EPICURE ANNUAL CATALOGUE . 1
Damir Drezga, founder of Epicure Foods, immigrated from Croatia to Germany after World War II to seek new work. After hearing of the vast opportunities America had to offer, Damir left Germany to cross the Atlantic and pursue the American Dream.
With a small loan of $500, Damir was able to purchase his first pallet of Gouda cheese from the Netherlands, thus marking the beginning of Epicure Foods. Since then, the Drezga family has been able to build the successful Import and Distribution business that it is today.
After working various small jobs, Damir began working for diverse importers across Manhattan. Once he learned the ins and outs of the trade, he started to realize his potential to expand into the importing industry.
EPICURE ANNUAL CATALOGUE . 2
After the passing of Damir, his children, Stephen and Jennifer Drezga took reins of the company and continued their fathers legacy. Shortly after in October 2012, Hurricane Sandy devastated the company resulting in destruction of the warehouse and offices.
S I N C E 1971 Determined to not let their fathers hard labor go to waste, Stephen, Jennifer and the rest of the Epicure team were able to successfully rebuild the company and resume business, despite the challenges they faced along the way.
Fast forward to 2021, Epicure Foods is celebrating its 50th year Anniversary! The company has grown from importing their first pallet of Gouda cheese from the Netherlands to importing quality cheese, charcuterie and various gourmet products from across the globe.
In March 2019, after residing in Elizabeth, New Jersey for almost 36 years, Epicure expanded to a new and updated facility in Flanders, New Jersey.

Rich, Creamy Feta
Fetalia Feta
The first Feta to be crafted on the island of Sardinia Typically when we think Feta we think of Greece. Unlike the many Feta’s before, Fetalia is solely crafted on the island of Sardinia - a pristine, reclusive island in the Mediterranean off the coast of Italy. Known for its mountainous regions and coastal shores, Sardinia is also home to the Sarda Sheep which is used exclusively to craft our Fetalia Feta. The Sarda Sheep breed is indigenous to the island of Sardinia and is best known for providing milk to create Pecorino Sardo. Sarda Sheep are high-milk yielding animals and are considered to be among the best Italian breeds of sheep for production of sheep’s milk. The breed provides cheesemakers with rich, fat-laced cheese. Our Fetalia Feta is a brined, sheep's milk curd cheese that's bright white in color with a semi-soft, crumbly texture. On the palate, it is slightly salty with a rich, creamy mouthfeel that leaves your taste buds tingling. As it ages, the flavor becomes more distinct with a sharper, saltier taste.
IT-770 Retail • 12x7oz IT-771 Bulk • 2x4.41lb An incredible combination of tang with a hint of creamy yet slightly salty taste. Fetalia Feta adds an additional depth of flavor and texture to an array of dishes. Perfect for crumbling on top of salads, pizza, flatbreads and grilled vegetables or for pairing with a variety of fruits. www.fetaliafeta.com

LA FROMAGERIE GERMAIN
T
100 YEARS OF HISTORY
he Germain cheese dairy has a rich history with its creation over a century ago. In 1921, accompanied by his wife, Henri Germain moved to Chalancey in the Haute-Marne department of north-eastern France, where he created his very own cheese dairy. With the knowledge and experience he had gained form his family’s cheese dairy, he began producing soft cheeses. In the 1960s, Henri passed away and the Germain dairy was taken over by his son, Pierre Germain. To develop the business, he deciced to embark on the first attempts at Langres and Époisses cheeses, named after the communes of Eppoises and Langres in northeastern France. AOC, which refers to the regulations established in France to EPICURE ANNUAL CATALOGUE . 22
define quality standards for cheese, is eventually obtained for both Langres and Époisses and they become the spearheads of Fromagerie Germain. In 2015 the decision was made to build a new cheese dairy in Vauxsous-Aubigny a few steps from the original one located in Chalancey. Entrepreneurship, respect for traditions and commitment to quality have been the watchwords for almost 100 years for Fromagerie Germain. In Chalancey, a few kilometers away, cheese know-how remains. Today, Germain produces their range of specialty cheeses out of their Vauxsous-Aubigny dairy and distribute their cheese worldwide as well as in their storefront.

