Dijon Mustard (Maille) 13.4oz (380g) Label may read HOT

The Maille mustard available in the USA is produced in Canada and not the same recipe as the original French type. I recently visited the Maille Boutique at place de la Madeleine in Paris to find out why their French products are now not avilable in the USA. I was told that several years ago the US Government imposed a 200 percent import tax on any mustard produced in France. I assume some lobby of US mustard producers induced Congress to impose this duty.

So the Maille name was formed as a Canadian company, not associated with Maille of France, so that the mustard can be imported into the USA from Canada without this import duty since it was now being produced in Canada without the original Maille famous recipes. The taste of the Canadian produced Maille is not as good as the Maille mustards from France. So thank you to Congress for your interference in commerce from the great mustards from France. I did bring some various Maille mustards back with me from France but packed up in my checked luggage as customs will not allow you to bring them in carry on luggage.

The best mustard, but beware of the one from Canada. It's not as good. Try to get the one that says Product of France, but it's hard to find. This one says it, but shipping is way to expensive for mustard.

I love this mustard. It makes a fantastic vinagarette wisked with some balsamic vinegar and olive oil, or you can mix it it with an equal part of honey for a delicious glaze for grilled chicken or fish. This is FAR superior to Grey Poupon. I highly recomend this mustard, it's delicious!

The French version is the "real thing". I just bought Maille Dijon from Fairway in Woodland PK NJ--it a'int the same thing. I also tried a friend's Maille Dijon and it is inferior. Another friend brought me a Maille from Paris last Spring and there is NO COMPARISON!!!!

It's amazing how many foods are complimented by this rich, tangy, complex mustard. I'd say the Maille you get in France stings a little bit more, but the product made in Canada is excellent quality. I can't understand the fascination people have with invalidating it because it's made in Canada. If you don't like it from Canada, don't eat it, and don't forget it's never too late to grow up.

Love the Newman's Organics K-cups in extra bold! We love all the Newmans that we purchased but we love that bold taste knowing we are getting organic is an added bonus. I can live without a few extra chemicals.

Great coffee, Brews a nice strong but not bitter coffee. I hate it when you have to have 10 more words on a product review.

Vino Italiano 4 Week Wine Kit, Verdicchio, 15.5-Pound Box

I made this wine and it had been in the bottle about 2 1/2 months. I bought a 16$ bottle of Verdicchio at a local store and took it to a party. We did a blind taste test with a group very familiar with Italian wines and my wine won hands down. In fact the owner of Bar Italia in St. Louis was very impressed.

A couple of notes on the wine making. I did add water to 6 gals but when I racked the wine after primary fermentation I racked into a 5 gal carboy and did not add water. I have another kit of this variety and this time I will add some yeast nutrient and ferment at a lower temp. Last time my primary fermentation was finished in 4 days.

I will affirm what everyone else is sayingmake 5 gallons instead of the recommended 6 gallons. I've made 7 of these Vino Italiano kits and they universally come out better by making 5 gallons.

Remember that you will have the same amount of sugar, but less volume in the beginning. This means the finished product will have a higher alcohol content. I like making these kits as well as higher quality kits because I then have a diversity of wines not only in varietal, but in alcohol content as well. Gives you just a bit more diversity, which people appreciate. Best of luck to all you home brewers out there!

I've been thinking about doing this for some time now, so here goes.

I have bought many of the vino italiano kits and this is a general review of all with some tips that may help others.

First if you haven't signed up for Amazon Prime do it I save over 100 dollars shipping above the 79$ fee per year.

Now lets start with white wines since Verdicchio is a white. Follow the instructions and make sure all equipment is clean and sterile. I use Star-San sanitizer it works well and fast but I do rinse with clean boiled water after sanitizing to eliminate any after taste from the sanitizer. If you want to add sugar or honey to the primary fermentation phase mix it with water and boil it first. I know some don't but sooner or later it will give them a wine vinegar instead of wine. Always take a beginning secondary and ending hydrometer reading. I use Super-Kleer KC Finings to clear before bottling it is faster then the stuff that comes with the kit. Amazon also sells american oak chips. I put about a half cup in my primary fermentation phase. Now when you are ready to bottle taste your wine, if it is too tart for you add a sweetener Wine Conditioner by RJ Spagnols will do and Amazon sells it prime eligible. If you want a higher alcohol content you can fortify white wine with vodka or gin or any other white alcohol, white lightening would do if you know a moon shiner.

