Paleo Friendly Items at LHF!

Many of our patrons are now following the "paleo" diet which emphasizes grass-fed meats, organic vegetables and fruits, plus nuts and oils.  Liberty Heights Fresh now stocks a few items to make it easier!

La Tourangelle Virgin & Unrefined Coconut Oil - La Tourangelle organic, naturally refined coconut oil is a wonderful all-purpose oil for stir-fry's, sauteeing and in baking.  It's high smoke-point (450F) and mild, neutral flavor makes it great substitute for shortening. It has 0g trans fat and is made from organic coconuts which are expeller-pressed within 4 days of being harvested by hand. No refrigeration is required after opening and it has a 6 month shelf life when opened. 

Purity Farms Organic Ghee - Ghee is clarified butter (butter where the milk solids have been separated and removed.) This creates a shelf-stable butter that is rich tasting and golden colored with a semi-soft texture.   Ideal for high smoke point cooking, use in place of butter in sauteing to impart a buttery flavor.  Purity Farms Ghee is made from Grade AA Sweet Cream Certified Organic. 

Thai Kitchen Organic Coconut Milk - This organic Coconut Milk is made from the pressing of fresh, ripe, organic coconut meat.  Use in place of milk in recipes, or to make delicious frozen desserts, and to add creaminess to soups and sauces.  Gluten and dairy free.

 

CastelaS has rejuvenated the centuries old tradition of Provence to create Late Harvest Fruite Noir olive oil. Produced from four fruity native olive varieties (Salonenque, Aglandau, Grossane and Verdale) and picked at their peak of ripeness, the olives are then  lightly fermented.  The process brings out the deep flavors of preserved black olives, black truffles and cocoa.  

A rare high quality olive oil that is not extra-virgin, the fermentation removes the traditional "green and peppery" notes from the polyphenols, allowing the more subtle complex flavors of the olive to shine. 

A new premium vinegar produced by Acetaia Cattani, Olivewood Balsamic is made from indigenous grapes from the Cattani's own vineyard in the Modenese hills. It is aged for just over 8 years in oak and then Olivewood barrels.  The olivewood aging produces a delicate, sweet and earthy flavor unique to the wood. Pair with red meat and pork, or drizzle over sweet bleu cheese and fresh fruit. 

Cattani is a fifth generation balsamic producer from Modena, Italy, dating back to the early 19th century. In 1980 they converted to organic agriculture to guarantee the highest quality and selection for grapes.

Fat and Juicy Gordal Olives from Spain

This elegantly designed Dequmana olives are cured the traditional and natural way with water and salt. The olives are hand harvested and processed in small batches in barrels to ensure the highest quality product. No dyes, preservatives or overwhelming vinegar to get in your taste buds' way.

The enormous Gordal olive is firm and succulent. Grown mostly in Andalucia, it ripens early and is used exclusively as a table olive due to its lower oil content and many sugars that help in the fermentation process.

The brand reflects the old Roman road named Decumano that ran from the Andalucian town of Carmona (where these olives are produced) to Rome. Much of the olives and olive oil used by the Romans came from Spain and travelled this road.

This product has been produced free of soy, gluten, dairy, and genetically engineered ingredients.

Vibrant Fresh Flowers from California!

Just in time for Valentine's Day – a stunning selection of fresh cut flowers from our most trusted floral partners. In every vibrant color, these flowers are incredibly fresh and were harvested merely days before arriving in our store.

Many of us take pride in knowing the origins of our produce, the names of our ranchers, and the history of the food on our plate. Why should our flowers by any different? With the on-going revelations of the factory flower industry, its treatment of its workers and the chemicals used in production, it is comforting to know there is an alternative. Our flowers are all California grown, with respect for the environment and the workers who bring these beautiful blooms to our homes.

Our stunning heritage roses come from Eufloria, a seven generation family-run company specializing in unique rose varietals raised in a responsible and sustainable manner. Consistently awarded and recognized as some of the most beautiful roses throughout the industry, the company was established in 1984 by Andy Koch and yields roses of rare quality and performance!

Koch's methods have set the standard for the industry. With an innovative, technologically advanced system, growers monitor such things as water schemes, nutrient dosage, CO2 levels, and greenhouse climate. These roses are grown hydroponically in specially treated coconut fiber, byproduct of coconut production, treated with Integrated Pest Management (IPM, a practice where predator insects are released to control pests and reduce the use of harsh chemicals,) and given extraordinary care from before they're planted all the way to your hands.  Their production techniques are honed after years of observation, practice, and tailoring their style to each specific varietal, in a specially designed low- energy facility.

Eufloria's connection to its workers also fosters a strong partnership that results in stuning flowers.  Each employee is selected a specific rose breed to care for and "make it their own." This pride of ownership has translated to an average seven year tenure for employees, with some working there as long as twenty years.

New Raw Milk Cheeses from MeadoWayne Dairy

Just In!  From MeadoWayne Dairy in Colorado City, Arizona (right on the Utah - Arizona border) new rich and delicious raw milk cheeses:

Try their Hickory Smoked Gouda, Smoked mozzarella, Peppercorn Asiago, and Canaan Mountain Select, a tangy four year aged sharp cheddar and Crimson Gold,  an orange sweet toothsome sharp cheddar, also aged four years.

MeadoWayne Dairy has been family owned and operated for over 22 years.  They take pride in providing natural raw milk products both to their community and the surrounding areas. 

Like many of us, you may associate drab cottage cheese with sad diner "diet" plates served with the ubiquitous canned "fruit cocktail" complete with a halved maraschino cherry.  Please strike that image from your mind!

Kalona Supernatural Organic Cottage Cheese is supremely natural in every way, including its texture and appearance. Each container begins with a lovely cream top.  Because the milk they use in the cottage cheese is non-homogenized, the cream naturally rises to the top and separates, creating a true sign of freshness and rich flavor. Stir in the cream, and enjoy a clean texture and farm-fresh flavor that is packed with 12mg of protein per serving (25% DV) and abundant calcium (10%DV.)

Toss with fresh fruit for breakfast, use in lieu of sour cream in recipes or dips, or simply enjoy on it own.

Just In - The Oolite Cheese Company in Manti, Utah is owned and operated by husband and wife team Joel and Rachel; they are living their vision to make fine artisan cheeses uniquely suited to the climate and topography of Manti. The pair craft exclusively handmade ewe's milk cheeses.

Oolite stone is quarried from nearby canyons and was used to build the Manti temple as well as many of the original homes still standing in Sanpete County today, including Joel and Rachel's. This porous stone houses its own microorganisms that contribute to the flavor and development of the cheese. This local stone creates their uniquely local flavor.

Boys' Pants Rebellion – rich and assertive sheep's milk cheese that will "knock your socks off!" Deeply flavored with gray veins and a peppery spicy flavor; cheese culture experts believe it is a previously undiscovered strain of mold that lends its intensity.

What's Her Name? Basque style ewe's milk Balsamic vinegar and salt washed rind cheese with a firm yet melt-in-your-mouth texture and a rich buttery flavor with a hint of tartness. Perfect on a cheese patter with salumi, with fruit, or with a simple piece of crusty bread.

Oolite White – creamy and mild with provocative peppery notes. Wonderful texture!

Oolite Red - deeply creamy, smooth textured, with red and blue streaks and a tangy and peppery flavor.

Oolite Yellow - a milder cheese with delicate natural flavors. Smooth and balanced.
