Welcome to a very special food magazine. Whether you’re a foodie or just like good food, a connoisseur or someone who wants to learn more...we write THE NIBBLE for you.

When you face a wall of 15 brands of gourmet olive oil and vinegar...expensive chocolates and cheeses...20 types of sea salt, dozens of gourmet preserves, tea and other specialties...how do you know what’s good versus what’s great? There are incredible gourmet foods that never make it into food shops—the best smoked hams, amazing cookies and other products—but how do you find them?

THE NIBBLE is your personal scout, telling you about the new, the noteworthy and the amazing specialty foods and gourmet foods. We save you time and money by tasting more than 3,000 products each year. We then review only the most special of these specialty items...most of which can transform basic foods just by opening the jar. You don’t have to know how to cook (beyond basic boiling and broiling). And you don’t have to be a gourmet or have a lavish lifestyle, since most of the foods we write about are perfect for everyday meals and affordable by just about anyone. The products are generally available by mail order, so you can get them no matter where you live.
