SAVORY FEATURES

Pacific Gourmet – A Great Resource for the Best Chefs.

We have assembled an inventory that reflects the irresistible trend toward a genuinely global cuisine. When chefs show interest in an unusual ingredient, we listen.

When we source an exotic or singular item, we make it a point to share our find. We hardly ignore our local treasures but recognize that remarkable combinations can come from both near and far.

SAVORY FEATURES

OLIO NUOVO EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL 2023 HARVEST, SPEDALOTTO

(OOL012) 500 ML

Olio Nuovo is the first pressing of just-harvested olives. It is olive oil in its most intense, raw state—the ultimate condiment! We celebrate Olio Nuovo as a seasonal gift of nature, and just like white truffles, this oil needs to be enjoyed as quickly as possible. We pour Olio Nuovo copiously over everything: bruschetta, hearty soups, slow-cooked beans, grilled meats, steamed and raw vegetables, gelato…the list goes on!

SIBERIAN STURGEON

We carry three different zaatars from three different countries in the Middle East and three different heritage grits from three different counties in South Carolina.

Like a museum curator or a symphony director, a good purveyor knows that you don’t throw out the old masters but you must keep things interesting with new sounds and colors – or flavors.

If you don’t see what you’re looking for in our catalog, ask us for it anyway. It might be already in our sights.
