Review of Pernigotti Gianduiotti Bag

I'm from Turin (Italy) and I'm used to the real Gianduiotti.

I'm living in Texas now, so I decided to give these Gianduiotti a try.

They are not the typical Italian brand product manufactured abroad. They are the real thing, imported from Piedmont.

The shipment was perfect. At the end of July, when shipping chocolate is very difficult, the package was shipped by air and it contained a ice bag. The chocolate arrived in perfect condition. Top quality chocolate.

Great service.

Product Description
Around 20 pieces of "Gianduiotto" are in the gift bag. The Gianduiotto are made of delicious "gianduia" cream, consisting of cocoa paste and hazelnuts. This makes the taste of this classic chocolate velvety and rich. The history of the Gianduiotto goes back to 1851 in Turin where it was introduced as a new kind of chocolate made with sugar, cocoa and the finest Piedmont hazelnuts. Today Gianduiotto is an ever-popular gourmet delicacy and has attained worldwide fame.

Review of Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto (Pesto Rosso)

While Pesto Genovese is my favorite pesto for capelli d'angeli, my family and I love this pesto on crostini.In fact, it's become a staple in our house and a regular at mealtimes.

Sun dried tomatoes tend to have more "tang" than other tomatoes and this pesto will certainly give your crostini added spiciness.Don't get me wrong, you don't have to use this pesto on crostini alone.That's just our favorite way of using it.It would be great on pasta, too.

If you love tomatoes, especially sun dried tomatoes, I don't think you can go wrong with this pesto.I recommend it highly.

Product Description
Paul searched for two years to find the right producer to craft a preservative-and-additive-free of spreads and pestos bearing the A.G. Ferrari Foods name. His search ended in the vegetable gardens of a small producer in the herb-scented Ligurian hills above Genova.

This all-natural pesto from coastal Liguria is made with a blend of sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, nuts and fresh herbs. Use as a topping for crostini, as a sauce for pasta, as a flavoring for fresh cheeses or as a poultry marinade.

Pesto Rosso is one of seven new sauces made in Liguria, exclusively for A.G. Ferrari Foods.

Review of Jacobs Kronung Ground Coffee - pack of 2

We found Jacobs Kronung coffee in 1991 when we visited our son stationed in Bitburg Germany. They don't drink coffee so we had to find coffee and visited a local grocery store. The rich green bag looked inviting. We don't speak or read German and in the States, a green bag denotes decaffeinated but we decided to give it a try anyway and were we ever happy we did. Jacobs Kronung coffee is a fine ground coffee and it took several tries to get just the right amount but it was wonderful. We loved it! (And we were hooked!)

We mailed several bags home before we left Germany and then hunted for places in the States to buy more. Once in awhile we would find Jacobs in the Air Force Commissary but it was not a given that we could find it regularly. (We did ask our son to send more from time to time as a special treat.)

We've tried several of the blends but prefer the Kronung blend. Jacob's Meisterröstung is stronger and the Night and Day is a decaf version. I was surprised when Jacobs was purchased by Kraft, which shows they know a good product too. Thanks to the Internet, Jacobs Kronung Coffee is easily found and the price here on Amazon is the cheapest I've found.

My daughter-in-law just gave us a Frieling Stainless Steel 35-Ounce French Press from Amazon and I'm going to buy the Jacobs Kronung beans because I KNOW it will make a super combination.

Try it! If you like a wonderfully flavorful coffee at a bargain price, you won't be sorry!

Product Description
Imported from Germany, Jacobs Kronung premium ground coffee has a rich aroma and a refined flavor. Smell it, taste it and you will recognize it as a superior quality coffee. High quality coffee beans selected from the best growing regions are blended to compose this fine coffee. Net Weight: 17 oz each/pack of 2

Review of Fastachi Super Nut Mix

I used to live close to Fastachi and went there often to purchase nuts for myself as well as friends and family for holidays and house warming. They roast the nuts there in the shop.

I was surprised and delighted to see they can be purchased here on Amazon! You won't be disappointed! Enjoy!

Review of Organic Gunpowder Green Loose Leaf Tea

Honestly, this is the best green tea I have tried so far.I have tried many different brands of tea bags, and some other loose leaf teas.This organic gunpowder, however, is the best I have tasted out of those and I think it is actually the most relaxing out of all of them.I would definately order this product again and am willing to try some other green teas by Davison.

