Barat
is a firm cheese made in small wheels that creates a
nutty taste. Made from grass-fed cow’s milk and using vegetarian rennet,
this cheese is drier and cheddar-like in texture. Sprout Creek Farm is a
200 acre working farm in Dutchess County, New York. They make their cheese
from the rich and creamy milk of their herd of grass-fed Jersey, Guernsey,
Milking Shorthorn and Brown Swiss cows, free from artificial hormones and
antibiotics. Their artisanal cheeses are made in the age-old tradition of
European farmstead cheese using a method that merely enhances the innate
qualities of the milk. One of our favorites is Barat.
Sharp and firm, Barat is excellent with white wines, light ales, mead
and cider. 
Flor
di Capra
is an artisanal, semi-soft organic goat cheese
produced in Sardinia, Flor di Capra, and is one of only a few goat cheeses
produced in Italy. Sardinia is generally known for it’s sheep’s milk
cheeses, but the rugged land is also suitable for goats. Sardinia is a
windswept, practically treeless, rocky, mountainous landscape. Goats are
perfectly adapted for this type of habitat, they are sure-footed, able to
climb steep cliffs to find food and can survive on tree bark and thorny
scrub. They complement sheep because they prefer grass. Flor di Capra is
very creamy with a terrific balance and is flavorful without being very
“goaty”. It is a high quality cheese made in small batches on mountain
pastures using traditional techniques. 
IL
VILLAGGIO® FRESH MOZZARELLA
comes in water and is delicious!
Cook with it and melt it over veggies, chicken or a crusty loaf of bread.
Use it in your eggplant parm or chicken parmesan. Pair it with fresh
basil and delicious
olive oil
for a salad or with a nice piece of crusty bread for a delicious sandwich -
add a shake or salt, fresh ground pepper and maybe even a little balsamic
too.
Don't forget the:
BASIL is wonderful
fresh and the dry is no comparison. Used often in
Italian cuisine, Basil can be eaten fresh and can be cooked, as in in sauces
and soups. It has a wonderful fragrance. Try a tomato,
basil and fresh mozzarella salad with a little
olive oil, salt and fresh
cracked black pepper. Basil pesto made with a big handful of basil,
olive oil and pine nuts is delicious in pasta.
And fresh veggies are important:
Broccoli
truly is a wonder vegetable.
Only 25 calories
and broccoli is high in vitamin A, and is a good source of folic acid
(especially important for pregnant women), calcium, potassium, vitamin C and
beta-carotene (an antioxidant).
It is packed with antioxidants. It also contains the phytochemical
sulforaphane, a natural chemical that stimulates the body to produce enzymes
which destroy carcinogens, and therefore which can help reduce the risk of
cancer.
Johns Hopkins University study showed that Broccoli is more effective
than antibiotics for peptic ulcers and stomach cancer.
This is a
cruciferous vegetable.

Broccoli Sprouts may even be more nutritious than Broccoli, which is highly nutritious and is known to decrease many kinds of cancer. Broccoli Sprouts are great at cutting high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and stroke. Sprouts are high in glucoraphanin which works to boost the powerful antioxidant defense system in our bodies. The latest study showed that broccoli sprouts strengthen the immune system, strengthen the antioxidant system, and decrease inflammation and blood pressure. They improve our cardiovascular health. They have a nice bite to them which is great in sandwiches or salads, but I personally don't like them juiced, and you know you're doing something SOOOO good for you! |

Savoy Spinach is curly leaf spinach with a wonderful almost nutty undertone. Can be eaten raw as in a salad or cooked just a bit. Spinach actually has more nutritional value once cooked. Wash well, as with all spinach, but dry well before sautéing. The stems have the sugar so don't trim them too much and cook in very little water and you'll be rewarded with the most delicious spinach ever! |
 We'll
also have fresh celery, red peppers, cucumbers, red tipped butter
lettuce, cauliflower, tomatoes,
mushrooms,
spinach, peaches, plums, strawberries, blueberries, collards, arugula,
bagged salads, scallions, lemons, cilantro, parsley (with interest),
figs, juices, cabbage, bok choy, eggplant, baby carrots, large carrots,
beets, potatoes, onions, squash, grapes, and more so check our site
for the latest list! |

We had such a great response from the delicious Ginger Gold, we're getting them again! The Ginger Gold is crisp, tangy, sweet, and juicy and a favorite among apple aficionados. Quite attractive mix of green and yellow with a red blush. It stays white and crisp once cut so make s a nice snack, is great on your cheese platter, perfect in a salad, or bake or cook with it. Limited availability (August - October) so get them while you can! Originally from Virginia and may be a cross of a Golden Delicious and a Pippin. It was found in an orchard among twisted uprooted apple trees in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. |
Particularly tasty on these sweet apples are nut butter and Delicious Organics carries quite a selection including:
