3. DB White Truffle Cream • As creamy as it is rare, a dollop of intoxicating white truffle cream takes a pasta dish straight to Cloud 9.

4. DB Black Truffle Cream • Black truffles are everything that is funky, sexy, and decadent. Stuff into ravioli or mix with butteror cream for an unforgettable sauce.

5. Jacobsen’s Salts • Based in Oregon and harvested responsibly from the rich bounty of the Pacific, these salts will change your perspective on the power of a good sprinkleof seasoning.

6. Newkirk Wildflower Honey • Straight from the hives of rural PA, this small honey producer manages to maintain the purity and simplicity of honey while imparting great flavor and a dense and complicated profile.

The Alps are the largest mountain rangesystem in Europe, stretching through such prime cheese-making countries as France, Germany, and Switzerland. All summer, small herds of cattle graze the lush, grassy mountains. Their sweet, herbaceous milk is then collected by cooperatives of dairy farmers and transformed, using traditional, centuries-old methods, into notoriously large wheels of cheese.

Alpine cheeses are loved by cheesemongers for their consistent quality and complex flavor. They also melt mighty well so if you’re looking to fondue or create amazing grilled sandwiches, you’ll want to go with an Alpine. Rich in history, teamwork, excellence of terroir, and of course flavor, we all go Alp-wild for this family of cheese!
