Review of Panforte Cioccolato from Siena 250 g.

Really delicious but impossible to remove paper from back of panforte.I ate the paper, but I would rather have not.

Product Description
In the middle ages, apothecaries sold medicinal herbs and spices. Over time, those products worked their way into recipes for local specialties, such as panforte, the famous strong bread of Siena. With its highly nutritious and restorative properties, this regional confection is said to have sustained the Crusaders.

This spicy concoction is made with chocolate, almonds, hazelnuts, pine nuts and candied citrus peel and is dusted with cocoa powder. Panforte is traditionally served in thin slices for dessert along with a glass of vin santo, a Tuscan dessert wine. But it can also be eaten in chunks for breakfast or as an afternoon pick-me-up.

Review of Miscela D'Oro Gusto Ricco Espresso (Ground) - 8.8oz.

I know tastes can be very particular and something that I savor may not be the same for another person, but I do enjoy drinking espresso and have tried many coffees, some are either too weak or too strong (very bitter). With the Gusto Ricco coffee I have finally found a coffee that has that perfect blend of strong aroma with a deep and rich coffee flavor without being either too weak or too strong. I would highly recommend this coffee to anyone who enjoys a good cup of high quality espresso. Then you can make up your mind!

Bon gusto e saluto!

Product Description
A perfectly balanced blend; a fine coffee with a superbly rich aroma and well balanced flavor for the most demanding coffee connoisseur.

Review of Lapsang Souchong Whole Leaf Loose Black Tea

Lapsang Souchong tea comes from the mist-enshrouded Wuyi Mountains in the northwestern corner of China's Fujian Province (north of Guangdong [Canton] Province), whose greatest tourist draw besides its mountains is its coast line on the Taiwan Straits.

This tea has an unmistakeably smokey note, which for years made it a particular favorite with the "single malt and cigars" crowd of English clubs and drawing rooms. That aroma is created during the tea's smoking process, which involves the withering of the tea leaves in bamboo baskets hung on racks over cypress or pine wood fires, after they have been rolled and placed into wooden barrels until they emit their own aroma. The finished tea leaves are characteristically thick and black. Legend has it that this smoking process was discovered by accident during the Quing Dynasty (1644 - 1911), when an army unit camping out in a tea factory interrupted the processing of the recently-arrived leaves and the workers then resulted to drying the leaves over pine fires to make up for the disruption and get to the market in time, creating an instant sensation there.

Because of its potent aroma, Lapsang Souchong should not steep very long. The rule of thumb is that the paler its color, the more likely you'll truly enjoy it.

Product Description
Cool pine smoke swirls around this nice Chinese tea and imparts its aroma and flavor. Delicious straight or with milk or sweetener. Great as an addition to your marinades and rubs for meat, chicken and fish for a smokey flavor.

Review of Rustichella D' Abruzzo Tomato Sauce 9.53 oz.

I've tried many different sauces over the years and this is absolutely the best by far. The only bad news is it's expensive. For me, it's worth it. For you, I'd suggest trying one jar and decide for yourself.

Product Description
Rustichella d'Abruzzo's exceptional tomato-based sauces contain no additives or emulsifiers. We recommend simply tossing the sauce unheated in order to enjoy a more authentic, homemade flavor. The sauces may be gently simmered for 1-2 minutes, but high heat diminishes the flavor. One jar of sauce dresses a pound of pasta, and is enough to serve 4-6 people.Fresh tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, carrots, onion, sugar, basil, salt.

Review of Amedei Milk Chocolate Bar with Hazelnuts

I tried this milk chocolate with hazelnuts for the first time recently after reading a review that this brand was the best chocolate in the world. I had to try it and it was worth every penny. I am a dark chocolate fan normally (70% is my favorite) but I have to say I would order this again and give it as a gift. It melted like butter in my mouth and was beyond delightful.

Product Description
A bar of delicately blended milk chocolate mixed with soft, round langhe hazelnuts in perfect balance, leading to a highly pleasing harmony of flavours.

