Luscious flavor from pure fig wine, with no infusions or additives, embodies Acetorium’s Fig Vinegar. Try it for marinating seafood or as a salad seasoning.
Acetorium vinegars are hand-crafted by esteemed winemaker Joseph Reiterer of Alto Adige and German master vinegar maker Robert Bauer. Instead of using flavor infusions they judiciously select the basic ingredients for each vinegar and then vinify them before beginning the vinegarization process. In other words, all Acetorium vinegars are made from fine wines. The vinegars are precision-aged in stainless steel tanks or wooden barrels. Imported from Italy. 250 ml. bottle.

According to Sunset Magazine, Claudio Corallo’s 75% Chocolate Tablets are pure pleasure.
If you haven’t tried this pure, intense, delicious chocolate from the island of Sao Tome (off the west coast of Africa)…..well, it’s about time you did! Each cacao bean stem that contributes to the bitterness of chocolate is removed by hand. This creates a more gentle, smooth result. Visit some of our Claudio Corallo products.
Thassos is the most northern island of the Aegean Sea in Greece. This particular style of olive has been cultivated there and is rapidly growing in popularity outside of Greece.
Thassos Olives are selected natural Greek black olives that are sun dried and cured with salt and vinegar. However, like most olives these do not come preserved in a brine. The skin of the olive almost looks shriveled like a raisin does from the sun. Don’t let this fool you about the flavor, they are a salty and unusual delight.
How to Use Thassos Sun Dried Olives:
Try Thassos Olives as an addition to appetizer or cheese plate. To spice them up drizzle a bit of extra virgin olive oil over them and finish with Greek oregano!
The bulk container of Pelion Thassos sundried olives we carry are of the utmost quality. Of course, you need to be a serious fan in or All 28.5 pounds is solid product!
