Review of Spaghetti by Latini - Farro Grain

This is amazing pasta. Since my nutritionist suggested that I stop eating white flower and unhealthy carbs. I am still able to satisfy my love of pasta with this spelt grain pasta, that is high in fiber and big on taste. Since my husband hates pasta, when i made this for dinner he agreed that this was the best gourmet pasta he had ever tasted. Amazing. I love this stuff.

Product Description
Pasta Latini Farro Grain Selection Produced in Osimo, in the Marche region, pasta Latini has all the great qualities of artisanal pasta. Light consistency, rich flavor and a porous texture that captures sauces and condiments in every bite. It has none of the gumminess or blandness you find in more commercial productions. Marche's climate conditions, the water and the nature of the soil all contribute to an excellent production of wheat. Latini pasta is made from semolina flour mixed slowly with water and passed through bronze dies (hence the increased porousness) that Carlo Latini himself designed. The rough surface also accentuates the fragrance of pasta made from different varieties of durum wheat. While industrially produced pasta is dryed quickly at very high temperatures that alter the flavor of the wheat, Latini is dried at low temperatures (40-45 °C) for a much longer time. The secret is to maintain the highest possible protein value and the exceptional characteristics of flavor and texture in our pasta made only from selected grains of durum wheat. Our Latini pasta selection features: Pasta Latini made with Farro Grain Selection Farro is a grain similar to spelt whose existence has been documented for thousands of years. Passed down to history as the dish of choice of the Roman legions, farro is now enjoying a resurgence especially among trendy health-conscious chefs. Our Latini Farro pasta is made from varieties of farro grain personally selected by the Latini family and grown in Italy, is rich in fiber and extremely digestible, truly a refined gourmet flavor. With particular attention to the end result, during the milling, Latini removes the external cuticles from the bran, leaving only superior filaments, also called the "noble fibers". This pasta offers a mellow aroma and is exalted by delicate condiments made of vegetables and legumes, but the aroma becomes even more prominent with strong sauces based on meat, seafoood and shellfish.

Review of Organic Semolina Flour (Semola di Grano Duro)

I was having trouble finding semolina flour until I ventured into my local indian grocery and found a bag of Sooji.That's the Indian translation for semolina flour, and it only cost me $1.99 for 2 pounds (no shipping charge and no tax).Suggest you try it and compare to this product; you might save some serious $$$.I will be trying it in my Italian bread recipes.

Product Description
This ground durum wheat flour (a hard wheat) is used to make gnocchi alla Romana, rustic breads and fresh egg pasta. Because it is such a coarse grind (it has the consistency of fine sand), semolina flour requires more liquid than wheat flour does.

Special Instructions: Let the freshly opened bag breathe for an hour before using. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark, spot.

Review of Laudemio Extra Virgin Olive Oil , 16.9-Ounce Bottle (Pack of 2)

Although 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 Laudemio, from one of the greatest wine estates of Tuscany, the Marchesi di Frescobaldi. Laudemio is produced from early harvested Tuscan varieties of Frantoio, Moraiolo and Leccino olives grown and pressed on Frescobaldi's hillside estate in Chianti Rufina.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.

Review of Raspberry Patch, 4oz

This is an herbal loose leaf tea that is very flavorful in a delicate, naturally sweet way.I have used it through a strainer in a mug, and laying loosely in a Zarafina tea maker.I have also tucked it into a "T-sac" tea filter, and loose in infuser-balls and steeped it that way.The brewed tea has a medium rose color.I find that a teaspoon of "Raspberry Patch" per cup is plenty.

The white cubes in the picture are little apple pieces, ok to nibble after the tea brews.

I have served this to guests and they, both men and women, love it too.But I'm sure not saving it just for them!



Product Description
A delicious blend of natural fruits and spices that brews up a mouthwatering cup of herbal tea. Entirely caffeine free, it holds a special appeal for kids and sweet-toothed adults. Yet contains no sugar or other sweeteners. The flavor is all natural, emanating from apple pieces, hibiscus flowers, cranberries and raspberries. Highly addictive; Please proceed with caution!

