  7. French regional cuisine is characterized by its extreme diversity and style. Traditionally, each region of France has its own distinctive cuisine accepted by both its bourgeoisie and peasants and other general citizenry of the regions. I feel for a big food month like November the flavor's and style of Alsace, Jura, Savoie, and Franche-Comte are a perfect fit for large family gatherings and cool nights drinking and eating amazing wine and food. In the Alsace/ Jura region, sociable and good-nature are the ingredients for a great, friendly evening. That is why it is not surprising that French/Alsatian people like both good food and good wine! Indeed the Alsace region of France is one of the country's smallest regions but it boasts mouth-watering specialties. This French North-East region - that shares borders with Germany - perpetuates the traditional gastronomy of France that is now renowned worldwide. Savoie and Franche-Comte is situated near the border of Switzerland. Franche-Comte is full of beautiful landscapes and pine forests. Food in North Eastern France is both hearty and full of solid flavors - eating and drinking to satisfy the hungriest gourmet! In the east of the region the food has an Alpine flavor with dishes such as fondue, raclette, gratin dauphinois and gratin savoyard. The region is also famous for its many varieties of wines and cheese including Tomme de Savoie, Reblochon, Saint-Marcellin, and Vacherin. Wines in this region include the very famous Beaujolais, Cote du Rhone, and Savoy wine. This month as we start to settle down and gear up for a busy holiday season, remember to take time to relax and eat warm hearty food. Look out for this month's Take and Plate Cheese Platters with a selection of goodies from this month's foodie e-mail. If you haven't already seen our "New" Tuesday Boucher Pre-Order Program, keep an eye out for it every Tuesday afternoon for incredible deals on fresh truffles, and organic and free range meats. Thank you so much and we appreciate your business. Perry Soulos November Cheese Specials: Please see below for details. Beaufort A.O.C Morbier au Lait Cru French Raclette Prefere de Nos Montagnes (Pasteurized Reblochon) L'Edel de Cleron November Charcuterie Specials: Please see below for details. Jambon Cuit Volpi Un Mondo Salame Selection D'Artagnan Smoked Magret Duck Breast D'Artagnan Mousse of Duck Foie Gras Alexian Paté Campagne and Truffle Mousse Simply Sausage - French Country Sausage November Cheese Specials Beaufort A.O.C This beauty comes from the tiny farm town in the department of Haute-Savoie, where the cows have the right of way in the streets and up in the pristine Alps. The Tarine and Abondance cows that produce this rich milk have been around since Roman times. history. Beaufort cheese has a smeared rind, which is rubbed, clean and robust with a uniform yellow to brown color. The paste is smooth and very firm but supple with few holes or cracks called 'oeil de perdrix' or 'partridge eyes' with an ivory to pale yellow color. Beaufort cheese lacks holes yet is similar to Gruyère, Comté or Emmental. However, it is often considered even superior in taste. The Beaufort paste smells of nuts and toffee and the taste is very distinctive. Beaufort has a nice scent of milk, butter and honey. The supple paste has flowery and herbs aromas. Beaufort cheese has a great rich, and nutty flavor that is accented by a freshness of summer grass and herbs. "The Prince of Gruyere's". Beaufort is commonly used to make cheese fondue because it melts easily. Regular Price $29.99/Lb. This Month $25.99/Lb. Morbier Au Lait Cru Originating from the Jura Mountains, Morbier is immediately recognizable by the black layer of ash separating it horizontally in the middle. The origins of the soot layer at the heart of the paste date back to the beginning of the 19th century when Morbier was made in two stages. In order to protect the curd for the night and keep insects away, a layer of soot was sprinkled over its surface. In the morning, another layer of "fromage frais" was added on top of it. Today, the black layer is a harmless, purely decorative vegetable product that makes for a good anecdote. It has a slightly strong aroma with rich, nutty, and earthy flavors. Morbier has a meadow sweet aroma of nuts and hay. The maturation of Morbier is usually 3 months. Morbier is excellent served with Gewürztraminer or Pinot Noir. Regular Price $15.99/Lb. This Month $12.99/Lb. French Raclette Raclette is a cow's milk cheese that has a light-brown rind and a firm texture. It has a round or square shape with smooth, pink to deep orange, slightly sticky, natural rind. It is a hard cheese with a subtle flavor, good aftertaste and firm texture. Although the cheese has a pleasant enough flavor, it is not really extraordinary until it is heated in front of a fire or under a hot grill. Then the full nutty, sweet and slightly fruity aroma intensifies and the elasticity of the melting cheese makes it truly magnificent. It is used in a dish called raclette, the name is derived from the French verb racler (to scrape). Raclette was mentioned in medieval writings as a particularly nutritious meal consumed by peasants in mountainous France and Switzerland. It was then known in the German-speaking part of Switzerland as Bratchäs, or "roasted cheese." Traditionally, the cow herders used to take the cheese with them when they were moving cows to or from the pastures up in the mountains. In the evenings around the campfire, they would place the cheese next to the fire and, when it had reached the perfect softness, scrape it on top of some bread. A modern way of serving raclette involves an electric table-top grill with small pans, known as coupelles, to heat slices of raclette cheese in. Generally the grill is surmounted by a hot plate or griddle. The cheese is brought to the table sliced, accompanied by platters of boiled or steamed potatoes, other vegetables