Al Capone’s accountant ate RJ’s Licorice that Rocks! Carnal Knowledge, Same Time Next Year, Hannah and Her Sisters, Moonstruck, The Untouchables, Midnight Run, Lethal Weapon II, Look Who's Talking, The Accountant...what do all these movies have in common? They all have accountants and the accountants all ate RJ's Soft Black Licorice at tax time! Okay, not really. But they'd have been happier if they had. Because RJ's is simply the best licorice we've ever tasted. It's as different from those waxy Red Vines as a just-picked, sun-warmed garden tomato is from those pale impostors at the grocery store. Just about every other day, when customers stop by our store here in Seattle, we offer them a little licorice log (after they've tasted all the new olive oils). They say, "Oh, I'm not really a big licorice fan." But they try it - and they're hooked. They buy a bag for their friend, for their mom, and of course, one to keep stashed in the glove box. RJ's Soft Black Licorice is licorice like it used to be. Nothing artificial, not sickly sweet - just real licorice flavor and a super-satisfying, chewy texture. (Disclaimer: If you really hate that anise flavor, this isn't for you. We bet you know someone who'd love it for a special little treat, though.) As an added bonus, licorice has long been known for its stomach-soothing, acid fighting qualities. Much better to eat this than a candy bar as you pore over Schedule D (1040). Shop Now for the tax helper that is an acid fighter - RJ's Licorice! |
D'Arbo Black Elderberry Syrup Nothing compares to the D'arbo fruit syrups. The elderberry is unique and delicious - a perfect companion to your elderflower syrup. Perfect as a dessert topping, or in your bar pantry. Elderberry ***** "I love this product. Drink it often in mineral water or seltzer water. Unfortunately, I have a difficult time locating the elderberry syrup. I would highly recommend. It's refreshing and is pleasant tasting. Try with fresh lemon." -- therese Check out D'Arbo Black Elderberry Syrup! |
Caramelized Spanish Almonds Covered with Yogurt-Flavored White Chocolate! Catanies "Outstanding! One candy gives me the treat I need at the end of dinner." -- sue Shop now for Catanies Caramelized Spanish Almonds Covered with Yogurt-Flavored White Chocolate! |
Fusilli Pasta Sgambaro! Fusilli are short ribbons of pasta twisted into a shape resembling screws or spring-like corkscrews. Fusilli stands up well to thick, meaty or creamy sauces. The Best Pasta "Sgambaro is the best dried pasta. I have tried a lot of pasta from Italy and nothing compares to this brand. Each shape is equally good. Whether I put olive oil, a red sauce, or pesto on the pasta, it tastes delicious with perfect texture." -- robin Shop now for Sgambaro Fusilli Pasta! |
Sardines in EVOO from Connétable in France! The sardines from Connétable, always packed in extra-virgin olive oil, are some of our all-time favorites. Delicious Sardines "These are the best sardines I have ever tasted. Nice and meaty with a mild, pleasant flavor." -- alice Shop now for Connetable Sardines in Extra-Virgin Olive Oil! |
The Sweetness of Sardinia 100% Pomodoro of Sardinia We like these. The tomatoes are whole and nice inside the can. The flavor is tomato. The way a canned tomato should be. Use as a base to your next dish. No added elements allowing you to be in control. The Best! "I also used to use San Marzano tomatoes for my sauces. Not any more! These are sweet, flavorful, and absolutely melt into a beautiful sauce." -- erin Shop now for Posardi Sardinian Whole Peeled Tomatoes! |
Les Terroirs De Marrakech Olive Oil With three ticks of the clock the burn sets in and with three coughs you know you have an oil. A full feel, the tip of the tongue gets this great olive taste, almost as if you are eating the olive from which it came. I love the feel of this Moroccan olive oil...delightfully full of flavor, yet so clean the oil evaporates, leaving a wonderful memory. Perfect finishing oil "I love the smooth flavor of this oil - for any recipe where we are making a dressing or other uncooked use of oil it's the one I always reach for. The bottle is also very attractive and I've gifted it several times and always had rave reviews!" -- katherine Shop now for Les Terroirs De Marrakech Olive Oil! |