Review of Passion Fruit Syrup

This is great for flavoring teas or mixing in water as a concentrated juice.

Now, if you are considering replacing the actual fruit juice with this product for cooking (ie: making mousses), it may not work as well. I tried and it doesn't thicken the cream as acidic juices usually do, and you can't add any sugar or sweetner or it will become too sweet, the syrup is already sweet enough. Keep in mind that, if you intend to use sweetened condensed milk (which is what I did), it will be way too sweet.

5.5 lbs. (2.6L) Concentrated fruit syrups used for making slushes, smoothies, juices and teas.

An exceptional meal for 2, was a wonderful birthday dinner for the wife. Here in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, it isn't that easy to get a good seafood meal. Real seafood. From the sea.

Review of Aidells Cajun Style Andouille, 13 ounces

One of the truly great sausages.

I remember them from my days as a young paratrooper in the 82d. The service club down the way would serve them up, sliced, grilled on a bun with mayo. They were great. Just the right amount of heat amidst the wonderful flavor.

Decades later I discovered Aidells. They are identical with what I remembered. These days, I grill the bun--Texas Toast style--with rosemary, oil and butter.

A real treat to eat.

Product Description
New Orleans and the bayous of Cajun country are places a food lover like me visits over and over. Ive got plenty of good friends both in the city and out in the countryside who know how to let Les Bons Temps Rouler the good times roll on into the night. Folks down there know two things better than most anyone how to eat and party. They do a lot of both just about all the time. Along with a certain smoky spiciness, thats the spirit I tried to capture in my Cajun Brand Andouille Sausage.

Review of Perugina Baci 2pc. Box

My family has been in love with Baci's ever since we lived in Europe.When my daughters were small they coined the term "Baci Pill" for whenever they were hurt or not feeling well.They are a wonderful treat, after a meal with espresso or cappuccino.Pop the entire Baci in your mouth and experience the famous Perugina chocolate and then the still crunchy hazelnut center.The Italians do everything with class and this beats a Hershey's Kiss any day!

Review of Easy Vanilla Coconut Macaroons

I absolutely love these macaroons, they are so simple and delicious.I highly recommend these to everyone! Enjoy!!!

Product Description
Coconut macaroons are moist mounds of coconut and egg whites.These are every bit as good as the bakery, fresh, and moist.Watch the kids go nuts over them while they are still warm from the oven.Watch them disappear when you serve them to your friends. And they are so easy.Add hot water, stir, let sit for ten minutes, and bake.That's it.You can use a pastry bag with a 1/2-inch tip to pipe your cookies but you don't have to--the cookies in the picture were scooped with a cookie scoop. These are great busy day cookies and great party cookies.Try them.

Review of Blood Sausage - 4 Links

Being French, these have always been one of my favorites. The reviewer before me obviously didn't know how to cook these, so hear: You must bake them in the oven until they crack open, and even then, let them get slightly burnt. The crispy, blackened parts are always everyone's favorites!
These sausages are very tasty and highly nutritious, while low-fat (compared to regular sausages), so give them a try!!
The best side dish to go with these is either mashed potatoes, or un-sweetened fresh applesauce (delicieux!).
Enjoy!

Product Description
Blood sausage is a traditional South of France pudding sausage made of pork blood, beef and spices. It goes particularly well with mash potatoes and apples. This "All Natural" product is guaranteed free of antibiotics, hormones, preservatives, artificial ingredients and nitrites. Animals are fed with the purest natural feeds (No animal by-product).

Review of Olive Oil Infused With Herbs de Provence By A L'Olivier (France)

Very hard to find in stores in USA. Used to be sold in Occitane stores all over, that is finished. Very few fancy food stores carry this oil (Citarella in NYC for expl). This olive oil is so good, all of them with herbs, lemon, basil etc etc.. No cholesterol so good for salad, pastas, fishes, etc.. Unfortunately on the web the distributors send this expensive product inseveral boxes, each time the price of shipping double price. In NYC you find the product at Citarella for about $14. If you use the web the price is more than 100% with shipping. The product is superb, but I think the exclusif distribution take advantage of their position, I advise you not to buy on the web. Too expensive!

