Mangia! by Clif Family: November & December News

The short, cozy days of the season are made for the table inside: slow Sunday suppers, a Friendsgiving spread that takes over the whole counter, a cheeseboard by the fire while the rain comes down, and a jar of something good tucked into a holiday gift bag. This season’s Mangia! box is built for exactly that: small-batch, organic goodness from our farm in Napa Valley, made to be shared with the people you love and not overthought.


Mangia! is the sustainable food subscription box that enhances your everyday with limited-edition, small-batch, delicious goods. As a member, you’re part of a community that believes good food and a better world belong on the same plate.


Feel good about what you eat. Feel better about who feeds you. 


Here’s what’s heading your way this season: two farm-made spreads worth opening early, a smart-snacking nut mix, and a chocolate bar made to meet a glass of wine. Keep them for your own holiday table, or wrap them up for someone who’d love them.

Clif Family Organic Apple Butter

Fall flavors for your spoon. 


Our sustainably grown organic apples come from the Clif Family Farm, where they’re hand-picked at the peak of ripeness. Each jar is made in small batches in our Organic Farm Kitchen for a beautifully balanced spread. 


As a snack: Spread it on toast, pancakes or grilled cheese, or spoon it over a toasted English muffin or a warm bowl of steel-cut oats. To elevate your next cheese board, serve it alongside a bloomy wedge of Robiola. 


In a meal: For an easy glaze, warm it with a little balsamic vinegar and olive oil, then brush it on poultry, pork tenderloin, duck or your favorite veggies just before roasting or grilling.

Clif Family Organic Savory Onion Jam

Rich and delicious — the jam EVERYONE talks about


Made with organic onions grown on the Clif Family Farm, this jam is caramelized low and slow for over three hours with herbs from the farm. The result is a delicate, delicious blend of savory and sweet.


As a snack: Pile it onto a warm scone or buttered sourdough. A dollop is the perfect partner for a charcuterie board, and we love stirring it into onion dip for a fancier take on chips and dip.


In a meal: We love it on burgers and sandwiches, and even worked into marinades for meat. It pairs beautifully with a bottle of Cabernet Franc or Malbec.

Clif Family Organic Hot Honey Nut Mix

Sweet, spicy and crunchy — everything you crave in one bite 


Get your taste buds buzzing with our Hot Honey Nut Mix! If you crave the ultimate blend of sweet and spicy, look no further. A touch of honey mingles with a subtle kick of heat for a combo you won’t be able to put down.


As a snack: Pour a handful straight from the bag on a hike, a road trip or during that 3 p.m. desk moment when you want something with real crunch and real flavor.


In a meal: Chop and scatter it over a grain bowl or an Asian-inspired salad, fold it into a cheese board for a sweet and spicy counterpoint, or crush it into a crust for roasted chicken. It’s a natural friend to a glass of Bici Red.

Clif Family x TCHO Napa Noir Dark Chocolate

The chocolate bar that truly wants to be paired with Cabernet 


Crafted in collaboration with fellow Certified B Corp chocolate maker TCHO, this decadent dark chocolate bar captures the flavors of Napa Valley. It’s made with a distinctive blend of fruit-forward, certified organic and Fair Trade cacao from Africa and South America, then finished with Cabernet Sauvignon-infused sea salt and cacao nibs aged in our red wine barrels for up to eight months. It’s a delicious pairing of wine and chocolate that showcases our shared commitment to sustainability, quality and innovation.


As a snack: Open the bar, pour a glass, done. We love it with the 2022 Kit’s Killer Cabernet.


In a meal: Use Napa Noir in your favorite dessert recipes, melt it into a sweet fondue, or make it the star of your next s’mores.


Chef Magnus suggests you try our recipe for Napa Noir Cabernet Chocolate Brownies.

However you gather this holiday season — around a fire pit, at the fancy dining room table, at a holiday parade or with a backpack headed somewhere snowy — these goodies are made to come along.
