Gourmet Pantry Items

Primo Oils pride ourselves on offering a curated selection of gourmet pantry items so you always have a well-stocked kitchen. The Primo Shop provides a convenient and enjoyable gourmet shopping online experience. Whether you’re searching for the perfect martini olives, unique salsa, or our famous hot-pickled okra.

Why Choose Primo Oils as Your Go-To Pantry Supplier

We’re picky about what makes it onto our shelves, and we are proud of this fact. Every gourmet pantry item Primo Oils carries has been tasted, tested, and chosen because it genuinely makes the food we (and a lot of other foodies) put on the table taste 100% better. 

We source from local producers, farmers’ markets, and small-batch makers who care about quality the same way we do. You won’t find mass-produced fillers here. 

Our honey is raw and sourced from trusted beekeepers. Our stuffed olives are hand-packed with real almonds, garlic, and blue cheese. Our fruit butters, jams, and salsas are made with zero artificial ingredients.

These are the kinds of products that turn a simple cheese board into something your guests remember, or that make a weeknight dinner feel a little more special without any extra effort. 

Pair them with our premium olive oils and balsamic vinegars, and you’ve got a kitchen that’s ready for just about anything!

Not Sure Where to Start? Here Are Our Favorite Kitchen Additions

With over 60 gourmet pantry items in the shop, it’s easy to feel spoiled for choice. Here are a few crowd favorites to help you get going:

For snacking and entertaining, our stuffed olives are hard to beat. The Almond Stuffed Manzanilla and Garlic Stuffed Gordal are two of our most popular picks and go perfectly alongside a cheese plate or a Primotini.

If you love adding a finishing touch to dishes, our Truffle Salt brings instant depth to eggs, pasta, roasted vegetables, and popcorn. A small pinch does more than you’d expect.

For spreads, our fruit butters and nut butters are customer favorites. They’re made with real ingredients and pair beautifully with toast, charcuterie, or stirred into oatmeal. And if you like a little heat, our pickles and relishes collection has some real gems.

How to Use Your Pantry Essentials

The beauty of keeping a well-stocked pantry is that good meals come together faster. These items aren’t just extras. They’re little upgrades that bridge the gap between a fine meal and an ordinary one.

You can use our honey to sweeten a balsamic vinaigrette, glaze roasted carrots, or drizzle over a warm biscuit. Or stir a spoonful of compote into yogurt or spread it over grilled pork for a sweet-savory finish.

Our seasonings also make quick work of dry rubs, marinades, and finishing touches, so you can skip measuring out six different spice jars. You can also try our signature Awesome Sauce to bypass that entirely!

Stuffed olives aren’t just for snacking, either. Chop them into pasta salads, toss them onto homemade pizza, or drop them into a dirty martini. And our salsas and relishes do double duty as toppings for grilled meats and fish.

The trick is to keep a few favorites on hand and let them do the heavy lifting. For more ideas, browse our recipes or check out our guide to using oils and vinegars for pairing inspiration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are pantry staples?
Pantry staples are the ingredients you reach for over and over, the ones that show up in recipe after recipe. Think olive oil, vinegar, salt, dried pasta, rice, canned tomatoes, and your go-to spices. 

What counts as a “staple” depends on how you cook and what your family enjoys eating. A well-stocked pantry means fewer last-minute grocery runs and more room to get creative with dinner.

What are the must-have pantry items in a kitchen?
Start with a quality extra virgin olive oil and a good balsamic vinegar, as those two cover an enormous range of cooking needs. Dried pasta, rice, canned tomatoes, broth, and a handful of essential spices form the backbone of most weeknight meals. 

From there, add items that match your style, like honey, mustard, nut butters, stuffed olives, or specialty salts. The best pantry reflects how you cook, not what some chef on the internet told you to store.

How to store pantry items so they last longer?
The three enemies of pantry freshness are light, heat, and moisture. 

Keep oils and vinegars in a cool, dark cabinet away from the stove, and seal them tightly after every use. 

Transfer opened dry goods like flour, rice, and cereal into airtight glass or heavy-duty plastic containers. Spices hold their flavor longest in a closed drawer or cupboard rather than on an open countertop rack.

How to organize pantry items neatly?
Group similar items together so oils, vinegars, grains, canned goods, and baking supplies each have their own spot. 

Keep what you use most at eye level and store less-used items on higher or lower shelves. Clear containers let you see what you have at a glance and help prevent buying duplicates. Then every couple of weeks, do a quick check for expired items and move older products to the front.

What is a pantry moth?
A pantry moth is a small winged insect, usually the Indian meal moth, that lays its eggs in dry food products. The adults don’t eat your food, but the larvae do, feeding on flour, cereal, rice, nuts, spices, and dried fruit. 

You’ll spot them as tiny moths fluttering near kitchen lights, silky webbing in food packages, or small worm-like larvae. They usually enter your home through grocery items already carrying eggs, so they can show up in any kitchen.

How do you get rid of pantry moths?
Start by pulling everything out of your pantry, inspecting each item, and tossing anything with webbing, larvae, or holes in the packaging.

 Vacuum all shelves, corners, and crevices thoroughly, then wipe surfaces down with warm soapy water or a vinegar solution. Transfer all remaining dry goods into airtight glass or heavy-duty plastic containers, as larvae can chew through cardboard and thin bags. 

Pheromone traps help catch remaining adult males and break the breeding cycle, but regular monitoring is what keeps them gone for good.
