A note on pricing & currencies
To keep this space open to our international community, we rely on a third-party storefront vendor to host our shop. Because our platform provider requires all base pricing to be set in USD, international checkout totals are dynamically calculated based on current exchange rates. This means the final price you see might vary slightly from day to day, but the system handles these conversions automatically to keep things as accurate & fair as possible wherever you are cooking from!
