The Spirit of Africa promotion has started in our Oil & Vinegar shops and I don’t know where to begin, because there are so many new and exciting products! Let me start by saying that all of the products have such an intense, fresh flavor that you can practically taste the richness of the soil they are grown in.

First on the list is a new product line of hot sauces and chutneys that carry the Spirit of Africa label. The peppers are locally grown, hand-picked and the sauces are hand-made with no additives, no preservatives or artificial coloring. The passion that goes into the making of the Spirit of Africa line is apparent in the flavor. We have four different heat intensities in the hot sauces, so everyone can enjoy them, not just the daring at heart!

This time of year I love to use hot sauces to add a lot of flavor with just a few drops in dips, sauces or directly on meats. The sweet jalapeno is great on the grill, just sprinkle a few drops on chicken or fish and it is a gourmet meal with no fuss. The chutneys in this line have already become a big hit. Chutneys are so versatile, it is nice to have them handy for impromptu dinners, hors d’oeuvres or just to add some zing to a traditional meal. They can be enjoyed with your favorite cheeses, melted as a glaze on meats, or as an accompaniment to curry dishes. Visit our website at http://bellevuesquare.oilandvinegarusa.com/new-products.html to view all the products and get more great recipe ideas.

The next product I must mention is a gift set of Rozendal Vinegars, including the Hibiscus Vinegar that just won The Best New Product of 2010 at the New York Fancy Food Show. The flavors of all four vinegars are incredible and instead of raving about them here just watch the video, hear the producer himself talk about his products and be inspired!