and charcuterie. These are then mixed with potatoes and topped with cheese in the small, wedge-shaped coupelles that are placed under the grill to melt and brown the cheese. Alternatively, slices of cheese may be melted and simply poured over food on the plate. The accent in raclette dining is on relaxed and sociable eating and drinking, the meal often running to several hours. Regular Price $15.99/Lb. This Month $12.99/Lb. Prefere de Nos Montagnes (Pasteurized Reblochon) The milk used to make this cheese is only from three alpine local breeds, Abondance, Montbeiard and Tarine, and the production takes place in a precise location in Savoie and Haute-Savoie departments. The cows are fed without the addition of ensilaged crops, which reinforces the effect of the flora in the mountain pastures. The cows are milked twice a day: early mornings and end of the days. It has a nutty, full-flavored, buttery, creamy taste. A must have, especially if you love Tartiflette. Reblochon goes well with fruity red wines, like Beaujolais, or a fruit driven Pinot Noir from California. It can also pair well with Riesling. Regular Price $24.99/Lb. This Month $21.99/Lb. L'Edel de Cleron We feel it is one of the best commercially made full-flavored brie's from the French-Comte region. The perimeter of the cheese itself is banded by a strip of an aromatic spruce bark which lends to woodsy, resinous flavor of the cheese. The crust is a pale-gold with specks of pink throughout, and you will notice the checked cloth markings on the top of the wheel from a special 3 week brining process. The tradition of production stems from the climate and difficulties of living in the mountains; when the Winters came it was literally impossible to deliver milk to the Comte, or Abondance cooperatives, so people made smaller Cheeses for home use that could be eaten within weeks. These young cheeses were fairly fragile and so were banded with bark (Spruce, fir or pine) to hold the shape for storage and serving. Even now these cheeses are best eaten from late fall to Spring when the milk is most suitable for this type of cheese. The flavor of L'Edel de Cleron is perfumed with scents of the Forest and a slight resinous aspect from the bark. The texture is very rich and creamy. Best eaten at a full ripe stage. Regular Price $25.99. This Month $22.99/Lb. November Charcuterie Specials Jambon Cuit The characteristic flavors of hams vary with the type of salt, curing process, breed, diet and age of the pig. The names of ham sometimes designate a particular region or a particular curing process. Two of the better known hams in France are: jambon de Paris (steamed) and jambon de Bayonne (salt-cured). Jambon Cuit is a moist and delicious steamed ham. It has a fresh and clean taste and is what ham should taste like. It is our most popular ham. Try it rolled up and placed on your next party platter or try it on one of our baguettes with some butter for a real French experience. Regular price $11.99/Lb. This Week $9.99/Lb.

This is a spicy, rich and bold flavored salami that hot spice aficionados will go crazy over. There are so many great ways to use chorizo, in paella, with cheese, and even omelets. Best paired with Campo de Montalban or a young Manchego and a glass of a full-bodied Rioja. Un Mondo Fuet Spanish Inspired Sweet Salame An all natural product with no nitrates. Fuet is a long, slender all-pork sausage frequently found in Catalua, Spain. Great on its own or try grilling it and use in sandwiches and soups. Perfect when paired with Manchego or Garrotxa. To drink? Cava of course! D'Artagnan Smoked Magret Duck Breast D'Artagnan's all-natural Smoked Magret is made from Moulard duck breast-the cross-breed of Muscovy and Pekin ducks raised to produce foie gras, which also boasts a deeply flavorful meat. Its authentic smoky taste comes from our traditional slow cooking method, using real hardwood hickory chips-no artificial flavors or liquid smoke short cuts here! D'Artagnan's Smoked Magret matches beautifully with fruits and salads: think blueberries, plums, pears, peaches, and greens like frisée and mesclun.

He was part of the team that organized the Mt. Pleasant Farmers' Market in Washington, DC French Country Sausage Duroc hogs produce remarkably flavorful and juicy meat. Here Stan combined Duroc pork with French tarragon, fresh shallots, fresh parsley, French gray sea salt, white pepper, and a pinch or two of clove and nutmeg. We like our French Country Sausage grilled and served on a good baguette or with lentil or potato salad. But you can also saute, bake, or broil them. Leftover French Country sausages are also good cold. They taste like an excellent pate, but they have half the fat per ounce. Stan likes to eat the leftovers on bread with mustard. Ingredients: Duroc pork, French gray sea salt, water, shallots, parsley, white pepper, tarragon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Regular Price $11.99/Lb. This Month $10.99/Lb.

Enhance the flavor of simply-seasoned grilled steaks by finishing them with a pat of butter topped with some freshly grated summer truffle. Shave fresh summer truffles over your favorite cream-sauce base ravioli or risotto. Roast a chicken, drizzle it with summer truffle sauce and serve with caramelized endives. Alternatively, serve meat alongside whipped potatoes finished with a sprinkling of truffles. •In season from April to September •Product of Central and Northern Italy and Spain •Sold as whole, intact pieces of 1 ounce apiece, on average Regular Price $279.99 per pound.

This foie gras is especially good for terrines because it releases relatively little fat. It's also very good seared. •Fresh Grade A, hot-eviscerated foie gras from Moulard ducks •Ducks are raised in the French style, with 12-14 days of gavage •Diet is 100% corn for a distinctively sweet flavor profile •No hormones or antibiotics ever used •2 slices of 2- 3 ounces each per package (5 oz.)

