Exquisite Snacks for an Incurable Epicure

Boat Street Pickles Pickled Figs – The tanginess of aged balsamic vinegar and sweetness of the figs complement one another perfectly. These are delicious with goat cheese, particularly Saint Maure.








Bella Cucina Artful Food Eggplant Pesto – This delicately prepared pesto is light, yet bursts with flavor with chunks of eggplant and hints of cumin.









Olivier & Co. Olive oil – Whether it is strong and full-bodied to dip in with freshly baked bread, mild and fragrant for cooking, or a basil-infused ambrosial variety to swirl in salad, Olivier & Co. offers a diverse assortment of smooth olive oils.




Cracklebred – these crispy and airy delights remind me of my childhood, when my mother would pack raspberry jam-filled ‘cracottes’ in my schoolbag. Although these are not filled like the ones I use to snack on, their wispy texture melts in my mouth and is so tasty when coated with my grandmother’s homemade raspberry jam (also good with Sarabeth’s strawberry & raspberry jam, or Nutella)




The Fine Cheese Co. wholemeal crackers are so unique and work with any robust cheese. Undertones of Parmesan in these thin hexagonal crackers make these must-haves at a wine and cheese party. Other delectable flavors are available too, including rosemary, oat, chive, charcoal, and natural.
