Seventy-seven brand guides to the pantry — olive oils, condiments and hot sauces, salt, nut butters, honey and artisan staples.
Olive oil is a category of family estates and a few large brands, and these guides look at each producer and where it grows.
Estates
Family estates include Castillo de Canena in Jaén, Núñez de Prado in Baena, Marina Colonna in Molise (known for milling whole citrus with the olives), Ravidà and Titone in Sicily, Capezzana in Carmignano and Chiavalon in Istria. Séka Hills is the olive oil of the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, and Oliveira da Serra, a Sovena brand, leads the Portuguese market.
The pantry
The guides also cover Rustichella d’Abruzzo’s bronze-die pasta, Rancho Gordo’s heirloom beans, Anson Mills’ heirloom Southern grains, Soom tahini and La Boîte’s spice blends.
How to use these guides
Each guide covers who owns the name today, where the products are made — by the maker’s own account and, where it differs, by other sources — and the brand’s visual identity. A company’s description of itself is attributed to the company, and where a business has closed we say so plainly. The table at the end gathers the essentials.
