Item Highlights
Fennel
Fennel is a vegetable with feathery fronds and a bulbous base, fennel brings a delicate flavor that’s a mix of mild sweetness and a hint of anise. Its crisp texture makes it perfect for raw salads, adding a refreshing crunch, while its softer side emerges beautifully when roasted or sautéed. Fennel is perfect to shave thinly in a salad, pairing it with citrus fruits like oranges or grapefruit. The sweetness of the fruit enhances fennel’s anise notes, creating a bright, vibrant dish. Roasting fennel is another fantastic option, as it caramelizes and becomes tender, perfect alongside roasted chicken or fish.
Pasamontes Manchego
Pasamontes Manchego is a standout among Spanish cheeses. Made from the milk of Manchega sheep in the La Mancha region, this cheese has a rich, nutty flavor with a hint of tang. Aged for at least three months, it has a firm texture that can be slightly crumbly. The cheese pairs well with olives, almonds, or a drizzle of honey. It also complements Spanish meats like jamón and chorizo. For a simple yet delicious snack, serve it with crusty bread and a glass of red wine.
Azul Mama Maris
Azul Mama Maris is a bold blue cheese with a creamy texture and an intense, salty flavor. Its marbled veins give it a strong, tangy bite that stands out on any cheese board. Perfect for blue cheese lovers, this cheese offers a rich depth of flavor that pairs beautifully with contrasting and complementary elements. Pair with sweet fruits like figs, pears, or apples, bold reds like Cabernet Sauvignon or Malbec, & crusty bread.
Queens Dwenjang
Queens Doenjang is a premium fermented soybean paste that embodies the rich flavors of traditional Korean cooking. Produced with high-quality soybeans, the Doenjang undergoes a meticulous fermentation process that can last several months, resulting in a complex, savory flavor profile. It serves as a versatile ingredient, integral to many Korean dishes such as stews, soups, and marinades.
Ritual Bourbon Barrel Aged 75%
Ritual Chocolate, a craft chocolate maker based in Park City, Utah, is known for its commitment to high-quality, ethically sourced ingredients. Their Bourbon Barrel Aged 75% chocolate is a prime example of their innovative approach. By aging their dark chocolate in bourbon barrels, they create a unique flavor profile that blends the rich cocoa notes with the warm, complex aromas of bourbon. Enjoy with toasted nuts like almonds or hazelnuts, fresh fruits such as raspberries or strawberries, or a rich red wine like Zinfandel.
