Casa Del Caciocavallo hand stretched cheese now available

Posted on by

Regional Access is delighted to add another unique, high quality, beautifully packaged NYS made cheese to our offerings! Made right in the Hudson River Valley from raw local milk. Read more even more about the Destefano family and process here: http://www.hvmag.com/Blogs/The-Accidental-Foodie/March-2011/Artisanal-Cheese-Casa-Del-Caciocavallo/

And don’t forget, it’s in stock and ready to ship!!

Casa Del Caciocavallo was founded by Freddy and Christina Destefano, and officially opened their doors in 2003. The idea for the company came from Maria Destefano (Freddy’s mother) due to the fact that she had been making this particular cheese for over 34 years by hand, using the same recipe. Eventually they wanted to make the cheeses available to every body and opened the company to make this happen.

Caciocavallo is a semi-hard, stretched-curd cheese.  It is made from either sheep’s or cow’s milk.  It has a milky texture and a flavor like that of mozzarella, but it has a sharpness that is a little stronger than provolone. The curd is melted and pressed into a single mass and is stretched to achieve proper texture, elasticity, and appearance. Once it is pulled it is rolled around the cheese maker’s hand to develop peel-able layers within the ball. The ball is formed into a gourd shape and is cooled. It then rests in a brine and subsequently will be dried, then aged for several months.

The return of seasonally available pastured local lamb

Posted on by

Its back! Hallelujah and just in time for the holidays. Give your sales rep a buzz to see what cuts are available this week, and remember many unique and hard to find cuts can be special ordered and custom cut for you at the next slaughter date.

Nistock Farm lambs are raised on pastures in Bath, NY and minimally supplemented with a grain ration based on corn and oats also grown on the farm. The lambs do receive lambhood vaccinations and deworming agents when needed to protect the health of the flock, but they are not given any growth hormones, or fed antibiotics or unnatural feed additives.

Nistock trailer’s their lambs to the processing facility themselves to ensure the safety and comfort of the animals. They use only Grizzly’s in Hunt, NY to process the lambs. They are a fully USDA inspected facility and do a careful, professional job and are a pleasure to work with. Slaughter is accomplished quickly and humanely.

We love upstate New York. Almost as much as these sheep do.

The arrival of Adirondack Grazers Cooperative beef

Posted on by

For all of my fellow beef enthusiasts out there, I am truly excited to introduce you to the Adirondack Grazers Coop…this is small scale, natural beef from an impassioned group of farmers dedicated to providing the highest quality 100% grassfed (and grain-finished, if you prefer) beef—all with absolute transparency. These family packs are part introduction, part enticement—stock your freezer for those cold months around the corner—be impressed by the farm and animal bios included in every box—but most of all revel in the superb flavor. I’m thinking: braised shanks, a hearty red and a warm fire…I can make it through winter.

This is beef as it should be…happy eating,
Dana

Fresh, Young Ginger from The Good Life Farm

Posted on by

Good Life ginger is harvested fresh and delivered to Regional Access the same day.  As a tropical plant grown in the much shorter season of the Northeast, it is a perishable product and is different than the cured ginger we generally find in the store.  Young ginger lends a flavor and freshness to dishes that surpasses cured ginger, as well as opening up more opportunities for culinary experimentation.  Consider trying it raw- grated into greens and root salads- cooked into vegetable dishes or in tea, ginger beer, glazes, sauces etc. Deliveries start the week of 10/01/12 so email mark@regionalaccess.netto reserve some today!
