Every November, there are a few items that hit the shelves and instantly signal the start of the season, things you simply can’t get year-round. This year’s collection of imported festive goods has officially arrived at Culinary Table, and it’s already causing a stir in the deli.
We’ve curated this selection the same way we build our menus: with intention, quality, and that delicious tension between hyperlocal and authentically international. Yes, we grow our own peaches, but panettone needs Italian flour and proper craftsmanship. Yes, we roast our own coffee, but there’s nothing like real German Stoellen when you’re catering for the holidays.
This year’s lineup includes luxuries and staples alike:
• Proper Italian Panettone and Pandoro
• French chestnuts (ready to cook), and paste
• Belgian couverture chocolate
• Traditional stoellen with and without marzipan
• Medjool dates and Pistachio Fillings
• Spices and specialty condiments
• Scented candles and linen sachets
• Nougat, caramel popcorn and shortbread
• Festive homemade preserves
These are the ingredients that transform home cooking and hosting into celebration cooking. They’re perfect for gifting, perfect for your pantry, and perfect for that “I need something impressive but effortless” energy that December always demands.
The shelves are fully stocked for now, but festive items famously vanish before you can blink, especially once the baking crowd discovers the chocolate. If you’re planning holiday menus, gifting baskets, or just upgrading your December snacking game, now is the time to stock up.
