Item Highlights
Collards
Collard greens are a beloved staple of southern cuisine, known for their hearty texture and rich, earthy flavor. These large, leafy greens thrive in cooler weather and are packed with nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, as well as calcium and fiber. Collards have been cultivated and cherished for centuries, both for their culinary versatility and their role in traditional dishes around the world. Â
Whether slow-cooked with smoky meats, sautéed with garlic and olive oil, or used as a wrap for grains and proteins, collard greens bring a satisfying depth to any meal. Their bold flavor and sturdy texture make them a kitchen essential, perfect for both comforting classics and modern, creative dishes..
Ewephoria
Ewephoria is an exceptional sheep’s milk gouda made in the Friesland region of the Netherlands. Crafted by Dutch cheesemakers with a deep respect for tradition, this semi-hard cheese was originally developed for the American market to showcase the rich, sweet flavors of sheep’s milk. Aged for at least six months, Ewephoria has a golden, crumbly texture and a buttery flavor profile that combines caramel and butterscotch notes with a slight nuttiness.Â
This crowd-pleasing cheese is incredibly versatile, whether enjoyed on its own, paired with fresh fruit, or grated over roasted vegetables. Its subtle sweetness makes it a natural match for dessert wines or a unique addition to a cheese board. With its complex flavor and creamy finish, Ewephoria is a delightful choice for both casual snacking and special occasions.Â
Walden
Walden, from Sequatchie Cove Creamery in Tennessee, is a true celebration of Southern cheesemaking traditions. This semi-hard, raw cow’s milk cheese is inspired by Alpine-style recipes but crafted with a distinctive sense of place. Aged for three to five months, Walden develops a beautifully natural rind and a firm, golden interior with aromas of toasted nuts and warm, grassy notes. Sequatchie Cove Creamery, known for its commitment to sustainable farming and artisan techniques, uses milk sourced from pasture-raised cows, resulting in cheeses that reflect the lush Tennessee landscape. Â
Rich, nutty, and slightly tangy, Walden is as versatile as it is flavorful. Its robust yet approachable profile makes it perfect for pairing with fresh apples, crusty bread, or cured meats. Whether melted into a gratin, sliced for a sandwich, or served as part of a cheese board, Walden captures the essence of handcrafted cheese with every bite.
Daniel’s Maple Syrup
Daniel’s Maple Syrup is a small-batch delight produced in the heart of Vermont, where generations of sugarmakers have perfected the art of crafting pure, rich syrup. Made from sap harvested from sustainably managed sugar maples, Daniel’s focuses on traditional methods, boiling the sap over wood-fired evaporators to create a syrup with deep, caramelized flavors and a hint of smokiness. The dedication to quality and the land shines through in every bottle. Â
Smooth and robust, this syrup is a versatile pantry staple. Drizzle it over pancakes or waffles, stir it into coffee or cocktails, or use it to glaze roasted vegetables or meats. Its naturally sweet, full-bodied flavor enhances both sweet and savory dishes, making it a must-have for any kitchen.

Infused with refreshing peppermint and balanced by the deep, rich notes of 72% dark chocolate, this bar is a perfect blend of indulgence and cheer.
