Mountain Rose Herbs has long been my resource for dark amber bottles which we use for our homemade vanilla.  Recently, they sent us a nice package of their new line of Epicurian products to try out.

Wow – can you say fancy??!  We’re looking forward to experimenting with some unique salads with this package of goodies.  If you like the idea of branching out and trying more “gourmet” type dishes, you will love these Epicurian products.

Since 1987, Mountain Rose Herbs has been known for its uncompromising commitment to organic agriculture, sustainable business practices, and a steadfast focus on the pure aesthetics and freshness of botanical products. Their wide range of certified organic product offerings includes bulk herbs and spices, aromatherapy and essential oils, tea and tea supplies, and natural health and body care. Every aspect of product creation is carried out in accordance with strict quality control and organic handling procedures by employees who care. From fragrant and beyond-fresh organic herbs and spices, to soothing essential oils and delicious herbal teas, the quality and integrity of Mountain Rose Herbs is unparalleled – with smiles guaranteed.

Here’s what we received in our package, and what you will receive if you are the winner of this giveaway:

Macadamia Nut Oil: Made from expeller pressed Macadamia nuts, this pure oil is a unique and decadent treat. The alluring aroma and flavor of this elegant champagne colored oil imparts a rich buttery sweetness to any dish. It’s a marvelous oil to infuse with garlic, aromatic basil leaves, or spicy red chilies. Try it with pasta salads, grilled seafood, omelets, vegetable sautes, or as a finishing oil on oven baked pizza.

Almond, Sweet Oil: This wonderfully aromatic oil will invigorate the senses with its refreshingly nutty aroma and light sweet finish. Our unrefined oil is expeller pressed from raw almond kernels, making it exceptionally rich in fatty acids. The delicate flavor makes this a gentle cooking oil for both sweet and savory dishes. Try it as a gourmet salad oil with your favorite fruit vinegar, garden herbs, and shaved parmesan.

Rainbow Peppercorns: Grinding whole peppercorns will add intoxicating spice to every edible creation imaginable. The farmers who grow our herbs and spices are given full negotiation rights in determining the price of their harvests under our Good Trade Program. This far exceeds traditional fair trade standards – which is good for the growers and good for you! Mountain Rose Herbs also donates 2% of the proceeds from this line to the Organic Consumers Association in thanks for their important work. This helps support the organic movement with every meal you lovingly prepare.

Smoked Sea Salt: A new breed of natural smoked sea salt which we find stimulating to the taste buds and complimentary to North American culinary dishes. This Pacific Sea Salt is slow smoked over real Pacific Alder wood, giving it an authentic and full bodied smoke flavor. This alluring salt is a 100 % natural way to add an authentic smoked flavor that does not leave a lingering “charcoal-like” after taste. Smoked Sea Salt combines traditional Alder wood flavor with the benefits of mineral rich sea salt to create a unique flavor profile to be used within your favorite foods.

Himalayan Pink Salt: Himalayan Pink Salt is one of the purest salts available for culinary, therapeutic and cosmetic uses. This delectable salt has beautifully formed crystals which range in color from off-white to a lustrous pink, which indicates a quantifiable amount of 84 trace elements & iron. The benefits are endless but Himalayan Pink Salt is primarily used for gourmet cooking and in bath preparations.

Grilling Herbs: This blend packs a punch with its bold flavor and penetrating aroma which holds itself well against high heat and direct flame. Popularly used as an all purpose flavor enhancer for any item which you grill or barbeque where most seasoning will burn off or dissipate.
Contains the following ingredients: Organic Garlic, organic Rosemary, organic Black Pepper, organic Thyme, and organic herbs.

Cyprus Flake Salt: A Mediterranean delight, Cyprus Flake salt is known for its distinctive pyramid shape, light texture and mild taste. Widely used for cooking and baking, its delicate crunch also makes it a tasty garnish for fish and vegetable dishes. A superb finishing salt!
