The Pantry

An artisan pantry you'd never expect to find on Highway 1.

Tucked inside The Village Cobblery & Provisions on Highway 1 in Gualala is a carefully curated selection of specialty food products sourced from small producers around the world — and a few from right here in the United States.

This isn't a grocery store shelf. Every product here was chosen because it belongs — because it's made by someone who cares how it's produced, because it tastes like nothing you'll find at a standard retailer, and because it belongs in the hands of someone who appreciates the difference.

The shelf changes regularly as we discover new producers and rotate seasonal selections. If you see something you love, don't wait — it may not be here next time.

What's on the Shelf

Tinned Fish & Conservas

One of the finest tinned fish selections on the Mendocino Coast. We carry Portuguese conservas from Lisbon, Nordic sardines from Copenhagen, sustainably-raised smoked salmon from the Pacific Northwest, Spanish ventresca and stuffed preparations from Galicia, and Portuguese hand-prepared sardines in a range of preparations you won't find anywhere nearby. These are the products that serious food lovers drive for.

Hot Sauces & Condiments

Small-batch American hot sauces, Korean fermented pastes and condiments, Mexican moles and salsas macha from Oaxaca, and Thai curry pastes and dipping sauces made in San Francisco. Not the bottles you've seen everywhere — these are producers doing something genuinely different.

Japanese Pantry

A deeper Japanese pantry selection than most specialty food stores carry. Artisan soy sauces, ponzu, dashi vinegars, organic ume plum vinegar, black sesame paste, hand-pulled ramen noodles, dried kombu, and more — sourced from small producers across Japan.

Olive Oils

Single-origin extra virgin olive oils from Greece, Spain, and Oregon. Cold-pressed, same-day milled, and infused varieties — chosen for their provenance and flavor rather than their label.

Grains, Rice & Pasta

Heirloom Carolina Gold and Santee Gold rices from South Carolina, Italian Carnaroli and Vialone Nano risotto rices from Mantua, Spanish Bomba rice from Valencia, bronze-cut artisan pasta from Arkansas and Nashville, and heritage flours from Arizona stone mills.

Fine Chocolates

Craft chocolate from the Scottish Highlands — UP-UP Chocolate makes small-batch bars in a range of milk and dark varieties, from Dark Sea Salt and Salted Caramel to Wild Mint and Tequila & Lime. The kind of chocolate that stops a conversation.

Honey, Spices & More

Creamed honeys from Tennessee, single-origin spices sourced directly from small farms by Burlap & Barrel, artisan shrubs and mixers from Los Angeles, and a rotating selection of specialty vinegars, salts, and pantry staples from producers we believe in.

How We Choose What Goes on the Shelf

Every product in this pantry was chosen personally. With over 20 years of food industry experience behind the counter, we know the difference between something that looks good on a shelf and something that's genuinely worth buying.

We order in small quantities, which means the shelf is always changing. It also means that when you find something you love here, you're finding something real — not a mass-produced product dressed up in artisan packaging.
