Review of Gunpowder Tea, 6oz.

I've been using Adagio Teas for several years.I love the 1812 Gunpowder Tea and have it sent repeatedly,I've also bought tons of their Berry Teas for the college kids.They love it and its a great pick-me-up.Because of the stress at college many of them use the Chamomile or Peppermint tea for their tummies.
The people with Adagio are very helpful.And all their teas are excellent and reasonably priced.

Product Description
Green tea from the Guangdong province of China. Gunpowder tea, as the name implies, is made up of leaves hand-rolled into tiny pellets. These resemble gunpowder, and give this tea its distinct name. Continuing this bang-bang theme, our special-grade version of this tea is named after a year that saw lots of cannon action. Our 1812 Gunpowder produces a full-bodied cup with a hint of smokiness. And mixes well with peppermint to produce a popular "Morocon Mint" tea.

Review of Cream of White Truffles and Porcini Mushrooms (Crema di Funghi con Tartufi)

These are delicious. My husband put this product on lamb and crusted it with rosemary and it was heavenly!

Product Description
We believe that truffles jarred at the peak of freshness retain their flavor better than truffles shipped or flown here in their whole form. With these jarred truffles, you can indulge in one of Italy's greatest treasures without blowing a hole in your budget.

This rich and aromatic combination of fresh porcini mushrooms and high-quality black truffles from Piemonte can be tossed with pasta, stirred into risotto or spread on crostini.

Review of Kombucha Wonder Drink, Himalayan Blend

I buy it by the case at health store in Hudson, MA. and I've asked Trader Joe's to carry it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. This stuff is really good. It has a heady taste in the mouth like wine and it opens up my cells, but it's not an alcoholic high because there's no alcohol in it. It just does....something good! My first Kombucha drink, I poured down the drain. This one is the best.

Review of Gourmet Herbal Tea Set

I do copywriting for an advertising firm, so I'm used to being able to see past the breezy, flowery rhetoric that oftentimes is associated with a product. And I'm also pretty good at stripping away that rhetoric when recommending a product. But this isn't rhetoric. Adagio makes the best teas I've ever found. When you first open a tin of Adagio tea, the aroma tells you that you've found an excellent brand, and after the first few sips you've made up your mind that you're an Adagio person from now on.

The ingenuiTEA teapot is also a simple work of genius. I've been impressed with the level of quality in everything I've seen come out of Adagio. Try them. You won't be disappointed. The only disappointment I've found with Adagio is that some of their can labels could stand to be a little more attractive.

Product Description
The most convenient teapot you will find anywhere - we guarantee it. When tea is ready, simply place it atop your cup. This will cause a valve at the bottom to release: crystal-clear tea flows down, while the mesh filter retains all the leaves. Super easy to clean and dishwasher safe. And its microwaveable - perfect for the office or the road. You will wonder how you got along without one.

Review of Frantoia - Sicilian Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Frantoia - Sicilian Extra Virgin Olive OilI used to by my bertoli or similar extra virgin olive oil at my local stores - then from watching Mario Batali on the food network I got curious to how different the more expensive oils could be, Mario always said that "if they dont let you taste it before you buy it, go somewhere else" - that is not an option where I live, there are no stores like that around here, I would have to drive an hour and a half. So I just figured that the oil Mario uses is probably pretty good, I found it online a few years ago and have ordered it ever since, it truly is awesome, I cook with it, fry in it, make dressings and whatnot, it really is WAY better than the standard EV's you find in supermarkets...

Product Description
Produced in Sicily this unfiltered extra virgin olive oil is characterized by its rich golden green color, fruity flavor, and its distinct spicy aroma. Net Weight: 33.8 fl oz./pack of 2

Review of Authentic Bearnaise Sause - Delouis Fils - pack of 4

Incredible!Worth every penny and then more.I've had Bernaise in fine restaurants in Montreal, Chicago, San Francisco and this is in their league.

