Product Profiles:

Parqueoliva: Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Parqueoliva (currently available) is a highly awarded oil from South of Spain. It has a very low 0.18% acidity and a unique taste. Smooth and initially sweet with sensational herbal notes such as thyme and mint combined with nuances of tomato, artichoke and ripe fruit; followed by a second combination of wild flowers, spicy pepper. Enjoy it with your
meat, pasta and white fish.

Gravlax: House Cured Salmon
Fishermen in Scandinavia once prepared this saltcured, unsmoked salmon by packing a dry cure of salt and sugar over freshly filleted salmon.  They buried the fish near the stream or river, and continued in this way upstream.  It is excellent on a sandwich or as an appetizer with a salad (NO preservatives).
Available: with dill; pastrami style

Food



Mise en Place Culinary Boutique introduces dry-aged and fresh beef to our list of products.  Dry-aging is a process by which under controlled conditions the natural enzymes in the meat break down the fibers (natural tenderizing). Through this process meat can lose up to 20-25% of its weight through moisture loss, depending on the size of the cut and how long it is aged. In unison with other processes in the meat, this allows for the taste to be concentrated thereby enhancing the flavour. In truth, eating dry-aged beef is as sensual and satisfying as drinking well-aged wine. We offer individual pieces of dry-aged beef for purchase or we can dry-age a whole piece just for you.

If dry-aged meat is not for you, we have plenty of other choices. For your eating pleasure, we offer fresh select Angus striploin, AAA striploin, rib eye, rib steaks, T-bone and Portehouse. In addition, we have fresh-frozen lamb, venison, bison and kangaroo.  We aim to provide a choice for every barbecue.

Want to have a great barbecue, but not do the work? Allow us to help you. We provide a wide range of catering services.
