Welcome... To the 2nd summer edition of The Last Bite magazine. With the long winter finally over summer is now here to stay! It's time to gather around the table with friends and family to enjoy the healthy and delicious food that summer has to offer. In this issue we focus on produce and the great meals you can create with all New Jersey has to offer. From tomatoes to blueberries, Ferraro Foods provides the highest quality Jersey Fresh ingredients from the farm right to the table. As summer brings the warm weather, people are also starting to think about eating healthier and enjoying fresh food. What can be better than offering your customers a delicious and healthy salad! Luckily, New Jersey has a long history of producing locally grown food. The Garden State grows more than one hundred different kinds of fruits and vegetables. This makes it easy to offer customers the fresh ingredients they deserve, whether it's juicy and plump tomatoes that they can enjoy in a salad or in a sauce or strawberries that can be used in a dessert. You can be confident that you are serving the freshest produce the state has to offer! Inside you will find different recipes that showcase fresh produce. Try adding fresh produce to your favorite dishes this summer! Greens like kale, spinach, or arugala can add different flavors and nutrients to your meals. Fruit like blueberries, cranberries, and even avocado can give your salads a pop of color, different flavors and many beneficial nutrients. Instead of pasta you can try substituting healthy grains like quinoa or even vegetables like zucchini or peppers. What better to pair your fresh summer produce with than a glass of wine! With wine season almost upon us enjoy the variety of wine grapes and juices we have to offer. Many of our grapes and juices come from California and Washington State. In these areas the combination of the cool and warm climate and the rich soil allows the grapes to grow to their fullest and make delicious wine to pair with any meal. For more information about our wine grapes and juices take a look inside. Thank you for your continued readership. We hope you have a happy and healthy summer! Best regards,

They don't call New Jersey the "Garden State" for nothing. With 9,100 farms across 720,000 acres of land, the Garden State grows everything from cranberries to Christmas trees. There are a few particular crops that come to mind when thinking about summer produce in New Jersey though. Read on to find out more information on these summer staples.
The highbush blueberry is indigenous to NJ and was first cultivated in Whitesbog. The blueberry became the official state fruit of New Jersey in 2004. Hammonton, NJ is referred to as "the blueberry capital of the world". Blueberries are at their peak when they are firm, plump and dry with a dusty blue color and uniform in size. You can refrigerate blueberries for 10 to 14 days. Nutritional Benefits Low fat; saturated fat free; sodium free; cholesterol free; good source of dietary fiber; good source of vitamin C. Find these items available from June through August
Apples
Eggplant
Arugala
Escarole & Endive
Peaches are best when they have firm, fuzzy skin that yields to gentle pressure when ripe. Avoid blemishes.

Tomatoes
New Jersey Tomatoes have received a great deal of notoriety as being the best in the nation for their flavor, tenderness, and juiciness. All of that's certainly true; however, it's not because of unique weather or soil conditions. Flavor, tenderness, and juiciness, have more to do with the selection of the variety, the special growing care, and how long they remain on the vine to ripen. Tomatoes are ready to eat when they are slightly soft. An extremely firm tomato is not yet fully ripe, even though it may be completely red. Never refrigerate Jersey tomatoes. This destroys the natural, vine-ripened taste. Avoid placing them on windowsills, which are usually too hot. Store tomatoes at room temperature in a cool dark place. A sliced tomato loses its vine-ripened flavor quickly so choose tomatoes that are small enough to consume in one meal. Nutritional Benefits Low fat; saturated fat free; very low sodium; cholesterol free; low calorie; high in vitamin A; high in vitamin C; good source of potassium.
Corn
What makes Jersey Corn so sweet? It starts with the hybrid, silver queen, with its rows of small, tight, milky white kernels. Silver queen corn loves New Jersey’s clay soil, which is fertile and well drained. When choosing corn, look for ears with bright green, snugly fitting husks, and golden brown silk. Inside, the kernels should come all the way to the ear’s tip, with tightly spaced rows, and appear plump and milky. If pricked, a kernel should spurt milky white juice. Choose ears with medium-sized kernels. Very small kernels are immature, and large kernels have a starchy taste. For best flavor, eat sweet corn as soon as possible. Leaving husks on when storing corn helps preserve the flavor. At room temperature, the glucose in corn will convert to starch in as little as 24 hours, so refrigeration is critical for maintaining freshness. Corn absorbs odors from foods such as green onions, so avoid storing corn with other produce. Keep unshucked fresh corn in the refrigerator wrapped in damp paper towels and placed in a plastic bag until you are ready to use it. Refrigerate corn for no more than three days unless it is freshly picked. Nutritional Benefits Low fat; saturated fat free; sodium free; cholesterol free; good source of vitamin C.

