Pairing of the Month:

 

Simple and Classic



Southern Italy Mediterranean Coarse Sea Salt



 Harvested in the South of Italy, where they have been producing salt since 200 B.C.; Mediterranean Salt is known for its mild flavor and bright white crystals. It's naturally high in magnesium, which makes this a very high-quality salt.
Wine of the Month


Oxford Landing 2014 Chardonnay

Pale golden straw in color with vibrant green hues, this Chardonnay has lifted aromas of freshly ripe stone fruit with hints of grapefruit and lemon myrtle. Layers of flavour build across the palate that reflect the use of wild fermentation and ageing on yeast lees. The slightest hint of oak comes through as a hint of vanilla, highlighting the complexity derived from barrel matured reserve wine. The wine has a wonderfully even texture on the palate with balanced acidity offering a crisp, clean wine with persistent and tantalising mineral acidity. Suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Pairs perfectly with classic italian dishes like

Bucatini all'Amatriciana

          Carol Firenze loves olive oil!  Ask her family, friends and fans and they will say she is the best advertisement for her popular and cleverly written book, The Passionate Olive - 101 Things to do with Olive Oil, which is packed with history and how-to information about olive oil.  With enthusiasm and vivaciousness about this liquid gold, her desire is to educate others about the history, health benefits and beauty of olive oil.  That desire now extends to children in her latest charming coloring book, Cattivo Olivo & the Tree of Liquid Gold.
          Carol earned her Olive Oil Sommelier Certificate from IRVEA ((Research Institute for Excellence in Food) in Tuscany and her Olive Oil Consultant Certificate from the Italian Culinary Institute in New York. She is a former board member of the California Olive Oil Council and a frequent contributor to the Olive Oil Source and national magazines.

NEW!! San Marzano Tomatoes
Compared to the  Roma tomato, San Marzano tomatoes are thinner and more pointed. The flesh is much thicker with fewer seeds, and the taste is stronger, sweeter and less acidic.
