Hello and welcome to our store.

Here's where you'll find the best
tasting sauces and tapenade you've ever tried.

ArrabiataAwesome Arrabiata

You might be wondering why we we think our Arrabiata Sauce is so great. Hey, we don't call it awesome for nothing!

Well, it's simple. It has less water. If you had a jar in your hand right now you'd see how thick it is. Of course we could make it thick by adding starches and modifiers, but we don't. 'Cause then you'd be gettin' a thick sauce without much flavor.

Besides that, we'd have to spell out all those polysyllabic words. Instead, we reduce our sauce slowly to get rid of the water. Doing it like that concentrates the flavors of the terrific ingredients that we use and makes the sauce rich and sweet.

Take a look at the ingredients label on other tomato based pasta sauces (arrabiata, puttanesca, marinara, etc.). More than likely you'll see either sugar (or some form of sugar) or carrots as an ingredient. Why do ya suppose they put that stuff in their sauces? Because those things add sweetness, and the sweetness takes the tannic edge off of the acid in the tomatoes. That way they don't have to get rid of the water, which means they make more money 'cause water is cheap.

Speaking of ingredients, the truth is that our Awesome Arrabiata is really a variation of the traditional Italian version. In addition to the typical ingredients we are using kalamata olives, anchovies, and porcini mushrooms. They add a rich, savory, earthy dimension that makes it unlike any sauce you've ever tried.

Our Awesome Arrabiata comes in a big 26 oz. Jar— just the right amount of sauce for a pound to a pound and a half of penne noodles.

Here's all the stuff we put in our arrabiata: chopped tomatoes, fresh yellow onions, kalamata olives, tomato paste, extra virgin olive oil, anchovy fillets, fresh garlic, fresh Italian parsley, porcini mushrooms, dried oregano, kosher salt, dried chilies arbol, and black pepper.

So buy a jar already! And serve it the way we tell ya on our recipes page to some of your friends. For a little while let 'em think you made it (but hey, ya gotta come clean sometime). They'll think you're a genius.

Cost: $8.00                    Size: 26 oz.

Buoy Base

Bouillabaisse is that wonderful shellfish and fish stew from the South of France. Cioppino, on the other hand, is an Italian immigrant version from San Francisco.

If you were going to do it right, you’d spend 30 to 40 minutes gently cooking fish bones, shellfish shells, veggies, herbs, wine, and spices in water. That’s the “base” part. Then you’d strain it, throw away the bones & stuff, bring the stock to a boil, and add fresh fish & shellfish. That would be the “other” part.

Here’s a thought: Why don’t you let us do all that for you?

Yep, we’ve spent the time to make a rich, concentrated “base” part. Now all you have to do is buy the fish, shrimp, clams, mussels, etc. for the “other” part.

Okay, now pay attention!

Order a jar of our Buoy Base, and when it arrives, do this:

1) Buy a variety of your favorite fish & shellfish (shrimp, mussels, clams, squid, swordfish, etc.), and a loaf of French or Italian bread.

2) Pour our Buoy Base into a large pan, add a jar of water, & bring it to a boil.

3) Now add your fish & shellfish and simmer it all for 10 to 15 minutes.

4) Finally, divide the stew into bowls, and serve with slices of that crusty bread for dunking.

You won’t believe what your taste buds will tell you: “More, give us more!”

Cost: $8.00                    Size: 26 oz.

Crème de la Crimini

When Joe told some of the guys that he was going to make a pasta sauce with sliced crimini mushrooms, they said, What? Are you nuts? Itll be way too expensive to make.

He figured, Yeah. But itll be good.

Well, he figured right.

By the way, do you know why Criminis are pricey? Cause theyre tasty, thats why. And, tasty is our goal.

So Joe figured if you make a sauce with  them, it would also be really tasty.

Guess what? Hes right again.

This stuff is, as they say in the valley, to die for. Its rich, earthy, slightly spicy, and, in short, so good that itll make your friends & family think youre the genius that you really are for serving it.

