LINEAR TASTE NOTES

dark chocolate, caramel, heavy body, dried fruit

We use this rich, sweet coffee to make our in-house cold brew

We received many requests over the past few years for the “best coffee for making cold brew.” While we used Tektōn for years and felt it did a fantastic job, it’s hard to ignore the requests for something obviously marketed for cold brewing. Plus, we gained the ability to really profile Linear for cold brew

What is the best soy sauce ---

This is so much better than what you get in the grocery stores!!!

Fantastic artisanal Soy Sauce 

Kishibori Shoyu Soy Sauce...$17.99 / 12.2oz
"The best stuff we’ve found is Kishibori Shoyu. "Commodity" soy sauce tastes like salt and not much else – but this soy sauce tastes like something you wouldn’t mind eating all on its own. When you pour it onto a spoon you can see that it has a much higher viscosity than the commercial stuff, along with a beautiful amber hue. The scent is floral with a nice bit of earthy porcini funk. Kishibori Shoyu is rich and brothy on the palate, with a saltiness that supports rather than overwhelms its many layers of flavor. It has a meatiness (read: umami) that’s reminiscent of the crust on a well-seared steak.

The Takesan Company still makes their shoyu artisanally, using only the highest quality whole soybeans, toasted wheat, and artisanal sea salt from the surrounding Seto Inland Sea. The production of Kishibori Shoyu is similar to that of the legendary Balsamic vinegar, in that the Takesan Company uses American white oak barrels (some of which from when Yoshiji first started the company!) to age their shoyu. After the three ingredients go through the “mashing” phase, they are allowed to slowly ferment in the oak barrels for a year. The slow fermentation process creates organic acids that heighten the flavor of the soy sauce, and eliminate the need for the artificial preservatives and alcohols found in the commercial stuff. After a year of aging in the oak barrels, Kishibori shoyu is filtered, pasteurized, and bottled.

Because this soy sauce is so special, it should be treated a little bit differently. We’d recommend using it to finish a dish, or as a great dipping sauce with fresh chives and a bit of extra virgin sesame oil. It would take the super simple dinner of rice with a fried egg on top to the next level. While we recognize that the refrigerators of cooks are often overstocked with the condiments of the world – this is another one you shouldn’t have to live without." - importer

Interesting reading about the difference in "real" and "chemical" produced Soy Sauce
Finding Healthy Soy Sauce: The Good, Bad, and Very Ugly
By Kaayla T. Daniel PhD, The Naughty Nutritionist
Soy sauce, also commonly known as shoyu, is the best known flavor enhancer in Asian cooking. Made the old-fashioned way — through a careful fermentation process that can take as long as 18 months — it’s a healthy and nourishing product.

The best quality, truly healthy soy sauce is not only fermented in a traditional manner but also unpasteurized to retain beneficial enzymes and nutritional cofactors.

The most common soy sauces sold in supermarkets and served at the majority of restaurants are made in two days or less. Here’s how they do it -- click to read the full article.

Ramon Pena Tuna

Quality canned fish is very healthy!"With high protein content and rich omega-3 fatty acids, it’s no secret that a fish-heavy diet welcomes a range of health benefits. The canned varieties, however, are nutritional powerhouses. For starters, oilier varieties of fish, such as sardines, anchovies, and mackerel, are among the highest sources of omega-3s that you’ll find at a grocery store." -

Tempus Fugit Cocktail Cherries

Tempus Fugit Cocktail Cherries...$13.99 / 7.94oz jar

"Assumption Abbey is a secluded Trappist monastery nestled
in the foothills of the Missouri Ozarks. It was established in 1950 by a group of monks from New Melleray Abbey in Dubuque, IA. Through the years, the brothers of Assumption Abbey have continued to live by the centuries old Trappist tradition of contemplation and study, private prayer and common worship, and living by the work of their own hands. When Assumption Abbey was first developing its bakery, the monks sought the help of world class chef Jean-Pierre Augé, who at one time served in the royal employ of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Mr. Augé's assistance, and his generosity in providing the recipe and ideas for production, gave the monks the impetus to go forward with the Assumption Abbey Fruitcakes.Assumption Abbey Fruitcakes are the dark, rich, traditional style of fruitcake. They are baked slowly and aged under the careful supervision of the monks. Everything, from marinating the fruit, to mixing, to baking, to packaging, to aging, to mailing is done right at the monastery by the monks. Assumption Abbey is not a commercial enterprise. It is a way of life, and that way of life, combined with the careful work of the bakers, insures a dedication to

Chef Jean-Pierre Augé was a regular customer at our Rock Hill location for years.  He was instrumental in getting the Fruitcakes to us.
