Fennel and Harissa Salmon

Fennel White Balsamic and Harissa Olive Oil are two of our newest flavors. How wonderful that they are a good match for each other!

Porcini Faux Risotto

Risotto is a wonderful food. And it's less time consuming than you may have been lead to believe. But finding the right kind of rice can be a chore. If you want risotto in a hurry, there are lots of shortcuts to take. The end result isn't something a restaurant would call risotto, but I certainly call it dinner often enough.

I made this recipe with instant rice and it's just fantastic. I brought some to the store for samples this weekend in case you're in the area. See you soon!

Vinegar Mint Julep

The Mint vinegar isn't the most popular flavor, but I knew it had potential if I could find the perfect recipe. I think I found it!

In honor of Derby Day recently, I thought Juleps would be a good idea, but I needed something to bump up the Mint Intensity. I've used all kinds of kinds of our vinegar in drinks before, so I knew it would substitute well, but the taste was more to chance. It was perfect. Light and refreshing as a Julep should be with a little sour bite at the end. Have fun!

Some people recommend straining the crushed mint out of the glass before you serve.

Try with the Ginger vinegar for a zippier drink!