THE TERROIR
The tradition of 3 French regions, with strong cultural heritage, can be found in Germain cheeses.
Loire Valley The Loire Valley is noteworthy for the quality of its architectural heritage, in its historic towns such as Blois, Chinon, Orléans, Saumur and Tours, but in particular in its worldfamous castles, such as the Château de Chambord.
Périgord Perigord is a rich, widely diverse, historic and cultural heritage. It is also an area for gourmet products such as foie gras and truffles, as well as Germain Le Pico cheese, symbolizing French gastronomy.
Champagne The heritage of the Champagne region lies in a wealth of architecture and religious symbolism, as well as gastronomy. The emblem of this region is none other than the much-vaunted sparkling wine. Germain Langres AOP and Le Triple Creme cheese embody this terroir and tradition.
Burgundy The Burgundy region is renowned for its terroir and authenticity. It is from this multi-faceted terror that the inspiration for Epoisses AOP and L'Affiné au Chablis is drawn.
We refine our Epoisses AOP for at least 4 weeks. We rub them, one by one, with Marc de Bourgogne. The rubbings make it possible to implant and balance the different ripening flora. Our Epoisses indeed derive their flavor and color from the ideal balance of 2 flora: Geotrichum and ferments of red. The first gives the creamy character and the floral note to our Epoisses, the second the coloring, the character an d the typical taste. In our cheese dairy, we attach great importance to this living balance and we adapt our care to the needs of our cheeses. The Langres owes its hollow shape to its refining process during which it is never turned over, thus causing the formation of a well. Tradition has it that we pour a few drops of Champagne into it in order to make it burn, and thus reveal sweet notes.

Located in the Western part of France, this region is rich in green pastures thanks to a climate that allows for rain over 200 days per year. Normandy has an ancient tradition of raising dairy cows. Since the Middle Ages, proud breeds like “Vache Normande” have been producing milk used in the making of some of the most renowned AOC cheeses of France, especially washed-rind varieties and of course, Camembert.
Camembert Le Châtelain is an excellent example of this cheese, with a recipe that is true to the original. It is succulent, ripe, rich, and creamy. Only gently pasteurized at moderate temperatures, Camembert Le Châtelain retains most of the authentic flavors and qualities of the raw-milk cheese you can buy only in France. Excellent served with light reds from the

DISCOVERING
FROMAGERIE HENRI HUTIN From humble, farm origins, Henri Hutin has evolved into a renowned cheese production company known for its uncompromising quality and dedication to become the first French Cheese manufacturer to be certified VLOG non-GMO in Europe.
1922 1964
Born to farmer parents in 1900 in the North of Meuse department in France, Henri Hutin founded a craft soft-ripened cheese plant in Lacroix-sur Meuse in 1922. His recipes, know-how and rigor quickly earned him a reputation for excellence in the region as well as across France, and the title of “Master Cheese Maker.”
In 1960, Henri Hutin introduced Belletoile, the first triple crème ever exported to the USA. During this time, the company began to increase its turnover significantly by expanding its exports to the countries of the European Community as well as across the world. Henri Hutins’ efforts were rewarded with an “Export Oscar” in 1964.
EPICURE ANNUAL CATALOGUE . 34
1978 2018
In December of 1978, Hochland, the German cheese making group purchased the company from Mr. Hutin. After purchasing the facility, Hochland transferred the company to Dieue-sur Meuse and established a modernized and enlarged cheese plant with a brand new state-of-theart facility.
Today, Henri Hutin strives for innovation, creativity and ensuring the top quality of their wide range of cheeses. The facility has grown to employ more than 350 workers and processes over 110 million liters of milk a year.
As of January 2018, Henri Hutin became the first French cheese manufacturer to be certified VLOG non-GMO. The VLOG non-GMO certification ensures products produced by Henri Hutin are guaranteed non-GMO. In 2018, the company was able to fully remove all GMO feed for cows as well as all GMO milk and cream from their soft-ripened cheeses. In addition to the VLOG nonGMO certification, Henri Hutin has also received their 14001 certification, an international
standard that specifies requirements for an effective environmental management system (EMS). Waste water that is generated by production is treated at their own treatment station in order to preserve the environment surrounding the facility. The waste is then sorted and shipped to subsidaries specialized in environmentally friendly waste processing.