Product Description

We have combined within an olive oil the finest aromatic herbs that nature has to offer in Provence: thyme, rosemary, basil and tarragon.

The combination of their aromas produces a fresh and distinctive oil that can be used to flavor a wide variety of preparations superbly: grilled food, fish, and also vegetables.

A L'Olivier began in 1822 in Paris and continues to be a leading proponent of theMediterranean way of life.

Each tin of A L'Olivier Olive Oil with Herbs de Provence contains 8.3fl.oz (250ml).

Review of Lars Own Imported Belgian Pearl Sugar

For those of you who read Barbery's beautiful short novel, Gourmet Rhapsody, this is the special ingredient to making Chouquette, the McGuffin to the book.When you bake with it, it mobilizes in the oven to create wondrous pockets of sweet perfection.

Do not be fooled by the stuff in the stores, those shiny waxy balls of carnuba called sugar pearls.OK for decoration, they will not work for baking.If you do a lot of baking, the 4 pack is a better buy because of the shipping cost.

Product Description
When you want to add a distinctive touch to your Belgian Waffles, cakes, or cookies, Lars Own imported Belgian Sugar is the perfect choice.The rich sweetness adds a perfect finishing touch to any pastry.

Review of Coffee Carte Noire Authentic Imported French Gourmet Coffee 250 g (8.8 oz)

Coffee Carte Noire Authentic Imported French Gourmet Coffee 250 g (8.8 oz)Came across this coffee in a hotel in Kazakhstan during a business visit. Really enjoyed it ,but it is not available in Australia to the consumer. Found it on Amazon, and now have it every morning.If you like coffee with real "guts" and a bit of flavour but none of that bitterness, this is the one.

Product Description
Carte Noire is a great French classic, with its famous advertising slogan, Un café nommé désir (a coffee named desire).Known for the perfection of its aroma, it is made from carefully roasted Arabica beans, and is a full, well-balanced coffee that is not at all bitter. It is already ground.The French and the Italians are famous for lingering over things they enjoy, and for their appreciation of the finer things in life - from food and wine, to fashion and the arts.In everyday life, this attitude is embodied in the café culture that spills over into the boulevards and streets of both rural and urban France and Italy.Coffee has always been central to the European way of life enjoyed while sitting at a café terrace to watch the world go by, or catching up with friends to discuss life, the universe and everything, served morning, noon and night.No need to travel to Europe to enjoy the Europeans romance with great coffeeyou can buy Carte Noire right here.Created in 1978 by René Monnier, the pure Arabica Carte Noire blend is an example of the French love affair with coffee. Since the beginning, the name and logo have symbolized luxury and privilegeits black and gold packaging evokes quality, while its intense aroma and well-balanced taste mark it out from the competition. As a result, Carte Noire is now the undisputed number-one coffee choice throughout France.Produced using only the finest Arabica beans, it is French savoir-faire with its sophisticated flavour, velvety taste and seductive arôme absolu.If you value all the complexity one would expect from a French blend, try Carte Noire Ground Coffee. Its aromas are rich and smoky, with a recently roasted brightness. The flavors are positively clamoring for attentionleafy notes, toasty tones, with a lovely sweetness on mid-palate.And there's just the right level of bitterness, refreshing without being overpowering.This is an after-dinner coffee par excellence, assembled with typically French savoir-faire.

