The Magic Ingredient
It's Not Just For Baking!

Colomba Sweet BreadVanilla Extracts

from Patricia Rain

Vanilla extract may be a common household pantry item, but it is actually an extraordinarily complex product deserving special consideration. From woody and spicy notes, to a delicate floral bouquet, the fragrance and flavor of vanilla extracts can differ dramatically depending upon vanilla bean variety, country of origin, and care in processing.

 

We source our vanilla extracts from Patricia Rain. Known as the Vanilla Queen, her expertise on this incredible ingredient is second to none. These three extracts represent the world's finest sources for natural vanilla beans. Each have uses in the pantry beyond traditional baking borders.

Bourbon Vanilla Extract - Named for an Indian Ocean island, and not the whiskey, Bourbon vanilla's strong natural flavor makes it excellent for baking and ice creams. It could also add sultry fragrance to bold savory dishes such as a Moroccan tagine of chicken stewed with tomatoes, preserved lemons, olives, harissa and dried apricots.

Tahitian Vanilla Extract - A relative newcomer to the flavor world, Tahitian vanilla is actually a different species. It is known for its fruit and floral flavor, reminiscent of cherries, prunes, raisins and anise. The fruity flavor is very good in cream and custard desserts, as well as fruit specialties. Just a drop of Tahitian Vanilla in drinking chocolate will completely transform the average cup of hot cocoa.

Mexican Vanilla Extract - Once known worldwide as the finest vanilla, Mexican vanilla is enjoying a renaissance in popularity. Smooth, creamy flavor, with sweet, spicy, woody and pronounced vanilla notes. Mexican Vanilla Extract is especially good in ethnic foods, desserts, fresh fruit and beverages, including alcoholic drinks such as margaritas. Your favorite mole sauce or enchilada sauce will never be the same without it!
 

Eat Me! Rose Petal TrioA Market Hall Foods EXCLUSIVE!

Eat Me! Rose Petals

On a recent buying trip to Europe, we were captivated by Uncle Roy's Eat Me! Rose Petals. Dazzling in color and perfect in shape, these rose petals are insecticide and herbicide-free making them an exotic and clean garnish for any dish or occasion. Although the name suggests eating them, to be honest, they don't have much taste, so we suggest using the petals for decorative purposes. These perfectly preserved whole rose petals would look elegant floating in champagne, or, they'd make a stunning decoration atop a fanciful cake. Try scattering the petals around place settings for a romantic touch to your dinner party. Eat Me! Rose Petals are available in Pink, Burgundy and Hot Pink.
