Most ketchup is watered-down and overly sweet from corn syrup. Not so with Mutti's product, which has a full tomato taste because it's made from concentrated tomato paste instead of puree. The ketchup also has a wonderful balance of flavors: robust and savory with a touch of spice. We like that Mutti makes this condiment with wine vinegar, which adds dimension and offsets tomatoes' ripe sweetness.

In France's Dijon arrondissement, where—you guessed it—Dijon mustard originated, Reine de Dijon has been making its creamy, aromatic mustards the traditional way since 1840. The company's high-quality Whole Grain Mustard has a wonderful consistency and just enough texture from the plump mustard seeds. We love how the mustard spice is balanced by tangy and sweet notes, with no one flavor overwhelming another.

This Bacon box was curated specially for Milk Street. The box includes: 1 x (12oz) Maple Sugar Small-Batch Bacon Strips, 1 x (12oz) Smoky Paprika Small-Batch Bacon Strips, 1 x (12oz) Salt and Pepper Small-Batch Bacon Strips, 1 x (8oz) Smoked Lardons 1 x (8oz) Salt and Pepper Ground Bacon

Smoky Paprika Small-Batch Bacon Strips, Salt and Pepper Small-Batch Bacon Strips, and Maple Sugar Small-Batch Bacon Strips: These small-batch strips are just thick enough to retain a light chew and perfectly seasoned (not too salty, like some store-bought bacon). Their smokiness is sweet and flavorful, without being harsh and campfire-like. The Maple Sugar has a light, pleasant sweetness, and the Smoky Paprika has a subtle, smoky heat from the paprika and black pepper.

Smoked Lardons: Lardons, bite-sized pieces from slab bacon, are used for their fat, flavor and texture. These have a great ratio of fat to muscle. Crisp them up (start in a cold pan) until the fat is rendered out and the pieces are golden-brown—use the lardons to garnish and cook with the flavorful bacon fat left behind.

Ground Bacon: Use 100% unadulterated coarse ground bacon to add smoky bacon flavor and salty boost to burgers, meatloaf, meatballs and soups or use as a crispy, crumbly garnish.

You’ll never look at relish the same way again after tasting this sweet, tart and spicy mustard-spiked version. It’s a bolder version of the producer’s grandmother’s generations-old chow chow recipe, with plenty of heat from Mama Lil’s signature pickled Hungarian Goathorn peppers. Sweet cubes of pickle are at the fore of this bright yellow condiment, followed by an aromatic hit of mustard, finishing with a lingering, mouth-watering heat that truly sets this relish apart.

Like flaky salt or a squeeze of lemon, pickled red onions are one of those essential hip-pocket ingredients that will make a dish pop. They’ve got the right combination of piquancy and sweetness to elevate and sharpen flavors and an addictive crunch to keep a dish engaging start to finish. But after being dissatisfied with the versions we found on the market, we decided to make our own. Milk Street’s Pickled Red Onions are the perfect balance of tart, sweet, spicy, with rich onion flavor. The addition of coriander, allspice and árbol chili adds a great depth to the mixture, while the fresh crunch adds bright texture—other versions we tried were mostly mush. Use as an all-purpose accent for almost any dish, from tacos to curries to salads.

Milk Street’s Tuscan Fennel and Herb takes its cues from the bold blends Tuscan cooks slather on pork for the classic dish, porcetta. Sweet fennel seed is paired with mixed herbs, pungent garlic, sharp chili and bright citrus. Oaxacan Chili Spice showcases fruity guajillo and morita (chipotle) chilis, warming spices, garlic and a touch of earthy raw sugar to temper the heat. It’s complex and smoky-sweet, just shy of spicy. Argentine Chimichurri Rojos elevates smoky, sweet and spicy paprika with garlic, oregano and tangy red wine vinegar. Smoky Catalan Spice combines Spain’s finest sweet and smoked paprikas with herbs and a touch of raw sugar for an all-purpose blend. And Punjabi Tandoori Curry is a heady blend of warm and earthy spices, plus turmeric, garlic and bright Kashmiri chili. It’s inspired by the spice rub slathered atop meats and more for blazing-hot tandoor roasting.

In France's Dijon arrondissement, where—you guessed it—Dijon mustard originated, Reine de Dijon has been making its creamy, aromatic mustards the traditional way since 1840. The company's classic Dijon Mustard is so silky and light on the palate that it almost reminds us of whipped cream, and its flavor is cleaner and earthier than basic yellow mustard because it's made with fresh mustard seeds. A touch of vinegar perfectly balances the pungency with a tangy accent for a balanced, robust version of this classic.

Paprika XXL Bacon Steak: These 1/2 inch thick bacon steaks aren’t for the faint of heart. We like to think of them as special occasion bacon, decadent and deeply flavored enough to be a showstopper at brunch or dinner, with a hint of warm spice from the paprika. Sear them in 2-inch pieces if you’re intimidated by their size; these are great on salads, risotto or with eggs.

We were so surprised by the refreshing crunch of these pickled beans, as many can typically grow soggy. Sourced from local Oregon farmers, they’re snappy and zingy and maintain their shape while in the jar. The pickle brine is laden with spices, garlic and infused with the producer’s signature spicy Hungarian Goathorn peppers. And while the pleasant heat balances the tang, it’s mild enough that these beans can be used for anything that calls for pickled veggies.
