Would like to start by saying thanks for everyone posting and keeping us updated. It’s what keeps us all going and thinking of the next time!!!

On our trip in the spring I had meandered into Bo Pizza and ordered a couple pies on our first night for an easy dinner. Enjoying my decompression from travel I had a few Heineken and took some deep island breaths while soaking in my surroundings. When the pies were ready and I was settling up, the owner kept insisting that I take some packets of what looked like hot sauce to me. So I grabbed some out of curiosity and respect. Come to find out it was hot oil that is AMAZING!!!! Everyone on our trip bought a couple items, I only brought home packets of that hot oil. I’ve been hoarding it since April.

If you read my trip reports at the time you’d be familiar with our friend who traveled with us. I also found the Goat Cheese 3-D bugles that she loved. We got 12 individual bags for her for a Xmas gift. One for each month!

Here’s the website if anyone is looking to scratch an itch:

Again thanks to everyone who updates on a consistent basis. Big hugs and safe travels!!!

Best thing I have brought home is the French butter frozen and wrapped in some foil. Only on non-stop flights to Philly or New York though!

We get shipments of pepper infused olive oil from family in Italy. Great on pizza crust

Put it in a zip lock frozen or not in your checked bags. It'll travel just fine even on a connecting flight.

OK so now I have to ask what is so special about French Butter, we've never had it.

Were the goat cheese bugles on that website? Couldn't find them.

It has a higher percentage of butter fat. Anymore, it's easily obtainable in the US if you're in an area with good markets.

Thanks, I figured if people are freezing it to bring back home then it must be worth me finding some. I'll check here in Canada if that doesn't work, I'm 10 miles from the US border so that's an option. Or wait 8 weeks when we're back on island. Got it covered thanks
