Founded by Napa Valley chef, vintner, TV, host and author Michael Chiarello, NapaStyle showcases handcrafted home goods and artisanal specialty foods that celebrate all things cooking, entertaining, wine, garden, and home. Chiarello spreads his passion for seasonal and sustainable living through his uniquely designed NapaStyle products including his artisan-made salami, salts and spreads, reclaimed barnwood furniture, vintage flatware, and specialty barware. “Food comes alive for me when it tells a story, and nearly every dish I make has one — of a childhood hike with my family to forage for mushrooms, of an afternoon spent canning tomatoes with neighbors,” Chiarello notes. “I created NapaStyle to share these stories and the rich, uncomplicated lifestyle that the Napa Valley inspires.” Consider Chiarello’s trio of spreads for easy entertaining. The caramelized flavor of the Sicilian Eggplant Caponata is balanced with just enough acidity to partner with wine. The Salsa Genovese, made of the freshest green olives and olive oil, is fantastic spooned over fish, chicken, or pork. Pepperonata Rustica highlights deeply roasted peppers. Serve on a pizza or sandwich or as a side dish. (www.napastyle.com) JANE SHIOMI
