We've been listening to your requests and, just in time for the holiday baking season, our shelves are brimming with those hard-to-find ingredients. We love hearing what you’re looking for, and thanks to you we’re stocked with some extra-special and slightly unusual essentials to make your holiday bakes shine. Here's a closer look at a few stars you’ll find in our lineup:
Valrhona Dulcey Chocolate: This luxurious blond chocolate has a rich, creamy texture and a unique caramelized flavour with notes of shortbread and a hint of salt. It’s a dream for cookies, truffles, and any recipe where you want to add a sophisticated twist.
Sabaton French Candied Orange and Lemon Peel: Made in the French tradition, these perfectly balanced, moist, sweet and tangy peels add bursts of citrus flavour to holiday breads, cookies and fruitcakes.
Stem Ginger: This tender young ginger preserved in syrup is super moist and much less fibrous than candied ginger and makes a perfect addition to baked goods. Use it in your holiday cakes for that extra zing, and save the syrup to brush overtop or add to a wintery cocktail.
Mahleb: An aromatic gem from the pits of Mediterranean cherries, mahleb brings a touch of warmth and a rich, floral, almond-like flavour to breads and pastries. Try it in holiday cookies for a unique and alluring flavour.
Natural Maple Extract: Perfect for adding that rich, cozy taste of maple to anything from frostings to fillings. It’s ideal for when you want maple flavour without thinning your recipe with syrup (we also carry Bitarome's hard to find Anise and Pure Peppermint)
Sicilian Lemon Oil: A punchy, pure lemon oil that captures the sunshine of Sicilian groves. Add a few drops to cakes, glazes, or whipped creams for a vibrant citrus lift without any added acidity (we also carry a Blood Orange Oil from the same company)
Other specialty ingredients we carry include chestnut flour, tonka beans, freeze-dried fruit powders, leaf gelatine and Italian leavening powder. These ingredients bring a story and a bit of tradition from their places of origin, connecting you to kitchens around the world.
