Pastoral Artisan Cheese, Bread &
Wine
If you plan
on doing some summer entertaining, remember a few of the delicacies from the 2nd
Annual Pastoral Artisan Producer Fest to include in your spread. New products from the fest are now available
for sale at Pastoral. Take home a few
servings of locally produced fresh goat cheese from Prairie Fruits Farm &
Creamery in Urbana-Champaign. Cheese
maker Leslie Cooperband creates a super creamy goat cheese with notes of lemon
and wildflowers called Fresh Chevre. It’s
sure to please your guests.
Add artisan
charcuterie from Creminelli Fine Meats in Salt Lake City to your menu. Cristiano Creminelli learned his craft from
his father and grandfather in Piedmont, Italy. Now you can enjoy their specialty
meats like Calabrese, a mildly spicy Calabrian-inspired salami with a nice
garlic undertone or Milano, an everyday salami with a mild but slightly peppery
flavor profile.
Lastly, pull
all these artisan treats together with some remarkable spreads and
Tapenades. The Gracious Gourmet in
Bridgewater, CT will help you do just that with Fennel Blood Orange Tapenade. Slowly
caramelized fennel and red onions mixed with Kalamata olives and blood oranges create
this Sicilian inspired tapenade. Also available is the Spiced Sour Cherry
Spread, a mix of whole and pureed sour Morello cherries, tart dried cherries
and spices simmered in red Burgundy wine.