Review of Certified Organic Coffee Pods, 'Bonzai Pipeline' Dark Roast, 36 Pods

When I first drank a cup of coffee from a pod machine, I asked if there were other types of coffee available in this form.Nope, just the arabica--which was certainly all right with me.I hoped there would be more choices offered, however.

I searched on Amazon and discovered that one can obtain Kona coffee in "pod" form.What a delight, and I quickly ordered a sampler box.Unbelievably good!There's a reason for this, since the beans are grown on a coffee estate located on the Big Island and the unmistakable taste of "Kona coffee" is in every cup.

It's expensive, but the coffee is excellent, service is swift, and there's nothing like the first sip of coffee from the Big Island to bring a smile to your face!

Review of Turkish Coffee Survival Kit

The Turkish coffee kit was what I expected.I gave it as a gift because the person wanted to try Turkish coffee and the kit was just the thing. The pot and coffee with recipes and instruction of use was included. The gift was well received and enjoyed.

Product Description
The Kit provides the bare essentials to coffee preparation. Great on or off the road. Turkish coffee is a lot like cowboy coffee, instead of a blue speckled sauce pan you have a brass ibrik and the fine grind of gourmet Turkish. Whether on the trail or lost in a Hi-tech trade show and whether you hang on to a rope or cell-phone, the Turkish Coffee Survival kit should keep that caffeine buzz until you get back to civilization.

Review of Biermann Marzipan 5 LB. Block

I bought this block of marzipan to make roses for my daughter's wedding cake in September. Came out beautifully!! I kept the rest for my sisters and I to wrap our traditional English Christmas fruitcakes. Well....not quite enough of the marzipan made it to the Thanksgiving weekend when the cakes were made. Instead,we decided to eat the rest with a spoon (actually, I was digging chunks out with a butter knife between September and Thanksgiving!) This is the real deal and you won't find a better price.

Review of Baileys Irish Cream Filled Chocolates - Over 1 Pound (17.5 oz)

These aren't really filled with actual liqueur, as they're alcohol free.It's just irish cream flavored filling.I think that needs to be made clear in the product description.Also, the consistency of the cream inside the chocolates is substantially different than actual liqueur.

It gets a two because, despite the misleading product description, they actually do taste pretty good---just don't expect actual Bailey's liqueur.

Product Description

Review of Banyuls 5 Year Aged French Red Wine Vinegar 750 Ml

This is one of the best red wine vinegars available for those who want something besides the overdone balsamic vinegar.I first tried it at a Williams-Sonoma sale when they stopped carrying it. It has a wonderful flavor so I was pleased to find it on amazon and received 5 star service from Taylor's Market the seller who sent my order much faster than the promised date and very well packed so I recommend this great product and the seller.

Product Description
Banyuls wine vinegar comes from the southern most point of France, where the pyranees run into the Mediterranean. The winegrowers of this area where the soil is inferitle and arid work by hand the vines of the grenache grape. Under the hot sun the dry northerly wind of this region the grapes are picked at full maturity to make superb rich and powerful banyuls wines. The local cuisine holds an amazing wealth of tastes, every dish if ull of color and aromas. One of the secrets behind this cuisine is Banyuls Wine Vinegar. Banyuls wine vinegar of the Cave de l'abbe rous gets its aromatic complexity from an outstanding fortified wine naturally rich in sugar. The wine is stored in 650 liter casks for 4 years where it is exposed to the wind and weather. The conditons allow the wine to age prematurely and develop exceptional aromatic complexity, the same qulaities are reflected in the vinegar. This Banyuls vinegar is a burned topaz in color with tints of gold. Woody and spicy on the nose, while the taste of fresh walnuts and menthol runs deep on the palate.To preserve this complexity in aroma and taste in the next step of aging, the vinegar is transferred to 220 liter casks for 12 months. By the end of the process a full 5 years will have passed. The vinegar when aged to its full potential offers a combination of fresh walnuts, spice bread, beeswax, vanilla and liquorice notes. This complex taste will add character to any dish with just a touch. Imported From France 750 ml

Review of Bavaria Munich Weisswurst

Bavaria Munich WeisswurstShort and sweet...this is perfect weisswurst.

If you like weisswurst and love the soft tender sausage that is slightly sweet and perfectly seasoned, you will love this!Traditionally served for breakfast (or before noon), it is gently heated in water and served hot to the table in the water to keep it warm and moist.We break the rules and eat it anytime.Excellent with german red cabbage or sauerkraut and mashed potatoes with a brown mushroom gravy.Mmmm good!

Traditionally, this is prepared in a pot with water and a bottle of good German beer and sliced onions then gently simmered.

