Amazon Prime Gourmet finds?

Help me find some really great gourmet foods that are available through Amazon Prime.
This Kalamata olive spread is basically my favorite thing. I've also had good luck with dolmas and blue cheese olives from the same company.
I use Amazon for a lot, but I'm not totally sure what you're getting at with this question. Do you want things that are a great value? Or things that are difficult to find in your average supermarket? What sort of foods do you like? I mean, I'm (obviously) a salt junkie, but are you a low-carbing vegan with high blood pressure? A little direction here would get you better (and more) responses.
But buy that olive spread. Seriously.

The Kalamata olive spread that MeghanC mentions is great on rye crackers, and it turns out that Amazon stocks my favorite brand.

Duck fat. Fry/roast everything in it. Trust me.

You can get crazy deals on bulk packages of vanilla beans, if you go through a lot of them (or go in with friends on a pack). I've bought them several times, from a few different sellers, and they've always been great quality.

Not sure if this qualifies as a gourmet food, but Miracle Fruit Tablets are available, and they work. Limes taste wonderful with miracle fruit.

Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil - Some of the best tasting virgin coconut oil I've found online. Strong coconut flavor = great for protein shakes and deserts.