  10. Thursday night come by Arrowine to sample some really good Belgian beer and some amazing French cheeses and meat absolutely free! August 19th, 5-7 PM @ Arrowine in Arlington, VA Also during the tasting all the beers we are sampling are 10% OFF and so will all the cheese from the tasting Beer: La Chouffe (Belgian Golden Blonde Ale) - LA CHOUFFE is an unfiltered blonde beer, which is re-fermented in the bottle as well as in the keg. It is pleasantly fruity, spiced with coriander, and with a light hop taste. McChouffe (Belgian Strong Dark Ale) - The Mc CHOUFFE is an unfiltered dark beer, which is re-fermented in the bottle as well as in the keg. Behind its fruity flavour a slight hint of bitterness may be found Gouden Carolus Hopsinjour (Belgian IPA Triple) - "Hopsinjoor" is a wordplay to for one thing the several hops which were used, and on the other hand the typical character of Mechelen of Gouden Carolus: the figure "opsinjoor" is intertwined with the history of Mechelen. 4 types of hops are used: Golding, Spalt, Hallertau and Saaz. These hops were fractioned at several times in the cooking process in order to keep a maximum of aroma. Regarding to taste we can say that the beer has a gentle, but nevertheless bitter aftertaste. Gold-yellow color. Hoppy aroma. Buffalo Belgian Stout (Belgian Strong Dark Ale) - BUFFALO from Brouwerij Van Den Bossche is dark, almost black, top fermented Belgian style stout. In 1907 "Buffalo Bill's" Circus from the US played on the town square of Sint-Lievens-Esse. The brewery workers arranged for a young apprentice to watch over the brew kettels. He did, but he forgot to stir and Buffalo was born. The New Buffalo was created to commemorate 100th Anniversary of that event. Bruery Coton(Old Ale Aged in Oak Barrels) - Coton is our second anniversary ale. It is the same recipe as Papier, but created using the Solera method. We blended a portion of Papier that had been aging in oak barrels with this new batch of the same beer, adding an additional layer of complexity that will grow over time as we continue to age and blend with each anniversary, creating an older average age to the ale. Cheese: Abbaye de Belloc ( Sheep Milk) Cantalet (Cow Milk) Fourme D''Ambert (Cow Milk) Pont L'Eveque (Cow Milk) Saucisson Sec ( Dry Aged French Salami)

The store is an international icon and is considered as a forerunner of the British whole food movement and an important part of the revival of London's Covent Garden district. Founded in 1979 by Nick Saunders and Randolph Hodgson as a cheese maker's shop, the store grew from a cheese maker’s store into a retailer of artisanal, mostly British and Irish cheeses (including farmhouse Cheddar and varieties such as Stinking Bishop), spinning off the cheese making operation as Neal's Yard Creamery in Herefordshire. The company now sells about 500 tons of cheese a year through its store in Shorts Gardens (near Seven Dials), its shop in South London's Borough Market, and through its exports worldwide, especially the United States. Neal’s Yard Dairy’s main aim is to keep in close contact with cheese makers on one hand and customers on the other and above all to be in very close contact with all the cheese passing through their hands. They visit some cheese makers very often; They select their cheddars by visiting the West Country every eight weeks and tasting through young cheese to select the batches that will be matured on for them. Apart from trying to find the best cheese available this is also when the cheese maker can get a sense of how their cheeses are being received by customers. Many of the cheeses they buy are either matured on the farm or in their own maturing rooms in Bermondsey which are in brick railway arches under the main line from London Bridge to Dover. The insulation provided by the venerable Victorian brick work helps them maintain good conditions for the cheese: humid and cool. A team of five take care of the cheese, turning the cheeses and sometimes brushing or washing them until they ripen. Neal’s Yard Dairy buy’s cheese from about seventy cheese makers on farms around Britain and Ireland and they sell the cheese in their two shops in London and to shops and restaurants all over the world. Lucky for all our wonderful Arrowine customers we offer a large selection of their delicious cheeses. This month stop by Arrowine and sample the absolute finest quality cheese of the British Isles, all selected by Neal’s Yard Dairy. Ardrahan Isle of Mull Cheddar Berkswell Ticklemore Colston Bassett Stilton Coolea Abbleby’s Cheshire Hafod Ardrahan The Burns family have been Dairy farmers for generations. Eugene Burns Senior established a herd of pedigree Friesians in 1925. Then, in 1983 Eugene Senior’s son, also Eugene, and his wife Mary turned their hands to cheese making. Ardrahan Farmhouse Cheese was founded in 1983 by Eugene and Mary Burns at their family farm in Kanturk, Co. Cork. The farm is based in the lush countryside of Duhallow in north west county Cork. Washed rind cheeses are particularly well suited to County Cork as the climate is ideal: mild and damp, with the Atlantic spray, rising off the coast, seasoning the air with a salty tang. During maturation, the cheeses are washed with salt water. This encourages a coat of Brevibacterium linens, the sticky orange growth that ripens the cheese from the rind in and turns it from chalky to smooth and oozing. Ardrahan is Irish food at its best in terms of tractability and wholesomeness. It is a vegetarian cheese made with whole milk and vegetarian rennet. Ardrahan cheese has a unique flavor. It has an earthy, farmhouse taste and aroma, and also a zesty tang that enhances the rich buttery and meaty flavor. It has a smooth texture. This cheese is usually made in a wheel shape, and has an edible, full-bodied rind and a deep yellow-honey interior. Ardrahan's interior is firm and slightly chalky. It usually matures in four to