These light-as-air crisps come to us from Victoria, Australia. We fell in love with them at first bite. They are small, pressed crackers with a waffle-like imprint on their surface. Because they are so thin, they are perfect with pates, cheeses, dips, and antipasti. You can enjoy the full flavor of your topping without getting bogged down with cracker. We offer them in five varieties: Original, Tuscan, Organic, Seasame & Poppyseed, Provencal and Australiana. The Provencal variety is kissed with the flavor of rosemary and thyme, and the Original is pleasingly crispy without any strong flavors to mingle with your cheese. The Tuscan has basil, sundried tomato, poppyseeds, garlic, and pepper flavor. Australiana is their latest creation, featuring lemon myrtle and Australian bush tomato, which are flavors unique to Australia. - Varieties sold separately.

After a long wait, we finally bring you chorizo cured in Spain. You will immediately notice the difference between this chorizo and domestic imitations. Palacios, a company based in Logroño, the capital of the La Rioja region, earned permission from the U.S. authorities to export chorizo to the U.S. in 1997, but it wasn't until 2001 that it started entering the country in any significant quantity. Palacios Chorizo does not contain any preservatives or artificial colors; just pork sausage cured with paprika and garlic. They use a traditional process, using a secret 30-year-old family recipe. Its meat and natural ingredients are carefully selected, creating a smoky, earthy, sweet and tangy sausage.
Finally, Americans can enjoy one of the true culinary treasures of Spain! Chorizo is excellent in stews, potages, omelets, paellas, or served as part of a tapas. It makes a statement, with a flavor so powerful that it does not influence a dish subtly. Available in regular or hot. Varieties sold separately. |

About 100 years ago, a farmer's wife who lived in North Zealand (one of Denmark's most romantic islands -- a trysting place for lovers) became interested in the art of cheesemaking. She traveled through Europe to learn the secrets of this craft. Upon her return, she began to experiment with her newly acquired techniques. She named her finest creation after her farm, "Havarthi". Today's Cream Havarti is a direct descendant. It has an ivory interior patterned with a myriad of tiny holes and is mild, creamy and mellow. We are featuring five of our favorite varieties: garlic and herb, dill, jalapeno, caraway and chive.

The history of Douwe Egberts starts in 1753, when a husband and wife opened The White Ox, a gourmet shop, in the North of Holland. Their offerings focused on coffee, tea and tobacco-- products that were imported from the Far East and traded in Amsterdam. Sales grew rapidly and soon Douwe Egberts started a wholesaling and distribution business. They built their first coffee roasting plant in 1919 and began exporting their premium quality coffee in 1930. By 1960, Douwe Egberts accounted for more than half of Dutch coffee exports. Available in three varieties - Dark Roast, Medium Roast, and Decaffeinated. We have found no other coffee that can match the heady power and richness of these blends. Varieties sold separately. |

Compared to Dutch gouda, it is lighter in color and slightly firmer, but with the same exquisite melting quality. Holland Mill gouda from Uruguay can be used for similar applications as other young goudas—as a table cheese with fruit, melted on sandwiches, as a pizza topping or as a creamy addition to hot dishes and appetizers. For a simple and delicious lunch, make a wheat pannini with this gouda, roasted red peppers, and a few thin slices of cured speck.

The Italians are horrified by our usage of this, the world's most famous hard cheese. Here in the States, it is thought of as purely a grating cheese. The rest of the world savours Parmigiano Reggiano as a delicious, full-flavored eating cheese. It began life seven centuries ago in the Italian provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, part of Bologna and part of Mantua. Nature blessed this zone with the most idealistic cattle grazing land to create the unique milk from the "Zone Tripica". The local cheese craftsmen took it from there, utilizing a totally natural process that has not changed for 700 years. No additives, no machinery, no gimmicks. Just sweet, fresh milk in its pristine state; the artisan's ancient skills and then nature's own good time (aged from 18 to 20 months). What you see today is just what the knights, serfs, saints and kings of old ate!
America's Test Kitchen and Cook's Illustrated have both voted igourmet.com's Parmigiano Reggiano #1 in their quest to find the best Parmesan in America today. "We preferred the igourmet regular and Vacche Rosse Parmigiano-Reggiano by a landslide, ranking them significantly higher than the other cheeses for complexity of flavor and appealing texture. And when we tasted the regular Parmigiano from igourmet against our supermarket cheeses, it was an easy winner."
