CONTENTS

A PRIORI was founded by a cheese monger/retailbuyer who became obsessed with craft chocolate and was frustrated by the fact that no distributors in America focused on this important niche.

Now offering much more than just chocolate, at A Priori , we value specialty foods that exhibit true craftsmanship. With a penchant for Old World style, we seek products made by hand with outlier levels of skill .

Quite s imply, we know quality. We vet potential new products through rigorous blind tasting, and if the provenance of the ingredients are not excellent we s imply won’t carry them.

Chili Beak

Åkesson’s

Salt Lake City, Utah

Guerville, France

As the name would suggest, Chili Beak’s oil-based hot sauce offers a deep, complex chili flavor. Unlike vinegar-based hot sauces, the heat here comes on slow while still packing a spicy punch. Proceed with caution. Item is highly addictive and we can’t imagine eating eggs without it.

With Åkesson, only one word comes to mind: wild. Like the fine cacao that made them a global force in the chocolate world, each pepper in their lineup expresses a shock of Madagascan terroir, especially Voatsiperifery, a wild pepper so rare even Wikipedia hadn’t heard of it until 2011.

Malpighi Modena, ItalyBalsamic Vinegar is probably the most commonly mimicked and adulterated food product in existence. Common versions are offensive to purists and hence the decline of its cool factor. Cool is cyclical, quality is forever. Balsamico Tradizionale DOP is a timeless diamond of human agriculture and craftsmanship. Acetaia Malpighi will not compromise and is keeping the flame alive.

Ramón Peña Galicia, SpainSurrounded by the cool, clean waters of the Atlantic and the Old World spirit of Spain’s Iberian Peninsula, there is no better place than Galicia for Ramón Peña to have mastered his technique.He insists on being the first to the morning fish auctions, purchasing only the absolute best of each day’s catch. After cooking in fresh seawater, each offering is hand-packed into tins one tasty morsel at a time. Only small producers like Peña, who use time-tested artisan techniques, are able to capture the intrinsic flavors and preserve the incomparable texture of pristine seafood.There are so many ways to enjoy tinned seafood, but we like it best right out of the can with freshly baked bread and a glass of un-oaked white wine.

Scaldaferro Venice, ItalyIn life there are precious few morsels that transport the consciousness to a different time and place. This is one of those morsels. When an artisan makes nougat based on the waning or the waxing of the moon and explains it in such a way that makes sense, you should go out of your way to eat that nougat. This is that nougat.

Viola Foligno, ItalyNo other olive oil producer is more awarded or prestigious than Viola. In the Flos Olei, the most expansive international publication and rating system for olive oil, Viola has consistently received top honors. Just weeks ago, Il Sincero received 99 out of 100 points. No higher score has ever been attained.

Marco Viola is a god of agriculture. Not only for olives either. The man grows beans among his olive groves that sell for over $40 per pound. We are honored and humbled to be his importer for over 13 years.