Wine Grapes and Juices!
It’s that time again! Wine grapes and juices will be arriving sooner than you think and we have a lot of great options for you. We will have grapes from California and Washington State. From California our grapes will be sourced from Suisun Valley, Lodi, Paso Robles, Central Valley, King’s River Valley, Contra Costa, Amador, Sonoma, and Napa Valleys. From Washington State we will have grapes from the Rattlesnake Hills in Yakima Valley and grapes from the Columbia Valley. Our juices will be coming in from Central Valley and the Lodi region of California. Take a deeper dive into a few of these regions below.
Suisun Valley
Suisun is amongst the favorites for Napa Wineries looking to outsource grapes. The Valley's climate variances supports the production of both cool climate and warm climate grapes. Suisun Valley lies within the southern end of two ranges of the Coast Range, the Vaca Mountains to the east and the Mt George Range to the west. Suisun Valley ends in the south at the marshlands of Suisun Bay. To the north Suisun Valley rolls up into Wooden Valley at the Napa County line.
Suisun Valley lies within Coastal area climates characterized by cool moist winds blowing inland from the ocean and San Francisco/San Pablo Bay almost continuously from May through early Fall. Spring frosts often mitigated by proximity to Suisun Bay. Suisun Valley consists of a mixture of soils, zoned within the valley floor, and additional none typed soils within the undeveloped hillsides. Soil types include: Brentwood clay loam, San Ysidro sandy loam, Sycamore silty loam, Rincon clay loam Length: approximately 8 miles Width: approximately 3 miles at widest point
Amador
Steeped in Mediterranean winemaking tradition, for Wineries and Home Winemakers alike, Amador represents a territory where wine grapes reign supreme. Located in the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in central California, Amador County boasts 2,700 acres of wine grapes - a high percentage of which are farmed organically - and 25 wineries. Vines are planted almost exclusively on rolling, oak-studded hillsides in Sierra Series soils - primarily sandy clay loam derived from decomposed granite. These friable, moderately dense soils effectively retain Amador's 36 to 38 inches of annual rainfall, enabling most growers to dry-farm their vineyards. Dry-farming, and the fact most vines are planted on their own roots or on self-regulating rootstocks results in low crop yields averaging four tons per acre. These small yields, the vines' sparse canopies, and Amador's high solar radiance insure complete maturation of the fruit. Amador's warm climate also promotes full ripening of the grapes. While Amador heats up earlier in the day than those appellations, it rarely exceeds 100 degrees. Equally important, temperatures typically drop 30-35 degrees in the evening as breezes cascade down from the Sierras. This rapid cooling helps the grapes retain the acidity essential to balanced wines.
Napa and Sonoma Valleys
Napa Valley, located north of the San Francisco Bay, is known for its outstanding grape growing regions. With a combination of Mediterranean type weather, geography, and geology it allows for premium quality grape growing. Napa Valley was really put on the map as a world class wine region when the Paris Wine Tasting of 1976 resulted in Napa Wines being the favorite in a blind tasting. Today, Napa Valley is home to almost 400 wineries. The Sonoma Valley Chalk Hill vineyard is known for it's chalky, white ash soil that consist of volcanic ash. A sub appellation of the Russian River Valley, it has warm days and cool breezes.
We are looking forward to a great vintage this season and can’t wait to bring you your wine-making grapes and juices! The Last Bite // 8

Instructions
ďƒ‚ Ready in 30 min.
Serves 4
1
In a large skillet, bring 1/4 inch of water to a boil. Add the spinach and cook, stirring, until just wilted, about 1 minute; drain and press out as much water as possible. Wipe out the skillet.
2
In the same skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil until shimmering. Add the garlic and anchovy paste and cook over high heat, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the spinach, season with salt and stir just until coated, about 10 seconds.

Brush the burgers with oil and grill over moderate heat until browned and crusty on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Carefully flip the burgers. Top with the cheese and grill until the burgers are cooked through and the cheese is melted, about another 5 minutes. Spread the pesto on the rolls. Top with the burgers and spinach and serve.

BUSINESS NAME: Elizabeth's Pizza LOCATIONS: 1800 Skibo Road, Fayetteville, NC 2468 Hope Mills Road, Hope Mills, NC WEBSITE: www.elizabethspizza.org HISTORY: Elizabeth's Pizza is an authentic Italian Restaurant that has been family owned and operated for over 30 years. Our own Fayetteville owner, Mike, and his brothers-in-law, the Graziani brothers founded the first Elizabeth’s Pizza restaurant in Collinsville, VA in 1977.
Following a common tradition in Italy to name establishments after a family member, Mike christened the restaurant after his newborn daughter Elizabeth. As such, the family atmosphere was fundamental to the opening and the restaurant was constantly full of owners, in-laws, and nephews all taking turns at food preparation. Since that time the family has expanded and opened countless other stores, and yet Elizabeth’s Pizza has held fast to the ideals of family oriented and friendly atmosphere. The first Fayetteville location was opened in 1984 by Mike Massa and his nephew Rosario Coppola. Both the restaurants are similar, though not exact since it is not a franchise…just a family.
MOST POPULAR ITEM ON THE MENU: Linguine Sapore di Mare is one of our most popular house specials. The dish features linguine with shrimp, clams and mussels that are sautéed in wine and then blended with cherry tomatoes, olive oil, basil, garlic and Italian Spices. Other popular house specials include Veal, Chicken or Eggplant Parmigiana, Lasagna, Chicken Marsala and Roasted Chicken Cannelloni. WHAT IS ELIZABETH'S PIZZA KEY TO SUCCESS?: We take pride in satisfying our customers. We use high end ingredients in all our dishes and pizzas. Our recipes remain consistent. WHY WORK WITH FERRARO?: We have been working with Ferraro Foods for quite a while now. They provide the quality ingredients that we love.
