Since 1989, the Father and son team of Gil and Dylan Tortolani (along with their Associates) at Gil's Gourmet, have been providing the culinary world with "An Epiphany of Flavor" with their eclectic line of award-winning, hand-stuffed olives and award-winning hors d'oeuvres.  This is perhaps their most popular product and we certainly understand why!  Gil's Gourmet Chardonnay Garlic Stuffed Olives are an olive lover's dream come true.  Incredibly, each oversized olive is individually stuffed by hand with a big chunk of pickled garlic.  The brine is a Gil's Gourmet unique formulation - it is laced with a "liberal splash" of premium quality California Chardonnay.  The resulting product is delicious and we doubt that your customers will be able to eat just one!  Be sure to stock up - once they taste these specialty olives, your clients will make it a regular staple in their pantry of gourmet specialites!

The folks at Mrs. May's claim that they're mostly nuts.  But they are nuts in the "good way" - they care passionately about the nuts that they use in their products, such as bananas, peanuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, white sesame seeds and pumpkin seeds.  They slowly dry roast these nuts, give them a dash of sea salt and are then brushed with sweetness for a "world-class crunch".

The folks at Mrs. May's also care about what they put in their mouths and they care about what goes in your clients' mouths.  That's why they use only premium-grade, wholesome ingredients.  They use no artificial colors or flavors.  And they also believe in "free" - as in trans-fat-free, dairy-free and wheat-free.

They put plenty of natural goodness in their wholesome crunchy snacks.  But they still maintain they're mostly nuts.  (We tend to agree with them and we love the great products that they create!)

Ernest Hemingway is truly an iconic figure, a man who lived large on the world’s stage. Not just his writing, but his lifestyle too has become the stuff of legend. A willing ambassador for the Lost Generation, the globe trotting, prize-winning author was wounded in WWI, cavorted with Hollywood stars, tracked game through the African bush, fished the Gulf Stream, survived two plane crashes, and even once hunted German U-boats in the Caribbean.

When not watching a bullfight in Spain, or exploring the streets of Paris, Hemingway was writing. He changed the modern literary landscape with his short prose and definitive style, earning both the Pulitzer and Nobel prizes. Loved by critics and adored by fans, his works have since become staples of American literature. As an award winning author, avid outdoorsman, and a true citizen of the world, his spirit lives on today as one of the great personalities of the last century.

This Highland Select Tea is a tribute to the man who lives on in many people's hearts today.  This gourmet tea makes a great addition to many gift baskets such as "Tea for Two", "Thanks for Your Help!" or any gift basket for a book lover.

When the founders of Gil's Gourmet, Gil and Dylan Tortolani, set out to create the perfect martini olive, they took their task very, very seriously.  First, they selected only the highest quality California pitted jumbo green olives.  Then they hand stuffed these specialty olives with pimento.  Next, they took a specially marinated lemon peel that they had been experimenting with, twisted it around the olive and then skewered it with a toothpick to hold it in place.  Their efforts were well worth it.  The result is unique in the olive world - no one else is patient enough to create such a work of art!  The whole condiment is edible (with the exception of the toothpick of course!) and it makes the perfect martini.  If your clients are looking for something truly special for their next martini, you can certainly advise them that they need look no further!

Each Ivy Cottage premium scone mix is carefully prepared by hand in small batches and uses the highest quality ingredients to assure that authentic "home-baked" consistency which has won the hearts of customers since 1998.  The  Parmesan Herb Scone Mix is a fabulous savory scone that, in our opinon, is without peer in the market.  It is rich with herbs such as rosemary and sage and blends perfectly with the garlic and aged parmesan and romano cheeses.  Your customers will want to enjoy it with their favorite egg dishes, soups or salads.

In 1989, Gil Tortolani opened Gil's Gourmet, a small, family-owned and operated business selling hot sauces and a few other eclectic appetizers.  He and his son, Dylan, have been providing the culinary world with "An Epiphany of Flavor" with their fabulous line of award-winning, hand-stuffed olives ever since.  This especially popular variety, their "Double Trouble" Double Stuffed Olives are painstakingly created by hand.  Each oversized olive  is individually stuffed with a chunk of pickled garlic and a Seranno Pepper.  We believe that the finished product is well worth the incredible amount of time and effort required to produce it.  It is medium hot with a pronounced garlic aftertaste.  We sincerely doubt that your customers will be able to eat just one!  Be sure to stock up - once they taste these specialty olives, they will want you to have some on hand at all times!

The folks at Mrs. May's claim that they're mostly nuts.  But they are nuts in the "good way" - they care passionately about the nuts (and the other ingredients) that they use in their products, such as blueberries, peanuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, white sesame seeds and pumpkin seeds.  

They slowly dry roast these nuts, give them a dash of sea salt and are then brushed with sweetness for a "world-class crunch".  The folks at Mrs. May's also care about what they put in their mouths and they care about what goes in yours.  That's why they use only premium-grade, wholesome ingredients.  They use no artificial colors or flavors.  And they also believe in "free" - as in trans-fat-free, dairy-free and wheat-free.

In Southern Italy, tomatoes ripen on the vine in the blazing Mediterranean sun. Then, at their optimum freshness, they are hand picked and placed on special "flats" to allow that same scorching sun to slowly dry them of their natural juices.  The result, an authentic sun dried tomato, has an incredibly intense flavor that has become world famous.

We've combined this incomparable taste with a superb blend of complementary herbs and spices to create a unique, Mediterranean-style bread dipper seasoning mix.  All that your customers have to do is to add some oil and vinegar to create a unique bread dipper as fine as any that they would enjoy in an upscale bistro.

We believe that you and your customers will agree...the taste of this bread dipper seasoning is truly exceptional.  We invite you to experience it.