To make it even better, take your pot of water, German beer, sliced onions and add a handful of brown sugar, some salt, a bay leaf, 7 whole cloves, a few grates of nutmeg and a couple pinches of allspice...let the seasoned water simmer covered for @10 mins then add the weisswurst (frozen) and cover.As soon as it begins to simmer again (bubbles just starting) remove from heat and keep covered letting it steep and heat up for @5-10 more mins then serve in the pot to the table.Yum!

Shipped quickly, frozen and safe.We have purchased this item several times from this vendor, Bavaria Sausage, Inc. never a problem and delicious!

Review of Block of Duck Foie Gras by Rougie 7.oz

This product has been consistently of very good quality every time I have purchased it.

Product Description
A specialty of Gascony, foie gras is one of the world's great gastronomic delicacies. These fully cooked foie gras have a wonderfully rich flavor and silky smooth texture, and contain the finest liver, seasonings, and port wine. Foie gras needs to be served chilled. Traditionalists enjoy it on toasted bread with a glass of Sauternes, but it's equally good on a baguette with a glass of California red. If you want to be more inventive, try foie gras in salads, and if you want to be positively trendy, try it sauted or roasted.

Review of Amaretti di Saronno Cookies (Window Box) By Lazzaroni

These are a wonderful little treat that go great with coffee or tea. I brought these to work with me to share with some co-workers and doled them out as if they were gold! A pair of cookies are wrapped in tissue so they look a lot more special than just a couple of cookies. My co-workers were very impressed with them! This package has just enough for a small group of friends to share.

Product Description

According to the Amaretti di Saronno legend, almost three centuries ago, the Cardinal of Milan unexpectedly visited the town of Saronno in Italy. To honor him, two young lovers, Giuseppe and Osolina, quickly baked up a mixture of sugar, apricot kernels and egg whites, creating crisp, airy cookies with an unusual bittersweet flavor which they wrapped in pairs to symbolize their love.

The Cardinal was delighted and blessed the young couple, who married and lived happily ever after. Since 1718 this ancient and secret recipe has been preserved by the Lazzaroni family. Unwrap a legend and begin your own happy ending.

Enjoy these delicious cookies with coffee, fine wine and after dinner liqueurs.

Each box contains 15 pairs (each cookie is paired with another and then wrapped in colorful paper) of Amaretti di Saronno cookies (7.5 oz. net wt.).

Review of Skipanon Smoked Albacore Tuna 3.75oz Can

We were visiting Astoria, Oregon and toured the Cannery Museum. They were selling mixed 6-pack boxes of Skipanon tuna, salmon and sturgeon to raise money for a memorial, so I paid the $30 figuring at least we could eat the fish. My husband and I didn't expect it to be anything more than a regular old can of tuna, but we were wrong, wrong, WRONG! This stuff is amazing! At $5 a can, I guess it should be amazing -- but I've found that it's rare to get what you pay for most times. It's the best canned tuna I've ever had -- and the salmon is to die for! If you are looking for high-end salmon or tuna for a special occasion or holiday appetizers, salad or sandwiches, splurge on this and you will not be disappointed. Neither will your guests. Chunk it up and sprinkle it lavishly on a bed of fresh lettuce and veggies for a high-protein, low-cal salad that will not leave you feeling like you are on a diet. It's not for everyday use (not on my budget, unfortunately), but for an occasional splurge, it's perfect.

Product Description
Rich in flavor with a mild taste the delicate light alder smoke flavor gives an added zest to this white meat tuna. Canned smoked albacore tuna is a quick and easy alternative to salmon. Enjoy the taste of smoked tuna yourself or give it as a gift.

Review of Sciabica's California Sevillano Variety Fall Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil 12.7 Oz.

I love olive oil.I have spent a fortune on various olive oils from around the world.When I heard of Sciabica's Olive Oil several years ago, I was skeptical since it is from California.I ordered some.I was blown away.I have tried all of their varieties, even the flavored oils which I was never a fan of, and they are all remarkable.I don't think you will find a better oil at any price than Sciabica's.Don't tell my girlfriend, but I often take a swig right out of the bottle when cooking with it.The Mission Variety Limited Release has replaced butter in all my baking recipes.It is sweet, buttery and mild.When I heard that Mr. Sciabica puts it on his toast, I tried it on pancakes.Unbelievable.If you like flavored oils, they are not infused oils...the Sciabicas actually put the lemons, or peppers, or garlic into the press with the olives.You get the REAL flavor of whatever is added.I recommend the Jalapeno (I brush it on grilled cheese samdwiches), the rosemary for chicken and the lemon for salad dressings.I could go on forever about Sciabica's Olive Oil.Do yourself a favor and try it.