eight weeks. Ardrahan has won many awards, including multiple medals from the British Cheese Awards. Isle Of Mull Cheddar Along the fragmented coastline of West Scotland lies the Isle of Mull, a bleak and beautiful landmass of mountains, lakes and small sheltered woodlands, no longer than thirty miles in length and twenty across. Tobermory is its only town, with a third of the island’s population of 3,000. Life on an island requires the Reade family to be resourceful and to use local resources as much as possible. Even feeding the cows provides challenges. Summers are short and the cows are kept inside for a lot of the year. In order to avoid supplementing the cows diet with expensive feeds from suppliers on the mainland, the Mull cows are fed the spent grain husks from the whisky distillery at Tobermory which is called draff. The Reades collect draff from Tobermory. It is mixed in with sileage and fed to the cows. It smells and tastes winey and fermented, which contributes to the yeasty, feisty, wild and fruity sharp flavors in the cheese. The pale color, is also due to the cows diet being low in grass. Sileage, draff and hay contain less carotene than fresh grass and carotene is one of the things that colors other cheddars golden. Berkswell Berkswell is made at the Fletchers’ beautiful 16th century red brick and sandstone farmhouse, which has been in the family for six generations. The cheese is named after the village of Berkswell the nearest town to the farm and although it’s only about 5 minutes from Coventry, the farm is firmly in the country. The Fletchers began milking sheep in 1989 and have a flock of Friesland and Friesland Poll Dorset cross ewes. They began by selling liquid milk, but a local farm shop convinced them to try making cheese. The cheese is made in small vats. The starter is added to warmed milk and left to do its work. When the acidity has built up, rennet is added and the milk sets to the texture of a blancmange. The curd is then cut and heated to reduce the size of the particles and remove moisture. When it is at the right consistency, it is put into the modern version of traditional basket moulds: kitchen colanders, which gives the cheese its distinctive shape. After draining, a coat of a breathable plastic called plasticote is applied and acts a little like the cloth binding on a cheddar; allowing the moisture to be released and the flavors to concentrate as the cheese matures. Rich, sweet, fruity and nutty. Sometimes with a fruity acidity that reminds us of pineapples, sometimes creamy and biscuity, but the flavors are always, long, deep and mouth-filling. The texture can be slightly grainy and depending on age varies from quite firm to moist and relatively soft. Ticklemore For a couple of years now, Ticklemore has been made by Debbie Mumford and Mark Sharman at Sharpham Creamery not far from The Ticklemore Dairy where Robin Congdon and his team used to make it. Robin decided he didn’t have the space to make his 3 blue cheeses and Ticklemore too. He asked if Ticklemore could be made at Sharpham. Debbie spent a day with Robin, reminding herself how to make the cheese, realized she could remember it pretty well and with Robin’s advice and help started making Ticklemore. For about a year they both made batches of the cheese and the following season Debbie made it all herself. They still buy their milk from the same farm Robin used to and the goats graze on the edges of Dartmoor browsing not only the pastures but the hedgerows which are deliberately kept long for that purpose. Goats by their nature like to browse and eat a wide variety of plants. Will, the goats milk supplier likes to let them do this as much as possible. Light, gentle, floral, herby and ice-creamy cool with a moist crumbling texture. Colston Bassett Stilton Colston Bassett is one of the smallest Stilton Dairies in the country. They buy milk from 5 farms surrounding the dairy. They have been buying from the same farms since the 1920s. Since 1920, there have only been 4 head cheese makers at Colston Bassett: Tom Coy, Ernie Wagstaff, Richard Rowlett and now Billy Kevan. Their Stilton is more traditional than any other. The curd is hand-ladled before draining. This treats the curd more gently and preserves its structure, which results in a luscious, creamy texture when the cheeses are mature. The cheeses they make for us are made with traditional animal rennet rather than vegetable rennet. Animal rennet is used by the most exacting cheese makers because it makes better cheese. With Colston Bassett Stilton, the texture is more full-bodied when made with animal rennet and the flavor is deeper, more complex and longer lasting than that of cheeses made with vegetable rennet. Neal’s Yard also ask Colston Bassett to pierce the cheeses later and less often than for their regular recipe Colston Bassett, which gives the cheese a chance to express flavors other than blue; they want the blue to balance rather than overwhelm the cheese. For almost a century, Colston Bassett and District Dairy has been making the finest quality Blue Stilton, "King of Cheeses". A highly skilled, dedicated and experienced team use the same time honored recipe and methods used by generations to make this unique, award winning cheese, every day taking the milk from the same pastures and the same farms that founded the dairy as a co-operative in 1920‘s. Colston Bassett, a rural village in the heart of the English countryside, has become famous to lovers of fine cheese worldwide. Greenish-blue veining liberally spread through a crumbly, rich ivory paste. Just typing that makes me salivate. Thoughts of fun gatherings and celebrations of all kinds come to mind for this cheese. This could easily fill in for the desert of your next great meal, sliced pears or grapes is all you will need for pure enjoyment. England’s only name protected cheese easily earns a spot in any cheeses counter. Coolea