Available in dark or milk chocolate >>

Available in half or whole liter bottles.
1. Black Garlic Molasses - Most years, the launch of our best-ever olive oil would easily nab the #1 spot on this list. But one product captured the imagination - and taste buds - of our staff and customers in ways that we've never seen before. Black Garlic Molasses was so compelling, we launched a new blog series, Food 4 Thought, to sufficiently tell its story. The only ingredient in this black nectar is garlic, and it's as good for you as it is delicious. Read all about it here.
