Bunches & Bunches

Crafted By: Pai + March Roth-McCormick

Portland, CA

As with all of Bunches & Bunches goods and treats, love is the most precious ingredient. Every batch is crafted to have the perfect combination of flavor, spice and heat - made with hand roasted dried chilaca chiles. Inspired by the vast and bright flavors of real Mexican cuisine, the sauce has a blend of chiles, tomatoes, onions, garlic, pumpkin seeds, almonds, raisins, chocolate and spices simmered for hours before being  finished with lime and cilantro. 

Our band of culinary adventurers can't get enough of this stuff! We're slathering our eggs in the morning, making enchiladas for lunch and topping grilled pork loin with this spread for dinner. It's the type of condiment that will inspire your cooking and make you excited to get in the kitchen - something we're all about!

Temecula Olive OIl

Crafted By: Thom + Nancy Curry

Temecula, CA

If there's one thing to know about Temecula Olive Oil Company, it's this: they believe that the best California olive oil products can only come from the best ingredients. And the most important ingredient of all is passion. With a commitment to using only 100% California olive fruit and never any chemicals or heat treatments, this olive oil is next level good!

Chef Ruiz has selected the Citrus Reserve Late Harvest varietal due to the infusion of Moro blood oranges which gives a floral sweet taste to this olive oil. It's the perfect finishing touch to seafood dishes; fall salads with bitter greens, fruits, and nuts; and even in lieu of traditional olive oil for sweets like cakes or warm chocolate budino.

Bubba Q

Los Angeles, CA

On the sweet, succulent side of extraordinary, Bubba Q's  has been dubbed the Spice of Life. This rich, smooth, tomato-based barbecue sauce has the traditional combination of sweet with a touch of heat which delivers smoothness with a surprising SMACK! 

Hold on to memories of summer with this versatile sauce. We're enjoying adding a dash of Bubba Q's to the season's first braised short ribs and stews for a comforting dish. Our secret recipe, though? Make a simple glaze and baste roasted carrots or butternut squash for a sweet and tangy dish everyone will love.

Pacific Pickle Works

These spicy pickled green beans, a winner of the 2015 Good Food Awards, have a peppery personality! With a brine that includes notes of jalapeno, onion, garlic, distilled vinegar and spices, these pickles have crunch, a kick, and they're the perfect addition to your pantry.

Our kitchen team has been loving these spicy spears in a variety of preparations. They're the perfect complement to a bloody mary and a great addition to a charcuterie board thanks to their snappy texture. Chop them and add them to a creamy slaw; top a sloppy joe; or drizzle the brine on grilled fish for a bright autumn meal.
