Shupatto Foldable Tote Large
Our favorite tote now in a larger size. Cleverly designed in Japan, meet the Shupatto: the “one-pull” foldable bag. A perfect replacement for single-plastic bags, the slim-profiled Shupatto folds down neatly, so it’s easy to take on the go to carry groceries, shopping and baked goods. To open, the folded accordion pleats expand into a roomy bag; to quickly close, pull both ends of the bag until taut pleats form again, then roll back into a coil for storage. The Shupatto is made from lightweight (just 69 grams) durable material, too; when tested by the makers, the pleats still folded perfectly after 100 cycles in a washing machine. And the quick-drying material can handle wet or messy items, too. The Ougi print features a traditional Japanese folding hand fan. The Sakura print features a classic cherry blossom motif.
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.
Shu’s Pottery Nest Pot and Trivet
At Shu’s Pottery in Taipei, fourth-generation potters consider form and function the key to the success of all their ceramics. The Nest Pot, produced in small batches with time-honored pottery methods, is the classic example of this ideal. The deep, roomy, lidded vessel moves easily from oven or gas stove to table with the aid of the unique nest-like stainless steel trivet. In our kitchen, we were impressed with its beauty, craftsmanship and remarkable ability to retain heat, thanks to a unique combination of potter’s clay and gravel sand. We find the pot incredibly versatile: Use it to sauté, simmer, stew, steam, cook rice or even bake bread and roast small poultry (we fit a whole chicken in during testing). Thanks to its unique material, the pot heats very evenly. The set includes the trivet, pot and a secure-fitting lid, all in a giftable box. Hand-washing the pot is surprisingly easy, thanks to the thick matte black glaze that resists sticking.
Guelaguetza Designs Talavera Serving Bowl
Handcrafted exclusively for Milk Street by potters in Puebla, this glazed ceramic serving bowl is painted in the distinctive Talavera style, whose intricate designs evolved from Spanish artisans who arrived in the 16th century. Each serving bowl is unique, with slightly different brush strokes and sizes. Perfect for serving pastas or salads while entertaining or as centerpiece on your table when not in use.
Guelaguetza Designs Large Oval Platter
Handcrafted exclusively for Milk Street by potters in Puebla, this glazed ceramic platter is painted in the distinctive Talavera style, whose intricate designs evolved from Spanish artisans who arrived in the 16th century. Each platter is unique, with slightly different brush strokes and sizes. Perfect for serving your main course while entertaining or as centerpiece on your table when not in use.
La Chamba 2-Quart Square Casserole
Made of black clay, a typical medium for traditional Colombian pottery, this 2-quart casserole works beautifully for roasting vegetables, poultry or meat or for baked pastas like lasagna. La Chamba’s casserole dishes are still made the traditional way, by families in central Colombia who practice their craft on the banks of the Magdalena River. This striking black baker transitions easily from kitchen to table; the unglazed clay has a light, sophisticated sheen and the casserole will retain heat long after coming off of the heat, thanks to the naturally occurring mica in the clay. As each piece is handmade by Colombian artisans, slight imperfections in form or finish are to be expected. It is appropriate for the oven or microwave, but despite being incredibly sturdy and long-lasting, black clay pieces should be heated slowly, as they can’t withstand drastic changes in temperature.
Like Family California Meyer Lemon Oil
Most citrus-infused olive oils taste fake, because they are—manufacturers pack olive oil with aromatic chemicals and call it a day. Not so with Like Family’s California Meyer Lemon Olive Oil. The family-owned company starts with young, fruit-forward arbequina olives harvested in California and presses them with whole Meyer lemons from their own orchard. This “co-milling” creates a beautifully lemony finish: The bright, sweet notes of Meyer lemon, so much more floral than the standard lemon, play perfectly off of earthy, fruity arbequina olives. And the finished product has the telltale velvety mouthful of a great Californian extra virgin olive oil.
Our current stock is from the limited December 2023 harvest. We drizzle this on roasted veggies and grilled fish, as well as Parmesan-rich or seafood-based pastas. Emulsify it into vinaigrettes, add to hummus or marinades for feta and other cheeses, finish salads or even add it to your baking.
Aux Co. Ltd. Otona No Teppan Iron Plate with Lid and Trivet—Large
Translating loosely to “grilling on an iron plate,” teppanyaki is a beloved Japanese style of cuisine that is hard to replicate at home. Relying on simple, fresh ingredients—like vegetables, meat, seafood and noodles—with minimal seasonings, cooking is dependent on a large, flat grill that heats to high temperatures. Thankfully, the expert artisans from Japan’s Tsubame-Sanjo, an area renowned for its superior metal craftsmanship, created an extra-thick iron pan to recreate teppanyaki cooking in your own kitchen. Naturally nonstick and able to heat up to very high temperatures, this beautiful plate with easy-to-grip handles comes equipped with a matching lid and a natural wooden trivet. For the most traditional cooking, begin your food on the stove before covering it and transferring the plate to the wooden serving trivet to finish cooking. Metal insets keep the wood from scorching, so you can bring food from the stove to the table with complete ease. The large model is big enough to serve three to four people and comes with two handles for easy carrying. The smaller model will serve one to two people and comes with a single handle.
Dave's Cold Brewed Coffee Syrup
Dave’s Coffee Syrup is for so much more than coffee milk, Rhode Island’s sweet, creamy official state beverage. Dave’s syrup starts with Brazilian coffee beans—roasted specifically for use in the syrup—before the nutty, smoky ground beans are cold-brewed for 18 hours. This coffee is boiled with pure cane sugar and agave nectar for a complex, dimensional sweetness, until coffee syrup is born. Our testers noticed that this syrup tastes the way coffee smells—sweet and toasty—with none of the bitter or tannic notes of a brewed cup. While coffee milk is a classic and refreshing way to enjoy the taste of this syrup, we also love it in cocktails, batters, as a binder for granola, as a glaze for meat or roasted vegetables, brushed on to pastries and dessert and so much more. The full-bodied, chocolatey notes of coffee shine through in every application.
Suncraft Usuba Knife
Traditionally used in professional kitchens, this small but mighty Usuba knife from Suncraft is a great addition to any knife block. Fashioned with a tall, thin blade that’s slightly curved for rocking, it’s made in Japan from layered VG-10 Damascus steel. Resembling a “mini cleaver,” it’s great for chopping and dicing mirepoix, smashing garlic and ginger, thinly slicing vegetables or thick steaks and chiffonading bundles of herbs. The durable black Pakkawood handle is also comfortable in the hand—not too short like other smaller knives.
Like Family California Lime Oil
Most citrus-infused olive oils taste fake, because they are—manufacturers pack olive oil with aromatic chemicals and call it a day. Not so with Like Family’s California Lime Olive Oil. The family-owned company starts with young, fruit-forward arbequina olives harvested in California and presses them with whole limes, a rare and powerful combination. This “co-milling” creates a beautiful finish: The zesty, tart notes of California lime are even more concentrated and complex against the backdrop of earthy, fruity arbequina olives. And the finished product has the telltale velvety mouthful of a great Californian extra virgin olive oil.
Our current stock is from the limited December 2023 harvest. We drizzle this zippy, electric green oil into herb sauces, on soup, grilled fish and crudo, salads, grains, roasted veggies, avocado toast, corn on the cob, shrimp, Thai curry and more.
