What We’re Eating This Month

We’re here to help you plan for those perfect outside parties, hanging with the inspirational women in your life on Mother’s Day, and reveling in the spring freedom on Memorial Day. Here’s what we’re eating to celebrate!
THE CHEESE
THERE SHOULD BE SONNETS WRITTEN ABOUT HER, FOR SHE IS A GODDESS AMONGST GOATS.

The Lowdown: Taking Spanish goat cheese to a new level, and possibly meeting if not surpassing its French counterparts, Leonora will rock you gently into the wonderful world of barely-aged goats. Never peppery and always decadent, this offers the ultimate balance of tang, acidity, and lush texture. How to eat it: Drink a farmhouse saison, wheat beer, crisp white wines, or sparkling anything with this one. An absolute must in your next omelette, on top of fresh guacamole, or even blended into strawberry ice cream. Wanna go nuts? Get some nuts. Also, honey. the story: Made by a man named Oscar, goat cheese in Spain is the most readily available type. The goat, referred to at times as the poor man’s cow, is able to easily navigate the mountainous terrain of northwestern Spain. The rind is covered in natural bloomy, white molds and creates a pillowy fortress to protect the creamy center.
We’d drape ourselves in Speck if it were socially acceptable. Meet Speck, a smoked and cured prosciutto, rubbed with black pepper and juniper berries, from the Alps in South Tyrol, Italy. Wrap it around scallops and pan sear in rosemary oil, cube it and sauté with onions and peas for pasta, substitute it in place of Pancetta when making Carbonara, or simply ask for it sliced and snack on it with your favorite table cheese.

We bring you Spicy Fava Nuts, Tropical Fruit Mix, Dulce de Leche Crunchy Corn, and the classics. Our all natural snacks are jam-packed with quality, cared for from when they’re harvested to when they grace our shelves.
Alfajores (pronounced ahl-fah-HOH-rehs) are a traditional Argentine pastry made of two shortbreadlike cookies joined with “dulce de leche” literally translated as “milk candy.” Growing up in Argentina and learning hands-on from her grandmother, Andrea Ozzuna of Wooden Table Baking Company brings a taste of milk candy magic to our shelves this month.
Pair with our cheeses, sprinkle on a salad, use in your next baking adventure, or throw back by the handful!
