Item Highlights
Sweet Baby Broccoli
Baby broccoli, that combines the qualities of regular broccoli and Chinese broccoli (gai lan). Baby broccoli has a milder, sweeter taste compared to its more mature counterpart, making it a versatile ingredient in various dishes. Nutritionally, baby broccoli is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as dietary fiber and antioxidants, contributing to overall health and wellness. It’s low in calories yet packed with nutrients, making it an excellent choice for those looking to eat healthily. Baby broccoli is often steamed, sautéed, or roasted to bring out its natural sweetness. It can be enjoyed as a side dish, added to stir-fries, or tossed into salads Its delicate flavor pairs well with both savory and tangy ingredients, such as garlic, lemon, and soy sauce.
Fulvi Pecorino Romano
This ancient cheese is made from 100% sheep’s milk collected in the countryside of Rome and produced in Nepi, 15 miles north of the city. Aged 10 months to 1 year and coated in black wax per tradition, Fulvi is in a class by itself. What separates Fulvi from other Pecorino Romanos is the higher butterfat content of the whole sheep’s milk from Lazio, making it less dry and hard than those made in Sardinia. The 65-pound wheels are made using ancient traditions and aged naturally in cellars. It’s perfect grated into a bowl of cacio e pepe, or simply sliced thin and served alongside Prosciutto di Parma for the perfect savory bite.
Pasamontes Queso Romero
Romero is made with sheep’s milk and cured with Manchego rosemary leaves for at least six months. It offers an irresistible flavor with a rosemary aroma that makes it unique and original. The rosemary is collected in the mountains of La Mancha, which gives it an unbeatable class and distinction. Pair with fresh figs, pears, and a Spanish red.
Olive Truck Picual EVOO
An exceptional extra virgin olive oil produced from 100% Picual olives, a variety known for its robust and distinctive flavor profile. The Picual olive is one of the most popular varieties in Spain, particularly in the Andalusian region, where it thrives in the warm Mediterranean climate. Olive Truck, a brand dedicated to bringing the finest olive oils to market, emphasizes quality and freshness in their Picual EVOO, resulting in an oil that is both flavorful and versatile. Its robust flavor profile makes it ideal for drizzling over salads, grilled vegetables, or hearty dishes where the olive oil’s intensity can shine through.
Orinoco Piaroa 60% Dark Chocolate
The Orinoco River has historically served as the only means of communication and transportation of goods for the indigenous inhabitants of the Venezuelan interior, connecting Venezuela with South America. Made with exquisite Piaroa cocoa beans, harvested by indigenous people along the Orinoco River. This vegan, paleo, and dairy-free bar boasts subtle notes of dried blueberries and the sweetness of maple sugar. This bar is 60% cacao, a great option for milk chocolate lovers thanks to the sweetness of the maple.
