Item Highlights
Orange Bell Peppers
Orange bell peppers are a beautiful burst of color and delicious natural sweetness. Their crisp texture and juicy bite make them a standout, whether eaten raw in salads, roasted to enhance their caramelized flavor, or blended into soups and sauces. Compared to their red and green counterparts, orange bell peppers strike a balance between mild sweetness and refreshing crunch, making them an easy favorite!
Beyond their flavor, these peppers are packed with nutrients, offering a rich source of vitamin C and antioxidants that support immune health and skin vitality. They make an excellent addition to everything from stir-fries to crudité platters, adding both nutrition and flavor to your meals.
Calderwood
Jasper Hill Farm’s Calderwood is a truly unique cheese that reflects the innovative spirit of its makers in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom. Crafted from raw cow’s milk and inspired by Alpine traditions, Calderwood is aged in Jasper Hill’s famous cellars before being coated in hay from their pastures. This distinctive aging process imparts a grassy, nutty character to the cheese while highlighting the farm’s commitment to sustainability.
With its firm texture and deeply savory flavor, Calderwood offers notes of browned butter, roasted nuts, and a hint of sweetness, balanced by an earthy finish. Perfect for grating over pastas, pairing with crusty bread, or enjoying on a cheeseboard, this cheese is versatile and distinctive. Widely celebrated for its exceptional quality, Calderwood is a standout among American artisan cheeses.
Romero
Pasamontes’ Romero is an artisan Manchego cheese produced by the Pasamontes family, who have been crafting traditional cheeses in La Mancha, Spain, for generations. Made with raw sheep’s milk, this cheese showcases the rich, nutty, and slightly tangy character that defines high-quality Manchego. It features a firm yet creamy texture.
What sets Romero apart is its aromatic rosemary rind, which infuses the cheese with a subtle herbal essence. The fragrant rosemary complements the savory notes of the Manchego, creating a distinctive and well-rounded profile. Whether enjoyed on its own, paired with Spanish red wine, or served alongside honey and nuts, this cheese offers a taste of La Mancha’s cheesemaking heritage.
Zejd Souri Green Cracked Olives
Zejd Souri Green Cracked Olives are a testament to Lebanon’s rich olive-growing heritage. Sourced from centuries-old Souri olive trees, these hand-harvested olives are naturally cracked to allow the brine and spices to infuse their firm, meaty texture. The Souri variety, native to the eastern Mediterranean, is known for its bold, slightly peppery flavor and satisfying balance of bitterness and fruitiness.
Preserved in a simple yet flavorful blend of water, salt, and aromatic herbs, Zejd’s cracked olives are perfect for snacking, enhancing mezze spreads, or adding depth to Mediterranean dishes. Paired with fresh cheeses, citrus, or warm flatbreads to bring a burst of bright, briny flavor to any table.
Moiré Cacao’s Verapaz, Guatemala 72%
Moiré Cacao’s Verapaz, Guatemala 72% dark chocolate showcases the rich flavors of Alta Verapaz’s carefully cultivated cacao. With tasting notes of dried fruit, warm spice, and a hint of floral honey, this bar highlights the region’s unique terroir. The carefully selected beans are sourced through direct trade, ensuring both quality and fair partnerships with local farmers. Expertly crafted, the chocolate has a balanced depth that unfolds with each bite, offering a smooth yet complex experience. It’s a true reflection of Moiré Cacao’s dedication to honoring the origins of fine cacao.
