Wild Italian
secret ingredent for outstanding chicken
"This makes the most tantalizing addition to a roast chicken. I rubbed the chicken with olive oil, gray salt and a clove of garlic, then sprinkled the fennel pollen all over liberally. Crisp, subtle and fragrant skin, really easy and different."

Organic Oatmeal
Food & Wine talks about Oatmeal of Alford
"Most oats resist quick cooking. Now Scotland's The Oatmeal of Alford is offering stone-ground organic pinhead oats that are slightly smaller than steel-cut oats and cook to a nutty, risotto-like consistency in only 20 minutes."

The Best
"This is a very special item. It adds layers and layers of complexity to your meal. Whereas most Harissas use spice to build complexity, Villa Jerada balances spice with olive oil, roasted peppers and hot and sweet flavors. It is not as spicy as many, but it is the most complex. I try to find an excuse to use it everyday (thus learning that it is great on eggs, mixed into popcorn and of course on chicken and fish)."

Holy Mackerel, Batman!
Is this the new tuna?!
Stored in a glass jar so you can see what’s inside. You can pull the pieces out without them self-destructing like so many canned fishy do. Not too soft and not too firm. This delicate fish is delicious.
Taste wise, these guys are not overly fishy, though they have flavor. Good flavor. Not salty like anchovies, nor overly strong like sardinies. Like a happy marriage of the big three, it's a pretty delicious choice.
Top on a single cracker it all comes together. As always, as with any Ortiz top notch product, even the oil they put in the jar is special and worth savoring.
This time around there wasn't enough (after all the sampling) to make a mackerel salad sandwich but I'm looking forward to it. With a nice sweet pickle in the mix, along with the mayo, it’s really going to make a great sandwich when springtime finally gets here.
You won't go wrong if you like little swimmers in your life and these mackerel are a perfect addition to any pantry that's already stocked with sardines and tuna!
