Pre-order open

The best of the Mediterranean table is still made by hand, in small batches. Most of it never reaches American shelves. We went looking for the small producers still making it the slow way, and tasted everything before it earned a place. All of it is in the box.

§ 01 What’s inside

The staples a good kitchen runs on.

Late summer, leaning into fall. Everything here comes from a named producer along the Mediterranean. Olive oil pressed from a single grove. Pasta from durum wheat, grown and milled the slow way. Tomatoes picked ripe and passed into a smooth purée. Honey, salt, rice, the small things worth the wait.

Ten things in all, the whole table. Every one of them was tasted before it earned a spot. We think you’ll like what you find.

§ 02 In every box

The Almanac, No. 1.

Numbered, never reissued, yours if you order before the window closes. A booklet you keep on the counter long after the box is empty. A recipe you make by hand, notes from the garden, a handful of things worth talking about at the table, the producers in their own words. You’ll see it when you open the box. That’s the point.

The box gets eaten. The Almanac stays.
