Beans
Gaston — Oregon
Item #5360 - 5lb
Grown by Anthony & Carol Boutard in Gaston, Oregon, Otello's Pebbles have an excellent assertive flavor and silky texture; they cook down to a soupy, beany broth wonderful with lambs shanks and pork shoulder. Named after a mysterious bean farmer named Otello, they arrived in Gaston as an unmarked and unsolicited packet of mixed seeds, sent from a friend of the Boutards' who also has an interest in obscure varieties. If not for a small patch of unplanted soil at the end of a row, they may have been lost to history. Thanks to Anthony and Carol, we get to enjoy their distinctly delicious flavors. (VE, GF)

Item #5276 - 25lb
Sustainably grown in Washington State by Haricot Farms, these white beans are smaller than most white beans and have a slightly flattened, oval shape. They got their name from the sailors who’ve been eating them on the regular since the 1800s. Navy beans work well for Boston-style baked beans, Southern-style white beans and rice, or classic bean soup. Cook 3-4 hours or until done in a low oven (200F) covered in well-salted water with a good shot of extra virgin olive oil, or soak overnight, drain and cover with well-salted water, bring to a boil, cover and simmer until tender, about an hour.

Beverages
Sicily — Italy
Item #9520 - 4 x 330ml
Item #9521 - Case (24 x 330ml)
Cultivated in southern Italy for hundreds of years, the Sicilian blood orange has long been prized for its crimson colored flesh and raspberry-like aromatics. While delightful on its own, we like to mix this soda with white wine and a bitter aperitif like Cappelletti for a sophisticated, cooling long drink on hot summer afternoons. Squint, and imagine Italia! (VE, GF)
Sicily — Italy
Item #9525 - 4 x 330ml
Item #9526 - Case (24 x 330ml)
Refreshingly tart, this traditional limonata is made from Sicily's famed Siracusa lemons. While perfect on its own, this has become a favorite mixer of ours, especially for warm weather drinking. Mix it with gin and pour over ice for the world's easiest Collins, or with Cocchi Americano for a low-ABV cooler. For something more exotic, try it with bitter Italian liqueurs like Cappelletti and Cardamaro. (VE, GF)
Crodo — Italy
Item #9610 - Case (60 x 100ml)
Italy's best selling non-alcoholic aperitivo, Crodino is traditionally served in a wine goblet over ice, garnished simply with a slice of orange. Made the same way in the same small Italian village since 1964, its bitter sweet flavor is herbal and citrus-forward with notes of grapefruit and vanilla, and makes for a lovely afternoon sipper. We also like it as a long drink, topped with soda water, and it does well mixed into cocktails, both traditional and non-alcoholic. Try it with gin or grappa for an intriguing continental Collins, or combine with A'Sciliana Lemon Soda for a teetotaler's take on the same. Either way, it's best enjoyed on a shady terrace with friends and a few nibbles before the evening meal.
Calabria — Italy
Item #9530 - 4 x 250ml
Item #9531 - Case (24 x 250ml)
Whether an Aperol Spritz or an afternoon espresso, Italy does the midday pick me up better than almost anywhere. This unusual and refreshing carbonated drink from Calabria is made with small-batch espresso and lightly sweetened with cane sugar. Especially indulgent topped with cream, its deep, bittersweet notes of caramel and lively fizz also pair well with aged spirits, from whiskey to grappa. (VE, GF)

Bergamo — Italy
Item #9655 - Case (40 x 100ml)
Our favorite non-alcoholic aperitivo, Sanbitter is still made in Italy using real cane sugar. Herbal and bittersweet, Sanbitter is essentially a non-alcoholic version of the iconic Campari-Soda, a drink typically taken by Italians in the afternoon to awaken the appetite before settling into an evening meal. The adorable 100ml (3.5oz) bottles deliver a lot of flavor in a small package (and make for a charming bud vase when empty), and it’s great with a splash of soda and a lemon twist or simply on its own over ice. (VE, GF)

Traditional mochi is made by pounding sweet rice with a little water. But modern mochi makers turn to mochiko, fine rice flour made from the same rice, which has a unique starch content that produces the chewy texture of mochi. Mochiko provides structure to gluten-free baked goods, and it can be used to coat fried foods. (VE, GF)
