Guelaguetza Designs Plates — Set of 4
Handcrafted exclusively for Milk Street by potters in Puebla, these glazed ceramic plates are painted in the distinctive Talavera style, whose intricate designs evolved from Spanish artisans who arrived in the 16th century. Coming in a set of four, each plate is one of a kind, with slightly different brush strokes and sizes.
J. Catma Hand-Stitched Linen Cocktail Napkins - Set of 4
Custom made for Milk Street, these white Hand-Stitched Linen Cocktail Napkins are made in India by young women who finished a four-year apprenticeship in a historic orphanage. Embroidered with floral motifs and edged with hemstitching—a traditional needlework technique that creates an openwork border. Use them as cocktail napkins or coasters, and when you’re done, simply wash them on a gentle cycle.
Kinto Cast Amber Iced Tea Glass
It's hard to find glassware that is both sturdy and delicate. We like the simple, appealing design of Kinto's iced tea glasses, which are heat-resistant and sturdier than traditional glass. The subtle lip on the rims of the glasses emphasize their sleek tapered shape and also make for easier drinking. Established in 1972 in Shiga, Japan, Kinto incorporates Japanese principles of simplicity and subtle elegance into its tableware designs.
Mexico by Hand Terra Cotta Bowl
These lovely little bowls are handmade by artisans in Capula, Michoacán. We love the traditional touch these give a tabletop when filled with herby garnishes, dipping sauces and small snacks like olives or nuts. Available in blue or green. Purchase includes one 4 ounce bowl.
DISCLAIMER: We only carry the larger size bowl, not the extra-small size depicted in the photos.
Professional Secrets Chef Fork
This durable, stainless steel fork from Professional Secrets stands out among the rest because its food and pasta-friendly prongs grip food properly without slippage or damage. This sturdy fork consists of a single, solid, continuous piece, making it less likely to break, unlike lesser quality varieties. We love the great design offered here along with the solid weight and the feel of it in our hands.
RT1home Tool Wrap Apron
This 2-in-1 design functions as both a tool wrap and an apron, able to protect your clothes while gardening and keep your tools secure. When planting, simply tie the apron around your waist and place any necessary tools in the pockets. And when you’re done, undo the straps, roll it up and tie it closed to keep your tools neatly tucked away. Plus, the apron is made from Sunbrella fabric, a sturdy but pliable canvas used on boats and for awnings. The fabric is resistant to UV rays, water, mold and mildew, so it can take on all the elements outdoors.

Marna Silicone Piggy Steamer Lid
Designed for steaming food, the Marna Piggy Steamer from Japan is a silicone lid that forms a tight seal over pots and containers, vents excess steam through its snout and is easy to lift by its ear-shaped handles. Use it for perfect stovetop steaming, splatter-free microwave cooking or even refrigerator storage in place of plastic wrap. It's more compact and flexible than metal pot lids and fits any vessel less than 8.5 inches in diameter, with the silicone locking in moisture for effective steaming; smartly designed holes in the pig snout act as vents to avoid built-up pressure. When you're done using it, you can throw the lid in a kitchen drawer for storage without worrying about finding a spot on the shelf.
triangle Tools Reibe 2-way Grater with Catcher
We found it: the grater that won’t make a mess and works twice as fast. A 2-in-1 “catcher” clips under the grate to capture and redirect errant shavings; to protect the grating surface, simply clip the catcher on top of the grater to guard blades (and fingers) when the grater is stored. The Reibe has an ultrasharp grate with medium holes designed to deliver a coarse shaving, perfect for grating vegetables for salads. And blades are arranged to cut foods in two directions, speeding prep time. These stainless steel graters come with nonslip nubs and a notch at the base to ensure a secure hold on cutting boards and bowls.
MegaChef Kecap Manis
After years of searching for the right one, we finally found a version of this Indonesian staple condiment we are proud to sell. Kecap manis, or “sweet dark soy sauce,” is an Indonesian secret for depth, umami and complexity. Megachef’s version—the best one we’ve tried—is virtually impossible to find in the United States. Of the handful of brands sold here, most are packed with thickeners, additives and flavorings; apart from a nominal amount of starch for consistency, Megachef adds no preservatives, artificial coloring or MSG, and its flavor is significantly bolder and richer than the other versions we’ve tried. Soy sauce from non-GMO soybeans and high-quality palm sugar are simmered until the sauce becomes thick and glossy, with a deep dark color and consistency similar to hoisin. The resulting sauce isn’t as salty as soy or as sweet as hoisin, the two most comparable condiments—but it has a funky malty, umami soy flavor, almost akin to molasses. Use it for Indonesian or Asian cooking or anywhere you might like a funky, barbecue sauce-like glaze.
MegaChef Smooth Sweet Chili Sauce
Made from chilies handpicked in Thailand—and incredibly hard to find in the U.S.—Megachef’s Smooth Sweet Chili Sauce achieves the perfect balance of sweet, savory and spicy. Unlike other chili sauces loaded with stabilizers that make them sticky, Megachef’s version is blended smooth with an ideal viscosity for multiple cooking applications. It easily blends into marinades, sauces for noodles, stir-fries, and dipping sauces. We were wowed by the unique flavor—sweet on the front followed by a light tang, hit of garlic and decent heat that doesn’t linger too long. And this sauce is made with no preservatives, colors or artificial sweeteners, so you can feel good about using it at just about every meal.
Marchesi di San Giuliano Orange Slices in Syrup
We can't get enough of the warm, vibrant flavor of these orange slices in syrup, which our food editor, Matt Card, liken to deconstructed marmalade. To make them, organic blood oranges are hand-picked from the producer's own orchards, sliced finely with the rind still on, then briefly blanched to remove some of their bitterness and carefully layered in jars. The orange slices are covered with a reduction of orange juice, sugar and a touch of brandy—no pectin or artificial sweeteners—which contributes a vanilla-like roundness as well as sugary depth and richness. In addition to their rich flavor, we love the amazing texture of these orange slices, with a wonderful contrast between the silky pulp and surprisingly tender rind, which can be cut through with a fork.
Dreamfarm Flisk 3-in-1 Whisk
We know it’s easy to be skeptical of the infamous kitchen multitool, but believe us when we say the Flisk is not a gimmick. Our kitchen team was blown away by the quality. This nifty tool didn’t win a Red Dot design award for nothing. It seamlessly shifts between three different shapes with a simple click of the knob located at the end of the handle. The first setting is a classic balloon whisk, perfect for beating egg whites into stiff peaks or making a quick batch of homemade whipped cream, and another half-opened setting (it’s narrowly X shaped when looked at from above) is ideal for stirring sauces, as it can also sneak into the edges of pans to make sure everything’s evenly mixed. Lastly, it folds completely flat, which does wonders for deglazing a pan and also for easy, tangle-free storage. We found the durable plastic of the ergonomic handle to stand up to a good amount of wear and tear and so can the Flisk’s 10 wires. They’re made from high-vibration spring steel to give you maximum aeration efficiency with (this means fluffy frostings in a flash) and are hygienically sealed within the handle.
Maalouf Authentic Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
Stone-milled exclusively from a single grove of small, slender Souri olives grown in North Lebanon, Maalouf's early-harvest oil possesses a potent green-yellow color and a buttery, rich flavor with hints of green apple and artichoke. It has a subtle peppery kick and addictively long, nutty finish. This is truly an all-purpose, extra-virgin olive oil without the overpowering bitterness that mars many other brands. We have a very limited inventory of this small-batch oil; once we're sold out, we can't get more until next year's olive harvest.
