Heritage Shortbread - Medium Box

This buttery, crisp - but slightly moist - shortbread is handmade by Willow McCrain in South Carolina's Lowcountry region. It's baked to a golden brown and its texture and flavor border on the sublime. Willow uses only the best ingredients -- and you can tell. We like our shortbread to be crisp when you bite into them, but not hard. And these shortbreads do not disappoint! 

Willow uses an old family recipes -- passed down from mother to daughter for generations. Although the recipe is not complicated and has just a few pure ingredients, the key secret to the consistent and delicious outcome is clearly the love and caring that Willow puts into every batch. 

Traditional shortbread lovers will be thrilled. Shortbread has often been considered the traditional hostess gift, in our modern life, this is still a wonderful thank you gift and a treat to yourself!  

 

Domaine de Bequignol Chocolate Covered Walnuts

To die for!

"I have an irresistibility index I apply to chocolate. How long does it take to stop eating without painful self denial? For all of ChefShop’s remarkable collection of dark chocolates, for the Pralus bars, the Margaux cherries, the Arriba couverture, the Slitti bars, the Quadrotta, the Cleopatra pearls, the irrestibility index is way above average. But for the chocolate covered walnuts, it is off the charts. To stop, lock yourself in another room."

What a special treat! 

"I love chocolate and I love walnuts, especially when toasted so I thought I'd give these a try - so glad I did. They arrived a little melty (hot in Texas), but I put them in the frig and later in the day I sampled one of the best nut confections ever. The chocolate is not too sweet and with the crunchy walnuts, this is a perfect after dinner bite."

Posardi Passata - Finely Chopped Sardinian Tomatoes

Passata, loosely translated as a tomato purée, is made at home during the months when tomatoes are fully ripe southern Italy and Sardinia.

These slow-cooked tomatoes from Sardinia have their skins and seeds strained out before the sauce is bottled.

The low temperature preserves all of the super aromatic, fresh tomato flavor, whereas a typical tomato sauce that’s been long simmered has much less vibrant tomato presence.

Use this passata straight from the jar when making lasagna, eggplant parm or a simple bowl of spaghetti. It’s also a superstar in soups and meat stews.
