I just wanted to say I'm so glad you sell Tasmanian Eucalyptus Honey. I spent two weeks in Tasmania in 2018 and got engaged there and this is one of the food-souvenirs I brought home with me. It is my FAVORITE honey ever. I have bought it several times from you and will only buy it from you because I don't trust its freshness or authenticity anywhere else! Until I get the chance to go back to Australia, of course. Wishing you health and thank you again!

ChefShop Cocoa Powder

“ChefShop

This Dutch process 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 wonderful Dutch cocoa powder has a touch of ground vanilla bean. Our regulars know what a great cocoa this is!

This "service pack" of ChefShop cocoa powder, essentially a thick zip-lock type bag, is meant for commercial users like baristas and gelato makers, which is why the packaging is Plain Jane with a label. Like much of the foods and ingredients that go to the back of the house, the contents are more important than being pretty.

Best Cocoa on the Planet!

"I have been using this exclusively for years now. I have a 'secret' brownie recipe that I make with this cocoa, syrup made from the cocoa and only the best ingredients. Everyone goes ga-ga over them. Syrup - so easy to make - anything that calls for cocoa I use this. Sometimes I mix just a touch into my coffee from a treat. If you have not tried this yet you need to. You WILL NOT be disappointed!!!"

The Secret Ingredient Koji

It can transform your food! - Bought some steak, not a great cut, but not a bad one. I koji'fied it for 2 days in a Ziplock bag. The result? It was delicious, with just a hint of sweetness. What you noticed right off and all the way through was how soft it was. We are eating a lot less meat these days, so when we do, I really want it to be special and koji does the job with no work!

Lummi Island Wild Albacore Canned Tuna

" This was hands-down one of the best canned tunas I’ve ever had and it’s not even oil-packed! I was expecting dry and dense, as water-packed tuna often is. This was so flavorful, moist and delicious on its own that I had it straight from the can, with just a small blast of lemon juice. It easily rivals any of the fancy Italian and Spanish olive oil-packed tuna brands. It’s the perfect tuna to build a Salade Niçoise around!!! "

Marilungo Campofilone Pappardelle Egg Pasta

Pasta with Pesto, Green Beans & Potatoes Recipe

This is a classic Italian pasta dish - perfect for the early fall when the potatoes and beans are coming into the market and you begin to have a hankering for heartier fare. Although it is traditionally made with Fettuccine, any long pasta will work - including Pappardelle. 

In this case, the recipe calls for walnuts, as well as pine nuts. If the pesto becomes too thick, you can use some of the pasta water to thin the sauce. Be careful to add the liquid a little bit at a time - after you have combined the pasta, pesto and veggies together so it will not get too watery. It only takes a little.

Pappardelle al Ragu Recipe

This recipe is from our friend Guiseppe who really knows his foods! This is for a wonderful meat sauce to go with your pappardelle.

Yamaki Jozo Organic Shoyu - Soy Sauce

We are very excited to introduce organic Shoyu (SHOW-yu) from Yamaki Jozo. Soy sauce is like great wine or olive oil, with many, many complex flavor profiles. And not all soy sauce is created equally.

Yamaki Jozo Shoyu was founded in 1902 in Saitama Prefecture, about 2-1/2 hours by train from Ueno station in Tokyo. They have three main rules they live by: living and working in the natural environment; using only traceable ingredients grown in Japan; and using traditional manufacturing methods.

Lummi Island Wild Albacore Tuna Wild-Caught Canned Tuna From the Northwest

I want to tell you a wonderful fish story. It started with a trip out-of-state and ended with meeting a neighbor I hadn’t met before. Funny how that works some time. Not exactly a next door neighbor, but a neighbor to the north by about 90 minutes as the car drives…

This was hands-down one of the best canned tunas I’ve ever had— *****

"and it’s not even oil-packed! I was expecting dry and dense, as water-packed tuna often is. This was so flavorful, moist and delicious on its own that I had it straight from the can, with just a small blast of lemon juice. It easily rivals any of the fancy Italian and Spanish olive oil-packed tuna brands. It’s the perfect tuna to build a Salade Niçoise around!!!"

La Trinquelinette Apricot Jam French Apricot Jam
Sometimes unrequited love is worth it!

Outstanding!

"I’ve always been a “strawberry” flavor loyalist. My father used to love apricot jam....I decided after visiting Paris in 2019(thank goodness we went when we did) I’d give this apricot jam a try. Far and away the best quality and flavor....went back to reorder and was too late. Sold out. Says it all right? I used it first on a fresh baked lemon ginger scone from a local Seattle area bakery. Have it on pre-order now. ❤️!"      Shop Now for La Trinquelinette Apricot Jam!


Kishibori Shoyu - Soy Sauce Kishibori Shoyu
Kishibori Shoyu is manufactured by Takesan Company. Takesan was established in early 20th century by Yoshiji Takebe.

Kishibori is located on the small island of Shodoshima in the Seto Inland Sea. 1 of only 14 artisan brewers, the Shodoshima Island-based family-run shoyu brewers are featured in the Netflix series "SALT FAT ACID HEAT".

Wow!

"I so enjoyed the series "Salt Fat Acid Heat", so when I saw that ChefShop carried this, I decided to try it. WOW! I was blown away by the taste and smell of what no-kidding real soyu. I used a small daub on my bean soup, a splash in my sautéed greens--it has such a bright umami taste--you can use this for any dish that you want to add a more complicated salty flavor. Really yummy!"
-- alice

Worth every cent

"This is by far the best soy sauce ever. Regular grocery store sauces taste like an entirely different product. Kishibori is rich, complex, and full of that elusive umami flavor. Highly recommend!"

Chesnok Red Organic Hard-neck Garlic Chesnok Red
Organic Hard-neck Garlic

There are over 300 varieties of hardneck and softneck garlic grown in the world. In grocery stores today, softneck is the most common. It lasts a long time and travels well, which is why much of the garlic sold everywhere is softneck.

Hardneck garlic is more akin to wild garlic, and with that there is more garlic flavor, different flavors, spicy hot flavors. Altogether hardneck is lovely garlic.

There are many subspecies of hardneck garlic. The five main varieties we sell include: Rocambole, Purple Stripe and Porcelain.

Hardneck garlic is easy to peel, often with giant cloves. This garlic is the best!

Cold Mountain Dry Rice Koji Cold Mountain Dry Rice Koji the secret ingredient!

Easy to use with incredible results

"After hearing about Shio Koji, a lot, it was time to give it a try. With Cold Mountain Koji it was as simple as adding the Koji rice, some water and salt. After 10 days +1 it was ready. Since then I have tried it on and in just about everything. Fish, meats, vegetables, anywhere I would normally add a dash of salt, including on my eggs. The effect has ranged from subtle to profound. This is my new secret ingredient. Combine it with a good soy sauce for even more effect in stir fry or fried rice. Marinate meats before grinding them into sausage or even in burgers. The possibilities are many. If you are into fermenting then definitely give this a try. You will be back for seconds..."

Chateau Virant AOC Olive Oil Chateau Virant AOC Olive Oil Amazing Gold Medal Award Winning French Olive Oil!

To the nose it is wild, full of olive, and is super tingly to the inner nostril hairs.

The color is a light yellow green, without any dark shadows or edges on the spoon.

To the tip of the tongue there are some great wonderful soft touches. It feels good. The flavor of the oil is distinct and you can taste it here 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 if you pay attention, your nose will tingle again, and then you will get this almost assault, a large 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.
