Badia a Coltibuono,(Abbey of the Good Harvest),is the single most consistent producer of authentic extra virgin olive oil in Italy and is widely considered by chefs, food critics, consumers and media as the super-premium extra virgin olive oil by which all others are judged. This classic Tuscan extra virgin olive oil has been produced since 1058! It is a golden yellow with hearty green nuances. It has a balanced fruity flavor with a hint of toasted nuts. The oil is full flavored with an intense aroma of fresh olives. The distinct peppery sensation produced at the back of your throat on the oil‘s finish is an attribute of oil whose olive harvest was young and fresh. This oil is perfect for dressing salads, vegetables, pasta, potatoes, soup and bread. Also use for garnishing dishes that call for drizzling with olio crudo (literally raw oil). The acidity level, harvest and release dates are on each label to guarantee freshness. FINALIST “OUTSTANDING CLASSIC" 1999-2000 FANCY FOOD SHOWS Albereto Unfiltered 100% Organic EVOO – Produced by Badia a Coltibuono, this extraordinarily rich, full flavored artisan oil is produced in limited quantities from the highest groves on the Coltibuono estate. Albereto is produced from several varieties of olives, principally Frantoio, Pendolino and Leccino, with smaller quantities of Moraiolo and Maurino. It has a deep emerald green hue and is left deliberately unfiltered so to achieve full expression of the oil‘s aroma and flavor. Handmade from the early harvest olives which are pressed immediately, it has a distinct, peppery aftertaste and vibrant green color. Its low peroxide content deters rancidity and is associated with high levels of vitamin E, A and K. Albereto is best savored alone, on bread, or drizzled over soups, pasta and beans. FINALIST “BEST OIL" AT THE 1996 SUMMER FANCY FOOD SHOW 5 061410PB Campo Corto Unfiltered 100% Organic EVOO – Produced by Badia a Coltibuono, this unfiltered oil is produced entirely from Frantoio olives, the estate's most pungent and long-lived variety. The olive trees used in Campo Corto are protected by the ancient Coltibuono woodlands in a completely clean environment. It is the result of many years of research into olive varieties that have been traditionally grown in the Chianti region for the production of high quality EVOO. Campo Corto pairs well with exotic vegetables, flavorful bread, roasts, game and mushrooms.

Her estate is in San Martino, in Pensilis, in southeastern Italy‘s unspoiled Molise region on the Adriatic coast. A family property for over 200 years, Colonna is well known for its EVOO as well as special blends that are pressed with fragrant organic lemons, oranges, bergamots and tangerines. The family‘s 140 acres of olive groves cultivate 22 varieties of olives including Coratina, Leccino and Gentile. Manually harvested on the estate when slightly under ripe, Colonna olives are processed then milled on the same day. Each olive variety is harvested, processed, milled and cold pressed separately to ensure quality. The oils are then expertly blended and bottled in dark, glass decanters unique to Colonna. It is then labeled and sealed by hand. The seal bears the family‘s red coat of arms—one of the most widely recognized symbols of medieval Rome. In contrast to robust Tuscan oils, the oils of Southern Italy are characterized by warm olive aromas and lightness. COLONNA UNFILTERED EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL Bright and clear with the harmonious aroma of green tomatoes, apples and olives, Colonna EVOO tastes grassy and light with a hint of pepper at the finish. It is perfect with pasta, salad, fish, vegetables and other light dishes.

Colonna Bergamia EVOO – Made with the zest of organic Calabrian bergamots, a cross between the pear lemon and the Seville orange, this oil is prepared by simultaneously crushing fresh organic bergamots with early harvest olives. Golden yellow in color with grass green undertones, this oil has a unique flowery citrus taste. It is a delightful accompaniment to seafood and is a wonderful addition to dressings, cooked vegetables and pastas. Its fragrance also enhances the aroma of desserts and biscuits.

