More New Products!
Six New Gluten-Free Choices
Join Our Pasta Family
A year ago we were still in anticipation mode for our first gluten-free options to our pasta lineup. Fast forward and here we are introducing you to six more - which makes our overall offering a stunning sweet sixteen! Does anyone else in America give you so many gluten-free choices? We don't think so! Here is a short rundown on the 'super new six'. You can find a complete description of each on Nan's Site.
Artichoke Rosemary Linguini - pureed fresh artichoke hearts combined with fragrant minced rosemary - yum!
~~~
Chipotle Fettuccine - medium spiced with rich smokey flavors - a classic from 'south-of-the-border'.
~~~
Garlic Chive Fettuccine - perfectly matched fresh savory ingredients make for a mouth-watering meal.
~~~
~~~
Plain Pappardelle - we think this is the best noodle cut ever - thin, wide and silky - holds light sauces perfectly.

Grapeseed Oil Is In The House!
If you are not familiar with grapeseed oil - it is oil pressed from the seeds of wine grapes. It's an important oil because it has a high 'smoke point' and many health benefits. A high smoke point allows the cook to safely use the oil at higher temperatures than olive oil, such as stir-frying or saut�ing. Grapeseed Oil actually increases 'good' cholesterol in your body while decreasing LDL levels.
We infuse ours with freshly roasted garlic, creating a smooth, delicious and not overwhelming flavor for the garlic lover. It has a clean, light taste and is a delicious addition to the culinary kitchen.

Gift a Gift Tote!
We recently revamped and extended our line of 'gift totes'. These are durable, reusable, eco-friendly tote bags made from exquisite handmade papers. Best of all they are gorgeous and will really make whatever gourmet gift item you choose to put inside shine. Several have windows to flaunt your thoughtfulness, and there are several sizes.
You can take a peek at all of them here!
