Item Highlights
Red Beets
Red beets are a nutrient-dense root vegetable with a rich, earthy flavor and striking deep red color. Packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, they offer a variety of health benefits, from supporting heart health to boosting stamina. When prepared, beets develop a naturally sweet taste, especially when roasted, while boiling or steaming retains their tender texture and earthy depth. Their versatility in the kitchen makes them a popular choice for a wide range of dishes, from salads to soups to juices.
Whether enjoyed roasted, pickled, or grated raw, red beets pair well with a variety of flavors. Their earthy sweetness is enhanced by tangy ingredients like citrus or goat cheese, and they complement fresh herbs such as dill or parsley. Beets also stand up well to stronger, richer flavors like balsamic vinegar or smoked meats, making them a staple in many savory dishes.
Marzolino
Salcis, a family-run producer in the heart of Tuscany, has been creating fine cheeses for generations, drawing on the region’s rich agricultural heritage and a commitment to using locally sourced sheep’s milk. Their dedication to preserving traditional methods while caring for the land and animals shines through in every wheel.
Marzolino is a semi-soft cheese with a smooth, velvety texture and a mild yet distinctive flavor. A gentle tang complements the fresh, grassy notes of the sheep’s milk. It is delicately balanced, with creamy, buttery undertones, subtle nuttiness and a whisper of fresh herbs. It is delectable paired with a drizzle of honey, fresh fruit, or enjoyed on its own.
Herb Provence
Park City Creamery, a family-owned farm in the heart of Utah, specializes in producing small-batch, handcrafted cheeses. With a focus on sustainability and using locally sourced milk, the farm has built a reputation for quality and care in every wheel of cheese.
Their Herb Provence Fresh Goat Cheese is a smooth, creamy cheese with a mild, tangy base that showcases the natural freshness of the milk. This cheese offers a beautifully balanced flavor profile, infused with a blend of thyme, rosemary, and lavender. The herbs add a fragrant, savory complexity that pairs perfectly with the cheese’s creamy texture. Whether spread on a slice of crusty bread, crumbled over salads, or enjoyed on its own, this cheese brings a taste of the Utah countryside to your table.
