A MONTHLY GUIDE TO YOUR NEXT FOOD ADVENTURE!
VOLUME 6 - JUNE 2015
Cheers to The Great (Delicious) Outdoors! Deck parties. Snacks to pack for a day out on the trails. Barbecuing on Father’s Day with spicy pickles, mustards, meats, and summer cocktails. Plus, we’ve got cheeses straight in from California for a little extra sunshine in your life. Cheers to the great, delicious outdoors, and all that we get from this incredible land.
THE CHEESE
CALIFORNIA DREAMIN’ ABOUT BLONDIE’S BEST. Pedrozo Dairy’s made-to-order cheese is named after the cow that helped create their first wheel. This organic, raw milk, Californian charmer is mild, slightly sweet, and tangy. Perfect for pairing, especially with Blake Hill’s Orange & Bourbon Whiskey Marmalade, or for a decadent twist, try with our Noci Bella Walnut and Chocolate-Dipped Terrazzo. (see The Culinary Discovery below)
THE MEAT
IBERICO BACON. YES, IT’S TRUE. Go ahead and take one. This is BACON made from the some of the happiest, acorn-fed pigs on the Iberian Peninsula, and so delicious. This juicy treat will absolutely dissolve in your mouth, leaving you feeling like you’re on a Spanish yacht wearing a silken cape and a velvet swimsuit. Decadence incarnate! Find me in the Charcuterie case, sliced and ready to sizzle.
THE CULINARY DISCOVERY
THE LOCAL LOVE
NOCI BELLA — A WALNUT WALKS INTO A BAR AND THEN INTO YOUR MOUTH
SOOM DIPS — MADE BY THREE SISTERS WITH SERIOUS SESAME STREET CRED
Created by a guy who is seriously passionate about walnuts, these bars are made with a little chocolate, honey, maple syrup, sea salt, and a whole lotta good-for-you California walnuts. Pair with any cheese on a beautiful, summer day!
Sourcing the highest quality, single origin, sesame seeds, the Soom sisters recently introduced this ancient superfood onto the Philly food scene. Plunge a spoon in their Original Sesame, Zesty Mediterranean, Red Curry, and Sriracha Sesame Dips. Eat as-is or with some cheese and a slice of bacon or charcuterie.

DI BRUNO BROS. ABBRUZZE CHEESE SPREAD
Here is the story of you, your dad, and our new Spicy Basket. You say, “Dad, I got you a spicy basket. Happy Father’s Day.” He lifts the crate lid and pulls out joy after spicy joy. First is the Abbruzze Cheese Spread, a Di Bruno family recipe that’ll put (more) hair on his chest. Chips, sandwiches, and mac & cheese just got a whole lot more interesting now that this zesty cheese spread is in their future. Next up is ‘Nduja meat spread. “Meat spread?” he asks, awed by the spreadable meat possibilities. You nod and smile. A single tear rolls down your dad’s cheek. Then come the pickles. Brookyn Brine’s Damn Spicy Pickles. Yep. He twists off the top with a POP, reaches in to remove a slice, and takes his first spicy bite. You help yourself to one, too. A moment of spicy, pickle magic is shared. Father’s Day is a success. Ya did good, kid.
SNACK ATTACK #3
Blondie’s Best with honey drizzle, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and our Turkish Apricots
Grab a crostini, spread on some meat, dip an end in the Abbruzze spread, cut a layer of Sriracha cheddar, and add a dash of spicy pepper sauce. Wash it all down with some Damn Spicy pickle juice. Enter manhood.
