Item Highlights
Delicata Squash
Delicata squash, sometimes called “sweet potato squash,” is a versatile winter squash known for its creamy texture and natural sweetness. Its thin, edible skin and naturally sweet flavor makes it one of the easiest and most versatile squashes to prepare. Its golden-yellow flesh is creamy and tender, making it ideal for roasting, stuffing, or slicing into rings. Unlike other winter squashes, delicata doesn’t require peeling, which saves time while still delivering incredible flavor. Whether caramelized in the oven or tossed into a hearty salad, it adds a comforting and seasonal touch to any dish.
Delicata squash is packed with nutrients, including fiber, vitamins A and C, and potassium, which support digestion, immunity, and heart health. Its mild, nutty sweetness pairs beautifully with warm spices like cumin, cinnamon, or nutmeg, as well as savory ingredients like sage, parmesan, or browned butter. Its versatility extends to grain bowls, soups, or even as a pizza topping, making it a staple ingredient for creative fall meals.
Hornbacher
Produced by Gourmino, a cooperative of skilled affineurs and cheesemakers, dedicated to preserving traditional Swiss cheesemaking techniques. Crafted in the Swiss Alps using raw milk, this cheese is aged in natural caves, where it develops its rich, complex flavor and unique character. The careful aging process reflects the commitment to quality and authenticity that defines every Gourmino cheese.
Hornbacher has a firm, dense texture and a flavor profile that balances nutty and buttery notes with hints of caramel and a touch of alpine herbs. Its slightly crystalline structure adds to the experience, offering a satisfying crunch with each bite. Perfect for pairing with cured meats, fresh fruits, or a crisp white wine, Gourmino Hornbacher is a standout cheese.
Alpkäse Heuboden
Alpkäse Heuboden is a traditional alpine cheese made from the rich, flavorful milk of cows grazing on high mountain pastures. Crafted in small batches using time-honored methods, this cheese embodies the unique terroir of the Alps, where the diverse grasses and wildflowers give the milk—and the cheese—a distinct, aromatic profile.
With a firm texture and a flavor that balances nutty, buttery notes with a subtle earthiness, Alpkäse Heuboden is a versatile cheese perfect for both snacking and cooking. Its complexity pairs beautifully with fresh fruit, crusty bread, or a glass of robust red wine, making it a favorite among cheese lovers seeking an authentic taste of the Alps.
Mariangela Prunotto Arrabbiata Sauce
Mariangela Prunotto is a family-run company in the heart of Italy, renowned for its dedication to traditional methods and high-quality, organic ingredients. For decades, they have partnered with local farmers to create products that celebrate the authentic flavors of Italian cuisine. Their Arrabbiata Sauce is no exception, made with perfectly ripened Italian tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, and a touch of fiery red chili peppers, all crafted into a rich and vibrant sauce.
This bold, flavorful sauce captures the essence of Italy’s classic arrabbiata recipe. The natural sweetness of the tomatoes is balanced by the warm, lingering heat of the chili, creating a sauce with just the right amount of spice. Ready to use straight from the jar, it’s perfect for tossing with pasta, spooning over pizza, or pairing with roasted vegetables and proteins.
