Dressing & Marinade
Concentrates. Blend your own perfection.
 

Balsamic Dressing Concentrate
Premium organic balsamic vinegar blended with a select mix of organic spices - ready for your next salad or marinade. Mix with olive oil for a traditional dressing, or mix with your choice of fruit juice for a flavorful fat-free alternative. Also fantastic mixed with canola oil and used for a vegetable or meat marinade.

One bottle will make 3 - 5 bottles of regular dressing. Make your marinades more concentrated, while your dressings can be lighter. Also great "straight up" dipping with bread.

Major Mustard
Major Mustard lives up to its name. With bold but balanced flavors, it is a favorite for a chicken or salmon marinade when blended with canola oil and maybe some orange or lime juice. Also fantastic on a hearty salad with spinach and fresh tomatoes, or arugula and roasted beets. Creates winning meals however you use it.

Matsutake King
Made with wild Matsu (Pine) take (Mushrooms) blended with organic cacao nibs (raw chocolate beans).

Wild matsutake mushrooms are hard to harvest and therefore the price is very high. Matsutake grow under pine trees and are usually concealed under the fallen leaves. It forms a symbiotic relationship with the roots of a limited number of tree species. The unique flavor of matsutake is owed to the rare conditions under which it grows, under the base of pine trees between 20 to 60 years old and it never grows in the same place twice. Their magnificently spicy aroma is similar to cinnamon.

Raw crushed cacao beans are the more natural form of chocolate, and ours come from a Fair Trade Peruvian co-op. Blended with the matsutake in an organic apple cider base, they add a wonderful richness to the mushrooms spicy overtones.

An amazing dressing when blended with olive oil or apple or cranberry juices. As a marinade, it is wonderful for white fish when mixed with canola oil, and great with chicken.

Candy Cap Moka

Candy cap mushrooms, scientifically known as Lactarius rubidus, are among the most deliciously fragrant mushrooms you could ever hope to find. When fresh they don't look or smell like much, but when dried they have a pungent odor of butterscotch or maple sugar. The mushroom caps are burnt orange to reddish brown and range from 50 cent to silver dollar coin size. They only grow in the western United States, and are not able to be cultivated. They are definitely a delicacy, fetching up to $200 per pound.

In this recipe, candy caps are mixed with organic & Fair Trade espresso and cocoa powder in an organic apple cider base with a mix of organic herbs.
Excellent for a meat marinade when mixed 1 Tbs concentrate with ¼ cup olive or canola oil. Also use as a dipping sauce for bread, or blend with tomato sauce and served over pasta with Parmigiano Reggiano.
