There’s a whole bunch of chili crisps that came on the market a few years ago. I was doing a bunch of taste tests, and this one was by far my favorite. The spice mixture that they use in the oil is just really well balanced. There’s some heat to it, there’s some warm spices in there, and there’s a little bit of sweetness, some savoriness, and some saltiness. They also really load it with these big fat chips of crispy garlic. They say chili crisp, and this actually is really crispy. The garlic itself is crunchy the way potato chips are. I think it has the best balance of flavor, heat, and texture. My daughter eats a bowl of it on the side with dinner every night.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kari Kari","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52896612385044,"sku":"AFF-FOOD-KARIKARI-CRISP","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/1628\/1620\/files\/karikari-chili-crisp-1.jpg?v=1784842128"},{"product_id":"primis-olive-oil","title":"Primis Olive Oil","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eThis olive oil is actually produced by an old childhood friend of mine. Primis is his last name — he’s Greek, and he’s really into olive oil, and he went into olive-oil importing a couple years ago. He sources really great, fresh, early-harvest olive oils. A lot of the extra-virgin olive oils on the market will be blends. So there might be some early-harvest olives in there, but there’s also some later-harvest stuff. Generally, the early-harvest olive oils have a more robust flavor: more of that pepperiness and spiciness, more of the astringency, a little more of the bitterness, all those flavors that people look for in really good extra-virgin olive oils. Primis is very devoted to really sticking with the best olives and bringing out those flavors consistently. The product changes from year to year because it’s a different harvest of olives every year, in the same way that a wine will change from year to year, even from the same vineyard and the same grapes and the same producer. For me, that’s just a mark of the quality. They’re getting you the real flavor of the olives. It’s been consistently among the best olive oils that I’ve had.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Primis Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52897206042900,"sku":"AFF-FOOD-PRIMIS-EVOO","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/1628\/1620\/files\/primis-olive-oil-1.jpg?v=1784842401"},{"product_id":"badop","title":"BADOP!","description":"\u003ch6\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(200, 68, 89);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eJust a little salt + MSG.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBe part of the very start. We’re releasing a \u003cb\u003elimited run of Founder’s Tins,\u003c\/b\u003e twice the size than our standard tin, with future discounts and early access to the new flavors we’re launching in the new year. Once they sell out, the countdown to our full launch begins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince it was first isolated from sea kelp in 1909, MSG has been the not-so-secret ingredient that makes food richer, more savory, and deeper in flavor. In many Asian home kitchens, it’s as standard as salt and pepper. My grandmother kept a shaker of it on the table, right next to both.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut the question I get asked most about MSG is: “How do I use it?”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat’s why I created \u003cb\u003eBADOP!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe idea is simple: Swap your pinch of salt for a pinch of BADOP! in all of your favorite recipes—sweet or savory—and your food will just taste better. It feels like magic, but it’s science.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ingredients are simple: pure salt and pure MSG, nothing more. But getting them right took a year of development and experimentation. I wanted the right ratio for everyday cooking, with grain sizes that keep the salt and MSG evenly mixed and make the blend easy to pinch between your fingertips, just like my favorite kosher salt. We put it in a flip-top tin that’s easy to open whenever you need a pinch. (It’s also pretty cute.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConsider this your secret access to the not-so-secret ingredient for your holiday cooking. My grandmother had her shaker.