Senor Avelino Vea, who now runs the family business, has maintained and elevated those standards by introducing the latest production techniques. He has also deliberately preserved the traditional methods of cultivation and blending, as well as the integrity of the oils that bear the Vea family name. As a result, Vea has earned recognition among the world's most discerning chefs and restaurateurs who value the oil for its fine and subtle flavor & consistency. L'Estornell Extra Virgin Olive Oil– L’Estornell, a Catalan word for a type of bird that likes olives and comes to ―help‖ during harvest, proudly adorns their label. This elegant EVOO is made from hand-picked, cold-pressed olives which come from the surrounding community just outside the village of Sarocca de Lerida, near Barcelona in Catalonia. The Arbequina olive is the core olive in this oil--the most widely found variety in Catalonia. L'Estornell EVOO consists only of extra-virgin oils, personally selected and blended by Avelino Veá, to create an oil of exceptional fragrance and delicacy, suitable for dressing salads and for those special occasion meals. Every bottle is vintage-dated. L'Estornell Organic EVOO – This delicious and organic EVOO is produced from 100% Arbequina olives from the Vea estate as well as the estates of eleven growers in the Sarocca de Lerida region. All product origins are controlled and certified by the CCPAE – Catalan Council of the Organic Production – under the EEC standards. Each farmer gets the certification three years after they begin cultivating olives in an organic manner. The region‘s climate is ideal for organic farming of Arbequina olive trees. During the winter, temperatures are very low, falling between –5 and –7 degrees. There is also an immense amount of fog. These two factors cause a layer of frost to form on the olives that helps to eliminate insects as well as maintain the temperature of the olives at no less than 0 degrees. This naturally occurring event controls the number of insects ensuring that they do not adversely affect the olive harvest. Conversely, the summer is hot and dry. Lerida EVOO -- Acclaimed Master Taster Avelino Vea produces these oils from choice olive varieties, primarily Arbequina from northern Spain's Catalan Region. Lerida gains its ardent taste from under-ripe Arbequina olives. The cultivation process has remained organic and the harvest is reaped by hand daily to ensure that the olives are not bruised in the process, thereby eliminating any adverse effects to the oil‘s quality. Lérida EVOO is derived from the first extraction process of the select Arbequina olives. Fruity and relatively green, Lerida has hints of almond flavor and has a buttery, delicate flavor and aroma. It is renowned for these qualities. 9 061410PB Les Costes Estate Oil – This property, bought by Don Domingo Vea Santclement in 1942, was home to approximately 350 Arbequina olive trees. Over the years, the family purchased more acreage from adjacent estates and now has over 3,250 Arbequina olive trees! The average Arbequina olive tree on the Les Costes estate is 200 years old. As a result of increased age, productivity is reduced by about 20 kilos per tree. The regions lack of rain further reduces the estate‘s harvest. Les Costes is known to be difficult to access and farming is therefore complicated. The end result is well worth it! The regions soil is incredibly rich in minerals making Les Costes Estate Oil a truly outstanding liquid gem. Vea Extra Virgin Coffee Oil – A mixture of EVOO and virgin coffee oil obtained from hand-selected, roasted, Arabic beans from the prestigious area of Antigua in Guatemala. This oil is truly one of a kind. Arbequina EVOO blends seamlessly with the coffee oil due to its fresh, fruity flavor. Upon opening, the intoxicating aroma of freshly ground coffee, walnuts, almonds and spices perfumes the air. The taste is even more surprising! The rich texture of olive oil combined with the taste of fresh cut grass blends seamlessly with the rich flavor of perfectly roasted fresh coffee. As the flavor of coffee slowly disappears, you‘re left with the spicy sensations of wood, but smooth and persistent, like a good espresso.

Its aromas are exceptionally vivid and intense with reminiscences of green tomatoes, freshly mowed grass, artichoke and green almonds. On the palate it exhibits beautifully concentrated vegetable and nutty aromas. Its finish is pleasantly spicy and persistent. It is estate bottled in dark Bordeaux style glass like those of the family‘s world class wines. The oil is made predominantly from Picual olives and is custom blended with Arbequina and Manzanilla. It adds refinement and flavor when drizzled over roasted vegetables, cured meats and grilled fish. It‘s also excellent for tossing with pasta and salads or simply dipping a piece of wonderful crusty bread. NOTE: Carlos Falcó y Fernandez de Cordova is considered one of the great visionaries of the wine industry in 20th Century Spain. This fame rests with his innovations on his family‘s estate outside of Toledo. It is with the same zeal that they produce this fine olive oil. Look for opportunities to cross market these wines with the oils.