Review of Premium Dough Conditioner

Using the french bread recipe for my breadmaker, the loaves would only come to about 2/3's the way up the pan.Since using this product the loaves are full to the top and much fluffier and tasty crunchy crust.I've made 3 loaves so far all are much better.And the beauty is that it only takes a half teaspoon per loaf so the bag should last almost forever.The loaves seem to stay fresher longer as well.I recommend this product from this seller who got it out to me in only a couple of days.

Product Description
Make better bread for about a nickel per loaf.

This professional dough conditioner makes approximately 72 loaves.

Review of Linda's Lollies After Dinner Gift Box

If you have ever dreamt of a Anise flavored lollipop, your wish has been granted. The Sambuca After-Dinner Lollipop is subtly spicy and delicious. The Crème-De-Menthe provides a refreshing flavor, while the Orange Liqueur, Coffee Liqueur (tastes like caramel coffee with hints of pumpkin pie spice) and Irish Crème are slightly more subtle.

Sherry turned out to be the most exotic of the flavors with a slightly spicy strawberry flavor. As you enjoy each lollipop the flavors seem to intensify slightly. This box also contains Pina Colada and Amaretto.

Since these lollipops are made for grownup tastes, I think they could make the Irish Creme flavor just slightly stronger.

If you are trying to decide between these and the smaller
size lollies, I'd definately go with these. I found the smaller
lollies were far too flavorful and the mix had a lot
of sour flavors.

~The Rebecca Review


Product Description

Review of San Giuliano Balsamic Vinegar 10years old 8.5oz

I first tried good balsamic vinegar at a local Italian restaurant.They served it with crusty french bread.I fell in love with the nip of the vinegar and the wonderful depth of flavor and I knew I had to find more.

The price of good balsamic vinegar surprised me.It seemed a huge indulgence at first but having used it, with a little olive oil in place of salad dressing, for dipping bread and adding a little adventure to nearly anything that comes out of my kitchen I realize the value.

You won't go wrong with this brand. It is deep and rich.Reminds me of my first time and that little Italian restaurant.

Product Description
San Giuliano Balsamic Vinegar is obtained by boiling trebbaino grapes produced in the province of Modena. This Balsamic vinegar is a natural product characterized by a dark ruby color, complex and penetreting aroma, sweet and sour taste with velvety sensations. Aged 10 years.

Review of Emily's Dark Chocolate Covered Strawberries 5oz

These looked great online, but I was disappointed that I couldn't find a product label ... even when I found "Emily's" website. Since they were listed as "gourmet," I was hoping for premium ingredients. While not as bad as some, they do include natural flavors and corn syrup, for instance.

Having said that, the Dark Chocolate Strawberries TASTE very good, and the taste alone might warrant 5 stars (considering that they're packaged fruit).

For the prospective buyer hoping for an ingredient list, here you go:

INGREDIENTS: Dark Chocolate (sugar, chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, milk fat, soy lecithin added as an emulsifier, and vanilla). Dried Strawberries (strawberries, sugar, rice flour, natural flavor, citric acid). Corn Syrup, Tapioca Dextrin, Confectioner's Glaze (refined lac.).

Product Description
Emily's Dark Chocolate Covered Strawberries are a delectable everyday treat. The summer-sweet taste of Nature s perfect valentine, the strawberry, pairs magnificently with sumptuous dark chocolate. Emily's only uses whole berries - not pieces, purees, or jellies. Only the best will do and you will taste the difference. Emily s ~ All Chocolate is not created equal. Neither are nuts and dried fruits. Emily s goes to great lengths to source the finest ingredients from around the world. When you are looking for the ideal gift or prefect treat, you want the best. Emily s commitment to quality coupled with inspired packaging gives out products a personality that is unique and refreshing. Try Emily s Dark Chocolate Covered Blueberries and Cranberries too.

Review of Classic Curry (Madras)

I'm certainly not a curry expert, but I know what I like...And good curry is hard to find. It's either too sweet, too watery, too this, too that. "Classic Curry" from Spicy Nothings is perfect - the consistency, the taste, the spices, etc. Whenever my wife and I wanted good chicken curry, we'd end up driving 20 minutes and spending $30 at a nearby Indian restaurant...With this, however, cut up some chicken, cook it in a pan, add a bottle of "Classic Curry," let it simmer for 5 minutes, and you not only get a BETTER meal (and healthier), but you can easily feed 2-3 people for $10. Can't recommend it more highly.