Corona Beans from Italy This large white bean, Corona Judiones, is a member of the runner family phaseolus coccineus. Dried corona beans are already about half again larger than the typical white runner, and when cooked, they almost triple in size! This is one reason this heirloom bean has often been called the "poor man's meat." Corona Beans "Feels kind of weird to be this excited about beans, but these are no ordinary beans. These are the best beans in the world." -- mike Shop now for Corona Beans! |
Yuzu Kosho Red Awesome, hot, but not hot like you have had before...this red Yuzu Kosho paste is a spicy, herby Japanese condiment that we are thrilled to bring to you. It's great for adding a delicious dash of flavor to fish, vegetables, even a turkey sandwich. Best pork belly ever! "I slathered this on chunks of pork belly, sousvided it at 65 c for 24 hours and then seared it. It may be best thing I ever cooked, period." -- dan Shop now for Yuzu Kosho Red! |
Landsea Gomasio Nutritious Sea Blend of Sesame Seeds, Stinging Nettle and Seaweed! If you like furikake, you will love this gomasio! “I realized this classic blend would be the perfect starting point from which to incorporate some of the nutritional wealth of the land and the sea. I replaced the salt with the more complex salinity of Bull Kelp and the bright note of Nettle. The result is Landsea Gomasio; a blend that supports the body with both the wisdom of tradition, and the nutritionally rich flavors of my home.” Wonderful "This is my new favorite, I looooooove it. And I love that it's locally made. I basically inhaled the first bottle I purchased. Goes great with so many dishes, and it's a great healthy snack by itself. I am hoping I can talk ChefShop into carrying the larger size. YUM!" -- leigh Shop now for Landsea Gomasio Nutritious Sea Blend Furikake |
Cold Mountain Dry Rice Koji Koji is one of the key ingredients used to make miso. Koji is made from steamed rice inoculated with "koji starter", consisting of spores of the mold ASPERGILLUS ORYZAE, then incubated for about 45 hours until each kernel of rice is covered with a bloom of fragrant white mold. The rice is then dried, preserving the mold on the outside of the rice kernels. Easy to use with incredible results "After hearing about Shio Koji, a lot, it was time to give it a try. With Cold Mountain Koji it was as simple as adding the Koji rice, some water and salt. After 10 days +1 it was ready. Since then I have tried it on and in just about everything. Fish, meats, vegetables, anywhere I would normally add a dash of salt, including on my eggs. The effect has ranged from subtle to profound. This is my new secret ingredient. Combine it with a good soy sauce for even more effect in stir fry or fried rice. Marinate meats before grinding them into sausage or even in burgers. The possibilities are many. If you are into fermenting then definitely give this a try. You will be back for seconds..." -- alan Shop now for Cold Mountain Dry Rice Koji! |
Salted Black Kampot Peppercorns Salted pepper is a super treat! Peppercorns have been grown in the Kampot region of Cambodia since the 13th century, planted by the Chinese. When the French occupied the region in the 19th & 20th centuries, they grew pepper into an industry. At the time, most of the eight thousand tons of pepper produced was shipped to France. peppersplosion "This incredible seasoning elevated a classic Caesar salad from merely tasty to sublime." -- albi Shop now for Salted Black Kampot Peppercorns! |
Unique Black Ginger Syrup with Hebesu Citrus First, ginger draws you in because you know she is so good for your core, (protects and heals the gut, hastens movement in your gastrointestinal tract, increases your defenses against the flu and common cold) and because she turns on the spirit in your taste buds.

Pink Salt from the Murray River Flaky salt like this Murray River Pink salt has a wonderful gentle color, for a cool pink flamingo look and an easy, delicate crunch with excellent bite!

Murray River Salt is a light delicate salt ideal for finishing eggs vegetables and breads. It is perfect for seasoning steak because it is completely soluble. No heavy aftertaste!!