Better than Brie
What makes Belletoile triple crème brie different from other soft-ripened cheeses like traditional brie and camembert is the addition of extra cream before the production process. While other soft cheeses add some cream in the pre-production process, triple créme brie adds an extra amount of cream which gives Belletoile its wonderful, creamy and mellow mouthfeel. Henri Hutin and his family began making artisanal cheese on their farm in the North of Meuse, France, in the early 1900s. After the war in 1922, Henri expanded the family business into a fromagerie in Lacroix-Sur-Meuse and established himself across the region as a “Master Cheese Maker”. Their signature product, Belletoile, was first produced in 1960 and quickly rose to acclaim in the world community by being the first triple crème brie exported to the United States of America. belletoile.us
Because of the rind that protects the cheese while it ripens, Belletoile can be enjoyed for weeks after opening as it softens and ages. Our secret recipe includes living cheese cultures, so you will notice different flavor profiles as the cheese matures, starting out fresh and mild but turning more creamy and aromatic in taste as the cheese continues to age.

Washed rind cheeses are bathed or washed with a brine, a mixture of salt and water, or with other liquids such as beer or wine too. Brining the cheese encourages the growth of bacteria, Brevibacterium linens, on the surface which gives it an orangey-pink color that is slightly sticky and darkens with age.

B BLUE
Blue cheese is classified as any cheese with marbled veins of blue or blue-green mold. In todays blue cheese making, Penicillium roqueforti mold is added to the cheese production. To ensure even distribution of mold throughout the cheese, oxygen is inserted through the surface of the cheese by thin needles or skewers. Over time, the blue mold matures in the air tunnels which forms the distinctive marbled blue look. Due to its unique nature, blue cheese has a pungent, salty and tangy flavor that distinguishes it from other cheeses.

Family business for 3 generations, Livradois company continues the traditional dairy and farm production of many Auvergne cheeses based on milk quality, unchanged manufacturing processes and exceptional ripening conditions.
Société Fromagère du Livradois is an integral part of the Monts du Livradois holding, belonging to the third generation of the Thuaire family and managed by the two Didier and Philippe Thuaire brothers. It was created in 1949, in Fournols, by their grandfather Léon.

all guarantors of an impeccable milk quality. Today, the company processes 65 million liters /17 million gallons of milk per year and employs 240 people. A great development for this family cheese dairy! The name “Société Fromagère du Livradois” is inspired by the region where the cheese factory is established: the Livradois-Forez Regional Natural Park, in the heart of the Massif Central. It is said that the word “Livradois” comes from the Latin “Liberatus ab acquis” which means “saved from the waters”. Indeed, a long time ago, lands would have been submerged in water before the Auvergne volcanoes appeared.

PRÉSIDENT SOCIÉTÉ ROQUEFORT From a secular tradition, Roquefort is the first French A.O.C. cheese. It is made exclusively from sheep’s milk, stored in naturally-formed cellars where it is left to mature for at least three months. Under the vigilant supervision of the Master Cheese Maker, it develops its marvelous aromas and taste. In 1925, Roquefort was the first cheese to be given the AOP distinction, which later became AOC and in 1996 was given the European distinction P.D.O. (Protected Designation of Origin). These labels guarantee the cheese’s particular characteristics, the result of its unique, clearly defined region and traditional methods of production passed on from generation to generation. Since 1863, Société has respected and upheld this tradition. Known as the “King of the cheeses”, the reputation of the Société Roquefort has extended far beyond the French borders and is now present in 80 countries.

HALLOUMI Crafted from cow, goat and sheep’s milk, Kynthos Halloumi offers a creamy and tangy taste with every bite.
If you can’t get to Cyprus soon, grab a warm bite of Kynthos Halloumi and close your eyes while imagining the beautiful beaches of Cyprus to help cure any cold weather blues. This cheese’s squeaks alone may induce smiles. Halloumi is a fresh, un-ripened frying cheese similar to a milky and light mozzarella - if it were much firmer and slightly saltier. Halloumi is a fresh, un-ripened frying cheese similar to a clean, light and lactic tasting mozzarella if it were much firmer and slightly saltier. Halloumi has been increasingly eaten all over the world since its creation in what is now known as the Middle Eastern island country of Cyprus back during the Medieval Byzantine period which started in 395 AD. Halloumi is widely recognized throughout the Mediterranean as the crowning cheese jewel of Cyprus cuisine as well as in neighboring Turkey and Greece. It is typically produced with different mixes of milk types, but thankfully, Kynthos makes it simple to choose theirs by including a killer combination of cow, sheep, and goat milk. The result is a subtly complex taste well suited to stand on its own as equally well as it does when paired with other ingredients.
Halloumi is a great blank slate of sorts to create endless, easy dishes all year-round. It can be grated, fried, grilled, baked, sautéed or simply eaten raw (with watermelon for a real treat!). Add any sauce to suit your mood and some simple ingredients to make a one-pan-wonder. Layer between slices of bread or skewered on kabobs for easy and enjoyable quick meals.