Product Description
Better known as MADRAS CURRY after the ancient port city of Madras, this is truly a classic South Indian culinary masterpiece. The original version is hot enough to make grown men cry and yet delectable enough to lure them back. We have tamed it down to suit your palate, while retaining all the spicy goodness. Try it with your favorite meat or veggies.

Review of Izze Sparkling Blackberry Soda Full Case (24 - 12 Ounce) Bottles

This Izze Sparkling Blackberry Soda isn't exactly a soda and isn't a really a juice---it's a healthy alternative drink that's a bit of a combination of the two. It contains a lovely medley of healthy juices without sweeteners except for the actual juice concentrate. For fizz and refreshment it includes 30% sparkling water.

The juices it contains are: white grape juice, apple juice, blackberry juice, and lemon and raspberry juice concentrates. It also contains sparkling water, citric acid, natural flavor, red grape juice concentrate for color, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), niacinimide, and pyridoxine hydrocholoride (vitamin B6). All of this together surprisingly tastes exactly like blackberries!

Izze Blackberry is very sweet but light (not thick and syrupy). The adults in my household really like it and I think children would enjoy it too. There's really nothing not to like about this healthy juice or soda alternative beverage!

Highly recommended.

Product Description
Izze Sparkling Blackberry full case of 24 12 ounce bottles. Nice crisp flavor, naturally sweet with no added sugar, no caffeine or anything artificial. Simply fruit juice with sparkling water.

Review of 5 lbs. Conch Meat, Cleaned and Filleted

I have not personally purchaced conch meat from this supplier, however, I would defanantly reccomend it to anyone who enjoys seafood. I had conch twice while on a trip to Port-au-Prince, Haiti. It was the most delicious sea creature I've ever eaten! I had it fried, and scampied in a pasta and there isn't a scallop or lobster out there that could trump conch's succulent, moist, meaty goodness. In fact, ever since I had it I've wanted more, but I haven't had the chance. I would buy some of this, but I didn't realize how much it cost...

Review of Serrats Ventresca Tuna by LaTienda.com

These quality white tuna fillets make a great starter and can be combined in many different ways. You can never go wrong with them. Delicious and healthy.

Product Description
As long as tuna boats have plied the seas, ventresca, the belly of the tuna, has been highly prized by connoisseurs as the tastiest and most tender part of the entire tuna. The Japanese treasure it under the name: 'toro'.Ventresca is the finest part of the Bonito del Norte tuna - a special type of albacore. Each tuna is line caught by hand, and freshly cleaned and dressed, without being frozen. This preserves the texture and flavor that can be damaged by the stress of harvesting by net. This method also assures that other creatures of the sea, such as dolphin or turtles, are not harmed.Our ventresca is prepared in limited quantities. It is cut by hand from the ventral area of a freshly caught Bonito tuna. Once it is perfectly cleaned it is filleted and put in a tin, always by hand, because no machine process would be capable of leaving intact such a delicate and tender meat. The ventresca is then packed in olive oil thereby keeping it moist and enhancing its delicate flavor

Review of Moulin de la Brague Provence Herbs - Herbes de Provence

I purchased these herbes de Provence for a gift bag.Cooking with these herbes is heavenly, and the beautiful Provençal fabric is a cool little reminder of the South of France.

Product Description
Herbes de Provence, or Provençal herbs, is a traditional blend of aromatic herbs that flourish in hills of southern France during the hot summer months.

The herbs are packaged in a decorative linen bag that makes a charming gift. Herbes de Provence is a good addition to any dish from the Mediterranean region and is especially good mixed with olive oil to coat chicken, fish, tomatoes or chunks of potato for roasting, adding to a pizza sauce or sprinkled over game or kabobs before roasting. It's also used for seasoning salads, sauces and cheeses, as well as soups and stews.*Bag colors may vary

Review of Planeta - Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil

This olive oil is by far the best I've ever tasted.It's a bit cstly like most really good olive oils are but this is so worth the money!You will not be disappointed.The flavor is amazing, I do not use it to cook with, it's too good for the, it's great on bread or in salad.I promise if you like olive oil you will LOVE this one.