Product Description
Sciabica's California Sevillano Variety Fall Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil. An olive oil with a unique smooth taste and an aroma reminiscent of artichokes.

Review of Chanterelle Mushrooms

Chanterelle MushroomsI use this and other mushrooms from JR. I buy in 16oz bags and usually keep Chantrelle, porchini and black trumpet on hand. The package contains a nice selection of mushrooms and is dust free. I use the various mushrooms for mostly pasta dishes and when mixed with some prosciutto bits, the flavor is great. The shipper ships what is advertised and is very efficient.

Product Description
Chanterelles are very delicate, with a fruity and peppery nutlike flavor. They add flavor, fragrance and color to many veal, poultry, pork and egg dishes as well as cream sauces. Their delicate flavor also complements many seafood dishes. Serve them as a side dish. After reconstituting sauté in butter or olive oil with a little garlic, Italian parsley and chopped onions or shallots.

Review of Buffalo Bills 1.75oz Beef Jerky 6-Pack Gift Cooler (filled with 11 assorted 1.75oz packs of beef jerky)

I've been buying Buffalo Bills brand of jerky for over a year now. I wish I had known about them before - their products are always fresh and full of flavor; and their shipping is always, always on time. I do pretty much all of my gift shopping online and a few months ago I started buying this company's 6-packs coolers (they have quite a few different ones to choose from) for birthday and congrats gifts.

I've sent this particular 1.75oz Beef Jerky Cooler to 4 different people this summer and each one really enjoyed it. If you're looking to send a gift and you're not certain what kind of jerky the person likes, then this is the one to send. It's a great assortment.

On a personal note, their Buffalo Bills 3.5oz Honey Pepper Country Cut Beef Jerky Pack and their Buffalo Bills 3.5oz Teriyaki Country Cut Beef Jerky Pack are the 2 best jerkys I have ever eaten. They make 5 different flavors of Country Cut Beef Jerky but these 2 are addictive.





Product Description
Our company's best selling gift item! This handy black nylon 6-pack cooler comes filled with 11 assorted 1.75oz packs of our Buffalo Bills Beef Jerky in 3 great jerky styles - our thin sliced Western Cut, our moist and tender Country Cut, and our classic Premium "Hung in the Smokehouse" Hickory. All 3 styles are whole muscle jerky and made in the USA with US-raised beef. Welcome to Jerky Heaven! The cooler itself measures 8"w x 6"d x 6"h and is insulated to retain cold. In addition, it has a zipper closure and 15" strap handle for easy carrying. Need a gift? Each one of our exclusive Buffalo Bills Coolers & Jugs makes a great gift for the meat snack lover in your life! Rather than using those frilly baskets that just waste closet space, we use down-to-earth, functional coolers that can be used daily for years to come. Of course, the best feature of our Buffalo Bills Coolers & Jugs is that each one is filled with our premium snacks! At no additional charge, we can include a handwritten 5" x 4" postcard conveying your personalized message (just click "Gift Options" when checking out).

Review of Malden Tea Premium Formosa Jade Oolong aka. Tung Ting Oolong. Net Wt: 1/2 lb. (Makes 100 Cups)

I am enjoying the lovely flavor of this Oolong tea from Formosa, in my opinion the finest. I read about teas often, and have learned, that any teas that are rolled into little pearls, is always of a finer grade.This tea is rolled into the pearls.It is important to know, that the pearls must be given room to open into their leaves, so take care not to put too much into your tea bell/infuser.I use a strainer instead.This tea is meant for multiple infusions, thereby making it cost effective as well as delicious.I highly recommend this tea.It also arrived immediately.

Product Description
Country of Origin: Taiwan Grade: Jade Oolong Altitude: 1000 2000 ft. Manufacture Type: Handmade OolongCup Characteristics: Very smooth with light floral notes and haunting finish. Information: Oolongs follow almost the same production as black tea. The major difference between the two is in its shorter fermentation period - Oolongs are often referred to as semi-fermented teas - Formosa Jade Oolong undergoes a 60% shorter fermentation period. The result is a deeply complex 20%-25% fermeted Oolong tea that has characteristics of both black and green teas. This Tung Ti Jade Oolong is entirely hand made and has a stunning leaf. When infused, the tea is complex - smoother than black tea, less grassy than green teas, and displays a certain balance and harmony in the cup that is almost orchid like. Tung Ting, like all Oolongs should be drunk straight without milk or sugar in order to appreciate its subtle complexities. Hot tea brewing method: Oolongs teas are best enjoyed when the leaves are briefly infused with hot water, which is then poured off. The tea is then reinfused and tea is poured to the lucky guests after about 1 minute. The leaves may be reinfused several times, with each resulting infusion yielding different liquor from the proceeding cup. Iced tea-brewing method: (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 teaspoons of tea into a heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into the pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top-up with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste.

