 1. Mugolio (Pine Cone Bud Syrup)
from Primitivizia
The Dolomite Alps hold the secret to one of our favorite products - the mugo pine. Elinora Cunacia, owner of Primitivizia, harvests these pine cones and stores them in sun-drenched glass jars for a few months, coaxing out the sweet syrup from within. In late Autumn, the syrup is filtered and cooked with sugar to a deep golden brown liquid. This syrup has a rich, pine and honey flavor that is a perfect complement to apples and pears, creamy cheeses like ricotta or mascarpone and stone fruits like peaches. Mugolio - $25 |

3. Tupelo Honey from the
Savannah Bee Company
From coastal Georgia, we think this is one of the best honeys in the US. The Tupelo tree flowers for a very short time each year and it is within this small window of opportunity that the honey is produced. This variety of honey has a lot of interesting characteristics, one of which is its unique structure. It never crystallizes so you've always got a smooth honey when you need it. It's incredible flavor is mellow and sweet with a buttery texture. The tall bottle makes a spectacular a dramatic gift.

Try the gold powder atop creamy vanilla buttercreams on cakes or cupcakes. The flakes are even more impactful - float the gold flakes in a Kir Royale for a most-elegant cocktail party.
