Ready to fill your holiday season with some Tunisian sun?

By Fern Weiss, Grocery Purchasing Manager

I am! Imagine your holiday party tables filled with hand-rolled couscous and sauces, harissa, olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, artichokes, jams, and preserved lemons from Tunisia.

I was recently lucky enough to meet Abdelmajid Mahjoub, owner of "Les Moulins Mahjoub," who along with Scott Pikovsky of Great Ciao Foods, offers a line of imported Tunisian products. I was struck by Majid's passion for his products and his understanding of earth, air, fire (sun), and water as partners in his business. But what really sold me on his products was how he spoke of the olive pit as the "heart" of the olive. In his country, that's how they refer to it; you will never see an olive without a pit served by Majid. His line is created with great respect for and gratitude to the earth, the sun, and the sky — his partners in the creation of beautiful food.

On the afternoon of December 10 we are introducing this line with a sale at 30% off regular price. Treat yourself or someone you love to a gift of sun and heart from the Mediterranean.

We are demoing some of these products on Monday, December 14. Corinne will be making a couscous salad and Scott from Great Ciao will be on hand as well.

Enjoy!