Coolea Cheese is hand made on the mountain farm of Dick and Helene Willems in Coolea Co. Cork. Ireland. Coolea has a smooth, caramel flavor, this cow milk cheese has an amazingly satisfying chewiness. Aged for at least twelve months, Coolea is a supremely unique cheese born from Dutch traditions and Irish terroir.Helene and Dick Willems moved to Ireland in the late 1970s from Amsterdam, Holland. In Amsterdam, they did various jobs, among which was running a restaurant. They moved to Ireland looking for a serene contrast to the bustle of restaurant work and bought a farm in a beautiful, but remote part of the country. Coolea is a small village nestled in among a deep, quiet mountain range where the Irish language is still widely spoken and where the Willems thought they’d have a complete change of pace.They started making cheese as a hobby, from the milk of their few cows, but the cheese just tasted too good. First neighbors started to want it, then shopkeepers including Neal’s Yard Dairy. Before long it was a small business. In 1991, Dicky joined his parents making cheese and a couple of years later, he had taken over as head cheese maker. Helene and Dick retired in 1999 and Dicky now makes the cheese on his own, buying in milk from a couple of local farmers. Coolea cheese is a made to a recipe similar to Dutch Gouda. Dicky makes cheese using pasteurized milk, but in other respects it is a very traditional recipe: handmade and using traditional animal rennet. Coolea has won several international awards, the most prestigious of which include supreme champion IFEX Belfast 1999, Supreme champion British cheese awards 2000. Best modern British cheese and best Irish cheese at the British cheese awards 2007. And most recently Best matured gouda in the World Cheese awards and supreme champion at the Listowel food fair 2008. Appleby’s Cheshire The Appleby’s work closely as a family to produce, sell and support Appleby’s Cheshire. The traditional Cheshire Cheese recipe has been handed down through the Appleby family and now the third generation of Appleby’s, Paul, his wife Sarah and sister Clare, are fully involved in the business. They are supported in the dairy by Garry Gray, the Head Cheese maker and by the team on the farm. Appleby’s Cheshire is the last traditionally made, clothbound, un-pasteurized Cheshire. Their style of cheese making is less acidic than most Cheshire, using smaller quantities of starter and is more likely to represent the cheeses made on the farm a hundred years ago. There is also an element of geographical luck too. The cows graze on the edge of the Cheshire plain beneath which are salt and mineral deposits. These come through in the grass and it is considered that they give the subtle, mineral flavors to the cheese. The flavor is clean and zesty on the tongue followed by a rich mouth watering finish, which you can enjoy in your mouth long after you have tasted the cheese, moist and crumbly, an a good level of acidity helps to create this tasty traditional Cheshire Cheese. Vegetarian rennet used. The original ingredients; un-pasteurized milk, starter culture, rennet, salt and annatto are used. A committed team, work with quality ingredients and carefully monitor timing, temperature and acidity to create a consistently high quality product. Expertise is essential to work with constant variations during the seasons which vary the central ingredient; Appleby’s milk. Appleby’s Cheshire goes particularly well with fruits, as the acidity complements the sweetness of the fruit. Appleby’s Cheshire also has excellent cooking properties. Hafod Hafod is a traditional hard cheese handmade by Sam and Rachel Holden on Wales’ longest certified organic dairy farm, Bwlchwernen Fawr. They only use the raw (un-pasteurized) milk from their 65 Ayrshire cows to make Hafod. Ayrshire milk is rich in butterfat and protein, and is widely regarded as being ideally suited to cheese making. It is this unique combination of creamy organic Ayrshire milk and traditional cheese making techniques that give Hafod its buttery, rich and nutty flavors. The name - Hafod (pronounced Havod) – is Welsh for summer place or pasture. In the farm’s case, Hafod is an area of meadow next to the river Aeron where all the cows graze as heifers before joining the milking herd. Bwlchwernen Fawr has been farmed organically for 35-years, by Sam’s father Patrick Holden, Director of the Soil Association.

He was raised on a 600 acre cattle farm in northern Illinois and was helping his father daily before and after school by the time he was 9 years old. In 1970 Bill held a position as a Cattle Packer/Buyer for Illini Beef Packers in Geneseo, Illinois. Bill selected cattle to be purchased and processed for five years, until 1975 when he began working for Interstate Producers in Peoria, Illinois. With this new position, Bill handled selling finished cattle for 200 feed yards in Northern Illinois. Bill handled the sale of 40,000 – 50,000 cattle annually negotiating the sales to fit the needs of 14 different packing facilities between New Jersey and Nebraska. During this time Bill traveled to different cattle auctions throughout the US and spent much time in Virginia purchasing cattle to ship to Illinois and west. In 1991 Bill moved to Virginia and purchased light weight cattle to ship to western feed yards and finish on grain. To this day Bill maintains excellent relationships with people who have been his customers since the 70’s and 80’s. Since 1980, Bill has been managing and growing his own herd of Angus, where he has carefully selected the breeding of all Angus to ensure a quality beef product. Careful Bull selection has been made based on ability to produce marbling and texture required in a fine piece of beef found in quality restaurants. His early experiences purchasing finished cattle and purchasing light weight cattle has enabled Bill to develop a top quality herd of Angus.

