Bergamot Organic Olive Oil
Making Tuna Fish Sandwiches with a twist!
Canned tuna followed lobster, crab and salmon into the sandwich along with the “dressings” that were common at the time. Classic recipes might have included eggs, apple, red onion or shallots along with lemon juice.
We’ve changed it up replacing the onion and salt with Yuzu Kosho, and the citrus acid and juice with tangy Bergamot Organic Olive Oil.
We chose to use Sacred Sea tuna as it's cooked in its own juices, no added oils and a bit drier than the others. The Bergamot then adds a bit of moisture and a distinct flavor note of citrus. The Yuzu Kosho adds its own citrus bite, salt and a touch of spice. All together it makes tuna salad, a tuna fish sandwich pretty darn tasty without deviating from our memories of our childhood.

Thanksgiving Traditions! Fact and Fiction
What you didn’t know was served!
In 1939, President Roosevelt changed Thanksgiving from the “final” to the fourth Thursday in November as was designated by President Lincoln in 1863, who was influenced by “Mary Had a Little Lamb” author Sarah Josepha Hale to declare a day of thanks.
Previously, a day of thanks was sporadically celebrated and not every year. This includes one of the first Thanksgivings that took place in Mid-October when the last of the sweet corn had been harvested and before the snow started to flurry.
On this table of food, in the shadow of Beacon Hill in the North End of Boston, the day was celebrated with Corncakes from Effies, Chef Renee’s Pickled Cherries, Whiskey Barrel Pickles, and Mama Lil's Pickled Green Beans. Remember potatoes wouldn’t get traction in the US until 1719. And the only Apples native to North America were Crabs.
So, in addition to the local venison, wild turkey was introduced to the meal and of course the Winter Season Parmigiano-Reggiano had just arrived (though it is expected in mid—November this year). Known for its ability to travel long distances without breaking down, it was a natural food for the Thanksgiving table! A Cristoforo Colombo fave, of course.
Surprisingly, Parmigiano-Reggiano was better in the new colonies early on because the additional travel time that it took to get the wheels of cheese to the new world added months to the aging, creating what we now look forward to. Parm that is aged at least 24 months creates crunchy little specs of tyrosine (non-essential amino acid) and an excellent indication of a very special cheese.
The winter cheese is when the cows are inside the barn, feeding on hay, creating a sweet, delicate milk. Smoothest of the seasons with more butterfat, this winter Parmigiano-Reggiano comes from the mountains adding a twinge of sharpness compared to the cheese of the lowlands.
Pre-Order your Parmigiano-Reggiano Winter Season cheese now! We expect limited supply of this 32 month old to arrive Mid-November. Items needed before November should be placed in separate order.

Traditional Panettone from Italy
Pre-order Now!
We have had many requests to "turn on" the Panettone so you don't miss out when they finally arrive in November. If you plan on giving Panettone as your seasonal gift this year you might want to "order up" early to ensure that you get your first choice. Some varieties are extremely limited and are not available to purchase in multiple quantities.
Our order was placed in July and will ship towards the end of October, barring any transportation strikes. So, if you place your order today, your cakes will ship as soon as they arrive. We expect mid-November this year.
Remember we don't charge until we ship and local orders we can hold for pick-up. Items needed before November should be placed in a separate order.
Pre-order your choice of Panettone now!
