2. Rodolphe Le Meunier Beurre de Baratte Demi-Sel – The World's Most Celebrated Salted Butter
There is butter. And then there is Rodolphe Le Meunier Beurre de Baratte Demi-Sel.
Handcrafted in the Loire Valley by world-renowned cheesemaker and butter artisan Rodolphe Le Meunier, this butter begins with milk sourced from carefully selected local French farms. The cream is pasteurized within 48 hours of harvest, then fermented for 24 hours before being churned in a traditional wooden baratte and molded entirely by hand.
The result? A vibrant, golden-yellow butter with a nutty, tangy depth and the delicate crunch of fleur de sel from Île de Ré. Sold in the finest gourmet delicatessens from Paris to Tokyo — and now at your table.
Ingredients: Pasteurized cream, salt (fleur de sel from Île de Ré), lactic starters.
Whether you're finishing a sauce, spreading it on a warm baguette, or simply letting it melt over roasted vegetables, this butter transforms everything it touches.

3. Bonewerks Culinarte Braised Balsamic Barbecue Pork Shank – 12/Case
An upscale appetizer that earns a standing ovation every time.
The Bonewerks Culinarte Braised Balsamic BBQ Pork Shank is hand-seasoned with a barbecue rub, oven-seared to perfection, then slow-braised sous vide in a Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce enriched with a Modena balsamic reduction and Glace de Porc (pork glace). The result is a deeply flavored, fall-off-the-bone pork shank that's as impressive on a plated appetizer course as it is on a catering buffet.
