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!!! "

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.

Posardi Sardinian Whole Tomatoes - Canned

The Sweetness of Sardinia - 100% Pomodoro of Sardinia!

We like these. The tomatoes are whole and nestled beautifully inside the can. The taste is pure tomato, the way a canned tomato should be, with no added elements, allowing you to be in control of how they’re flavored.

NeoCocoa Black Sesame Seed Toffee Brittle

Sometimes you need a nice treat. This week, I have been eating some hard, early season strawberries with vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and our secret topping mix...a lot of calories to consume.

And that is where this toffee brittle comes in; it is my go-to treat to give away and share with friends. This works well because I believe in the "one for you, one for me" rule.

Sgambaro Penne Rigate Pasta

Traditional penne rigate - drawn through bronze, so that the surface is rough, and ready to take whatever sauce you give it.

Penne is perhaps the best known tubular shaped pasta by name. Think of a large straw with ribs that go vertically along a tube cut diagonally, the length being about 5 times the diameter of the tube.
