"artisanal food" news and stories

Are you interested in great, artisan foodstuffs, the kind of food that is made lovingly in the traditional ways by small farmers and producers? Look no further that Regional Best, a new e-commerce site that gathers all kinds of products under one virtual roof for your convenience.

I must admit that when I first read the name of the website, I thought that it would be designed as a way to easily find local producers in your area. Though that function is semi-available, Regional Best is really designed as a way to bring attention to great, artisanally-crafted goods and producers. You can look for goods by region (south, southwest, west, midwest, mid-atlantic, New England), or yon can search for products by category (cheese, meats, coffee/tea, condiments, gifts, desserts, oils, etc).

I took plenty of time checking this out recently, and there's not much that I wouldn't order. I especially liked the selection of meats and condiments. Sadly, there wasn't as much on offer as far as desserts as I'd like to see, but it's still a new site and I'm sure they'll be adding new products as they find them. I think that Regional Best would be especially useful at Christmas for that foodie in your life.
