The answer to “what do I get someone who has expensive taste and actually knows the difference?” — when your recipient is the person who corrects your pronunciation of “bruschetta” and has opinions about olive varieties.

This isn’t for casual snackers. This is for the foodie who lights up discussing terroir, the friend who travels to Italy for the food, the client whose kitchen has more Le Creuset than cabinet space, the parent who taught you that cheese comes in forms beyond “block cheddar.” French truffles, Italian crostini, artisan tapenade, smoked Gouda, garlic herb bruschette — curated for palates that notice quality.

Perfect for the sophisticated client relationship, the food snob friend you actually admire, the wine enthusiast who needs appropriate pairings, the internationally-traveled family member, the gourmet cook who has everything, or anyone whose idea of a compliment is “this tastes authentic.”

This is for: Discerning taste appreciation, foodie friend birthdays, sophisticated client gifts, international flavor enthusiasts, culinary professionals, or when “gourmet” needs to actually mean something beyond the label.