Genuine Craftsmanship With Tradition “Käserei Champignon is a family-owned company that has made the finest specialty cheeses for over 100 years. The first cheese produced was a Camembert which had an earthy, mushroomy flavor, which became the inspiration for the Champignon name. Over the years, more cheeses were crafted and perfected and the company expanded production to include soft-ripened cheeses, washed-rind cheeses, blue cheeses, and, recently, ROUGETTE Bon·fire Grilling Cheeses. Today, we bring our specialty cheeses to people around the world, yet we are still family-owned and deeply rooted in the Allgäu region in southern Germany. We maintain production in Bavaria and continue to source our milk from the local farms that have been supplying Käserei Champignon for generations.”

Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin You can't think of Wisconsin without thinking of cheese! Wisconsin dairy farmers have been making cheese for over 175 years. Combining art and science in a tradition so rich you can taste it. In 1983, Wisconsin dairy farmers voted to establish a milk marketing order. For every 100 pounds of milk produced and marketed in the state, 10 cents goes to Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin to promote Wisconsin-produced dairy products. An additional five cents goes to the National Dairy Promotion & Research Board for generic dairy promotion activities at the national level. Dairy Farmer's of Wisconsin's primary mission is to "Grow demand for Wisconsin milk." Key Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin roles within Wisconsin’s dairy industry include: establishing new markets, funding dairyrelated research, educating consumers about the quality and nutritional importance of Wisconsin milk and dairy products, and showcasing the important economic contribution that dairy makes to their communities and their state. Today, the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board, Inc., dba Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin, is a non-profit organization funded entirely by Wisconsin's dairy farm families. The organization has been created to increase the sale and consumption of Wisconsin milk and dairy products.

Maple Leaf Cheese Back in 1910, a group of local family farms looked to establish a consistent, trustworthy market for their rBST-free milk and Maple Leaf Cheese Co-op was born. Fast forward to the present, Maple Leaf is still locally farmer-owned and recently celebrated 100 years in the cheesemaking business. Cheeses at Maple Leaf reflect the pride and care exhibited by small family farms that utilize quality milk to make handcrafted cheeses. Prior to 1850, nearly all cheese produced in the United States was cheddar. Cheddar production in Wisconsin began in the mid-1800s and by 1880, more cheddar was produced in Wisconsin than any other cheese variety. Today it accounts for a large percentage of the cheese made in the state, making Wisconsin the leader in U.S. cheddar production. Usually golden but also available in white, cheddar has a rich, nutty flavor that becomes increasingly sharp with age, and a smooth, firm texture that becomes more granular and crumbly with age.

Deer Creek Cheese strives to bring the very best and most consistent cheeses to the marketplace by hand selecting outstanding specialty vats, as well as working with some of the very best cheesemakers in Wisconsin to develop and handcraft superb unique originals. As cheese ages, nuances in body, texture, and flavor develop and change over time. Deer Creek’s team of Wisconsin licensed cheese graders work closely to hand select vats that have retained the taste, texture, and quality of a highly revered Cheddar, even after years of aging.
Cady Creek Farms From the Cheese Curd Capital of Wisconsin, Ellsworth Cooperative Creamery Natural White Cheddar Cheese Curds taste like no other because they are crafted with only rBST free milk from our 450 family farms throughout Wisconsin and Minnesota. Their unique packaging process produces the freshest tasting Wisconsin cheese curds, tested to have a shelf life that exceeds 6 months when kept refrigerated and unopened. The oxygen is taken out of the bags – yet the cheese remains loosely packaged. The longer the cheese remains inside the sealed/unopened package the more enriched the flavor becomes. The health-conscious consumer will appreciate they are crafted using the highest quality farm certified rBST free milk. They are also high in calcium and protein, contain no added sugars, no carbs, zero trans fats, and are gluten-free.
Burnett Dairy Cooperative has its roots in the Branstad and Wood River creameries located in northwest Wisconsin, which boast a long tradition of serving dairy producers. The Branstad Creamery was the third creamery in Burnett County and started operations in May 1897. The Wood River Creamery (originally called Wood Lake Creamery) was started in June 1896. Today Burnett Dairy Cooperative still uses the Fancy® brand created by Wood River Creamery.

