Kalamata Estate EVOO
Papadimitriou Family Farm · Peloponnese, Greece
“Grassy, peppery finish, liquid sunshine”
Cold-pressed within hours of harvest from 200-year-old Koroneiki trees on a terraced hillside above the Gulf of Messinia.
The Maker
The Papadimitriou family has been pressing oil on the same stone mill since 1887. They harvest by hand every November, before the olives fully ripen, chasing that high-polyphenol window that gives the oil its grassy bite.

Smoked Árbol Fuego
Mesa Verde Hot Co. · Austin, TX
“Smoky, slow-building heat, charred plum depth”
Chiles de árbol smoked over mesquite, fermented three weeks, finished with a splash of apple cider vinegar. Born in a 400 sq ft East Austin kitchen.
The Maker
Ramona Castellanos quit her accounting job in 2021 to make hot sauce full-time. She grows her own chiles in a community garden plot and smokes every batch herself on a borrowed offset smoker.
Pairs well with
Squid Ink Mafaldine
Locanda Pasta Works · Brooklyn, NY
“Briny ocean whisper, silky, holds sauce like a dream”
Rolled weekly in a Carroll Gardens basement by Giulia Ferretti using durum semolina, free-range eggs, and Sicilian squid ink. Dried slow over 48 hours.
The Maker
Giulia moved from Palermo to Brooklyn for love, then discovered her neighborhood had no proper fresh pasta. She started rolling on Sundays for friends; now she rolls Tuesday through Saturday for subscribers like you.
Pairs well with
Thyme Blossom Raw Honey
Kythera Wild Apiaries · Kythera Island, Greece
“Floral, herbal, amber warmth with a clean finish”
Harvested once a year from wild thyme growing on limestone cliffs above the Aegean. Unpasteurized, unfiltered, granulates naturally in winter.
The Maker
Nikos Andreou tends 60 hives on an island with no traffic lights and one ferry a week. His honey is so specific to its terroir that it changes flavor depending on which hillside the bees favored that season.
Pairs well with
Rose Harissa
Dar Zitoun Preserves · Tunis, Tunisia
“Floral heat, roasted pepper sweetness, rose petal finish”
A Tunisian grandmother's recipe: dried rose petals, caraway, coriander, and three varieties of sun-dried peppers ground by hand with sea salt.
The Maker
Fatima Ben Ali learned this recipe from her mother in Sidi Bou Said. She makes 200 jars a month — not more, never less — because that's what she can do without cutting corners.
Pairs well with
Aged Sherry Vinegar
Bodega Miralles · Jerez, Spain
“Nutty, complex, dried fruit depth — nothing like supermarket vinegar”
Aged 12 years in American oak barrels using the solera method. Made from Palomino grapes, the same variety as fino sherry. A tablespoon transforms a dish.
The Maker
The Miralles family has been making vinegar in the same bodega since 1952, using barrels that previously held 30-year sherry. The building smells like the inside of a cathedral.
Pairs well with
Ras el Hanout Blend
Spice Merchant Collective · Marrakech, Morocco
“Warm, complex, rose-flecked — perfume you can eat”
Twenty-two spices blended by hand by Khalid Benali in his family's medina stall. No fillers, no anti-caking agents — just spice and intention.
The Maker
Khalid's grandfather opened this spice stall in 1963. The blend has changed 47 times since then — always getting more interesting. He refuses to write down the current formula.

Overheard at the
next market stall.
Friday night unboxing has completely replaced restaurant night. My partner and I spend two hours in the kitchen instead of two hours waiting for a table.

I bought a gift subscription for my dad who thinks he's seen everything in food. He called me after the Oaxacan box. First time I've heard him speechless.

The harissa from Tunisia turned a $12 grocery store chicken into the best thing I've cooked in years. I've since ordered three more jars directly from the maker.
