Market Pick: G.L. Alfieri Almond Brittle

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.

    I believe you can order online. Their website alfierifarms.com is down but there phone is (209) 599-7382.

    I also found their online shop site through foodzie: http://foodzie.com/producers. You have to sign up to purchase.

    Best treat ever. Can’t order online. I live in S.F. but I have to plan errands around being in the Ferry Building to get it.

    Yes it is! They have a shop inside the Ferry Building, as well as a stand during the farmers’ market on Saturday morning.