Product Description
Planeta extra virgin olive oil comes from two different family-owned olive groves. The first is the centuries-old grove named Ulmo, which surrounds the family's winery in Sambuca di Sicilia. The other is a younger grove called Capparrina and is situated on fertile land by the sea near Menfi, in the province of Agrigento. Both groves grow three varieties of olive: Cerasuola, Biancolilla and Nocellara de Belice. The latter represents approximately 60% of total production and is typical of the area. It is recognized for its large-sized fruit and produces an oil with a very distinctive flavor. The other two varieties, Cerasuola and Biancolilla, have a much more delicate flavor. The oil has a wonderful green color and a fresh bouquet of herbs, citrus fruit, artichokes and tomatoes. It has a delicate, full rather than spicy flavor. Get this remarkable and scarce, small production olive oil while it lasts! Net Weight: 500ml.

Review of Bulk Marzipan 2lbs. 72 pcs.

I ordered this marzipan last Christmas, amazed by the great deal that I had found.

Unfortunately, the old addage is true:you get what you pay for.

This marzipan is made with corn syrup instead of sugar, has a low almond content, and is flavored with a hint of citrus that masks any almond flavor whatsoever.I may as well have been eating lemon-scented glue sticks.

Even more interesting is that I froze the unused marzipan in the same bag with a 'better' variety.Within three months this marzipan had taken on a freezer taste, whereas the higher grade marzipan still tastes great even one year later.They were both in the same bag together, so it can only be the ingredients themselves that didn't hold up.

I will never buy cheap marzipan again, and I have thrown out the bulk marzipan that I purchased from this company.

Review of Queso Manchego Cheese 'El Trigal' by LaTienda.com

I am happy with this cheese doesn't have a strong flavor but is a nice cheese with crackers or cooking..

Product Description
Our mild young Manchego has a very smooth flavor.Packaged in a handy 2 lb. wheel, this Manchego is small enough to handle and big enough to share.This quality cheese has Queso Manchego D.O. seal of authenticity, attesting to its high quality.Because this young cheese has been cured only 30 to 90 days, it is fresh and mild.Serve slices or wedges of this pleasant cheese as tapas or snacks with olives, accompanied by sherry, beer or sangría.It is also great served as a light dessert accompanied by traditional membrillo -- quince preserve -- fig wheels, fresh fruit or honey.

Review of Melissa's Fresh Key Limes, (5 lb)

Fresh limes are underappreciated, but a joy to have in the kitchen.A few squirts of lime juice into water makes a wonderful and healthy alternative to carbonated beverages (and without sugar!).

Additionally, they're essential for doing salsa right.

1/4 C Lime juice (from 4 limes)
10 small tomatillos, husks removed and washed (ASIN B0000TL6DG)
2-3 Chipotles, seeds removed (ASIN B0000EIDSR)
1 C cilantro, roughly chopped
8 small Tomatoes
1 small onion (optional)
Salt to taste

Cook tomatillos, tomatoes and onion: place on cookie sheet and broil at 500 degrees. The tomatoes will come out in about 10 minutes, the tomatillos and onion 15-20 minutes. Let cool, then puree the tomatillos in a blender with the lime juice, boullion garlic and the chipotles. Add half the cilantro, and whirl just a little bit. Add remaining ingredients. Let stand for about 30 minutes then serve at room temperature.

Product Description
Take your taste buds to key lime pie and beyond with tangy, juicy, Key Limes from Melissa's. These limes are petite, about the size of a ping pong ball, and can be used in fresh limeade, iced tea, and mixed drinks; squeezed over fresh fish and seafood; or added to desserts, dressings, and marinades to brighten flavors and enhance all your favorite tropical recipes. Melissa's Key Limes are in a citrus class all their own. (5 lbs.)0..........

Review of Tootsie Roll Metal Lunch Box Gift Assortment

Tootsie rolls were stale.The suckers were fine, but the Tootsie rolls (the little ones) were hard and stale.There are big rolls in there too, I have not had them yet, but I pushed on them though the package and they seem fine.The stale ones taste just fine, so it is not bad, just when you first bite down there is a crunch.
There are 2 very large ones, 2 others that are just large, a couple hand fulls of the small ones and a lot of suckers.So it is very nice.It is packed well and sealed great.