Review of Italian Cheese and Herb Bread (Two Pack)

bought as gift for hard to buy for father...he LOVEDbread said it was delicious !!

Product Description
Enjoy this wonderful Italian hearth bread with the flavor of herbs and Romano! This is another hearth bread that you can make it in your bread machine--this time with herbs and a mild Romano flavor.

Everyone loves cheesy, flavorful bread especially in a crusty hearth bread.Your family will love this charming bread from Italy.This is a zesty bread with a touch of garlic and herbs complemented with the aroma and flavor of Romano.The crust is chewy but not heavy.If you toast it, you will find a crusty, hearty bread.This is a wonderful hearth that you'll be very proud of.It's a wonderful complement for pasta dishes and makes terrific sandwiches.

* This package contains two hearth bread mixes.Each mix makes a large loaf--approximately two pounds.
* SAF yeast packets are enclosed.You provide only water.
* Directions and tips for perfect bread are included.

This bread is a wonderful complement to great meals.It also makes a great appetizer.And try it for terrific sandwiches!

Delight your family and friends with this bread.

For a crusty bread:This hearth bread naturally forms a more chewy crust than most other mixes and a "medium" crust setting will be right in most bread machines.To maintain a chewy crust, store your bread in a paper bag, not plastic.(In plastic, the bread sweats and softens the outer crust.)

If you bake it in your oven:In your bread machine, this mix forms a very moist dough ball--too sticky to handle.You'll want to reduce the water by a couple tablespoons.You can make a wonderful sourdough bread in your oven but it takes a little patience. With less water, this is a slow riser.Allow at least a couple hours for it to rise on your counter.

Review of Sparkling Citrus Beverage with Natural Pulp - 6 Tins

Orangina is a European drink, made with real orange juice and carbonated water. You can see and taste the pulp in it; it tastes like a spritzer, very refreshing and not overly sweet and artificial like an orange soda. It is really delicious as a cold drink! It used to be that you could only find it a finer foods market or deli, but it is getting easier to find now.Also the price has come down recently since they found an American bottler to manufacture and sell it in the states under license to the French.

Product Description
Orangina is the leading orange carbonated soft drink in France. Orange juice and pulp. What could be more natural With an unforgettable flavor, where a hint of acidity combines with pulp to recall the sensations of freshly squeezed fruit. And for extra refreshment, the added pleasure of the sparkling drink.

Review of Ras El Hanout 4.0 Oz By Zamouri Spices

Be careful!After trying this wonderful blend of spices, with great complexity of flavor, that they say is made with 35 ingredients, I found ras el hanout in my local grocery store.When I tried it alongside this one, there was no comparison.Then I checked the label--the local one had only 8 ingredients!It went into the trash and another order was placed to Zamouri.

Ras el hanout can be used in a number of Moroccan dishes that are fabulous, although they tend to be complex to prepare--although if you're in the mood they are worth the effort.But I also use it in tomato soup to give an amazing richness of flavor to it, transforming an everyday dish to a company dish.Today I'm braising short ribs, and when I've cooked down the braising liquid I'll add ras el hanout to provide a symphony of flavor to it.I haven't tried it with tomatoes and cheese on an omelet, but it's the sort of thing that's likely to be fabulous.With a little experimentation, you'll find your own favorite uses for it.

Product Description
Zamouri Spices - Ras el Hanout - as featured in O, The Oprah Magazine.This is NOT a simple version of Ras el Hanout found in cookbooks; this is AUTHENTIC!In Moroccan language, Ras el Hanout literally means head of the store or the best spice mixture a merchant has to offer. (also known as ras al hanout or ras el hanouth, raz al hanout or Moroccan Seasoning)Ras el Hanout is a spice blend that Zamouri Spices is proud to present as its best and most unique mix that any adventurous palate would love to experience. The secret of this mix and its recipe is passed down through generations. Native to Morocco, every spice vendor in the region has its own recipe. Zamouri's, too, has its original blend used only in the remote region of Zamour (North Africa Atlas Mountains) for a thousand years.Ingredients from over 30 different herbs and spices include: Grains of Paradise, Lavender, turmeric, ajawan seeds, kalajeera, ginger, galangal, oris root, rose buds, monk's pepper, cinnamon and more!