H HARD
Hard cheeses are dense, savory and firm. Similar to semi-hard cheese, after being pressed to remove moisture, hard cheese will either be brined or coated in wax. Hard cheeses can be aged anywhere between 2 to 36 months. Due to its longer aging process and lack of moisture, hard cheese is the firmest in comparison to other cheese. In texture, aged hard cheeses are grainy and crumble easily.

t the heart of the Haut Jura Nature Park, 1150 m above sea level, the Fort des Rousses accommodates over 100,000 rounds of Comté cheese in exceptional maturing conditions. The Fort des Rousses, France’s second-largest fortress, was converted into maturing cellars in 1997. With more than 50,000 meters of vaulted rooms, miles of underground tunnels and a large inner courtyard, the Fort was designed to accommodate 3,500 soldiers and is now an exceptionally impressive monument.
E
ach wheel of Comté cheese are carefully aged and inspected by master cheesemakers to create beautiful, bold flavors of tropical fruits, nuts and cooked cream in this one-of-a-kind Comté. During the prematuring phase, Comté cheese is only salty on the surface. As it dissolves, the salt deposited on the surface draws water out from the body of the cheese and is what determines the surface microflora. The cheese is rubbed three times a week. Thus forms the crust, a real protective shell rich in surface microflora. During the maturing process, the rounds of cheese are monitored individually and transferred to 3 or 4 different cellars with special air conditions that bring out the best flavors.

SARTORI FAMILY CREST Our family crest nods to the people, places and experiences that define us. The ship icon refers to The Finlandia, the steamer that carried our founder Paolo Sartori to America, where he would later achieve his own American Dream, starting in 1939 when he started the company. The cows are an acknowledgement of our farm-tofork ethos and of the special relationships we have with our family farmers, many of whom have supplied us milk for several generations. We also have an image of the state of Wisconsin, not just because it is the source of the finest cheese anywhere, but because it is our home that has shaped us as much as anything else.
Finally, our crest is topped by a crown – which represents our aspiration to make the best cheese in the world – to which we just added a 4th star since the latest generation of the Sartori family just recently joined the business.

Bellentani Salumi Salami actually predates ancient Roman times, it was the ideal way for people to save meat and make it last when times were tough. The Italian terrain, studded with mountains that had cool, dry, highaltitude climates, served as the perfect long term storage space for meats. The salami could dry out for extended periods of time without rotting. Bellentani Salami are made in a near identical climate in the Pocono Mountains in New York, so there is no need for them to artificially create the aging conditions. Beyond that they believe in making a real product, one that is handmade with quality ingredients and no artificial additives or coloring. All of the Salami are made with locally sourced pork. It is made with a combination of pork meat and fat (only the highest quality fat) that is then minced and mixed in to meat mixture. The pork fat shows up in the final salami as the white pieces dotted throughout. Having the correct meat to fat ratio is crucial in making a good salami, but all of Bellentani Salami are leaner and better for you. Each Bellentani Salami is mixed with spices and stuffed in to a casing. At the end of the process they are delicately hand-rolled in spices.

A committed approach which results in a rigorous selection of partners, a guarantee of high quality products, healthier and more natural, while preserving their unique flavors.
PASSION FOR QUALITY & TASTE
M
aison Delpeyrat is always on a quest for product quality and excellence. The story begins with the fine selection of whole fresh hams by their salt makers, thanks to strict and rigorous control.
Bayonne Ham 4 strong commitments Always in a quest for quality and excellence, Maison Delpeyrat and its Petites Salaisons are the fruit of the work of a unique sector bringing together 30 breeders involved in quality production and gathered around 4 strong commitments; Sustainable Pork, A Well-Being Pig, Healthy Pork, A Well Fed Pig.
It is by hand that each ham is then salted, entirely, with Salies-deBéarn salt. A source salt naturally present in the Pyrenees for millions of years and recognized its incomparable taste qualities. Thanks to the salt, the hams are prepared without preservatives, respecting the traditional Bayonne Ham process. Salt preserves the tenderness of the meat and guarantees its distinct characteristics (texture, taste, color). The hams are then placed in dryers to begin a long maturation which will reveal all their aromas. After these few weeks of drying allowing the water to evaporate and the salt to penetrate, our hams are wrapped in purlins to go to the final stage: ripening. It is during this key stage that all the intrinsic qualities of the hams that make it famous are developed. Fruity notes combined with the smoothness and finesse of each slice that will delight your taste buds. Bayonne hams are aged between 9 and 12 months, under the expert eye of master refiners, to give them time to develop.