  15. If you're like most Americans, you probably grew up on single-wrapped slices of cheese, or perhaps cheese that was foil-wrapped and came in a brightly-colored box, or bricks of cheese that were either white or orange or sometimes both. All of those styles of cheese are what we think of when we hear the phrase "American cheese." Fortunately for us, the definition of American cheese has expanded to include cheeses made by small to medium-size cheese makers around the country who pay close attention to milk quality and flavor, with an eye toward developing flavorful and beautiful-looking cheeses. The cheeses being made in the United States are unquestionably better than they've ever been. These specialty cheeses are certainly more plentiful than ever too. The most eye-opening example of growth is with the annual cheese competition of the American Cheese Society. In 2005, cheese makers submitted 715 cheeses for judging. 2006, that number leaped to almost 1,000 cheeses. YOUR BALONEY DOES NOT HAVE A FIRST NAME OR A LAST NAME Cured meats in the American diet have often been found pre-sliced in bright yellow packaging, but there are hopes that a growing number of artisanal meat producers will change this. Just as pinot noir, syrah and cabernet has replaced jug wine in the American vernacular, IPA, Stout, Amber, and Porter have replaced generic light lager beer, Prosciutto, pate, and salami or soppressata may one day replace baloney. Stop by Arrowine this month to experience some of America’s finest cured meats and cheeses. Show your support for our hard working American farmers and artisans! Don’t forget about our Grab & Go Cheese and Meat trays with a selection of some of these great American products! Cheese: Cabot Clothbound Cheddar, Humboldt Fog, Landaff, Point Reyes Blue, Nancys Hudson Valley Camembert Cured Meats: Creminelli Fine Meats, La Quercia Prosciutto Americano, Nueske's Applewood Smoked Bacon, Alexian Pate and Mousse Jeni's Gourmet Ice Cream Landaff Creamery Nestled in the foothills of the White Mountains is Landaff Creamery, a small farmstead cheese company, that produces Landaff Cheese, an authentic New Hampshire cheese based on a traditional Welsh Caerphilly recipe. Landaff cheese is made from the milk they produce at their dairy farm, Springvale Farms, located next door to the creamery. Doug and Debby Erb are a second-generation dairy farmers and have been producing high-quality milk since the 1950’s. Made from Landaff's own high quality raw cow's milk, Landaff Cheese is a mild, semi-firm cheese with a delicious combination of flavors, tangy with a clean finish. The open and buttery texture comes with a natural, cave-aged rind. It melts beautifully for cooking, and makes a wonderful addition to any cheese plate. The natural cave-aged rind is safe to eat. The aging process or affinage is the ripening period that allows the enzymes in cheese to break down the compounds that provide the flavor and characteristics of the cheese. To create the proper environment, you must have the correct temperature, humidity, and airflow. The early cheeses were aged in caves providing the right environment for ripening. Landaff cheese is aged in The Cellars at Jasper Hill Farm in Greensboro, VT. The Kehler families have developed their cellars based on a French model and will provide the affinage for Landaff Cheese. Great cheese can never become truly great cheese without the nurturing required to reach it’s full potential. Cabot Clothbound Cheddar Made by Cabot Creamery and aged at the Cellars of Jasper Hill for 12 months, this clothbound English-style cheddar won a Gold Medal at the 2004 World Cheese Awards in London and was named "Best of Show" by the American Cheese Society in 2006. A simple, approachable, balanced cheddar that impresses with layers of lingeringly nutty, slightly fruity and nearly buttery flavor, while finishing with the mellowness of caramel undertones. Using the pasteurized milk of Holstein cows from George Kempton's neighboring farm in Peacham, and using traditional British methods of wrapping and aging the cheese in bandages, Cabot produces these 35 pound clothbound wheels and delivers them to neighboring Cellars at Jasper Hill within 2 to 5 days for aging and maturation. Upon arrival, the Kehler brothers brush each wheel with melted lard to promote sturdy rind development and turn the cheese daily for three weeks. The resulting cheese offers a stunning array of flavors: the firm, slightly crunchy paste unfolds with layers of toasted nuts and toffee. Sharp and creamy, this cheddar doesn't so much melt in your mouth as it does coat every surface with caramelized luxury. Proof that quality milk and careful aging produce amazing cheese. Humboldt Fog Mary Keehn got started on the goat cheese trail in the 1970s when she decided to raise Alpine goats as a source of healthful milk for her children. Not too long after, Mary started receiving awards for her herd and became recognized as an expert in the field. Blessed with an excess of milk from fifty goats, Mary started making cheese in 1983. If you have ever been through Northern California that should be enough to convince you of how great this cheese is. This soft ripened Goats milk cheese made by Cypress Grove Creamery has grown to be one of the most popular cheeses produced in the United States. Each handcrafted wheel features a ribbon of edible vegetable ash along its center and a coating of ash under its exterior to give it a distinctive, cake-like appearance. An American Original! Tangy, fresh, sweet and slightly acidic best describes the flavor , thick and rich texture. A must try if you haven’t already. For a simple yet elegant dessert or snack: serve with honeycomb, pears, and a crisp white wine. Place a