Food Markets: July 2008 Archives
Owner Tracy Kellner opened her gourmet shop to offer high-quality cheeses, wines, bread, meats, and other specialty items for those looking to create a special picnic or last minute dinner on a busy night. Tracy, always on hand at one of her two store locations, is happy to help you create a tasty meal and suggest a perfect wine compliment.
Tastybeat recommends some delicious Provenance options for your 4th of July or next picnic:
- Blu Mont Bandaged Cheddar from Blue Mound Wisconsin. Aged for one year, this locally-made cheddar has wonderful notes of hazelnut and tropical fruit. But supply is limited, so get it while you can!
- To go along with your cheddar, try some spicy Molinari salami and sweet/hot peppadew peppers. Consider grabbing one of Tracy's goat cheese logs to squeeze into the peppadew pepper center for an added flavor boost.
- Try one of the always delicious Eat Green Foods sandwiches. Eat Green sandwiches are made with local, organic, or sustainable products and packaged in biodegradable wrappings. Tastybeat recommends the fresh mozzarella or roast beef.
- To round out your meal, ask Tracy to recommend one of her fun sparkling wines...perhaps a cava?
- And last but not least, be sure to add DAS Caramels to your basket. These locally made caramels will not disappoint and offer the perfect ending to your summer supper on a blanket.
Happy Picnicking!
