Frequently asked questions

About spices & condiments

Why use whole spices?

They keep far longer than ground spices. Grinding on demand preserves the volatile aromatics, which fade within weeks once powdered.

Cider vinegar or wine vinegar?

Cider vinegar is gentler and fruitier, ideal for mild dressings. Wine vinegar is sharper and holds up better in reduced sauces. A good vinegar is barrel-aged.

How long does an oil stay good?

An unopened olive oil keeps for 18 months; once opened, use within six. Store away from light and heat.