The grapes are slowly reduced to create a concentrated must, which is then fermented in a slow aging process that concentrates the flavors. The flavors develop and intensify over the course of time while the vinegar is stored in wooden casks. The end result is sweet, viscous and concentrated. Balsamic vinegar is classified in two categories: Industriale also called Condimento, and Tradizionale. Tradizionale, the finest balsamic vinegar, is labor-intensive to produce. To receive this designation, by Italian law, the vinegar must be produced from 100% pressed grape juice--called ―must‖ – that is cooked down, then aged in a series of special casks for no less than twelve years. Only two consortiums produce true balsamic vinegar, Modena and Reggio Emilia. 15 061410PB Modena (Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena) designates balsamic vinegars age by label color. Reggio Emilia (Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale de Reggio Emilia) uses a similar system to indicate the age of its balsamics. A white label means the vinegar has aged for at least 12 years and a gold label bearing the designation ―extravecchio‖ indicates that the vinegar has aged for 25 years or more. In addition to Tradizionale, most companies produce a less expensive, but high quality vinegar, called Industriale or Condimento that is the same vinegar but not aged as long. De Medici is proud to offer the most extensive selection of authentic and delicious balsamic vinegars available in the United States under one company. They have been meticulously selected during numerous trips to both Modena and Reggio Emilia. De Medici carries three brands of Tradizionale approved by the Consortiums of Reggio Emilia & Modena. They are Cavalli, Del Cristo and Villa Manodori. CAVALLI (REGGIO EMILIA, ITALY) Cavalli Balsamic is produced by the Cavalli brothers, preeminent in Reggio Emilia. They are the sons of Ferdinando Cavalli, the legendary founder of the provincial Consortium. Giovanni Cavalli, one of the greatest producers of Tradizionale in Reggio Emilia, resigned from the Consortium in order to independently produce Balsamic of Reggio Emilia according to his own EXACTING, HIGH standards. Although his father founded the Consortium, Giovanni believed that he must be free of the Consortium's constraints to achieve his vision of excellence. The Cavalli name and reputation assures the highest standard of quality. By law, this vinegar must be aged in wood casks of oak, cherry, mulberry, chestnut or juniper. Two basic levels of quality have been established --Silver Seal and Gold Seal. In Reggio Emilia, the Silver Seal represents balsamics aged a minimum of 12 years and the Gold Seal 25 years. However, these are minimums and do not reflect the true age of many of Cavalli‘s balsamics which can reach up to 300 years old. CAVALLI BALSAMIC VINEGARS (TRADIZIONALE), REGGIO EMILIA Cavalli Silver Seal Balsamic Silver Seal has a strong, sweet fragrance with thick, rich acidity and an intense bouquet. Bottles are numbered and come boxed with an informative booklet containing the company‘s history and recipes. Each bottle contains 100 ml. of Silver Label by Cavalli from Reggio Emilia, Italy. This balsamic is the beneficiary of Cavalli‘s 300 year old stocks. Plummy sweetness, cordovan color and delicate balance render this balsamic the leader in its category. GOLD TROPHY WINNER "OUTSTANDING CLASSIC" 1995 FANCY FOOD SHOW The Gold Seal Cavalli Balsamic An extraordinarily complex and rich balsamic with harmonious fragrances, more sweet than sour, with persuasive structure, it is dense, suave and persistent. It is splendid drizzled over savory and spicy cheeses, strawberries, cherries, pastry cream and ice cream. It also makes the perfect ending to a meal, sipped from a spoon or glass. Each bottle contains 100 ml of Gold Seal Balsamic Vinegar by Cavalli from Reggio Emilia, Italy, and is numbered and comes boxed with an informative booklet containing the company‘s history and recipes. 16 061410PB Cavalli Condiment Balsamic Of Reggio Emilia (Balsamic Condiment Seasoning) Based on the Tradizionale Reggio Emilia style, it is aged in wood and has a dense, aromatic, plummy sweetness considered to be slightly sweeter on the finish than Modenese balsamico. It is consistently rated as the best alternative to precious tradizionale balsamics. Cavalli's Classic Balsamico aged for 3 years in 50 liter barrels has Acidity of 6.0 - 6.50 % with a density of 1.25 g/ml. THE GOLD TROPHY WINNER “OUTSTANDING CLASSIC” 1995 FANCY FOOD SHOW Cavalli Riserva Nando Balsamic of Reggio Emilia (Balsamic Condimento) Riserva Nando, named after Ferdinando Cavalli, is the condimento balsamico that the late Nando Cavalli kept for his personal use. The antique mulberry and juniper barrels that Nando collected in the late 1920‘s have imparted this product with silky smooth richness, like rare port, with a deep prune-like color. Cavalli Riserva Nando is of a higher caliber than most condimento balsamico due to the fact that it is aged longer in small casks, resulting in a finer, more intense flavor. It is an excellent addition to marinades, mayonnaise, gravies and salads. Riserva Nando is aged for 5 years in chestnut and mulberry barrels and has an acidity rating of 6.5-7.0 % with a density of 1.32 g/ml. New Cavalli: Soft and Fruity Balsamico (Morbido & Fruttato) Cavalli Soft and Fruity Balsamico is the newest member of Cavalli Balsamics. With this new product, Giovanni Cavalli, our producer from Reggio Emilia with a renown reputation for quality, now provides the consumer three balsamics-- all of which provide a different profile within this category. Morbido & Fruttato made a stunning debut at the Summer Fancy Food Show in 2009. Cavalli balsamico has been acclaimed for its perfect balance of sweet and sour. Soft and Fruity, like Cavalli Balsamico and Riserva Nando, is produced solely from the same cooked grape must of Trebbiano grapes without any other added ingredients but Soft and Fruity is for those who prefer a sweeter taste in their balsamico--less acidic and softer. This taste was not available among balsamicos until now. Soft and Fruity brings forward the luscious sweetness of the select Trebbiano grape must. To create this product, the process is only somewhat different from production of Cavalli's other balsamics. The process starts out just like that of Cavalli balsamic "Classico", but in the middle of production it is topped off with younger fermented cooked must, and further aged in smaller 5 liter traditional wood barrels for 3 months making it a total of 15 months. This refilling reduces acidity and increases the sweet-fruity flavor. Aged in wood, it has a dense, aromatic, plummy sweetness considered to be slightly sweeter on the finish than Modenese balsamico. This product is younger, fruitier and less acetic than Cavalli Balsamic Condimento. The Acidity ranges from 5.0 - 5.5 % while the density is 1.18 g/ml. Use this product as you would any Cavalli Balsamic, but to your personal taste, whenever a fruitier flavor is desired. The subtle differences afford a wide variety of new experiences for the informed user of balsamic vinegars. Delicious sprinkled on lamb, drizzled on fresh berries, or whisked with extra virgin olive oil for salad dressing.

