Mantry: The Modern Man’s Pantry Subscription Box Service American
Artisan Foods
If you have a man who is hard to shop for on your list don’t fret because I have the perfect gift idea for you – and no, it’s not a tie, socks or tools! Get creative and give him the gift of American artisan foods from Mantry!
Mantry (the Modern Man’s Pantry) is an innovative food-of-the month club that helps one discover American Artisan foods and what to do with them. Each month’s box is packed full of gourmet foods that can be sampled alone or used to create one of the delicious recipes found on the Mantry site. Even the packaging is eclectic and cool, a small, handmade wooden crate with a simple rustic look.
The box my husband received was the Coffee and Smoke, and it included six full size products made by small companies using both smoke and coffee in the process – two of America’s oldest vices. My husband loves both coffee and smoked foods so I knew he would get a kick out of this month’s Mantry box!
La Quercia Smoky Borsellino
Straight from Norwalk, Iowa, this Smoky Borsellino salami is made from humanely raised American pork, and flavored with a pleasing blend of pepper and caraway with a hint of smokiness.
Hot Georgia Soul Signature BBQ Sauce
This Southern Soul Signature BBQ sauce come from a former 1955 pit stop that was converted into an open-pit BBQ restaurant in St. Simons Island, Georgia. This craft-made sauce has a brown sugar sweet, tangy tomato base with just a hint of mustard and a black pepper kick. Perfect on ribs or any other grilled or smoked meat or seafood!
