Made using mustard seeds that are cut instead of crushed for a finer texture and filled by hand directly from the pump, Maille's mustards are among the best in the world. This particular version is infused with black truffles and Chablis white wine from Burgundy, giving it a rich, earthy flavor that pairs well with a variety of foods including chicken, salmon, and risotto. It arrives in a Burgundy-made stoneware jar with cork lid.
Beautifully marbled, true Japanese Wagyu beef is hard enough to find as it is. Olive Wagyu Beef is even rarer. Raised on a small number of farms in and around Shodoshima Island in Kagawa, these cows are fed a diet of caramelized olive pulp leftover from olive oil production, resulting in high levels of oleic acid and an unbelievable softness that melts in your mouth. Crowd Cow is now bringing highly limited amounts of this prized meat stateside. For your chance at the next shipment, sign up and make a purchase before it goes on sale this summer.
Two trained chefs and butchers started Porter Road — an online butcher shop that offers premium cuts of beef, pork, lamb, and chicken.

A good cross-section of their meats is available through the starter pack which includes 2 dry-aged steaks, 2 pork chops, 2 pounds of dry aged ground beef, 1 pound of cherry-wood smoked bacon, 1 pound of handcrafted chorizo sausage, and 1 pound of country breakfast sausage. It's like having a trusted local butcher at your service online, with each order over $100 shipped free in the lower 48 states.

You don't have to be in a coastal city to enjoy fresh oysters, and now, you don't even have to leave your home. These highly seasonal Hama Hama Oysters grow the old-fashioned way on the gravel where the Hama Hama River flows out of the Olympic Mountains into the Hood Canal. Sweeter during spring months and brinier in the fall and winter, they're available in 3 or 5 dozen bags.
One of the more versatile seasonings in your fridge is the latest item to enter a Kentucky Bourbon Barrel. Worcestershire Sauce: the tangy, savory addition to many steaks and Bloody Mary's through the years, is now available from Bourbon Barrel Brands. The all-natural, anchovy-free, vegetarian blend includes sorghum, apple cider vinegar, tamarind, and their microbrewed soy sauce. It's then aged in the aforementioned barrels, taking on some added flavor before bottling.

To build a watch that can stand up to the demands of the world's top athletes, Nixon enlisted the help of Mitchell Hall, retired US Navy SEAL, and other special ops soldiers.

It can be difficult to find anything that isn't loaded with high-fructose corn syrup these days. So it's nice to see an option like Tree Hive Maple Syrup.

Use it on your waffles or pancakes or add it as a natural sweetener in the kitchen for baking or cooking.
Freeze-dried ice cream is nothing new — ask anyone who visited the National Air & Space Museum as a kid. Good freeze-dried ice cream, on the other hand, has been hard to find. Cosmik Freeze-Dried Ice Cream offers the same unmeltable, imminently packable benefits as the traditional stuff, but with far better results. It starts life in Brooklyn as 100% organic, ultra-premium ice cream then gets an added dash of sea salt added before spending a day in the freeze dryer. The result is a treat that never needs refrigerated, can be enjoyed anywhere, and comes in four delicious flavors.
Coffee and maple syrup are a classic flavor combination, and Trees Knees Coffee Maple Syrup mixes them together in a whole new way.

The next time you decide to whip up some burgers for dinner, instead of flipping a few meat pucks on your grill and covering them with a bun from the grocery, treat yourself to something big.

BurgaBox ships the burgers — actually an entire meal kit — directly to your front door. One of their feasts includes enough meat for a couple of big burgers along with two pounds of mac and cheese and sides like fries, baked beans, and coleslaw. BurgaBox kits ship for free nationwide, with ingredients that are made from scratch and sent in insulated coolers with simple instructions.
As is the case with many things, bacon produced in small quantities offers a level of quality you won't find with mass-produced brands. Bill-E's Small Batch Bacon is made from carefully-sourced pigs, using only the best ingredients and techniques. The pork comes from pigs raised on Midwestern farms and is hand-cured for eight days in pink salt and brown sugar made from real molasses. Bill E turns the bellies every other day to further improve the flavor, before cold-smoking them in hickory for a sweet, savory, and tender result. Available by the pound, sliced or unsliced.
There's spring water, mineral water, tap water, and now there's Blk Water.

Free of sugar, caffeine, calories, and carbs and comes in a pack of 24, 8-ounce bottles.

Normally, you worry about eating the whole thing when you open a bag of chips. That won't be a problem here. The Paqui Carolina Reaper Tortilla Chip is made using the Carolina Reaper Pepper, also known as the hottest chili pepper on Earth. Bred by "Smokin" Ed Currie — who also helped create the chip's seasoning — the reaper has a heat rating of 1.57 million Scovilles, or over 78,000 times hotter than the hottest jalapeño you'll find. Also joining the fray are ghost peppers and chipotle seasoning, making the chip so incredibly spicy that it's sold one-at-a-time in its own coffin-shaped box.

We all know dry aging creates incredibly flavorful, tender steaks. It also requires a commitment of time, space, and money that most of us don't have. Sansaire Steak Aging Sauce gives you the same flavor in as little time as it takes to cook a piece of meat. Just add a tablespoon for every pound of meat you have in your bag, cook your meat sous vide, and sear it when it's done. This mix of fish and soy sauces, molasses, and MSG for its glutamic acid gives a close approximation of the flavors you get via dry aging, but without the wait, and also provides added natural sugars to give your meat a golden crust when seared.
We're sure there's an eating challenge out there somewhere with the same name. But the Impossible Burger isn't so named because it's difficult to finish. It's named "Impossible" because you won't believe it can actually look, cook, and taste so much like beef without having any meat in it. Instead, it's made from a carefully-blended, exhaustively-tested mix of plants that gives you all the satisfaction of a traditional burger while using 95% less land, 74% less water, and putting off 87% less greenhouse gas emissions. Impossible, indeed. Currently available exclusively at Momofuku Nishi, with more spots coming in the future.
Like Hershey's compared to Scharffen Berger, Defonce Cannabis Chocolate is far more than just a weed-packed candy bar. Formed by two long-term chocolate makers, the company focuses on quality instead of quantity, crafting delicate flavors with precise levels of both cacao and THC. As you might expect, the packaging is also attractive, only hinting at the easily-portioned, pyramidal bar inside.
Rarely do you see the words "dehydrated" and "gourmet" used together. Yet Good To Go Gourmet Dehydrated Meals are no joke. Designed for campers who love the freedom of a tent but crave real food, these bagged meals require nothing more than some boiling water and time to go from dry to delicious. They're made from real ingredients like fresh veggies and ground whole spices, portioned to keep your energy levels up, and come in a variety of dishes, including pad thai, mushroom risotto, and three bean chili.
Regular Soylent will keep you alive and healthy, but if you're used to enjoying a normal breakfast with a cup of coffee, switching solely to the liquid meal replacement can be a shock. Soylent Coffiest should help. Its plant-based formula provides 400 calories, or 20% of your daily nutritional requirements, via soy protein, algal oil for energy and essential fatty acids, and real, lightly-roasted coffee that not only provides the same caffeine as a 16 oz. cup of joe but also helps give the normally bland drink a bit of flavor. Available in pre-mixed bottles so you can slurp one down on the way to the gym, office, or lab.
Give your breakfast a hint of smoke to go with the sweetness by pouring on some Runamok Bourbon Barrel-Aged Maple Syrup.

Arrives in a 250ml bottle.
