Item Highlights
White Turnips
The origin of the turnip (Brassica rapa var. rapa) is a bit of a mystery. It likely once grew wild across Europe and Asia, and it was an important agricultural crop by the time of the Romans. Turnips should be crisp and blemish-free, if the tops are still attached, the greens should be bright and fresh. Their small stature makes them the perfect garnish for tray passed hors d’oeurves. The roots can be tossed into salads, floated atop pureed soups, folded into chilled grain dishes, or rolled in spring rolls.
Idiazabal
The milk of Latxa and Carrazana sheep is used to make Idiazábal, a Basque D.O. or Denominación de Origen cheese. Similar to its Spanish cousin Manchego, it has a buttery, nutty profile, but Idiazábal is lightly smoked, giving it a particular depth of flavor and smoky essence. This sheep’s milk cheese is both gamy and snackable, and should be paired with rich, savory Spanish meats like Jamon Serrano or Mild Chorizo.
Rey Silo Azul Mama Marisa
This is a new and different Spanish blue cheese, matured for six months in an underground cellar on the banks of the Nalón River in Asturias. Raw cow’s milk curds are cut by hand with blue green Penicillium roqueforti, salted, kneaded, and molded for aging. MAMÁ MARISA (Azul) is born from there: creamy, unctuous, floral, fruity, aromatic, and certainly blue. Pair with crusty bread & a fruity wine.
Fishwife Smoked Salmon w/ Sichuan Chili Crisp
Fly By Jing is one of the first premium Chinese food company that brings thoughtfully crafted pantry staples to the modern kitchen. Developed by Jing Gao, a chef, entrepreneur and renowned expert on Chinese cuisine, the Los Angeles-based company is on a mission to bring uncensored Chinese flavors to the table. One of their most prolific creations, the smoked salmon in chili crisp, has taken the tin fish world by storm! Eat with crusty bread, fresh onion, herbs, and lemon.
Madhu Saffron Milk Chocolate 45%
Madhu Chocolate is a company born out of a passion for combining traditional Indian flavors with the richness of chocolate. From their humble beginnings in our home kitchen in Austin, TX, they set out to create the highest quality bean-to-bar product. We source our cacao from the Tumaco region of Colombia, then meticulously roast, crack, winnow, grind, flavor, temper, and wrap all our bars by hand. Drawing inspiration from traditional Indian beverages, Madhu thought saffron would make the perfect addition to a milk chocolate bar. And guess what: they were right! The combination of floral saffron and milk chocolate give this bar a refreshing, incredible honey-like quality.
