Review of Marques De Grinon Extra Virgin Olive Oil From Spain , 16.9-Ounce Bottle (Pack of 2)

Just like many of the best Italian olive oils come from top wine producers, Marques De Grinon EVOO comes from one of Spain's greatest wineries, Marques De Grinon, known for it's exceptional Cabernets and Syrahs from its estate in Castilla-La Mancha. This olive oil is quite complex and rich, more buttery and less bitter than typical Tuscan oils, but every bit as fresh and flavorful. I would put it as a worthy alternative to the Tuscan oils, particularly for dipping in bread, where it's softness makes it especially delectable. It's too expensive to be used for everyday cooking, but it can be drizzled on steaks and chops at the end to add aromatic and flavor nuance to grilled meats and vegetables. Really, this is a world class oil.

Review of Sottocenere al Tartufo 1lb Cows Milk

The only reason this doesn't have 5 stars, is it arrived in an almost liquid state. Thankfully it had been packaged very tightly and kept it's shape. I don't know what more you could do, they packaged it in an insulated bag with two ice packs. The August Florida heat is just too much for mailing soft cheeses I guess. I wasn't a big problem, as I was going to cook with it anyway. It has a great truffle odor, every time I get a sniff of it, I smile!

Product Description
An elegant truffle cheese aged in ashes as per Venetian tradition. Smooth, silky and irresistible.Cow's milk, truffles rind covered with Coriander, Cinnamon, Nutmeg Liquorices, fennel, anise cloves and truffle oil. Shipping 2 days air.

Review of Lentils, Petite Crimson - 25 Lb Bag / Box Each

Of all the lentils, my favorite are the red.I like their taste, their texture & how quickly they cook, compared with other lentils.We use them so often in our Indian Cooking that we decided to buy in bulk.Yay for Amazon because our local health food store stopped carrying any bulk!

Product Description
The nature of this legume is such that when cooked they loose their shape and are therefore an excellent choice for thickening soup.Lentils are often cooked with curry spices and served with rice in many south Asian cultures.

Review of Pear Champagne Vinegar 8.45 oz

This stuff is yummy! I have a lot of food sensitivities, including berries, so the raspberry vinegrettes used in many salads are out. I think this one is even better anyway since the pears add a consistent sweet sweet note to the vinegar tang. I blend it with my favorite olive oil (Spectrum Organic Spanish Extra Virgin)to make delicious (and healthy, lower calorie) dressing for green salads, coleslaw, potato salad, brown rice with salmon and capers, etc. In many cases I don't add anything else besides salt and pepper. I've gotten rave reviews from guests of all ages. The only thing I could wish for is that it would be organic as well.

Product Description
Add a splash of fresh flavor for guilt-free gourmet indulgence. Made from pure fruit essences, fruit and California varietal vinegars,are premium quality fruit enhanced vinegars offering flavor without fat for healthy dining. This sweet, tangy condiment is very convenient and versatile. Create the best dressed salads and much more: dress an endive, bleu cheese and anjou pear salad with Pear Champagne Vinegar ;

Review of Morel Mushrooms

Morel MushroomsI've used dried mushrooms many times over the years and these are among the best.Though expensive the morel has great flavor and is easily reconstituted.Already I've used them in a mushroom risotto and my favorite Fettuccine Alfredo.The 4-ounce package has a volume of about five cups of the dried morels so it easily beats what I find in the local supermarket.

Product Description
The taste of the morel makes it the most sought after funghi following only the truffle. Essence made from dried morels is rivaled only by the porcini. Morels are often paired with cream or white wine sauces and veal or chicken. They also work well with grilled meats. Dried morels provide much more intense flavor than fresh ones. The addition of the essence and the mushrooms themselves is sure to enhance any dish where they are a component.

Review of Vanilla Beans - Madagascar Bourbon

Superior vanilla beans come from the Madagascar "Bourbon Islands," Mexico and Indonesia. I find the flavor was truly superior to normal vanilla extract. While you don't want to use vanilla beans in everything (too expensive!), you will definitely want to consider using them in custards and when you make ice cream.

Vanilla enhances everything from creamy porridges to custards and cakes. The list goes on and on. There are so many uses for vanilla. Vanilla is derived from the seductively aromatic vanilla bean. Vanilla beans are actually the cigar-shaped seed pod from a fragrant climbing orchid native to tropical America.

Yes, vanilla extract is much more economical, but using vanilla beans is rather gourmet. The extract is created from chopped vanilla beans that are soaked in an alcohol/water solution. It takes about 100 beans to make 1 gallon of extract.

You can use the vanilla beans, rinse and dry them, so they last longer. After drying, you can store them again in the glass tube or in their own plastic bag for reuse.

~The Rebecca Review

Product Description
Whole vanilla beans are excellent for dishes where the characteristic flecks of the natural bean will enhance the presentation of a dish. The vanilla bean adds a gourmet touch to desserts such as crème brulee, ice creams and cakes. You can cut up a vanilla bean and use it to infuse the rich flavour into a sweet or savoury sauce or marinade; discard the bean prior to serving.
There is flavour throughout the whole vanilla bean. To use one, you can slice it horizontally down the middle of the bean, open up the pod and scrape the inside to get the vanilla seeds or specks out, or use the whole bean itself or cut it up. The vanilla bean can be reused for more than one application.
2 beans/vial.
One vanilla bean is equivalent to approximately one tablespoon of vanilla extract.
Kosher pareve, certified by the Chicago Rabbinical Council.
Store in a tightly sealed container away from direct sunlight and at room temperature. Stored under such conditions, vanilla beans should keep up to two years. Do not refrigerate.

Review of Malden Tea Premium Formosa Jade Oolong aka. Tung Ting Oolong. Net Wt: 1 lb. (Makes 200 Cups)

I had reservations when I first previewed this tea.Not anymore!I had been purchasing a "fine" tea from another online/retail vendor for many years.But, the quality of this tea was superior by far.The product was nicely and legibly packaged.Contained exactly what I expected, and arrived one business day after I placed the order.

This tea is a fine Oolong, with subtle floral undertones.I cannot make a higher recommendation.Thank you Malden Tea.I will certainly be back for more purchases.

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 Bing Cherry with Almond Box 25

This tea is easily one of the best in Davidson's line. An intoxicating blend of rich cherry and scrumptious almond, this tea also has the honey note that makes it sweet at brewing. The scent alone is enough to make anyone smile, but the taste is perfection at any temperature. I've tried it from very hot to using it in iced tea and I am delighted with the results every time.

Highly recommended!


Product Description
Slightly sweet "honey tea" with the rich flavor of cherries and almonds.
