Item Highlights
Sweet Dumpling Squash
Sweet Dumpling Squash is a petite, delicately flavored variety that brings both beauty and versatility to your table. With its cream-colored skin striped in vibrant green, this squash is as visually appealing as it is delicious. Its sweet, nutty flavor and smooth, tender flesh make it a favorite for roasting, stuffing, or pureeing into soups. Despite its small size, it delivers a big impact in both taste and presentation.
This squash’s natural sweetness pairs wonderfully with warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg or savory fillings like grains, herbs, and cheese. Packed with vitamins A and C, along with fiber and antioxidants, it’s a nutritious addition to your fall and winter meals. Sweet Dumpling Squash is a seasonal gem, perfect for cozy dinners or festive gatherings.
Manchego Semi Curado
Manchego Semi Curado is a beloved Spanish cheese made from the milk of Manchega sheep raised in the central region of La Mancha. Aged for around three months, this younger version of Manchego retains a creamy texture and a milder flavor compared to its more aged counterparts. Its distinctive herringbone rind and ivory-colored paste are hallmarks of its traditional craftsmanship, protected by its Denomination of Origin status.
The flavor is buttery and slightly tangy, with subtle grassy and nutty undertones that reflect the sheep’s milk and the region’s unique terroir. Perfect for snacking or pairing with crusty bread and quince paste, Manchego Semi Curado also complements lighter wines like Verdejo or Albariño. Its approachable flavor and smooth texture make it a versatile crowd-pleaser.
O’Banon
Capriole, a family-owned farm in southern Indiana, has been producing exceptional goat cheeses for over 30 years, emphasizing sustainable farming practices and artisanal craftsmanship. Their O’Banon cheese is a standout, crafted from the milk of their small herd of goats. This soft-ripened cheese is wrapped in aromatic, bourbon-soaked chestnut leaves, which infuse it with a delicate herbal flavor, while the creamy interior offers a smooth, tangy richness.
The combination of the chestnut leaves and the rich, tangy goat milk creates a uniquely complex flavor profile that is both earthy and fresh. Whether served on crackers, paired with fresh fruits, or crumbled over a salad, O’Banon adds a burst of character to any dish. Its creamy texture and distinctive flavor make it an unforgettable cheese to enjoy at any time.
Bee Grateful Lavender Honey Caramels
Bee Grateful Farm’s Lavender Honey Caramel is a delightful confection that blends the farm’s own lavender-infused honey with creamy caramel to create a truly indulgent treat. Produced in small batches by this family-run farm, each caramel reflects their dedication to sustainable beekeeping and a love for natural, high-quality ingredients. The farm’s lavender honey adds a delicate floral note, perfectly complementing the rich, buttery caramel.
Soft and luxurious with a subtle sweetness, these caramels make a perfect pairing with tea, a thoughtful gift, or simply a moment of indulgence for yourself. The balance of aromatic lavender and golden honey makes each bite a uniquely satisfying experience, showcasing the artistry and care of Bee Grateful Farm.