slice atop a delicious salad of spinach, apple, mandarin oranges, walnuts, cranberries, and red bell pepper. Drizzle with raspberry-balsamic vinaigrette. Humboldt Fog pairs nicely with wild mushrooms and other earthy flavors. Cheese Awards: Metropolitan Home Magazine, 2003 Best Cheese & Dairy Product 2002 Gold, London International Cheese Competition, 2004 First Place, American Cheese Society, 1998 • 2002 • 2005 Point Reyes Farmstead Blue Made by cheese master Monte McIntyre, Point Reyes Farmstead Blue is made with Grade A raw milk from a closed herd of Holstein cows that graze on the green pastured hills overlooking Tomales Bay. The taste of the cheese, according to the cheese maker, is influenced by "the coastal fog and the salty Pacific breezes’’. Point Reyes is graced with the talents of master cheese maker Monte McIntyre, who worked for Maytag Dairy Farms in Iowa for over fifteen years, and has brought with him the experience, consistency, and passion for making blue cheese. The Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Company, which saw its inception only six years ago, was born from the seed that Bob Giacomini planted when he started the Point Reyes Dairy in 1959. It is now a dynamic, family-run operation, with his wife Dean and their four daughters still in the fold. Time also influences the recipe. Original Blue is made within hours of milking, and then it is allowed to age for a minimum of six months. The result is a creamy, full-flavored blue cheese. Made on the farm from a closed herd of 250 Holstein cows Handmade from hormone-free raw cows' milk Made with enzymes classified as vegetarian by the FDA Made with Gluten-Free Penicillium Roqueforti Aged a minimum of 6 months All natural - containing no preservatives, bleaches or whiteners Original Blue is certified Kosher for Dairy Old Chatham Shepherding Company's Nancy's Hudson Valley Camembert 25th Annual Conference, American Cheese Society's Winner. Nancy's Hudson Valley Camembert is a creamy, soft-ripened cheese made from the milk of the Old Chatham Shepherding Company's herd of East Fresian ewes, combined with a neighboring farm's hormone-free cow's milk. A multiple-award winner, Nancy's Camembert is meltingly smooth and buttery with a nice tanginess to highlight the lushness and the texture of a triple-crème. This cheese pairs especially well with many sparkling wines and Champagnes, as well as most Chardonnays, Rieslings and Sauvignon Blancs. This rich, buttery soft-ripened cheese practically melts in your mouth. Spread a little on slices of warm baguette and serve with a salad or a soup, or just on its own. Or serve it after dinner, along with a few dried apricots or figs and a few toasted walnuts. Old Chatham Sheepherding, begun in the 1980s by Tom and Nancy Clark, was the first major cheese making sheep farm in this country, and the Clarks now raise over 1200 East Friesian ewes, making Old Chatham Sheepherding the largest sheep dairy in the United States. While the Clarks make several excellent cheeses, and have just introduced a new blue cheese, their Hudson Valley Camembert has really made a splash in the cheese world, winning the grand prize in the 2001 U.S. Championship Cheese Contest, as well as a blue ribbon at the 2000 American Cheese Society's annual competition. Sheep’s milk cheese has been made in other parts of the world for centuries, perhaps as long as 12,000 years, but it is relatively new in the United States. Old Chatham Sheepherding Company was in the forefront of producing some of the first sheep’s milk cheese and yogurt in the US. La Quercia Prosciutto Americano Prosciutto Americano was introduced in 2005 to critical acclaim and appreciation. Named by Bon Appetit Magazine as 2007 "Food Artisans of the Year", Herb and Kathy Eckhouse in many senses define contemporary culinary pioneering. Using the finest domestic pigs and a well developed recipe, Herb, Kathy, and the staff at Iowa's La Quercia produce this domestic prosciutto that holds it own next to the greats from Parma. La Quercia means the Oak in Italian. The Oak is a traditional symbol of the province of Parma (where they lived) and, through its acorns, has been associated with the history of prosciutto for 500 years. It is also the state tree of Iowa. The name unites Iowa, Parma, and prosciutto, and is a symbol of patience, persistence, integrity and beauty. Vogue Food Critic, author, and Iron Chef judge Jeffrey Steingarten wrote that it was "the best American or imported prosciutto I’ve ever tasted." Bon Appetit, The New York Times, Food & Wine, Cook’s Illustrated, Country Home, the Chicago Tribune, the Philadelphia Inquirer, Fine Cooking, and House & Garden added their praises, while award winning chefs like Mario Batali, Michael White, Nancy Oakes, Michel Richard, Charlie Trotter, Chris Bianco, Paul Kahan, Ana Sortun, Nancy Silverton, and Tony Mantuano added it to their menus. That is an very impressive résumé. The only prosciutto available made exclusively with humanely raised, antibiotic free pork, Prosciutto Americano offers lower yield losses, improved slicing characteristics, and more uniform quality end to end. Traditionally salted, dried, and aged with only sun dried sea salt added, each piece is worked on 11 times by their trained artisans to maximize its potential. They use no nitrates, nitrites or substitutes. Its flavors are subtle, nuanced, and impressive--sweet, salty, slightly nutty, and deliciously meaty. Use it as you would the finest from Parma: on your antipasto plates, in your favorite sandwich, or by itself with some crusty bread. We highly recommend it!

Nueske’s Applewood Smoked Bacon Here’s the smoked bacon so good it won national acclaim from The New York Times, Chicago Tribune and Cuisine Magazine.

