Nobody knows the products at DeLaurenti better than our staff. They do the buying, the selling, and the eating. They sample products from around the world and work hard to pick only the best for our customers!  We asked five key staff members to select some of their favorite items they wouldn’t want to live without.

Elyse Hoang, Deli Manager / Cheese Buyer

Riga Smoked Sprats – “Best bang for your buck. Eat it out of the can or fry it up in a hot cast iron skillet for a shatteringly crispy bite!”

Bergamino di Bufala – “Luscious and decadent. Guaranteed to always sell out fast because the staff and customers go crazy for it!”

Lady Edison Country Ham – “Domestic cured ham with melt-in-your-mouth marbling and full of umami anchovy-esque flavors!”

Beurre de Baratte Fleur de Sel – “Is there anything more dreamy than cultured French butter slathered on a crusty piece of bread?! It also has as a cow stamped on the top…I can’t even express how much more special that makes it.”

Matt Snyder, Co-Owner

Comte 24 month – “Where do you even start? Hard to know…but one thing I do know: Comte is one of the world’s greatest & most versatile cheeses. Enjoy it on a cheese board, melt it, put in on a sandwiche or eat it like an apple!”

Bachan’s GF Japanese BBQ Sauce – “ALWAYS in our fridge at home. No drop off with the GF version. Perfect as a marinade, or a condiment for your signature rice bowl.”

Mulino Bianco Girotondi + Italian Nutella – “Technically two items, but it should be one. Instructions: take a knife, spread nutella on cookie, eat…repeat.”

Scalia Anchovies (in the flip top jar) – “Great quality anchovies in a jar that closes! If you think this is too big of an anchovy commitment, you need to use more anchovies!”

Nate Plutko, Co-Owner

Pico – “My son Rémi’s favorite cheese! Gooey & spreadable and just ‘goaty’ enough!”

Uncle Jerry’s Dark Pretzels – “Dark…NOT burned! Don’t be scared, just try them!”

Momofuku Chili Crunch – “Spice up any rice bowl, top your grilled pork or take your salmon to the next level!”

Donostia Anchovy Stuffed Olives – “The cult favorite. These things are amazing. Just ask the committed group of long-time DeLaurenti customers who have been buying them for the last 20 years!”

Tom Drake, Wine Manager and Buyer

Segreti di Sicilia Tonno con Capperi – “Add your favorite cut of pasta and your meal is complete.”

Riccio’s Salsiccia Calabrese – “Step up your pizza and pasta game or use in place of brats on the grill this summer.”

DeLaurenti Artichoke Spread – “I can’t buy this anymore because I’ll eat the whole container in one sitting.”

Scharfe Maxx – “Summertime is beautiful in Seattle because it’s always a great day to crack open a crisp, mineral, refreshing white wine. What goes with that better than some alpine cheese, like Scharfe Maxx? You can email me at tomd@delaurenti.com if you think you know, but I’ll tell you now: you’re wrong.”

Kelli Hurst, Kitchen / Café

Cici’s Lemon Cookies – “No brainer…everyone’s favorite, but that doesn’t mean they don’t belong on the list.”

Nong’s Khao Sauce – “Not enough people know about this! Great on grilled fish in the summer or chicken any other month!”

Brabander – “Gouda, but not your ordinary gouda…nutty, sweet, creamy, and…GOAT!”

Pash Rash – “So drinkable, refreshing and sparkling. Once you open the bottle, you have to finish it!”