The Barbieri Family starts the production of the worldwide famous TRADITIONAL Balsamic Vinegar of Modena from their own biologically grown grapes. Their values and traditions make "Balsamico Tradizionale" a reality and famous for its high quality. The grapes utilized are Trebbiano and Lambrusco grapes only. The Del Cristo Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena (DOP) is produced by the family from maturing this grape must over a long and slow vinegarization process through natural fermentation. This is followed by progressive concentration by ageing in a series of casks made from different types of wood and without the addition of any other spices or flavorings. The vinegar‘s fluid yet syrup- like consistency is complemented by its rich, dark brown color full of warm light. Its flavor is distinctly complex, sharp, and unmistakably, but pleasantly, acidic. Del Cristo formerly produced only two certified Traditional Balsamic Vinegars: White Seal which is aged a minimum of 12 years and Extra Vecchio which is aged a minimum of 25 years. They recently introduced two new Traditional Balsamic Vinegars that were previously reserved for the family‘s private use. Both are White Seal balsamic vinegars aged for 12 years in either cherry or rare juniper wood. Traditional Cherry Balsamic is syrupy and smooth, like traditional White Seal, only with the elevated sweetness of taste and aroma that the wood imparts. Traditional Juniper Balsamic is also syrupy and smooth, like traditional White Seal, only with traces of resin from the wood that give it its characteristic body and spice-like flavor.

