from 506 reviewsWonderful marinade with a neutral oil prior to smoking chicken!
I recently prepared a smoker dinner for 25 people and used the MSR on a side of Salmon smoked over Alder wood as one entree, and received rave reviews. I used it as well for some roasted fingerling potatoes and root vegetables at the same meal with the same great results.
My brother was celebrating a "milestone" birthday. He is an amateur home chef and a big foodie, so we knew our gift had to be related. We live out west and initially considered purchasing a gift card from one of the big-box national specialty food chains. Our sister-in-law recommended Skordo since my brother, and she had visited your store many times traveling through Maine. We made the purchase, and the big bonus for us was a buy one get one free herb package, which we used immediately. The herbs arrived immediately, and now we understand why Skodo was recommended. Your herbs are so fresh, with a naturally intense flavor. They made everything taste better. My brother is over the moon with his gift card, and we love supporting smaller enterprise operations. Well done, and thank you. I am hooked and will be a repeat customer!
I knew my friends loved your spice shop, but I was unable to physically make it to a store, so this was a great option. I was able to print the gift certificate out and add it to their gift.
The Cinnamon was great, but the follow up is way too aggressive. I asked them to email me my receipt. Big mistake. That same day I started getting a daily marketing e-mail. I opted out. What I didn't know was that I only opted out of marketing e-mails. Today I got a followup customer satisfaction survey asking me to write a review. Here it is. Please take me off of all of your e-mail lists. Thank you.
Absolutely love these fish trio plates. I am hoping to acquire more in the future and build a small collection.
I am a huge fan of bug eyed company ceramics. I will buy any and all her work! It’s so classic Maine, beautiful craftsmanship and design. So happy to have this gorgeous piece in my collection!
This is our favorite cinnamon - I think we're on our third bag!
I used to use ground allspice from the grocery store. But I started grinding my own from SKORDO and wow. I use them in a marinade for steak which I make with lime juice, coconut aminos, garlic and sesame oil. The flavor is so much fresher, more complex and delicious using whole berries. After I marinate the steaks, I put them on the grill and boil the marinade for five minutes into a syrup. Then add a few pats of cold butter off the flame to make a succulent sauce. Delicious!
Another delicious blend of seasonings from this lovely company. One of our favorite Portland Maine shops.
I thought I'd add this to my stuffed peppers the other day, and wow, was I glad I did. With each bite, one minute you'd notice how earthy and rich it had made the dish, then the next would show that heat can mean flavor - does that make sense? All I know is that I loved how beautifully this spice elevated the beef and rice filling to a whole other level of dam - that's good.
This recipe was unique and delicious. The texture of the ingredients really made the enchiladas stand out. The spice flavors are spectacular. I was a skeptical about the pineapple - but it works.
We found this season while in Maine. It has become my husband favorite for his salmon. It’s absolutely a perfect blend.
It's a lot of fun making my own condiments, and very satisfying when the work is done.
