Sugar & Salt Gourmet Market Now Open at Christophe Harbour

By Katherine Verano in Community, Shopping, St. Kitts

Your neighborhood market is now open at the Christophe Harbour Marina Village in St. Kitts. Sugar & Salt Gourmet Market offers a variety of gourmet specialty items that cater to the superyacht chef, hotel culinary whiz, or the weekend warrior chef who appreciates the art of cooking and fine ingredients, all right here on the Southeast Peninsula.

Think Dean & DeLuca meets Trader Joe’s; Fortnum & Mason meets Little Waitrose. Sugar & Salt has a rustic flare punctuated by bright Caribbean colors and features a mix of gourmet items from around the world and local products from just around the corner. Old whiskey barrels hold penny candy like Mary Janes and Jawbreakers as well as specialty snacks like Tartuflanghe Pesto Chips and Angie’s Boom Chica Pop. A custom made tasting table displays fine wines and spirits along with a selection of Cuban cigars and will soon host daily tastings.

    

Want to hand roll your own sushi? We have Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise and Nori seaweed sheets plus all the accoutrements like tamari, pickled ginger and wasabi. Other specialty items include dried kafir lime leaves and gourmet spices like Maldan sea salt, tarragon, spearmint, fennel, dried mushrooms, and all grades of olive oils.

A store full of specialty goods needs a special eye, and that’s where Store Manager Darren Lee comes in. Originally from Trinidad, Lee has spent the last several years managing grocery stores and yacht provisioning for Ram’s Supermarkets in St. Kitts and previously served in the Trinidad Navy. Lee lends this experience to oversee the market operations and assist with provisioning. He’s also happy to share a recommendation on his favorite wine pairings or a few must-have ingredients.

Beyond the brick and mortar, Sugar & Salt also provides a full onsite provisioning service via a collaboration with Superyacht Supplies Ltd. With more than fifteen years of experience sourcing and delivering the finest quality of fresh foods – salmon from Scotland, Kobe beef from Japan, indulgences such as Caciocavallo cheese made in Campania from the rare Podolica cows’ milk, plus a full range of interior essentials, Superyacht Supplies Ltd. is a perfect pairing for the bustling superyacht marina and marina village in Christophe Harbour in St. Kitts.

The boutique provisioning program supplies the very best of everything for superyachts, residents and guests alike and the freshest quality via direct flights into Christophe Harbour. That means fresh cheese and charcuterie, fresh smoked salmon and other delicacies are available daily!

Beyond Superyacht Supplies Ltd., Sugar & Salt has established partnerships with local vendors such as Ram’s, Opus, and Carib Brewery as well as local farmers, fisherman and other purveyors to provide a mix of local products including honey, jams, tomatoes, fruits, microgreens, vegetables, local eggs, fish and more.

Sugar & Salt Gourmet Market is open daily in the Christophe Harbour Marina Village from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.
