Item Highlights

Oyster Mushroom

This multi-use mushroom grows wild in many temperate to subtropical forests. It was first grown for commercial used in Germany during World War I as a subsistence measure. They are traditionally used in Slavic, Polish, and Slovak cuisine in a similar way as meat for stews, and also breaded like a cutlet. Their flavor is delicate, mild, and savory. Oyster mushrooms soak up any flavor they’re put in contact with – but make sure you don’t soak them in water to clean or they’ll get soggy. Due to their versatility Oyster Mushrooms can be sauteed, braised, roasted, fried, and grilled. As mentioned above, they make a great meat substitute in your favorite vegetarian/vegan recipes.

 

Parmigiano Reggiano

Hailing from the oldest Parmigiano Reggiano dairy in Parma, Valserena, and one of only four members of the Consorzio di Sola Bruna (Brown Cow Consortium), this parm is truly king. Valserena is a 5th generation farmstead producer, meaning they grow the feed, raise the animals, and make these cheese on site. This parm is made from the milk of Brown Cows (Bruna Alpina), which is sweeter with a delicate complexity. This cheese is perfect in a risotto or grated over fresh pasta. Valserena Parmigiano Reggiano is regulary available in store.

Challerhocker Swiss

This approachable, meltable raw cow’s milk Alpine cheese is not one to miss. Created under the care of cheesemaker Walter Räss and cellar-aged for ten months, Challerhocker has notes of toasted almond, onion, and butter scotch. Put this umami-bomb in fondues, on grilled cheese and hamburgers, or even melt over a hearty french onion soup. Pair with Old World Cabernets, Dry Riesling, or Tequila Reposada for a more unique approach.

Matcha Green Tea Soba Noodles

These noodles were made with centuries-old techniques handed down through generations. Soba is known to have a unique nodogoshi or “throat feel” due to its gluten-y chew and texture. These special noodles are made with premium green tea that adds a fresh earthy flavor. Serve hot or cold, in a dashi broth or dipped into kaeshi, a soy and mirin sauce.

Blanxart 60% Dark Chocolate

It was in April of 1954 when the master chocolatier, Francesc Agrás, embarked on a long journey through the best patisseries and confectioneries in Europe. His passion for excellence in artisan confectionery was the seed that led to the founding of one of the most renowned Catalan chocolate factories: Bombons Blanxart. This evolved into one of the best artisanal chocolate companies whilst still maintaining single-origin bean to bar chocolate.