Okay, now pay attention! Take a jar home and serve it like this:

1) Buy a pound of pasta (we like to use fettuccine), a bunch of flat leaf
parsley, a bottle of red wine (a Cotes du Rhone or a Chianti), and  a loaf of French or Italian bread.

2) Cook the noodles, heat the sauce, and chop up the parsley.

3) Toss the pasta & sauce together and sprinkle the parsley on top.

4) Eat, drink, enjoy!

Do it like this and youll wonder why didnt somebody think of this before? Well, now somebody did.

Cost: $8.00                    Size: 26 oz.

Well, now that we've convinced ya, we have only one thing to say, "Good!"

Marvelous Marinara

Alright, lets be clear about something. Were calling this stuff a mother sauce, not a mother of a sauce. Although its that too.

No, its a mother sauce in the classic French tradition of classifying sauces.

First of all, our Marinara is terrific all by itself as a basic tomato sauce on any kinda pasta you like to use.

Second of all, its wonderful as the base sauce that you start with. Now you can add almost anything and turn it into a sauce that will make your friends & family shudder with delight.

Add shellfish like shrimp, clams, crab, mussels, lobster, and/or scallops. Badda Bing! Youve got an unbelievable seafood pasta dish.

Or lightly sauté sliced calamari (squid) in a little olive  oil, add a jar of this Marinara and youve created a great Pasta with Calamari.

For you sausage lovers, try this: Buy some Italian sausage with fennel & sauté it in olive oil. When the sausage is nicely browned, remove it from the pan and pour off the oil. Next dump a jar of our marinara into the pan & stir & scrape up all of that wonderful caramelized stuff on the bottom of the  pan. Now put the sausage back, bring it to a simmer, toss with your favorite pasta & garnish with chopped parsley.

Bingo! A sensational Sausage Pasta!

Cost: $8.00                    Size: 26 oz.

Perfect Puttanesca

Our manufacturing guys keep telling us that the steam rising up from the cooking pot is really nickels and dimes evaporating into the air.

Tough! If ya leave all that water in the sauce, it tastes thin and weak.  We’d rather spend the nickels and make a thick, all natural pasta sauce that will knock you over with rich, savory flavors.

It’s not for nothin’ that we picked the name “Perfect Puttanesca”. It’s a classic, spicy Puttanesca Sauce with chopped plum tomatoes, fresh onions, fresh garlic, anchovies, Kalamata Olives, and tangy capers.

Legend has it that, in the 1950’s, Puttanesca Sauce got its name because it was a favorite dish not just of the “puttana” the ladies of the evening in Naples. It was also preferred by their customers, who were often served Spaghetti alla Puttanesca
as they waited for their favorite paramour. It was so good that the guys didn’t mind the wait.

We figure that liking a sauce because it tastes that good is the best reason of all to pick it, and it’s why we decided to make it for our customers

One of our ad guys who is Italian offered to do all of our ads for nothing if we’d give him as much of this stuff as he wants.

So buy a jar and serve it the way we tell ya on the recipe page. If ya do, you'll have what we call an "ah-haa" experience — "ah-haa, so that's what those guys mean!". Your friends or family will enjoy one of the best pasta dishes they've ever tasted.

Cost: $8.00                    Size: 26 oz.

Sensational Seafood Sauce

Let’s face it. Shellfish of all kinds— you know, stuff like shrimp, clams, mussels, scallops, calamari, etc.— are both delicious and versatile. They are terrific

  • As stand-up, “grazing food” at regular parties

  • As an appetizer or first course at dinner parties.

  • When they’re served with pasta.

But you also know that those critters taste better if you’ve got a sensational sauce to enjoy with ‘em.

