We’re fans of Portland, Oregon, as well as our friends at Wellspent Market founded by Jim Dixon, who returned to Portland after a 1990s trip to Italy and decided to import real deal Italian olive oil. Since then, he’s grown to selling olive oil wholesale and retail. In 2019, he opened a storefront with partner Noah Cable, where they’ve expanded products to include an array of only-in-Portland producers among them. Read on for some Portland favorites —from Wellspent Market and elsewhere — you can try at home.
Portland Monthly recently declared Bakeshop “the absolute best pies in Portland,” which is no surprise considering Kim Boyce’s nationwide acclaim. While they’re only available weekends for Portlanders, a duo of her pies are available via Goldbelly — in pecan and apple buckwheat strussel ($79).