Review of Laudemio Baggioli Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Laudemio Baggioli Extra Virgin Olive OilAlthough I like to try lots of different olive oils to explore the many and varied flavors, if I had to choose just one, it would probably be the Laudemio, produced by a consortium of 30 top quality producers in the heart of Tuscany. Laudemio is produced from early harvested Tuscan varieties of Frantoio, Moraiolo and Leccino olives grown and pressed on specially selected soils in the Chianti zone.What makes Laudemio so special is that it combines the best of the classic, "grippy" style of the best Tuscan olive oil with the softer, more buttery notes more typical of the better olive oils from southern Italy and Spain. That makes it great not only for drizzling over grilled meats and vegetables, but for dipping in your favorite loaf of crusty Italian or French bread.Clear and intensely green, fruity, full, well-rounded and spicy, this dark olive- green has subtle floral and mineral aromas, and it is full -bodied and peppery, with a very fresh and lively after taste. It is a classic olive oil of the highest quality, and I highly recommend it.

Product Description
For a true Tuscan flavor profile, Laudemio is unsurpassed worldwide. It's delicious, peppery, herbal, grassy flavor and clean finish takes olive oil into another dimension. Clearly one of the best extra virgin olive oils on earth. From the hills of central Tuscany, Italy, use as a finishing oil only!

Review of Ghirardelli Chocolate 100% Cacao Unsweetened Chocolate Baking Chips, 10 oz.

I originally purchased these unsweetened baking chips for recipes that use stevia as a sweetener. I ended up using them in a recipe that called for four ounces of unsweetened chocolate and they were much easier to weigh than regular baking chocolate. With the chips there is no need to chop chocolate from a block. You simply weigh the chips and you are done with the job. While it is true that they taste terrible on their own they work very well in recipes that call for unsweetened chocolate. I used them in a recipe from PICNIC: 125 Recipes with 29 Seasonal Menus and made a delicious chocolate zucchini cake. Since I can't find these chips in my local grocery store I was happy to find them here at amazon. I'd list the ingredients but all the packet says is "unsweetened chocolate."

~The Rebecca Review


Product Description
Ghirardelli's all natural Gourmet Chocolate for Baking is sourced, formulated and manufactured expressly to deliver the highest quality chocolate for your homemade creations. We developed a special chocolate liquor and bean roast for our Gourmet 100% Cacao Unsweetened, which brings out the fruity character of the beans. This flavor profile pairs well with sweeter flavors in desserts such as cakes, mousses and a wide range of glazes. Net Weight: 10 oz.

Review of Matcha Green Tea Powder By Malden Tea

Matcha Green Tea Powder By Malden TeaI did my research and found the Matcha Green Tea Powder and how well this product will help with my health concerns.I read and have proof that it has improved my health and will improve anyones health that will incorporate this fine product into their life.I like a small amount of honey in my tea.Others can find many ways that they will like it.It is worth every penny and more!!!And a plus...I have been drinking it once or twice a day, for alittle over a month and I have lost weight drinking it, feel more alert, no caffeine buzz,(I can't usually tolerate caffeine), my skin and hair has improved and I feel that I have more strength.My husband is now drinking it because he sees the improvement in me and he is starting to feel the difference in his health. We both think we found the green tea that is the best and the one that will make a big difference for the better in our lives. K.10/29/08

