Blake HillsBotanical Shrub Collection continues to be their most successful new product launch yet, with six US Good Food Awards since its introduction just two harvest seasons ago. This unique Collection captures the essence of everything that is Blake Hill. At its very heart are wild herbs foraged from the meadows at Blake Hill, and fresh organic produce from local farms to provide a special taste of terroir.

OurWild Mint Shrubfeatures springtime wild mint tips from Blake Hill, and ourSpicy Jalepeo Shrubfeatures organic chili peppers from Honey Field Farm. We infuse our botanicals in pure apple cider vinegar within just a few hours of harvest - first a hot infusion, and then a long cold infusion - to capture their fresh, fragrant essence for enjoyment year round says Vicky Allard, Co-Owner and Executive Chef at Blake Hill.

What started as micro Botanical Shrub batches in Blake Hill's Private Kitchen Batch series that had customers traveling from afar to secure a rare bottle is now a formal collection of five botanically infused Shrubs for customers to make incredible cocktails, salad dressings, desserts and more. Our Shrub Collection also includesBasil Blueberrywhich has already garnered two US Good Food Awards of its own, our springtimeRhubarb & Honey Shrub, and a personal favorite ofGinger Turmericwhich makes an incredible Old Fashioned with a Ginger twist says Vicky.

Blake Hills Savory & Spicy Jams Collection has also won many US Good Food Awards since its launch a few years ago. Their latest Winner -Fresh Tomato Savory Jam -features seasonal organic tomatoes from Honey Field Farm, Cherry Tomatoes from the garden beds at Blake Hill, and a hint of Co-Owner Joe Hanglins Mediterranean heritage with a custom infused herb blend. This perfectly balanced sweet-savory jam is a classic pairing for a wide variety of cheese - especially aged cheddar and manchego. It is also a favorite jam to cook with, especially on a pizza base - keeping the crust crisp and providing maximum flavor with a perfect caramelization around the edge when baked. It is also phenomenal with any breakfast egg dishes and stir fries.