Review of Super Gold 43-1233 Luster Dust 2g

I used Super Gold Luster Dust to create the most exquisite chocolate aspen leaves for the groom's cake at my son's wedding. By using an artist's paintbrush to lightly coat the molded leaves with Luster Dust, the result was startlingly beautiful. In contrast to food coloring, the Luster Dust brushes on easily and imparts a realistically metallic color and sheen. The containers are small but the product goes a long way, making it extremely economical to use. The Step Dynamic: A Powerful Strategy for Successfully Growing Your Business

Product Description
Lustre dust gives a subtle colour with a high-sheen gold metallic finish when applied to royal icing flowers, fondant, and gumpaste. Intended for use in dry form, but may also be mixed with oil-based flavourings or clear alcohol (e.g., vodka) for painting or highlighting.
2 gram container.
Contains ingredients which are non-toxic. Not water soluble.
Colour is lighter than shown in photo. Every effort has been made to accurately reproduce the colour of the lustre dust. However, the colour may vary due to reproduction limitations and your monitor's colour settings.

Review of 5 Jar Mini Body Frosting Gift Crate

Hard to imagine something could make one's honey even sweeter, but this fills the bill. The little jars make it easy for you to try different flavors (as opposed to being stuck with a large quantity of one). All of them were quite yummy, too. The only thing I would change is the brush that's included -- it's tiny, which makes it fun to tease and do little bits at a time, but it could be just a bit broader. The bristles tend to get overwhelmed by the chocolate. Then you just use your fingers...

Product Description
Choose a gift set specifically designed to be sensual yet elegant. Our 5-Jar Crate includes Five 1.5 oz. jars of our fun Body Frosting packaged in an attractive crate. Paintbrush included! Body Frosting flavors are Original Sin Chocolate, Wild Cherry, Midnight Mocha, Espresso Dream, and Red Raspberry. This crate makes a great gift for Valentine's Day, Lovers, Showers, Birthdays, Anniversaries, or any other "Special Occasion."

Review of Women's Bean Project Firehouse #10 Hot Chili

We tried this for the first time this week. I made it in my crock pot, even though that isn't how the directions read. It worked out great. We had it with sour cream and onions one night, in a baked potato another night and tonight mixed with whole wheat pasta. Yummy! Women's bean project is a worthwhile cause, too!!

Product Description
The spicy combination of chipotle and crushed red pepper give this three-bean chili quite a kick. Named after our bilding, the old Denver Fire Department Firehouse #10.

Review of Collectible Tin Moravian Ginger Spice Cookies, the world's thinnest cookies, low fat no transfats,16oz

These cookies were like a super special treat. Sweet, crisp, a hint of spice, wonderful. As a mom, I should share. No way. These I truly kept for myself. I'd put the kids to bed, get some coffee, put on a candle, get a good book, soft music and a few cookies. It was like being transformed. I keep the tin in my office as a reminder of quiet times for later.

Product Description
The Salem Baking Company has been baking these cookies for over 75 years, using an old traditional Eastern European recipe. Made using wheat flour and light brown sugar, warm molasses and fine spices and rolled paper thin. They come in 7 oz tubes (170 grams) and in 3.5 oz tubes (90 g). And now as a holiday tin, 8 oz.

When I bought this product I was concerned that it contained just a few candy items. Not the case! The amount you see in the image is probably not even a good representation of what you're getting. Although some of your favorites might be missing, it's a good walk down memory lane.

Review of Rich & Creamy Curry (Korma)

This sauce is the BEST! Great for anything from chicken to steak and even goes great with veggies and rice! This is a MUST have sauce!

Product Description
Better known as KORMA, this rich and creamy sauce is of Persian-Indian origins. The Mughal Emperors of India, who built the Taj Mahal, patronized this delectable sauce. Made with coconut, cream and exotic spices, with a hint of lime, today Korma is a must-have at all wedding dinners. We have substituted cream with evaporated milk to cut down the fat, while preserving the rich, creamy flavor.
