gorgeous candied red cherries are packaged immediately to retain their full flavor. They are of the Bigarreaux variety, and these baking cherries are perfect for a whole host of applications.

Candied Fruit for Baking

What are Candied Fruits?

Candied fruits are fruits that have been preserved in sugar through a process that involves soaking the fruit in sugar syrup and then drying it. The sugar draws out moisture from the fruit, preventing spoilage and effectively preserving it. The final result is a sweet, sticky, and sometimes crunchy fruit that retains much of the original fruit's flavor and texture, though it can be more concentrated and sweet.

French Feast

Chateau Virant A.O.P. Olive Oil

$51.95 USD

Sale Restocking - choose Notify me

Amazing Gold Medal Award Winning French Olive Oil! To the nose, it is wild and full of olive and is super tingly to the inner nostril hairs.  The flavor of the oil is distinct, and you can taste it with just a touch. Full of richness, a mouthful will surprise you. It starts like a nice French oil, buttery and vapory, and just as it disappears there is an explosion of olive and just before, if you pay attention, your nose will tingle again, and then you will get this, almost an assault, a large push of tickle, actually a massive tickle that makes you cough. Some might think it is a peppery finish, which it is, yet it is not an Italian peppery kick.

Binchotan

The really hot stuff!

Bincho-tan, also referred to as white charcoal, which is pitch black before and glowing white when it is hot, that would be white hot!The sound of cold bincho-tan knocking against each other has a unique metallic sound. These charcoals are cement-hardened, created from wood that is heated in an oxygen-limited environment kiln over many days to produce optimal carbonization. Wood is fired at gradually increasing temperatures to over 1,000 degrees to refine the process. If the temperature rises too quickly, the wood will burn and crumble. This creates the odorless burning bincho-tan charcoal.

The bincho-tan white charcoal creates infrared rays, which make the surface of the meat crisp and the interior moist. Unlike other heat sources like gas, there is no steam created, which would condense on the exterior of the food, producing a less crispy result.

Col Pabst Malt Amber-Lager Worcestershire Sauce

Just arrived

Col Pabst Malt

Worcester - Wuster or Wooster 

Shire is sure, like New Hampshire (new hamp sure, in case you didn't know) 

The secret recipe for Worcestershire Sauce was concocted by John Lea and William Perrins, two chemists, in Worcester, England in 1837. 

The original is still - well, real - and tastes original. 

The BBC says that there have been over 30 variations of the original Worcestershire sauce sold. As the saying goes ”Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.”

And sometimes you can make something similar but not the same and even make it better. 

Col Pabst All Malt Amber-Lager Worcestershire made in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is better. Way better!

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

Son Premium Fish Sauce Aged 1 Year

The story of Son Fish Sauce is really a love story: boy meets girl, boy wants to give girl the world, boy gives girl anchovies and the rest is history.

Now in its fourth generation, Son Fish Sauce, the dream of one young man in love, has grown to be the largest employer on the Vietnamese Island of Son Rai.

First, let's get past the name yes it is sauce and yes it comes from fish. Anchovies, actually, little tiny fish.

Did you know that Worcestershire sauce is a fish-based sauce?

And did you know that ketchup started as a fermented pile of fish, long before tomatoes were added?

Beautiful Vinegars

Vinegar

Vinegar has a long history dating back over 5,000 years, with its origins tied to the accidental fermentation of wine and other alcoholic beverages.The term "vinegar" comes from the French "vinaigre", meaning "sour wine," as vinegar is essentially fermented alcohol converted into acetic acid by bacteria.Ancient civilizations like the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans used vinegar in cooking, for preservation, and as a medicinal tonic.
