Item #3322 - Case (12 x 8oz)
Susie Hojel, who was born and raised in Mexico City before moving to the States, made this mixture of dried roasted chiles, garlic, onions, spices, and oil four to replace a chile oil salsa she ate as a child. Along with the deeply satisfying texture, the level of chile heat is just enough to punch up whatever you put it on but not so hot to keep you from coming back for more. While it’s great on Mexican food, almost anything from pasta to eggs to vegetables benefit from a spoonful or two. (VE, GF)

Item #2008 - Case (12 x 9oz)
Onions, garlic, and ginger are slowly sautéed with fresh jalapeños, then simmered with spices, tomatoes, Thai chilis, lime, and vinegar. Maple syrup balances out the spice and tang, and a touch of Vietnamese fish sauce adds depth and umami. Use Bobbie’s Classic where you might reach for ketchup, and add it to foods that would never be eaten with ketchup. (GF)

More eggs, no sugar, and the tang of apple cider vinegar make Duke's creamier and better tasting than other jarred mayos. Created by an enterprising woman more than 100 years ago, it’s still made where she lived in Greenville, South Carolina. Duke’s has a fiercely loyal following of award-winning chefs who make everything in their restaurant kitchens except mayonnaise. They use Duke's. (V, GF)

Item #4141 - Case (6 x 10oz)
This blend of dried chiles, garlic, and spices has been staple of Tunisian, Libyan, Algerian, and Moroccan cuisine since Latin American peppers came to the Middle East in the 16th century. Hand made by New York Shuk using an old family recipe, and only in small batches, it’s spicy but not hot from the blend of three different chiles. While it’s perfect with dishes inspired by the Levant, New York Shuk’s signature harissa is delicious with everything. (VE, GF)