Product Description
Information: Matcha is perhaps the most popular green tea on the market today. The first thing you will notice upon opening the packet is that Matcha is a finely powdered green tea and looks like an emerald colored flour. This characteristic truly sets it apart from other teas.When brewed, the powdered leaf is not strained or left in the pot, but is whisked into a frothy concoction and consumed. Because the leaves themselves are imbibed, brewed Matcha contains higher concentrations of vitamins and antioxidants than most other teas, green, herbal, or otherwise. According to researches done in Japan, brewed Matcha contains nearly 10 times the polyphenols and antioxidants of regular teas, 2 times the antioxidants of a glass of red wine, approximately 9 times the beta-carotene of spinach, and 4 times that of carrots.Brewing Ceremonial Matcha: 1). Prepare tea bowls by warming them with boiled water. 2). Prepare your Matcha whisk by soaking the tip in the boiled water in one of the bowls for about 10 seconds. 3). Pour the water out and dry the bowl with a paper towel. 4). Using your tea spoon, add 2 scoops of Matcha to each bowl. 5). Pour 1/3 of a cup of your hot water into each bowl. 6). In a slow "m' motion, submerge any loose bits of Matcha that may be floating on the surface of the tea. 7). Whisk the tea more briskly in a back and forth motion until the surface of the Matcha becomes frothy. 8). Consume immediately.Brewing Cold Matcha: 1g Matcha, 8 oz cold water, lemon, and sugar to taste. 1). Add 1g of Matcha to a little water and mix until you have a nice paste. 2). Add your paste to the rest of your glass of water and stir well. 3). Squeeze a lemon into to the mixture and add sugar to taste. 4). Add ice. Enjoy.Iced Matcha latte: 4g Matcha, 2 tbsp sugar, 3 tbsp hot water, 10 oz milk, ice. 1). Blend dry Matcha and sugar in a glass. 2). Pour in the hot water and whisk into a paste. 3). Pour cold milk over the Matcha mixture. 4). Add ice

Review of Trapani Italian Sea Salt

Trapani Italian Sea SaltIodine is a huge concern - getting enough of it is paramount, and iodized salt is the main source. I have been found medically short of iodine twice. I like sea salt, but the iodized coarse variety is rare as hen's teeth to find.One can find fine grind iodized salt in any health food store. I asked Whole Foods to order it for me TWICE and they couldn't find a supplier. This vendor is excellent and bends over backward. The non-iodized was shipped to me, and they immediately re-sent the correct product at their own expense.

Product Description
Natural or Iodine added:This SoSalt sea salt comes from the ancient salt-works at Trapani where the sea, sun and wind, create a salt that is particularly rich in minerals contained in the sea water (Magnessium, Potassium, iodine,...).Use the coarse salt for corn on the cob or in a salad because it does not melt and tastes sweeter. Use the fine salt for everyday use or for seasoning meats.Iodine added: The SoSalt iodized sea salt adds all the benefits of iodine with a high quality sea salt. Iodine does not alter in any way the taste of the sea salt.Sizes:Coarse 2.2 lb box (grinder also available: click drop down) Fine 1 lb dispenser

Review of Noir Absolut Ebony Unsweetened Chocolate - 5 kg

I recently purchased some unsweetened Belcolade chocolate in place of the usual Callebaut that I order. I love Callebaut, but it is very difficult to cut due to the thickness of the giant bars. The chipped version available through some vendors is an inferior product. Thus, I tried Belcolade. It is much darker than Callebaut and has a more earthy flavor characteristic of "Dutching." However, it is better and more complex than other dutched chocolates like Lindt. I would rate it as high as Callebaut and Valrhona and certainly better than Ghirardelli and the expensive Sharffenberger. Best of all, The Belcolade is delivered in small wafers and required no cutting, just measuring in a cup. It saves me a great deal of time and mess. Also, the price is right and less than virtually every other ultra premium brand.

Product Description
Belcolade's Belgian Chocolate couvertures offer great flavor, consistency, and easy workability. Imported from Belgium, all Belcolade couverture formulas come in convenient,easy to use drops. All Belcolade couvertures are certified kosher dairy equipment for dark formulas, and kosher dairy for milk and white formulas.Noir Absolut Ebony is 100% pure cocoa mass. No sugar added.