Well, you’ve just found the sauce that’s as delicious and versatile as the critters themselves. Our Sensational Seafood Sauce is rich and savory, with a just right spiciness that matches beautifully with fish and shellfish. Here’s three ways we like to use it:

  • Use it as the best dipping sauce you’ve ever tasted for grilled or sautéed seafood. Serve it hot. Serve it cold. It’s terrific both ways. And guess what?
    Just like everything else we make, this stuff is so easy to use you should be arrested for laziness. Just dump it in a sexy bowl, and Badda Bing, you’re done!

  • Use it to make an incredible seafood pasta course. Just sauté your favorite shellfish in a little extra virgin olive oil.
    Then, just before they’re done, dump a jar of our sauce in the pan and stir and mix it gently with the shellfish.
    Now, serve it over your favorite pasta. It's unbelievably good!

  • Use it as a cooking sauce for your favorite sautéed fish — sea bass, swordfish, red snapper, halibut, corvina, etc.

    Sauté your fish filet in a little olive oil.

    When the filet is done, remove it from the skillet and use our seafood sauce to deglaze the pan, stirring it around to dissolve and incorporate all of those delicious brown bits that have caramelized on the pan bottom.

    Now spoon a healthy portion of sauce on each dinner plate and place the fish filet on top. Garnish with your favorite chopped, fresh herbs (parsley, oregano, basil, thyme, etc.) and run, don’t walk, to the table to set the plates in front of your friends and family.

If that doesn’t make you rush over to our order page, well, about all we can say is, ya must hate fish and shellfish. Please accept our condolences.

Serious Sesame Sauce

The Chinese invented noodles a couple thousand years before anybody in da neighborhood could even say Tagliatelle. (We still can't.) Then they came up with a sauce made out of sesame seeds to put on the noodles— which beat just about every other kinda sauce in the world. That is until now.

It's too bad the world had to wait a couple thousand more years until Richard Kimmel (he's one of da guys) created our Serious Sesame Sauce—the best you'll find between Nanking and Nantucket. It's rich, spicy, tangy, smooth, nutty, and all kinds of other wonderful things. Plus, there's a whole bunch of things you can do with it.

So order a jar and use it one of the ways we tell ya on our recipes page. Or wait till you get it from us and read the little tag that's hanging by the lid. You'll be glad Richard came up with this stuff in your time.

Our Sesame Sauce comes in a 16 oz. Jar— enough sauce for 2 lbs. of pasta, enough sauce to feed 8 people one of the best tasting pasta meals they've ever had.

That's because it's full of the best man made and fresh ingredients we could find: sesame paste, soy sauce, canola oil, sesame oil, fresh garlic, red wine vinegar, chilies arbol, and kosher salt.

Cost: $8.00                    Size:  16 oz.

Terrific Tapenade- Umami, Umami, (oou-mom-eee)

Food techies have agreed that besides the four tastes we've always known about— sweet, sour, salty, and bitter— there is a fifth. It's called "umami". It's the savory, rich taste that we experience with meats and with aged and fermented foods like cheese and wine.

Recently NBC's Today Show had a feature on about it. There's even a restaurant in New York that's calling itself Umami. When food has it we say umm, delicious, savory, satisfying....!

Well welcome to umami heaven. It's why our tapenade is terrific. Lots of umami.

Take a look at what's in it: kalamata olives, anchovies, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, fresh Italian flat leaf parsley, chilies, coarse kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. We blend all these wonderful things together to create a tapenade that has the texture and mouth feel of caviar.

So buy a jar and make yourself a slice of heaven by brushing some olive oil on slices of Italian or French bread. Then toast the bread under the broiler, spread on some tapenade and take a bite. You'll thank the techies for giving you a word for what you just experienced.

The other great thing about this stuff is how versatile it is. Take a trip over to our recipes page and see some of the other ways to use it.

Here's the ingredients: kalamata olives, anchovies, fresh lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, fresh garlic, fresh Italian parsley, dried oregano, kosher salt, dried chilies arbol, and black pepper.

Our Terrific Tapenade comes in a 16 oz. jar. You'll find the only problem with that is you'll want the jar to be bigger.

Cost: $8.00                    Size: 16 oz.
