Mushrooms

The shiitake mushroom is one of the traditional mushrooms of many Asian cuisines. Originally wild-harvested in Japan and Korea, shiitake mushrooms have been farmed by the Japanese for over 600 years, and are now cultivated around the world.Dried shiitake mushrooms reconstitute very well and are frequently preferred over fresh in many dishes.&nbsp;The meaty flesh of the shiitake imparts its distinctive full-bodied, woodsy flavor to any dish. The convex, cinnamon brown, thick fleshy caps make a wonderful meat substitute for vegetarians. The meaty flesh of the shiitake is frequently substituted for other "wild mushrooms" in many dishes, but this versatile fungus is suitable for almost any cooking method from grilling to simmering and stir-frying.Use shiitakes in traditional Asian dishes, in hearty mushroom soups or in savory sauces for meat and poultry. Excellent in risottos, omelettes, and quiche.Health benefits:Many health benefits have been attributed to eating shiitake mushrooms, including strengthening the immune system.&nbsp;Shiitake mushrooms are high in vitamins B and D. Studies have shown that these flavorful and readily available mushrooms may have&nbsp;anti-tumor, cholesterol-lowering, and antiviral properties.Product of China

Truffles

Truffles have a reputation as exotic and expensive luxuries, but the summer truffle (Tuber aestivum) is an exception.With a rough black exterior and brown flesh mottled with white veins, Summer truffles are less intense in flavor and aroma than the highly prized black winter truffle, but cost a fraction of the price of their expensive winter cousins. Their taste is mild and somewhat mushroomy, but extremely pleasant.Normally harvested during the spring and summer months, Summer Truffles are ideal for canapes and first courses, pasta sauces, eggs, potatoes, rice or meat and fish dishes. They have a thicker skin than the black winter truffle, and are less pungent (and therefore less expensive!) than their winter cousins.With their enticing flavor, fragrant aroma, spectacular appearance and moderate price, Summer Truffles present a tremendous value.

Somehow the term “vanilla” has come to mean simple, plain or ordinary. Nothing could be further from the truth, for there is something incredibly special about what is arguably the world’s favorite flavorThe aromatic vanilla bean, once reserved for royalty, is among the costliest spices on earth, second only to saffron. Even now, after centuries of cultivation, vanilla is still relatively expensive, primarily because of the labor-intensive and time-consuming methods required to produce it.The price of vanilla is very volatile, in part because of continued political &amp; social unrest in Madagascar, the major producer of high quality vanilla.Madagascar (Bourbon) VanillaMadagascar, the world’s largest producer of vanilla beans, is the source of the famed Madagascar Bourbon vanilla and still produces the world’s finest and most consistent vanilla. (Incidentally, the term “Bourbon” has nothing to do with the liquor produced in Kentucky – but rather, derives its name from the old name for Madagascar – the Bourbon Islands.)&nbsp;Madagascar Bourbon vanilla is considered to be the highest quality pure vanilla available, typified by a creamy, sweet, smooth, mellow flavor. Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla is known for its “staying power”, which makes it especially suited to pairing with rich foods.Using Vanilla in Savory DishesVanilla might seem to be an odd flavor to pair with savory ingredients, but when used with a light touch, it adds a subtle, but delicious note to the naturally sweet, rich flavor of the pork, fowl and seafood, especially lobster, scallops and prawns.4 oz whole Madagascar vanilla beans