Review of Anchovies/Anchoas by LaTienda.com

These anchovies are something else. The fillets are fleshy, not dried up in salt like most of the anchovies I have eaten before. The consistency of the meat is preserved very well. While most anchovies are salty with the characteristic, wonderful ... stink, these anchovies are also flavorful in addition to being only stinky. I am not sure how this is done - perhaps by shortening the time the fish is cured in salt?
The price is unjustifiably high though - one can get 2 lbs of Moroccan anchovies for the same price.
Nevertheless, these are (from far) the best anchovies I tried.

Product Description
These silky, tender whole fillets packed in olive oil put to shame the mushy anchovies you get at the supermarket. What sets these anchovies apart from all others is the curing tradition of the Basque region that goes back for generations. Unlike other strong flavored varieties, these little white anchovies are salted, washed in clear water and individually packed by hand in olive oil. You won't find a higher quality anchovy anywhere

Review of Milk Chocolate Covered Potato Chips 1 lb

I received these from my spouse because I probably would never have bought them myself. Honestly, I was not very excited to try these. I mean, it's candy. Not only is it candy, it's milk chocolate, and candy (especially milk chocolate) should be sweet.

However, these chips bring together that perfect balance of savory versus sweet. Like chocolate covered pretzels, but better because they're potato chips! The little ridges help with the texture, I think that was key, or perhaps I am just biased towards ridged potato chips.

This plays out as a balance between flavors and textures. Sweet vs salty. Crunchy versus smooth. These chips are fantastic. It's one of those things that your mind says no, but after thinking about it, realize that it was in fact, a great idea.

Product Description
Gourmet Milk Chocolate Covered Potato Chips. We are "Home of the Original Chocolate Covered Potato Chip" and have been creating this special treat for over 25 years. We use a Swiss Formula Chocolate that is smooth and creamy and perfectly compliments the salt and crunch of the freshest potato chips.

Review of De Cecco Linguine Pasta, Enriched, 16 oz

Do yourselves a favor and don't buy anything but De Cecco pasta, any of the varieties....if you can find the brand.

The linguini is a favorite of my family and friends.It's wonderful with just garlic and extra virgin olive oil or used with your favorite purchased or homemade clam sauce...or any sauce for that matter.

Cooked to the directions on the box, one of the best things about De Cecco pasta is that the leftovers warm up such that you can hardly tell it wasn't cooked fresh.

Review of Morton Iodized Salt 26oz

Salt.It's one of the building blocks of life, and sprinkled modestly it makes a fried egg stand up and pay attention.I absolutely love how salt energizes and enhances flavor in foods, so I'm a big believer in MORTON IODIZED SALT.Why iodized?Because it contains iodide, a "necessary nutrient."Well. . . .okay.

Most foods these days are precooked or "heat & eat."They are already loaded with sodium.I save the Morton's for fresh foods.A baked potato.A piece of lean ground beef.Corn on the cob.Oh, yeah.Just pull up the nifty metal tab on the circular 26-ounce container and pour into your favorite salt shaker, then sprinkle away for a flavorful feast.But please:In moderation only.Your ticker will thank you later.

Review of The Pepper Plant Chunky Garlic Hot Pepper Sauce

The Previous reviews sums up the quality taste of this product.I found this product almost 20 years ago at a diner in Pismo Beach.At the time the Pepper Plant was a local (Atascadero) mom & pop operation and couldn't be found south of Santa Barbara or north of San Luis Obispo.I was living an hour north of San Francisco and was fortunate enough to purchase the sauce at the diner,I purchased 4 bottles and hit that diner about every 6 months for years.The company was purchased by a larger gourmet foods manufacturer in Gilroy and didn't change a thing.If anything it was a benefit for the product as it is now in the heart of where the ingredients are grown.I was able to get my local Whole Foods to carry Pepper Plant and another store across town.I have noticed that people are discovering the fantastic flavor of a California original and hope more people discover the best pepper sauce in the west.The bar-b-que sauce is excellent too. Cheers!

