Item Highlights

Yellow Straightneck Squash

Straightneck squash is a classic variety characterized by its smooth, pale yellow skin and a mild, subtly sweet flavor. Its firm flesh holds up well to grilling, roasting, or sautéing, but it’s tender enough to slice thin and eat raw in salads or slaws. Compared to zucchini, it has a denser bite and a brighter color, making it a great way to mix things up in everyday cooking. Try it in a veggie stir-fry, stuffed and baked, or simply tossed with olive oil and herbs on the grill. It’s an easy, versatile vegetables that works just about anywhere.

Fourme d’Ambert

Fourme d’Ambert is one of France’s oldest blue cheeses, dating back over a thousand years. Made in the Auvergne region, this cow’s milk cheese is known for its cylindrical shape, dense and creamy texture, and well-balanced flavor. Milder than many other blues, it offers a gentle tang with notes of earth, butter, and mushrooms. It’s smooth and spreadable, which makes it perfect for pairing with fruit, honey, or a crisp white wine. Rich in history and deeply flavorful, Fourme d’Ambert remains a timeless favorite among blue cheese lovers.

Capriole Goat Cheese Piper’s Pyramide

Capriole Goat Cheese’s Piper’s Pyramide is a striking, paprika-coated goat cheese that embodies Capriole’s decades-long dedication to artisan cheesemaking. It has a light, cloudlike texture that gets denser and more buttery with age, eventually becoming thick, creamy, and fudgy. Each pyramid is hand-ladled and has flavors of sweet cream, sea salt, a hint of citrus, and, of course, paprika. Try it paired with chorizo or inside a grilled poblano pepper!

Rancho Gordo Pinto Beans

Rancho Gordo is a Napa, California-based heirloom bean company founded in 2001 by Steve Sando with the goal of celebrating and preserving rare and flavorful bean varieties. Their heirloom beans are a pantry staple for good reason; each variety is grown with care, harvested at peak freshness, and miles tastier than anything canned. Soft, creamy, and versatile, Pintos cook quickly and create converts to new crop, heirloom beans. They’re ideal for refried beans, chilies, soups, and casseroles.

Monsoon Blue Corn Atole White Chocolate

Monsoon Chocolate crafts their chocolates in Tucson, Arizona, with a deep respect for the flavors and ingredients of the Southwest. Their Blue Corn Atole White Chocolate is inspired by the traditional corn and masa-based beverage, Atole, of Mesoamerican origin. Atole is made by blending toasted corn with water or milk, unrefined cane sugar, vanilla, and optional spices, fruits, or chocolate. Blended with creamy white chocolate, the heirloom blue corn has subtle floral qualities. It’s smooth, slightly earthy, and unlike any white chocolate you’ve had before.
