Humboldt Fog Cheese

Soft-Ripened Goat Milk Cheese from Humboldt County, California

Conceived in a dream (yes, really!) by founder Mary Keehn, this masterpiece paved the way for soft-ripened goat cheese in America. Each handcrafted wheel features a distinctive ribbon of edible vegetable ash. You’ll enjoy buttermilk and fresh cream, complemented with floral notes, herbaceous overtones, and a clean citrus finish. As Humboldt Fog matures, the creamline develops and the flavor intensifies.

Item of the Day: Mont St. Francis Goat Cheese from Capriole Farm

Mont St. Francis Goat Cheese

Mont St. Francis was named for a nearby Franciscan retreat and was first made in 1994 when there were few American washed-rind cheeses. Cheeses like the rustic, stinky Mont originated in monasteries across Europe and were traditionally washed in brine or beer. Capriole finishes theirs in Monnik Beer Company’s His Dark Materials stout to enrich its funky, pungent flavor with a sweet, smoky finish. They are “texture-proud” at Capriole, and the semi-firm, extra fine texture of this cheese is perfectly matched to its hearty flavor and beefy nose.

By | Chef's Feed, Item of the Day, Seafood, What Chefs Want

Wixter Chilean Seabass

Each 12 oz. package contains two individually-sealed, 6 ounce portions of raw, frozen, skinless and boneless Chilean Sea Bass. 


Did you know that before 1977 Chilean Seabass was known as Patagonian Toothfish? Marketers changed the name to make it more appealing, and gourmands learned that this white, flaky Codfish is delicious no matter what it’s called. Because of its high oil content, Chilean Seabass is versatile in the kitchen and remains one of the healthiest options for seafood. Wixter’s Chilean Seabass is exclusively sourced from producers that meet the highest international sustainability standards. This is extremely important for preserving wild stock of this deep-sea delicacy, which is caught along the continental shelves in the southern oceans.

Chorizo Iberico Salami

The classic Spanish smoked paprika rubbed dry-cured salami gets an extra dose of flavor. This is no run-of-the-mill chorizo. It’s made from the legendary Iberico breed of Pata Negra (black-hoofed) pigs, a breed famous for its high-quality intramuscular fat, which makes the meat prized for its buttery, melt-in-the-mouth flavor and texture. With a great flavor and amazing texture.
