These walnuts are perfectly coated: not overly sweet, slightly salty, yet deliciously crunchy! I'd definitely recommend them in a salad, but even on their own! Delicious :)

Sauvignon Blanc (Selection Original)
The "Sauvignon Blanc" wine kit from Winexpert makes a truly excellent wine. Quite dry, with a refreshing acidity and a herbaceous character, the Sauvignon Blanc pairs well with many vegetarian style foods as well as goat cheese.Like all the wines in the Selection series, the Sauvignon Blanc comes with explicit directions and is easy to make. The process from mixing to bottling takes somewhere between six and eight weeks but will involve no more than about four hours of your time during that period. Each wine kit produces approximately 30 750ML bottles of excellent wine, perfect for drinking with dinner, sipping in the evening, or as a gift to a friend. The Sauvignon Blanc will be ready to drink three months after bottling, although waiting longer is preferable, since the wine will continue to mature for at least a year.
White Verjus Fusion - 750 ml
Very good product. Excellent in salads and to cook. Much lighter and less acidic than vinegar. My only concern is shelf life.
Sticky Toffee Cheese (7 ounce) by igourmet
I had my eye on this cheese for a while because I love cheese and sticky toffee pudding but couldn't justify paying for the steep shipping costs ... Until Xmas. Then when it arrived, I was afraid to open it because I was afraid I wouldn't like it BUT as it turns out, I love it! It's a hard cheese with chunks of dates and brown sugar so if you like sweet-n-salty, this is perfect. I also put it next to a plate of smoked meats, nuts and fruit which all went well together. Wines? Dessert wine for sure but I think it could go well with a light, fruity red. I don't always follow the "rules" when it comes to wine pairings, though. This cheese will always be on my list, though it's an interesting and tasty cheese!
I like cheese but I love this cheese.The somewhat sweet with the slight tart of the cheese is simply a cheese I will remember and buy when I can, try it and see.

This cheese is a favorite in our family, but not usually accessible in our area. This was a gift, a nice surprise and a big hit.
Buy Cypress Grove, Humboldt Fog Cheese (8oz or 1lb) Now
Humboldt Fog is definitely Cyprus groves best cheese. Its flavor is not for everybody though. It has a light acidity due to the vegetable ash. I like it best after it has aged for a couple of weeks and begins to soften around the rind while remaining crumbly in the middle . This is NOT a blue cheese as other members have stated, so do not expect a blue cheese flavor or texture. It is a soft ripened cheese, the same process used to make cheeses like brie and camembert. The blue that you see in the middle and rind of the cheese is actually vegetable ash. Back in the day the ash was used to cover the morning milk curds until the evening milk curds could be added. Check out Cypress grove website for more info on all their great cheeses.Read Best Reviews of Cypress Grove, Humboldt Fog Cheese (8oz or 1lb) Here
This is not a value proposition cheese. I buy a supermarket brand chevre priced at eight dollars a pound and I do not think this cheese is 3X better. In fact, in some respects that cheaper cheese is better because it has that "straight from the goat" freshness to it. Yet Humboldt Fog is an excellent cheese. I find the best way to eat it is to find a very plain cracker (not a saltine!), cut off a small bit of cheese and spread it very thinly. This brings out the aged flavor. Great cheese, not cheap.Want Cypress Grove, Humboldt Fog Cheese (8oz or 1lb) Discount?
This is some of the best American-made cheese I've had, as are several other Cypress Grove cheeses. Cypress Grove is easily on par with high-end French cheeses, but that does not mean it's a straight rip-off from some traditional regional French recipe: just as American craft beer brewers have taken the Belgian and German traditions as a basis to create their own variants, creameries like Cypress Grove are coming up with novel varieties.So what does it taste like? Well, first of all, the basis for this cheese is a creamy chèvre, that is, goat cheese in the French style. It is aged as a whole wheel, so the texture is different on the outside than on the inside. On the inside, what you find is more like an aged French chèvre, whereas toward the outside, it almost approaches the consistency of a goat Gouda. Then there is white mold on the outside (think Brie, Camembert), a subtle hint of blue mold (think Rocquefort, Danish Blue) further in, and in the middle, an ingredient identified only as "vegetable ash." Whatever it is, it's tasty. But not in a "wow I guess this is good but now I cannot taste anything else for a half hour" sort of way. It's just the right amount of subtle.
If you ever want to demonstrate to a Frenchman that Americans can make good cheese, feed them some Humboldt Fog. If they still protest, that's just snobbery.
Bakers & Chefs Vinegar - 2/1 gallon jugs
I have used the Bakers & Chefs vinegar for many years. It is great for canning, salad dressings, flavored vinegars and anything else you want to use it for.

Really pricey. I think a 45-gallon barrel is that much at the warehouse. I first cancelled, they did not respond so I went ahead and accepted. Certainly not economical.
Aidells Artichoke & Garlic Sausage, 13 ounces
Aidells makes great sausage, and I am from Wisconsin and grew up on Sheboygan bratwurst. My favorite of all of the Aidells flavors is the Artichoke & Garlic. I love this one, and it is lower in fat content really quite reasonable for a sausage than the other flavors.
