Some of the SOFI (Specialty Outstanding Food Innovation) Award winners are now at Country Butcher:

• Specialty pointed knifes will break up that Stilton into consumable pieces and
  accomplish the same with aged cheddars, Parmesans, and pecorinos–any hard,
  firm, or crumbly cheese. A narrow-bladed knife cleanly slices pieces from blocks
  of semisoft and semi firm cheeses such as Brie, Camembert, or Gruyere. Awide-bladedknife works the same for soft, crumbly cheeses. Accompanied by a serving fork, the four knives each feature a stainless-steel blade shaped for a specific type of cheese.

 

• New Italian pasta cuts including squid ink pasta, croxetti (hand stamped pasta)*, and farro pasta (a hearty, nutty, low gluten pasta):

• Traditional Squid Ink Pasta

Thin-cut tagliolini pasta with a ‘deep sea’ green –almost black- hue,

due to the addition of squid ink is a centuries’-old Mediterranean favorite.This is the ideal sea food pasta - use it with sautéed seafood, and red and white sauces alike.

• Pannocchie (Waves of Grain) Pasta

A pasta cut unlike any other, it forms a 6-inch wavy, dense pasta "filet" that can be served whole, or broken into pasta corta (short pasta) of any length desired. Its thick texture holds red and white, thin and thick sauces; broken into pieces it can dress up minestrone or pasta in brood (broth).

• Monnezza Pasta ('Odds and Ends' Pasta)

This new kaleidoscopic mix of different pasta corta (short pasta) is both versatile and visually appealing. Artisan made with all-natural Italian wheat flour. Toss simply with red sauces or use to make a superb macaroni and cheese.

• Organic Bucatini Pasta

A new cut, this is a hearty version of a classic pasta, typical of central Italy.

Serve with your favorite red sauce or in Roman style: all’amatriciana.

Baccala (Salt Cod)
Great as is or as a Brandade (purée of salt cod, EVOO & milk...specialty of France, Italy and Spain).  An amazingly comfy and warming winter dish especially at Christmas time, since it's a part of many traditional dishes - serve the Bradade in  individual small bowls as a hot hors d'oeuvre or in a larger dish as an accompanying side. Delicious with shaved fresh black truffles or white truffle oil drizzled on top!
