The good, the bad, and the ugly. . .news.

We received our order from the east coast on Monday evening. We are stocked full of olives and olive oil, sweet and hot paprika, fig cakes, orange cakes, lemon cakes, saffron, sherry vinegar and even cava vinegar. We also have artichoke hearts from Spain and piquillo peppers. Marcona almonds and the wildly addictive chocolate almonds too.
What did not get here was the Biellese items. Our box got overlooked and will be out next week. To make matters worse the hot sopressata and the basque were not ready yet and did not make it into our box. Our friends at Biellese are trying to figure out how to get product to us quickly and cost effectively. In the mean time we are really happy with what did come in especially the cheese. We have Beaufort, Comte Ft. Lucotte, Fleur de Maquis, the 5yr aged Gouda, Chimay Grand Cru cheese (really great with beer) and Maytag blue. We will be posting what we received from Biellese when it actually gets here. Stay tuned.