Product Description
For seasoning and cooking - excellent with tacos, roasts, stews, hamburgers, steaks, beans, meatloaf, soup, egg dishes, spaghetti sauce and Bloody Mary's. Net wt. 10 oz. Ship wt. 3 lb.

Review of Chocolate - Fondue - Dark

The chocolate fondue is absolutely delicious.Easy to prepare, easy to clean up. The package said itheld nine servings - we purchased accordingly. Expensive mistake.On two occasions - both about 3 hours long -both 90guests or more - both times 4 packageswas more than enough - with chocolate leftover.Good thing the product has some shelf life.It really is very good chocolate - and I'm glad we used that brand. - Sephra

Occasionally there may be light-coloured streaks or film on the surface of the chocolate. This occurs naturally and is a characteristic of pure chocolate. It will disappear when the chocolate is re-melted.

Review of Mom's Original Garlic and Basil Spaghetti Sauce

I happened up on this at my local natural grocery store and it spoiled me for any other sauce! This is the BEST JARRED sauce I have found - better than Rao's, and better than Francis Ford Coppola's brand (my two previous faves). This tastes FRESH from the garden and can be used for so much more than a pasta sauce. I use it for grilled vegetables, ratatouille, cous cous, soups, mediterranean bean dishes, and imitation meat products. The flavors will blow you over. This is truly exceptional.I can't believe it sells for $5.95 in Florida (based on the other reviews). Here in California, we get to pay $10 a jar, but it's worth it. Highly recommended!!!

Product Description
We use Sicilian olive oil and juicy sweet California tomatoes to create the unforgettable taste that marries well with spaghetti. Open up a jar today and we know you will agree that it is America's Best Tasting Spaghetti Sauce.

Review of Leonidas Belgian Chocolates: Gianduja -- Almond & Hazelnut Praliné

Leonidas Belgian Chocolates: Gianduja -- Almond & Hazelnut PralinéI had a chance to try these chocolates while in Holland. I only bought a few because I wasn't sure what they were (the sales person and I couldn't communicate past a few English words). Well, I am home now and I want more. I finally found them here... at a decent price and just this kind instead of a mixed box(which I am sure would be fine, but I want these and only these!)

If you like almonds and hazelnut, buy them, they are better than anything I have had from Godiva and that is saying a lot!

Product Description
Gianduja...100% Seduction...a silky smooth mixture of melted milk chocolate, sugar, and ground grilled hazelnuts and almonds. An entire ballotin of one of our most popular pieces, in Leonidas' signature gift wrap. Net weight 2 lbs; approximately 76 pieces.

Review of French's Sweet & Zesty Mustard: 12 OZ Squeeze

For whatever reason, the grocery stores where I live have suddenly stopped carrying this mustard.I thought French's might have discontinued it again, but I found it was still available online.

Now there's devotion to a mustard for you.I bought 5 bottles online!

I never have cared for regular mustard, which has too sharp a taste, even a little sour or vinegary.My mother knew this mustard growing up, but it disappeared from shelves for many years.When I was a kid, it reappeared in one grocery store in our town; we'd make a special trip just to go get it.That's when it was known as "onion bit mustard" (I still miss the real bits of onions; I guess they don't squeeze out of a plastic bottle).

This mustard does not have a sharp, tangy bite to it like regular yellow mustard.It is, obviously, sweeter and more mild.It's the only mustard I ever use for hot dogs, hamburgers and sandwiches.When I was living in Ireland for a summer, I made my mother mail me a bottle so I could have it with my hot dogs!

Product Description
The latest flavor in our line, French's Sweet 'n Zesty Mustard has a delicious, balanced taste that's perfect for sandwiches and great for dipping. This delicious, low calorie, low fat, all-natural flavored mustard combines America's best- FRENCH'S Classic Yellow with the sweetness of real onions and serves up a taste that enhances all your favorite foods.12OZ. (340g)
