Each month, the Ben to Table Box is a collection of the best I have to offer at Ben to Table (hence the name!). It'll be a combination of both that month's Essentials Box and that month's Delicacies Box. I'm so grateful to the Ben to Table box customers who've already bought a box, and so excited to welcome future folks into the mix.

Rather than rehash everything I've written elsewhere into a single, gonzo, post, I'll instead use the Ben to Table post as a central place from which to link the relevant posts for a given month.

With that said, in your Ben to Table Box this month, you should have received:

• Alubia Blanca beans from Rancho Gordo
• Scarlet Runner beans from Rancho Gordo
• Jimmy Red Grits from Geechie Boy Mill
• Farro Piccolo from Geechie Boy Mill
• Torchiette pasta from Community Grains
• Harissa paste from Entube
• Piparras, from the Basque country, which are basically the best banana peppers you've ever had
• Ali i oli (a classic Catalan spread of oil, garlic, lemon juice, and salt), which is Spain's answer to fancy mayo
• Pimentón picante (spicy smoked paprika)
• Harissa spread from Villa Jerada
• A chocolate bar from Barcelona-based premium chocolate company, Blanxart
  AND EITHER:
• A can of navajas (razor clams) from the Galician coast
  OR:
• Romesco, Spanish pesto made from tomato and nuts
• Pimentón dulce (mild smoked paprika)
