Egremont Russet is a medium-sized apple. The flesh seems quite dry and gets drier with keeping - it is moist rather than juicy. Traditionally described as "nutty", the flavour is more delicate than most varieties, and quite sweet. Both the flavour and the soft flesh are reminiscent of a firm pear. Yet Egremont Russet is surprisingly versatile, working well in…
Popular in California, this variety is tart, juicy and great for fresh eating if you are looking for a lot of acidity, but would also be a great choice for that first apple pie of the season.
The skin is thin and the flesh is a light yellow-cream colour, and quite dense. It bites cleanly, but is firm rather than crunchy. The flavour is sweet and honeyed, noticeably sweeter than Cox's Orange Pippin. The aromatic complexity of its parent is still there, but rich sweetness is the predominant impression. Like many "English" style apples it is also…
Bright pink flesh; light pink blossoms. The fruit is crisp with a sweet/tart flavor, conical shape; skin is a creamy pale green. Parent is red-fleshed Surprise. This apple was the Etter Surprise hybrid singled out for patenting and official introduction in the mid 1940s. Good flavour but is very tart for a dessert apple; almost a cooker.
Medium-sized, somewhat flat red apple with greenish flesh that is stained red near the skin. It yields a juice that is classified as "ácida." Sangre de Toro is used mainly in cider production in Spain, but it is also sweet enough for fresh eating.
One of our favorite early season apples, great texture, flavor and plenty of sweetness. If you are looking for a sweeter apple, this is your best bet this week.
Sunburst is an attractive yellow-skinned apple with a pink hue which, in well coloured fruit, gives it an orange appearance. The pale white-yellow flesh is also tinged with pink to a greater of lesser degree. The light, crisp flesh is juicy and has a very good level of sweetness, while the flavour is interesting and pronounced, said to variously resemble…
Arrowroot powder is an excellent thickening for delicate sauces and soups, or sauces that need to be cooked at low temperature such as dairy or egg based sauces. Arrowroot is a nutritious and easily digestible starch.
Stella Aged Asiago maintains the slightly sweet, smooth nuttiness of it's younger version, but is much more robust and sharp in taste. Serve as a table cheese or grated over pasta's and salads, this cheese is a winner.
The process is simple: the entire duck breast is rubbed with salt and sugar, smoked over real wood chips—no artificial liquid smoke or flavors are used—and then thinly sliced. The shingles may be a little smaller than traditional bacon, but they are thick and meaty with a rich, smoky flavor. According to USDA law, our natural bacon has to be…
This bacon is named for the hotel pans used to prepare it in professional kitchens. Hotel bacon is thicker that the standard 1/16 inch bacon slice, but still thin enough for a wide range uses – serve it alongside eggs, on top of a burger or wrap it around a filet mignon. Single-smoked over real applewood chips to ensure a…
