OCTOBER 2005 NEWSLETTER
Fall Festival Time
A big thank you to all of you who stopped by our booth at Richmond's Original
Italian Festival October 8-9. Richmonders showed a real appreciation for
our offerings; the queue was 20 deep all day long, and we ran out of food
at 4:30 on Saturday. The following weekend, we were at the Williamsburg
Italian Festival in the pouring rain. Allegria! We'd love to hear about
any other local church or school festivals where we might set up a booth.

New Products
This month, we have a wonderful selection if fresh and aged cheeses from
the Caseificio dell'Alta Langa, a producer of artisan cheeses from the
Piedmont region:
- Bocconcini: this means "mouthfuls," and it's a delightfully creamy goat cheese with a soft rind. $2.89 /2.5-oz pkg
- Caprino: a fresh, soft, goat cheese that is quite spreadable. $4.75/5-oz pkg
- Cravanzina: a soft-rind cheese made from sheep and cow milk. It's very creamy with a mild taste. $7.50/8.8-oz pkg
- Pecorino fresco: Aged 15-20 days. Milder than the aged pecorino, it's a great acompaniment to red wines. Cut to order at $12.75/lb
- Semi-aged Pecorino: Aged 2 months, it has a sharper flavor than the fresh pecorino. The rind is rubbed with tomato, giving it a nice red coloring. Cut to order at $15/lb
We also have some rich and fruity 6-year-old and 12-year-old balsamic vinegars ($15 and $19, respectively) that are great to drizzle on shaved parmesan cheese, sliced tomatoes and avocado, or broiled fish. And don't miss our new assortment of Racconti di Liguria flatbreads and breadsticks in Classic, Rosemary, and Olive flavors for $2.75/pkg.
