Cacio E Pepe with Tellicherry Peppercorns
Translated to "cheese and pepper pasta" in Italian, this authentic and impressive pasta dish has become a go-to main course for every palate, from kids to sophisticated foodies. It's luscious, satisfying, and incredibly easy, made mostly with ingredients you likely already have. The pepper is the star of this dish, we suggest using Tellicherry Black Peppercorns, one of the best peppercorn varieties in the world. It has a more complex flavor with a bit less of an initial kick than standard black peppercorns. Serve with a mixed green salad and you have dinner on the table!

Our new mushroom blends allow for gourmet mushroom meals any time of year. For this risotto we used the Woodland blend of morels, boletes, oyster mushrooms, chanterelles and lobster mushrooms. Paired with our salt-free Poultry Seasoning, we were able to balance the sodium content from the cheese and enjoy cozy fall flavors.
Fennel Saffron Lobster Roll
Wouldn't be a summer in Maine without a lobster roll (every week?!). Almost anywhere you look you can find one, either chilled with mayo or warmed with butter. When we relaunched our Fennel Saffron Sea Salt, it quickly become a favorite for seafood. We switched to grinding the saffron into a fine powder to create a pink salt with cracked fennel seeds + some whole saffron threads tossed through it. Though red/pink itself, saffron turns everything around it a deep golden hue, which was really amplified when melted into butter and tossed through the chunks of lobster.
