Item Highlights
Blood Oranges
Blood oranges stand out with their striking crimson flesh and uniquely complex flavor, a balance of sweet citrus and subtle berry-like tartness. These Mediterranean oranges develop their deep red hue thanks to anthocyanins, the same antioxidants found in berries and red wine. They thrive in cooler growing conditions, which enhance both their vibrant color and rich taste.
Beyond their stunning appearance, blood oranges are incredibly versatile. Their bold, sweet-tart flavor makes them perfect for fresh eating, juicing, or adding a bright citrus note to both sweet and savory dishes. They’re a favorite in salads, cocktails, and desserts, and their juice brings a beautiful ruby hue to drinks and sauces. With a short season, these distinctive oranges are an amazing winter treat— enjoy them while they’re here!
Parrano
Parrano Cheese combines the nutty, savory flavors of aged Parmesan with the creamy, smooth texture of Dutch Gouda. Crafted in the Netherlands using traditional methods, Parrano is aged for about five months, allowing it to develop its signature blend of sharpness and sweetness. The result is a versatile cheese that’s both familiar and unique, making it a favorite among cheese lovers looking for something a little different.
Its complex flavor profile makes Parrano a fantastic addition to cheese boards, but it’s just as delicious melted into pasta, shredded over salads, or paired with fruits and nuts. With its approachable taste and smooth meltability, it’s a great choice for everything from casual snacking to elevating everyday dishes.
Truffle Shuffle
Blakesville Creamery’s main goal is to humanely raise healthy goats using sustainable farming practices to produce the highest quality, handmade artisan cheeses. Blakesville started their farmstead creamery, meaning the cheeses are made on the same farm that the animals were raised, in 2020. Since then they have been constantly innovating and curating unique, delicious cheeses with the utmost care and attention on purity, quality, and flavor.
Truffle Shuffle is one of their standout cheeses, offering a luxurious take on a classic fresh goat cheese with the addition of black truffles. Creamy and smooth, it is infused with earthy, aromatic truffles that enhance its tangy, slightly sweet base. The balance of rich umami depth and fresh, bright goat cheese flavors makes it a perfect spread for crusty bread or a decadent addition to scrambled eggs and risotto. It brings a refined, indulgent touch h0wever you choose to use it!
Top Seedz Rosemary Crackers
Top Seedz is a woman-owned company dedicated to making nutritious, handcrafted snacks using simple, organic ingredients. Known for their seed-packed crackers, they focus on creating flavorful, wholesome options that are both delicious and nourishing. Each batch is made with care, using high-quality ingredients to ensure a perfect balance of taste and texture.
Their rosemary crackers have a crisp, delicate texture with a fragrant herbal flavor that makes them hard to put down. A blend of seeds adds a satisfying crunch, while rosemary brings a warm, savory note. Whether paired with cheese, dipped into hummus, or enjoyed straight from the box, they offer a flavorful and wholesome snack.
Amano Citrus Mélange À Trois 63% Dark Chocolate
Amano’s Citrus Mélange À Trois is a bright, complex take on the classic pairing of chocolate and citrus. Made with Ecuadorian cacao sourced directly from farmers, this bar reflects Amano’s dedication to quality and craftsmanship. The company, known for its meticulous bean-to-bar process, focuses on capturing the pure essence of fine cacao while layering in bold, complementary flavors.
Here, the richness of dark chocolate meets the vibrant oils of yuzu, tangerine, and grapefruit, creating a balanced mix of tart and sweet. Small pieces of orange fruit leather are blended in, adding bursts of chewy texture and a juicy depth that enhances the citrus notes. The result is a chocolate bar with layers of bright, tangy flavors that unfold with every bite.
