Gesho Kitel -Ethiopian Aroma Hops Leaves

I received my order quite promptly.

The price was reasonable, especially considering the "exotic" nature of the product.

I used the leaves to create my own home-made tej. I'm not sure how "authentically Ethiopian" the final result was, but nevertheless I was enormously pleased.

I have no complaints whatsoever about the product, the service, or the price.

Thank you, Brundo Ethiopian Spices.

Aspen Mulling Cider Spices, Cinnamon Orange, 5.65-Ounce Cartons (Pack of 9)

Several years back, someone gave me a box of Aspen mulling spices and they were truly lovely. I thought when I ordered these I was ordering the same thing, but there must be several formulas, and I picked the wrong one. I bought a number of packages intending to give them as gifts at Christmas time, but they still sit waiting to be wrapped because I'm not sure they're appealing enough for gifts. There's a strong orange presence in these spices, and I do think they would make a lovely addition to certain breads or muffins, though I haven't tried it yet. And they are pretty good sprinkled on grapefruit. Of course I'm looking for lots of uses for these because the gift wannabes are going to have to get consumed somehow.

I think this is the best flavor for cider. The first time I tried it was at a Christmas celebration at our Town Square and had to get some for myself. I add a carton to a gallon of apple juice, pour a cup, and heat it up in the microwave. Sometimes I will add whipped cream and sprinkle cinnamon on top. Yum Yum Yum! Nice to warm up on a cold day.

This is a delicious spice for a variety of juices such as apple cranberry, apple cider, pineapple orange, etc. My family loves it hot or cold. I brought this mixed into hot apple cranberry juice to two gatherings and it was a hit! Everyone wanted to know what it was. I highly recommend this delicious product!

P'tit Basque Whole Wheel (1.25 pound)

This lovely cheese is delicious sliced thin or generous. The texture, flavor, and finish all accompany each other well. My favorite way to enjoy this cheese is with a slice of ripe pear. Any of the yellow varieties is best, but the pear must be ripe. If you can find a wheel without the wax coating the rind is edible and provides an excellent change in texture. When I shop for cheese P'tit Basque is always on my list. For those who are learning to explore their taste in fine cheese P'tit Basque is a great choice.

BEST CHEESE EVER, Will be buying pounds and pounds of it in the future. First tried it at a restaurant and then immediately came home to buy some.

Fini Italian Balsamic Vinegar From Modena, 8.45-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 3)

We have used this product for many years, and although we occasionally have been forced to try other brands, we always come back to this one.

It is simply the best Balsamic Vinegar in the world!

I was shopping for a balsamic vinegar that was "better" than the basic types you can find in a typical, non-gourmet supermarket. I found this one in an Italian shop in Little Italy, NYC and was assured that it was one of their better brands however, for the "best" you had to spend a lot more. Not ready to spend bigger bucks, I brought this one home and tried it with fresh mozzarella, Jersey tomatoes, fresh basil and a drizzle of good olive oil. Mmmmm. The difference in flavor, complexity and finish was instantly noticeable. There is an instant hint of sweetness followed by the tang of of acetic acid. If you have only had the $5 / 32 oz bottle of balsamic that's sold in the supermarkets, step up to something significantly better. You will be pleasantly surprised.

However, to fully appreciate good balsamic vinegar, you need to taste some of the aged (and more expensive) offerings. My local Italian food store gave me a taste of their "house" balsamic a direct import. It was sweeter with a much milder acid finish. Plus the consistency was more like a syrup than a traditional wine vinegar. Sorry, I don't have the name but it costs about fifty percent more than this one and I think, for a treat, it's worth it. For every day use, this one fits the bill. The owner also said that the balsamics costing upwards of several hundreds of dollars are for "special occasions". Again, for every day, vinegars like Fini are perfect.

I have always known that FINI has the better vinegars, be they wine vinegars or otherwise. I like sour things over sweets in general. Recently, another connaisseur of vinegar gave me a bottle of this Balsamic vinegar... It is outstanding! there is a blend of subtle flavors and tastes to it! It is NOT like any other Balsamic vinegars found at a lower prices in this country...beyond description! I still use a few drops of Champagne vinegar or FINI red wine vinegar (when not available, any wine or apple-cider vinegar) to give a "zing" to my salad dressing.

I just purchased a 3 bottle pack (free S&H) from Amazon (cheaper than at my local stores). I'll see how long it lasts. With that knowlege, next time, I'll buy a 6-bottle pack for a lower price.

This is the no.1 Balsamic vinegar for me, so far. I haven't tasted those $40/oz Balsamic vinegars... so tasteful, and aged for so long that only one drop is needed on your after-dinner cheese. As I don't eat cheese, I may splurge and get a tiny bottle one day on one of my frequent trips to Italy.
