Baratti & Milano Christmas Ornament Set
Baratti & Milano’s ornaments play double duty, both as beautiful decorations for the holidays and later to be twisted open to discover creamy Italian treats made by master chocolatiers. Depicting vintage scenes from the company’s history on the outside, each ornament is filled with four, three-layer confections called cremino. They’re made with Tonda e Gentile hazelnuts—a protected hazelnut grown in Langhe, Piedmont—and combine a top and bottom layer of silky, smooth gianduja (chocolate and hazelnut) with a velvety hazelnut center.
Goyon St. Vincent Wine Opener
Made entirely by hand in Goyon-Chazeau’s knife workshop in Thiers, France, this beautiful tool is part wine opener, part pocket knife. It comes with a full-cutting, 4.5-inch blade. It’s designed by Robert Beillonnet, a renowned French cutlery expert synonymous with beautiful, functional knives. The blade, notched lever and thin corkscrew are made from sturdy, hardened steel that will stand up to a lifetime of heavy use. And it makes an elevated gift (especially for the person who has everything)—every wine opener comes in a leather pouch and cork gift box.
Pearson Farm Whole Pecans — 3 lbs
These massive Georgia pecans of the Desirable variety are a favorite in the South, to be cracked end enjoyed straight from the shell. The shell is thin enough that the nut is easy to crack but it opens up to a sizable, robustly flavored pecan, great for baking and snacking. These in-shell pecans are #1 USDA Grade A Select and come beautifully packaged in a burlap bag.
Pearson Farm Elliot Natural Pecan Halves
Plump and round with a light sweetness and high oil content, you’ll love using these Georgia-grown out-of-shell pecan halves for snacking and baking. We love that these are Elliot pecans, smaller and plumper than the more standard Stuart pecans.
Pearson Farm Pecans—Set of 3 Flavors: Toasted and Salted, Champagne, and Maple
This selection of pecans by Pearson Farm in Fort Valley, Georgia, features three addictive flavors. The first, toasted and salted, are just that—baked pecans tossed in butter and sea salt for a delicate balance of flavor. Champagne features crunchy, sweet pecans rolled in real sparkling wine and spiced with cinnamon, ground ginger and sugar. And maple crumbles balance the sweetness of authentic syrup with a touch of salt to balance the sweet. Munch on them by the handful or try on top of desserts, over yogurt, swirled into oatmeal or even as a crunchy salad topping.

Goyon Juniper Wood Le Thiers Pirou Folding knife with Leather Pouch and Box
The elegant design of the Goyon Chazeau “Thiers” folding knife was sourced from the region’s top knifemakers to best represent the long lineage of knifemaking in the city. Don’t underestimate the simple, classic shape, as it is designed as much for culinary pursuits as utility, evolving from the classic all-purpose knife carried by farmers and shepherds. With its long, slender blade, this pocket knife is a true do-it-all knife capable of everything from gathering herbs in the garden and trimming twine to opening mail, breaking down boxes, whittling or slicing sausage and cheese for lunch. The handmade knife features an ultra-tough Swedish 12c27 blade that will hold an edge for ages and sharpen up easily. The juniper wood handle packs a peppery aroma and terrific feel in the hand. The blade remains securely open with a stiff slipjoint spring, so there’s little risk of it closing during use.
Never to be caught without a knife, Matt Card, our creative director of recipe and products, has carried one of these for years—and even used it to prepare more than a few meals while on vacation. And the accompanying soft leather pouch will help keep it scratch free in your pocket or bag.
Goyon-Chazeau Mixed Wood Avantage Steak Knives Set of 6 in Beech Wooden Gift Box
Enjoy beauty and strength with this set of mixed wood avantage steak knives. Unlike the brasserie collection, these knives are forged, with blades made only of X46CR13 stainless steel. Their steel is stronger, with an edge that lasts longer due to a less flexible blade. Plus, the forged steel extends through the handle for balance, making it both comfortable to use and durable. And with no chiseling on the back of each piece, the beauty of the lines and materials simply shines.
Goyon Mixed Wood Brasserie 6-Piece Steak Knives with Beech Wooden Gift Box
Goyon-Chazeau uses tried-and-true X46cr13 stainless steel for the blades of their Brasserie line of table knives, which hold a fine edge and are impervious to rusting, meaning they will last for generations. The gorgeous, smoothly finished wood handles come in six different types: boxwood, olive, juniper, rosewood, kingwood and wenge. We hesitate to call these steak knives as you’ll use them for so much more.
Blithe and Bonny Wine Bottle Dish Soap
Available in two scents, this biodegradable dish soap is pleasant to use as much for its aroma as its stylish wine bottle packaging. The lavender scent contains 100% essential oil, sourced from an organic lavender farm in Oregon, with a touch of fir needle. The grapefruit version is a fresher and stronger scent than its lavender counterpart, with a hint of sweetness from added verbena. Keep the elegant bottle next to your kitchen sink for all your dishwashing needs or gift to a loved one.
Tartuflanghe Grey Salt Guérande with White Truffle
We’re sick of seeing truffle products plagued with bad-quality truffle flavoring—not using the real deal. This salt, however, only uses two ingredients: French Guérande salt and Italian white winter truffle. The result is an aromatic seasoning ideal for finishing all manner of savory dishes. The high quality of both ingredients truly comes through: the earthy, savory, delightfully musty taste of truffles and the delicate brine and minerality of the salt. And it’s incredibly aromatic to boot.
Tartuflanghe Black Truffle Pearls
The petite pearls resemble caviar, but they offer the rich earthiness of black truffle. They’re made from the famous rare black winter truffles of Alba, Italy. The juice is gently extracted from the fresh truffle during a cooking process and then fashioned into little spheres using a molecular gastronomy technique. They’re elegant and surprising in both appearance and taste. Once they burst open on your tongue, you’ll get that immediate flavor of mushroomy, musty, oaky truffle in a silky little package.
Wild Hibiscus Flower Co. Flowers in Syrup
A small-batch product perfect for the holidays, these sustainably farmed edible hibiscus flowers bring berry-like sweetness to everything from drinks to desserts. Each jar contains 11 blooms packed in flavorful syrup that can be incorporated into drinks, dressings and dishes even once the flowers are finished. A bright, lively red, the hibiscus blossoms look almost like candy and taste of red berries and pomegranate.
Griottines (Morello Cherries in Liqueur)
French company Griottines uses a proprietary blend of brandy and kirsch—a clear liqueur distilled from whole cherries—to make these intensely flavored yet balanced cocktail cherries. They have a wonderful warm flavor and almond-like aroma that complements and rounds out the tartness of the fruit; cherries and almonds actually come from the same botanical family, and the cherry pits used to make kirsch impart a complex almond flavor that adds depth to Griottines. Unlike other cocktail cherries that taste only of sugar, these cherries retain a vibrant fruitiness—no doubt in part because the company macerates its cherries within six hours of when they are hand-picked off the branch. And because the cherries are sorted and selected by hand, you can be sure of a high-quality product, with whole, intact fruits that are perfect for garnishing your favorite cocktail or dessert.
Acetaia Leonardi Balsamic Pearls
We like to think of these as balsamic caviar; when you bite into the pearls, all their volatile aromatic compounds are released at once so you can fully savor the depth and complexity of Acetaia Leonardi's authentic balsamic vinegar. It's a sharper, more immediate burst of acidity that highlights vinegar's vibrant intensity.
