(WO)MAN-NING THE MARKET

I recently raved about the new farmers market that is being hosted on Thursday afternoons by Boston Public Market on the Rose Kennedy Greenway between Milk Street and India Street. As usual, there is even more food news coming from inside the Market- This time having to do with a trio of new vendors.

Curio Spice Co., Parlott Chocolatier, and Oohjacquelina Jewelry are all women-owned and operated businesses that will surely add sweetness and spice to the mouthwatering mix at the Market (which was recently named one of the 10 Best Public Markets in America by USA Today!).

Long a favorite in Cambridge Curio now brings its unparalleled collection of ethically-sourced global flavors to Boston so more home and professional chefs can enjoy. From Sri Lankan cinnamon and Turkish salt to seaweed mixes from Maine, Curio has all you need for any summer recipes and will also be partnering with George Howell Coffee to make a rose cardamom latte just for the Market! 

Brazilian-born Lu Parlott grew up helping her mom make chocolates with the beans her father farmed. As fans of her Westwood store know, that familial love comes through in every bite of her bars, barks, and brigadeiros, all of which are made from the finest ingredients with passion and style.

For those who want to look great in the kitchen or at any summer soiree, Oohjacquelina’s founder Jacquelyn Wells combines semi-precious stones, pearls, and hypoallergenic-waterproof metals together in customizable creations of hand-hammered harmony that are built to last and to impress. 

Whether inside or out, the Boston Public Market always has great things to taste and try and these designing women will surely keep that tradition going strong!
