Item of the Day:  Wooly Wooly Sheep’s Milk Spreadable Cheese Log

 Wooly Wooly Sheep’s Milk Spreadable Cheese Log

Wooly Woolly is a soft and spreadable sheep’s milk cheese log from Jumilla, Spain. This style of fresh sheep’s milk cheese is quite rare in Spain. The texture is akin to cream cheese, but more pillowy. Its rich, sweet, and mildly sheepy flavor is wonderful on its own, but also works well in any number of cooking applications. Crumble it over salads, stuff into pasta, mix into eggs, or simply enjoy on toast or a bagel to appreciate its unique flavor.

Item of the Day: Black Hawk Ground Beef

Black Hawk Ground Beef

Black Hawk Farms is a fourth generation family farm in Western Kentucky. Their cattle are traditionally born and raised on pasture and then grain-finished using white corn, rye hay and soft red winter wheat – that they grow on their farm, free of antibiotics or hormones.

They use an eco –friendly compost barn which eliminates any negative impact to the environment. The compost barn utilizes sawdust from a local saw mill combined with what would become animal waste to create a superior mulch-like organic fertilizer that is then recycled on the farm.

This Kentucky Proud product is changing the way cattle are raised East of the Mississippi and we are pleased to offer our customers a fantastic local beef option. Through this partnership we are able to eliminate about 1,000 miles of carbon footprint!

Market Alert – Mexican Sprite & Topo Chico 

By | Beverages, What Chefs Want

 

Mexico’s industrial hub, Monterrey, is currently suffering from an intense drought. These conditions, and the water shortages, have lead to halt in production for several products. Topo Chico and Mexican Sprite are two products affected by this. The crisis is ongoing – at this time we do not know when we will be able to source more. 

Quality Market Alert – Asparagus

By | Produce, What Chefs Want

 

Jumbo asparagus will be very limited with sizing smaller than normal. Large asparagus is also going to be a bit smaller than normal. Domestic asparagus is done and Peru is transitioning growing regions. Probably no consistent relief for another 3-4 weeks. 

Domestic asparagus was winding down, but the heat wave that went through most of the country last week ended it abruptly.

Winter is starting in Peru and they just began their transition to their northern fields (closer to the equator). It will be another 3-4 weeks before they are up and running at 100%.

We will get some relief with some central Mexican product, but they have sizing issues too – as a tropical depression hurt their more mature crops about a month ago.
