Item Highlights

Sweet 100 Cherry Tomatoes

The Sweet 100 Cherry Tomato is a hybrid tomato with long fruit-bearing stems and can produce 100 or more super sweet cherry tomatoes. These tiny tomatoes are an excellent source of vitamins A and C & antioxidants. Sweet 100s are ideal for snacking right off the vine, adding fresh bursts of flavor to salads, or roasting for a rich, caramelized side dish. Toss them in pasta, layer them on bruschetta, or mix them into a summer salsa for a refreshing twist. Pairing these tomatoes with creamy cheeses like fresh mozzarella or goat cheese elevates their flavor even further.

Central Coast Creamery Goat Gouda

Central Coast Creamery Goat Gouda variation of the traditional Dutch gouda, made from pure goat’s milk, crafted in California’s Central Coast. It offers a unique take on gouda by blending its signature creamy, nutty flavor with the distinct tanginess of goat cheese. Aged for several months, this goat gouda has a firm texture with a smooth, slightly caramel-like flavor. The aging process mellows the goat milk’s tang, creating a balanced taste that’s both rich and mild. Goat gouda shines with fruits like crisp apples, sweet pears, and figs. Its grassy undertones also complement a variety of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts. Try shaving it over salads, or simply with crackers or fresh bread. Ideally enjoyed with a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or a fruity red like Pinot Noir.

Moliterno al Tartufo

Moliterno al Tartufo is an Italian cheese that combines the bold, savory flavor of pecorino with the high quality black truffles. Hailing from the island of Sardinia, this cheese is hand-crafted using traditional techniques, then aged for several months to develop its deep, complex flavor. Moliterno al Tartufo has a rich, nutty base from the aged sheep’s milk, with the distinctive umami of truffles enhancing every bite. The firm texture gives way to a smooth, creamy finish, along with the truffle’s earthy aroma. This decadent cheese pairs beautifully with bold red wines like Barolo or Chianti. Serve it alongside honey, figs, & prosciutto or incorporate perfectly into pastas or risottos.

Pacific Pickle Works Asparagusto

Asparagusto is a delightful and unique twist on traditional pickles, featuring crisp, tangy pickled asparagus spears. Made in Santa Barbara, California, this award-winning product is crafted with fresh, locally sourced asparagus and a flavorful blend of vinegar, garlic, and spices. Asparagusto is not only great for snacking but also a versatile addition to many dishes. Use it to garnish a Bloody Mary, add it to a charcuterie board, or chop it up for a tangy addition to salads and sandwiches. It’s also a fantastic side for burgers, grilled meats, or cheese platters, adding a perfect pop of flavor.
