The Fancy Foods Show this weekend in San Francisco was amazing! I’ve never been before, and wanted to share some highlights with all of you.
My top 3 food finds
Sense Rose Nectar - This company is out of Hendersen, NV (right next to Las Vegas), and with a tag line like “Taste the Bouquet”, I could hardly resist. The nectar is actually very light and not too sweet. It really does taste like you are sipping in the smell of freshly cut roses. I’d probably use this to add a little something to lemonade, champagne, or even white sangria.
Amella’s Caramels – Caramels are already so delicious to begin with, but imagine if you added just a touch of cocoa butter to each one! That’s exactly what Amella’s does, and the result is one of the richest, smoothest,
and most luxurious caramels you’ve ever tasted. They have three flavors and here they are in preference order: Passion Fruit, Carrot Cake, and Black Forest.
Burrata – This is a fresh Italian cheese made out of cream and mozzarella. And it’s absolutely divine. I tried it for the first time on Saturday night at Absinthe in San Francisco. It’s part of their beet salad (which is also divine – fresh beets, burrata, pistachios, mizuna, salt / pepper, and a touch of olive oil). There were a number of Italian creameries sampling Burrata at the Fancy Foods Show. It’s now available in select specialty food shops.
Honorable mentions:
Zingerman’s (GO BLUE!) now has a candy bar line! Three yummy flavors.
Raw Honey – It’s sweet, gritty, and oh-so delicious.
Dogswell – Finally, good for you and great tasting food for your dog.
Alo Aloe Vera Drink – It’s not just for sun burns and cuts any more!