Review of Castello di Poppiano Laudemio 2008

Although 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
At Castello di Poppiano in the Montespertoli area of Chianti, south of Florence, Count Ferdinando Guicciardini, oversees the very limited production of extra virgin olive oil from his grove. Podere La Costa, was acquired by his ancestors in the 14th century. These 30-odd acres of Tuscan frantoio olive trees have produced some of the most intensely flavored oil in Italy.The oil from Podere La Costa is bottled as Laudemio, an elite designation create by central Tuscan growers following the devastating freeze in 1986. The Laudemio consortium oversees production according to strict guidelines. Crafted from a selection of Frantoio (90%), Pendolino and Moraiolo (10%) olive varietals from the best olive groves in the Guicciardini Estate, Poppiano Laudemio s olives are hand harvested in early November at their perfect ripeness. They are pressed within 24 hours of picking, and never bottled in larger than ½ liter size. The process yields a filtered olive oil with a clear, vibrant green color. Its aroma is classified as intensely fruity, reminiscent of freshly pressed olives and recently cut grass. It tastes faintly of almonds, with a hint of artichoke, and an assertive peppery, round finish. This is a true Tuscan olive oil -full of intense flavor and aroma. It is green and spicy with the requisite Tuscan peppery after-burn, or pizzicatta.Poppiano Laudemio s awards include a Gold Medal (L.A. County Fair, 2006), Ercole Olivario (various awards 1996-2003) Packaged in an attractive box - it is perfect for gift-giving.Drizzle over Ribollita (a thick Tuscan soup with beans, bread, and vegetables) or try on a Florentine steak, Bistecca alla Fiorentina.

Review of Lavender Honey

Do you remember the honey you ate from honeycombs as a child? This honey has a very natural consistency and a purity reminiscent of days gone by. The delicious lavender blossom flavor is delicate and heady when blended with tea. One teaspoon for the tea, one for me. There is always the desire to put this in my tea, but also the desire to taste the amazing flavor of the honey each time I use it in cooking or tea.

Miel de Lavande adds an elegant flavor to many dishes and to drinks in the summer. If you enjoy orange blossom honey, this is even more delicious. Lavender honey is a precious gift from Provence and an affordable luxury in which to indulge now and then.

This honey is especially delicious in an evening cup of Sleepytime Extra tea. You then enter the territory of an aromatherapy experience. Miel de Lavende is also delicious with raspberry tea.

~The Rebecca Review

Product Description

Review of Mt. Sterling Raw Goat Milk Cheddar Cheese - Four 8 oz. Packages

I have to say I was disappointed - it may just have been my batch, but the texture was closer to mass-produced supermarket cheddar rather than a raw milk boutique cheese.Rubbery mouth feel and a mild, innocuous taste.I was hoping for much more from this cheese based on the write up and awards.Overall, this is an easy to eat cheese that would be good to serve to friends who are put off by stronger, flavorful cheeses.

Review of Pistachio Triple Crate

It's always hard to know how good food items will be over the internet, but these pistachios were outstanding.They were nicely salted, but not overly done, and they were roasted perfectly.The color was nice and green in almost every case, and there were very few inedible ones.These are about as high quality as any other type I've had.I highly recommend them.

Product Description
Roasted/salted pistachios fill a classic Casa de Fruta wooden crate.

Review of White truffle oil - sunflower seed oil, 1.9 fl oz

This product uses a neutral oil, and conveys truffle flavor in the cleanest way possible, without having actual truffles.I find the olive oil-based versions inferior in truffle flavor.Excellent on risotta or similar seafood-rice dishes, some salads, some cheeses.Always keep some in the cupboard to add the "wow" to the right dish.

Product Description
To even more enhance the flavor of fresh white Alba truffles, sunflower seed oil is used. This smooth sunflower seed oil is less overpowering of the truffle flavor and leaves an even more intense aroma. The color of the oil is light, almost transparent, which gives the true indication of its goodness and smooth consistency.

Review of Eye Butter - .5oz

This eye butter has the consistency of butter, but it readily goes on around your eyes. I've been using this product for over a month now, and already many of the fine lines are gone and the skin around my eyes feels well-moisturized and very healthy. It forms a great base for mineral makeup and lasts all day. What I also like about this eye butter is that it can really protect your skin from adverse weather conditions. This product is made from very safe ingredients; it's not touted as an anti-aging product, but I think it works as well if not better than other eye creams with numerous anti-aging ingredients such as peptides and hyaluronic acid. This product has never stung my eyes, and another big plus, one jar lasts a long time!

Review of 8 oz Whole Bean; Dark Roast, Certified Organic Coffee

You're paying for the Kona reputation and marketing, but the 'blends' are really overpriced considering they're just 20% Kona.The 100% is more worth the price, but you don't need to spend quite so much for comparably great coffee..Still recommended, Kona coffee is a great product (buy the 100% instead for 40% more).
