Extra-Virgin Olive Oil

Extra-virgin olive oil is the highest quality olive oil available, made from the first pressing of olives. It has a rich, fruity flavor and is celebrated for its health benefits, including high levels of antioxidants and healthy monounsaturated fats.

Galangal Root

Galangal root is a rhizome closely related to ginger, originating from Indonesia but widely used in Southeast Asian cuisines, particularly Thai and Indonesian cooking. It offers a sharp, citrusy flavor with hints of pine and pepper, distinct from the sweeter taste of ginger. The texture is fibrous and somewhat tough, requiring peeling and slicing before use. In cooking, galangal is often used fresh or ground, and it infuses dishes with its unique aroma and taste, though it is typically removed before serving. Galangal is a key component in curry pastes and soups, where it adds depth and complexity without overwhelming other flavors.
