Produce and Nuts
An incredible selection of high quality foods to take your dishes to the next level.
Figs
We use figs in all sorts of dishes, from breakfast porridges to Persian stews. Ponesse is our go-to for these sweet and plump delights. The ones in this photo are a from Brazil.
Raspberries
We both love berries, but one of us is especially fond of raspberries. OK, she freakin' loves them! We love getting them here because no mattter the time of year they are always exceptional quality.
Great Selection of Greens
All the staple, fresh leafy greens: romaine, green and red leaf lettuce; bok choy; celery; green onions; leeks; and, spinach. We especially appreciate their broccolini and rapini.
Garlic
Fresh garlic is a staple in our kitchen. Ponesse never fails to source the best garlic at the right time or year. This superior quality garlic from California will take any dish to a new level.
Nuts, Snacks, and Root Vegetables
A great selection of nuts and root vegtables: salted walnuts; a sweet and savoury nut mix; goji berries; dates; apricots; macadamia; pine nuts; pecans; chocolate almonds; roasted pumpkin seeds; unsalted pumpkin seeds; banana chips; and, unsalted almonds. They also have heirloom carrots, white turnips, fresh parsnips, and ginger on the regular.
Tomatoes
Ponesse always has a wide selection of fresh tomatoes. Here are all the tomatoes from our last visit - every shape, colour and size. Local sweet cherry tomatoes on the vine always look particularly good!