Red wines all the above tips apply. I really liked the Barolo by Vino Italiano that I made with 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of oak chips added to primary fermentation. I think the next time I will play with it and make an Italian Port by adding a sweetener and some brandy to fortify it after it is finished. It should work out because it has a great taste to start with.

Oh, BTW I alway make the full 6 gallons and boost my ABV by adding either sugar or honey in the primary stage. I know this is a long review and I hope Amazon lets it go through because it might help someone.

FungusAmongUs Your Kitchen, Truffle Salt, 1-Pound

I can't say enough about this salt! It is delightfully scented and delicious. The salt has alot of truffle pieces in it and the taste is pure truffle.

I also want to commend FungusAmongus for their excelletn customer service. While I ordered this through amazon, I contacted them directly about the ingredients. I wanted to make sure that the word "flavoring" did not indicate MSG, since we deliberately avoid foods with MSG. I spoke with a very helpful representative who promised to find out. She called back to say she had tried but that due to time zone, she could not get an answer from Italy yet. She called again the next day to let me know that the flavoring is NOT MSG it is truffle.

This salt goes well on steaks, potatoes, eggs, vegetables. On a nice rare steak, it is out of this world.

So we are enjoying this and sharing it with friends who did not yet know about truffle salt, and I think we have some new converts :)

\Bon Apetit.

OH my! I am in love with how strong the truffle flavor came through in this salt. My husband (who does not like it as well) made me store it in the garage in a zip bag! I have had a wonderful time using it as a finishing salt and will purchase it again when my budget allows.

very strong flavor. I use it often but my wife prefers a milder taste. as truffle salt goes I consider this an excellent value.

This product looked promising because of the reasonable price and favorable reviews on the smaller container. Although I did notice some reviews saying the salt has no flavor, I purchased this product hoping that those reviews were wrong, the displeased customers had received a bad batch, or that the product had improved since then. Well, I received my 1 lb. container of FungusAmongUs truffle salt a few days ago and, at first, I was disappointed to find that the reviews saying that the salt has no flavor were absolutely correct!! When I LIGHTLY sprinkled the salt on something with a bland flavor like plain eggs or pasta, all I tasted was SALT. However, with time, I found that you need to use much more salt than you would normally use to season something to taste the truffle flavor. This is somewhat ok, since the flavor of sea salt which is in this product is much more delicate than table salt. However, there is still the risk that the item you're salting can sometimes become too salty during the process of adding enough salt to taste the truffle flavor..

Boursin Garlic Herbs Cheese - Creamy, 5oz.

This delicious cheese spread has a clean, more pure taste than most cheese spreads.

It costs more but if you really love cheese and don't love chemical additives, it is worth the extra couple dollars.

It's wonderful at parties, gatherings and just for a little instant snack by yourself.

The freshness, quality and flavor is wonderful and to me far superior than other cheese spreads.

Marukan Rice Vinegar 24 Oz.

Whether you're experimenting with Asian cuisine or simply want to branch out from plain white vinegar, this rice vinegar is fantastic.

Marukan brand is always high-quality, and this is no exception. This rice vinegar is full-bodied and has fantastic flavor. It's perfect to use in salad dressings because it is low in calories and fat-free. With some decent quality olive oil, it makes a delicious vinaigrette.

My only hesitation about this product is that it is often available for a more competitive price at my local grocery store. It may be worth checking out your local store or an Asian market to get a better price.

Overall, this rice vinegar is a fantastic product that goes well with nearly everything. I highly recommend it.

Edam - 2 lb (2 pound)

This cheese is an affordable option for entertaining since it is modestly priced in comparison to other imported European cheeses. It also slices up nicely and will look (and taste) good on party cheese platters. The cheese is mild in taste and quite inoffensive. When we were growing up in Asia, we had a cheese similar to this but with a more pronounced flavor. We would grate this cheese over pasta dishes. It was good to rediscover this cheese from Holland and relive childhood memories. The company (not Amazon) who handled the transaction sent the cheese out immediately and it arrived in excellent condition. I would order from the company again.

Peach Bellini by Wine-A-Rita

This product is the perfect answer for those wanting to create a homemade drink as good as, if not better than, a bartender's version with fresh peaches. Many commercial mixes have either a synthetic taste and/or are too sweet--not true with this exceptional product!

I thoroughly enjoyed the peach Bellini. It was a hit at my party and very easy to prepare. I will definitely be ordering more.