Slow, old fashioned methods do not fit easily into modern economy but Jean Francois Martin, 6th generation, is convinced that the company has survived solely because of the merits of the product. Maison Martin Pouret, founded in 1797, produces French vinegar using the traditional Orleans slow process. It is a Cabernet Franc based wine vinegar that solely uses grapes from the Bordeaux and Loire Valleys. The wine is fermented, and then aged in oak casks.

Saffron, the dried stigma of the Crocus Sativus plant, is the world‘s most precious spice, owing to the fact that it takes 160,000 flowers to produce 1 kg. Safinter follows ISO -3632 standards in its gardening technique and quality control. The saffron flower must be handpicked at dawn when it is in bloom. Saffron is only in bloom from 15 to 20 days of the year, usually during the end of October. The flowers are collected in baskets and transported to the village, where the precious stigmas are removed by hand. Many people, even professionals, find it difficult to distinguish good quality saffron from bad. One of the most marked indicators of quality saffron is its depth of color & flavor when cooking. General guidelines for judging the quality of Saffron before purchasing it are to look for the following: Genuine La Mancha Saffron filaments should be joined in three‘s at the base, they should be between two and four cm. long and their color should be a vibrant, bright red, never dark. When the label reads Safinter S.A, even the most discerning buyers can be assured that the highest quality of saffron is guaranteed. SAFINTER SMOKED PAPRIKA ―DENOMINATION OF ORIGIN" (SPAIN) The cultivation of red pepper for Pimenton was first introduced in the La Vera region of Spain in the XVI Century by monks. Pimenton de La Vera‘s exquisite flavor is due to the unique process by which is it made. La Vera Paprika (D.O.) is one of the most exclusive spices in the world, due to its unmistakable aroma and flavor. It is prepared from the dry pulp of the Ocales and Jaranda peppers grown in La Vera region, West of Spain. The secret of its excellence lies in the laborious and delicate process by which it is dried. A hearth filled with Holm oak wood is kept burning until the fruits become perfectly dehydrated. It is a slow process that takes between ten and fifteen days to complete. Experts turn each pepper by hand until dry perfection is achieved. This traditional system of drying gives the paprika its three fundamental characteristics: Balanced aroma, flavor and stability of color. Safinter smoked paprika is available in three flavors: sweet, bittersweet and hot. It will magically transform any dish it touches! Try it on pasta, meat, rice or as an addition to sauces, vinaigrettes, and stews.

Appreciated since antiquity for its aroma and vigorous taste, fine mustard reached new quality standards with the introduction of official laws governing production in 1634 in Dijon, France. Advancing from handmade means to stone grinding, pressing and sieving the seeds, a production site in the center of nearby Beaune, ancient capital of Burgundy wine, was established in 1840. Here the firm of Edmond Fallot (still family owned and operated by Edmond Fallot‘s great grandson) continues the uncompromising production of Dijon mustard by stone grinding the seeds, artfully blending them with the highest quality ingredients and following Fallot's own family recipes. These methods result in an intense robust taste not available in commercially produced "Dijon style" mustards. Perched at the edge of the plate, mustard is by definition, the ideal complement for every type of meat, from beef to poultry, pork to game, whether served hot or cold. As a seasoning, mustard enhances an oil and vinegar dressing. In a mayonnaise, or blended in a sauce, it will constitute a worthy accompaniment for broiled meats, roasts, or fish dishes. The culinary arts have always been inventive, but when it comes to finding new uses for mustards, they are extraordinarily so. In fact, mustard is known to possess "aperitif" or appetite-stimulating properties. Offered in the best shops around the world, the company has responded to consumer demand for variety and versatile usage. This classic, stone ground Dijon mustard is offered in jars, stoneware crocks and unique pails. Edmond Fallot Mustards – Offered in a variety of flavors including: Classic Dijon, Dijon W/ Honey & Balsamic, Dijon W/ Green Peppercorns, Dijon W/ Spiced Honey, Dijon W/ Tarragon, Dijon W/ Basil, Classic Dijon W/ Burgundy Wine and Dijon with Blackcurrant.
