Market Pick: G.L. Alfieri Almond Brittle

April 2, 2011

Where: G.L. Alfieri Nuts & Fruits, front of the SF Ferry Building on market days
What: Dark Chocolate Almond Brittle

G.L. Alfieri Farms has a fantastic assortment of nuts and dried fruit.  For bakers, the ground almond meal and flour are perfect for making French macarons.  I am eager test out the flour the next time I bake. But for instant gratification, I turn to the addicting Dark Chocolate Almond Brittle.  It’s thin, with just the right ratio of brittle to chocolate coating. At the stand they are generous with their samples and I leave to peruse the rest of the market in good spirits.