Nothing compares to this applewood smoked jewel. The pigs are lining up to become the best bacon in the world. Creminelli Fine Meats Creminelli meats are handmade under the supervision of master artisan, Cristiano Creminelli. Cristiano insists on using choice cuts of meat from select breeds, fed with organic white grains and raised on small family farms. Organic spices are employed cautiously in the European tradition to complement and not overwhelm the flavorful, well-marbled natural pork. The Creminelli family has been producing artisan meat products as far back as the oldest aunt can remember and as far back as the 1600s according to family legend. In more recent history, Grandpa Ugo Creminelli not only produced meat products, but he also served as the personal chef for General Badoglio, the Italian general who took over the government briefly after Mussolini was deposed. In 2000, Cristiano was asked by the Istituto Alberghiero di Trivero, the top culinary school for aspiring Piedmont chefs, to instruct students in the art of salami making. By this time, Cristiano had widened the family business and in 2006 the Salumificio was the first meat producer in the province to receive the prestigious Artisanal Excellence award, bestowed by the Piedmont Region and the Slow Food organization, which was started in the Piedmont Region. The pure goodness of natural raw materials from America and the unhurried care of Creminelli artisanry come together to make an unforgettable carnivorous experience. For years, we've been searching for a salami made in the US made with top-notch ingredients, in the traditional way. We wanted something like what we've had in Italy - a salami with fresh pork from a sustainable source, simply spiced and made with natural ingedients. And at long last, we've found it in Creminelli from, of all places, Utah. Barolo -There are a lot of famous wines from Italy, but none of them are as respected as the Piedmont's most famous red: Barolo. The richness of the Barolo lingers in this already robustly flavored artisan salami creating a truly complex, bursting flavor that is difficult to replicate and impossible to forget. Salame al Barolo, as it’s known in Italy, is a meat delicacy that comes from Piemonte, the same place that gave birth to Barolo wine, the Slow Food movement and our very own, Cristiano Creminelli. Tartufo - The Black Summer Truffles (Tuber aestivum) spring up between June and October in northern Italy. They are found by specially-trained dogs who sniff out their hiding spots where they are then gathered by hand. The local mushroom enthusiasts each have a secret spot or two where they hope to find some of their own truffles from year to year. Creminelli has hidden a few of them away in our Salami Tartufo and you are sure to find them there each time you go looking. Their delicate aroma works magic with the all-natural pork to create the Salami Tartufo. The scent of black truffle is intoxicating in this incredible salami. We love to serve this with buttered bread and a glass of wine Sopressata - Salami Sopressata, also called Sopressa Veneta, got its name from the practice of pressing the salami between planks of wood resulting in a straight, flattened shape. The northern Italian version from Vicenza, in the Veneto region, did away with the pressed shape and has become an international favorite. Sopressata is known for having a more robust taste thanks to the generous amount of garlic added. It is produced with the highest quality pork cuts, coarsely ground with salt added. Just before stuffing, additional spices are added including the garlic crushed by hand and dissolved overnight in a generous portion of wine. Other Flavors: Salami Felino, Wild Boar Salami, Salami Casalingo Jeni’s Ice Cream Jeni Britton Bauer became inspired to make artisan ice creams while working at a French patisserie. Drawing on the practices of a traditional pastry kitchen, Jeni created her own techniques to make American ice creams that are less sweet and more flavorful. 'Jeni’s of Columbus, Ohio, has surpassed the creativity of all other ice cream makers.' -- New York Times 'The flavors—Thai Chili, Olive Oil with Sea-Salt Pepitas, Riesling-Poached-Pear Sorbet—illustrate why Jeni Britton Bauer is a top ice cream artisan in the U.S.' --Bon Appetit 'High standards and a knack for perfecting classic flavors (and creating clever new combinations) are what set her pints apart from the rest.' -- Tasting Table 'Jeni Britton creates some of the best ice creams, sorbets and frozen yogurts in America.' -- Food & Wine 'A must for any serious lover of ice cream.' -- The Atlantic Jeni won a Tastemaker Award from Food & Wine in 2005, Their Cherry Lambic Sorbet won a Gallo Family Vineyards Gold Medal Award in 2008, and Jeni’s has been on The Food Network a handful of times, etc. Jeni's is family-owned and operated. Jeni Britton Bauer and her husband Charly Bauer co-founded the company in 2002; Charly's brother Tom Bauer became a partner one year later. Together with their small team, they make every batch of ice cream that is served in their four (soon to be five) stores in Columbus or shipped to doorsteps nationwide. Jeni’s ice cream begins at Snowville Creamery, which shares land with a small, family-owned dairy farm in Meigs County, Ohio. There, a small herd of Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Friesian and Jersey cows graze freely on rye grass, alfalfa, fescue and clover grasses. Eating a variety of grasses and walking from the barn to pastures makes for healthy cows who produce healthy, delicious milk. After milking, the skim and 2% milk is separated out to be bottled and sold in groceries. What's left is glorious whole cream, high in butterfat and flavor. Jeni buy’s nearly all of their whole cream, all that Snowville Creamery can produce. In this way, their companies are able to grow together as partners. Snowville gently pasteurizes their cream to retain the rich flavor and creaminess that everyone loves. From the cow to their kitchen within 48 hours, you cannot find fresher cream. Snowville Creamery is the finest dairy in the industry; as Warren says, it is "Milk the way it used to be." By supporting Snowville Creamery with our (growing!) business, we are doing our part to ensure fine, local milk will become widely available to all. During the growing season, our kitchen reflects the flavors of the Ohio countryside. In summer, each day brings fresh strawberries bursting from flats, hundreds of Japanese cucumbers piled in crates, and bushels of heirloom melons bought at the Saturday market. When a local farmer brings bags of fresh mint, the team washes and chops it before steeping it in cream. Apricots are peeled and sliced before they are pureed for a mid-summer yogurt. And of course, all of Jeni’s ice creams are made with Ohio dairy from pasture raised cows. No antibiotics, growth hormones, herbicides or pesticides necessary ... cows eat grass, which their bodies were built to eat.
