Epicure Foods | Premium Catalog

Epicure’s founder, Damir Drezga, grew up during World War II in communist Yugoslavia. After his father’s passing when he was just 9 years old, Damir had no choice than to take the role as head of household. Despite his family’s poverty and the hardships of World War II, Damir took care of his mother and younger brother.

After completing school, Damir traveled to Germany for better employment to make money for his family. He survived by selling rugs on street corners, and sent most of the money he made back home. Eventually, he was loaned money from a local convent for oneway ticket to the United States.

Upon arriving to America, he worked for a New York City food importer, where he learned the ins-andouts of the industry. A year later in 1971, he purchased his first pallet of Gouda from the Netherlands, thus marking the beginning of Epicure Foods!

50 years later, Epicure Foods has grown from importing that first pallet of Gouda cheese from the Netherlands to importing quality cheese, charcuterie, and various gourmet products from around the globe.

KYNTHOS HALLOUMI

Premium, old world Halloumi straight from the salty shores of Cyprus. Kynthos Halloumi is tangy and salty with an abundance of flavor, each bite will leave you craving more. Halloumi 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.

What makes Halloumi stand out even further is its very high melting point due to a naturally low acid content. Since it only softens significantly when heated but does not melt, Halloumi allows for grilling, frying, and cooking in a variety of styles usually reserved for meats or firmer vegetables and proteins.

FRESH, TANGY, FRYING CHEESE halloumi from cyprus

If you can’t get to Cyprus soon, grab a warm bite of Kynthos Halloumi and close your eyes while imagining white sand beaches, turquoise waters. This cheese’s squeaks alone may induce smiles. 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. Add any sauce to suit your mood and some simple ingredients to make a one-pan-wonder.

Halloumi is a fresh, unripened frying cheese similar to a clean, light and lactic tasting mozzarella if it were much firmer and slightly saltier. Widely recognized throughout the Mediterranean as the crowning cheese jewel of Cyprus cuisine as well as in neighboring Turkey and Greece.

FETALIA FETA

Typically when we think Feta we think of Greece. Unlike the many Fetas 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 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.

creamy and smooth spanish cheese

MADE WITH RAW COW'S MILK

Mahón has some characteristics specific to it, despite aging. In general the cheese is buttery sharp, slightly salty and lightly aromatic in taste. Mahón is sweet and fruity but at times slightly salty. This is due in part to the sea salt content in the grass the cows eat. The rind is generally an orange color due to being rubbed with oil and paprika. As it reaches maturity, it tends to have small misshapen holes and has some granularity. A very versatile cheese, Mahón is traditionally eaten sliced thinly and drizzled in olive oil

KAASLANDS KANAAL

For centuries, the canals that wind their way through Holland’s lush countryside and historic cities have provided Dutch traders a mean to connect and prosper. In the same manner, Kaaslands Kanaal delivers the same history and tradition while providing a means for people to come together and connect over a cheese that is full-flavored, nutty and slightly sweet. Enjoy melted into any number of dishes or simply as a delicious snack.

Kaaslands Kanaal received the Silver Award for Best Cow’s Milk Cheese at the 2018 Summer Fancy Food Show Sofi Awards.

PROOSDIJ CHEESE

2018 SOFI WINNER

Kanaal is crunchy, butterscotch, salty-sweet cheese candy, fresh from Holland. The older Kanaal gets, the more deliciously dense and fudgy it becomes. At a glance or blind bite, one may guess Kanaal is any number of cheese types. In a way this is true as it is a lesser known style called Proosdij

Proosdij is a semi-firm to firm style of washed-curd cheese made very similarly to Goudas using specific combinations of mixed-strain starter cultures. The cheese develops aroma, flavor, and texture profiles with characteristics of a cross between Gouda and Parmesan cheeses. This also includes the satisfying crunchiness of increasing amounts of tyrosine crystals that form with age along more sweet, fruity, toasted caramel, and bouillon flavors than Gouda cheeses.

ND-320 PAULUS ABBEY WHEEL | 1x4 LB ND-334 PAULUS ABBEY PRE-CUTS EW | 16x7 OZ

Paulus Abbey

The history of Paulus Beer Cheese dates back to the city of Utrecht in the sixteenth century, where the Paulus Abbey – the second-oldest monastery in the Netherlands – had its own brewhouse. Using water drawn from the city’s canals, the Benedictine monks brewed their own beer and everyone in Utrecht, rich and poor, drank it. In 1580, however, the abbey was dissolved and for centuries the beer was lost. That was until just a few years ago, when the original recipe was finally rediscovered.

As soon as you taste Paulus Beer Cheese, you’re transported back to medieval Utrecht with its boisterous taverns, long wooden tables, full glasses and wonderful stories. To enjoy it at its best, share our cheese with family and friends and wash it down with a delicious glass of ale. But however you eat it, and whoever you eat it with, you’ll never forget the first time you serve Paulus Beer Cheese.

AN AUTHENTIC GOUDA RECIPE beer cheese

A cheese flavored with beer – that truly is something to savor. Paulus Abbey Beer Cheese is produced to an authentic recipe from Gouda, using only the best Dutch milk. A unique beer is then added, made according to the traditional method used at the Paulus Abbey, and ripen the cheese for about eight weeks until the flavor is just right.

The result is a fine Dutch Gouda that blends the gentle saltiness of a well-matured cheese with the fresh, slightly bitter fruitiness of Paulus Beer. A cheese that will leave you wanting more.

HANDCRAFTED DUTCH GOUDAS

These superior Dutch Goudas are aged between 1 and 5 years. The result is a cheese with a strong taste profile for those who love deep, sweet notes of butterscotch.

Since the cheese dries out more, you get a very crumbly and flaky cheese full of crunchy salt crystals. Because of the necessary time and care this masterpiece takes, you will not find another cheese like this!

VSOC, standing for Very Superior Old Cheese, cheeses are nothing short of unique. They are made to the original Gouda recipe in Holland, using only the best Dutch milk. To make a full wheel, no less than ten liters of milk is used. After the traditional production process, the cheeses are matured on wood in a special aging room. Through this time, the cheese are regularly hand-waxed and turned until it reaches VSOC quality standard.

Can Bech’s origins date back to 1981, when the Bech family opened their restaurant in Fontanilles, a small town on the Costa Brava. One of the most famous dishes was the ‘recuit de drap’ with candied figs from the Empordà, a very typical dessert of the area. The success of the figs was such that they began to cook them in different ways and sell them to their clients and nearby stores. What began as a dish at their restaurant became the beginning of the Can Bech as a brand of premium fruit and vegetable preserves.

PUMPKIN SPICE PRESERVE

Can Bech’s origins date back to 1981, when the Bech family opened their restaurant in Fontanilles, a small town on the Costa Brava. One of the most famous dishes was the ‘recuit de drap’ with candied figs from the Empordà, a very typical dessert of the area. The success of the figs was such that they began to cook them in different ways and sell them to their clients and nearby stores. What began as a dish at their restaurant became the beginning of the Can Bech as a brand of premium fruit and vegetable preserves.

IN A SWEET SYRUP preserved spanish figs

Preserved figs are the specialty of Can Bech; the jewel of the house. Whole preserved figs with a thick syrup are ideal for giving a special touch to any dish. Can Bech recommends serving with mascarpone ice cream, fresh cheese, or cottage cheese, and decorating it with its own syrup. It is also perfect for pairing with foie gras, cheese, or adding to a salad.

Figs are an outstanding product of the Mediterranean diet, a true delicacy that was consumed in Ancient Greece and also during the Roman Empire. At Can Bech, they offer you the best version, with figs from the Murcia plantations.
