Balsamico Suite

This lovely balsamic vinegar, which is aged for 12 years, is a dense, sweet balsamic vinegar recommended by Herma for the above recipe.

Goldie’s Cask 18 Balsamic Vinegar

Also recommended by Herma is Goldie’s Cask 18 whose special quality of grape-must gives this balsamic a beautiful consistency which is aged to perfection.

Cheese Department

We have so many lovely cheeses from which to choose. Below are just a few that we feel would be fabulous on a late-summer cheese board or used in your favorite recipe.

Bleu d’Elizabeth from Quebec

 

Bleu d’Élizabeth is an organic cheese made from the milk of both Holstein and Jersey Cows. The unique taste and perfect salt balance make it the perfect blue cheese to crumble over your grilled peaches.
