    ​We recently stopped by the Fab Ferments Tap Room in Lockland to check out the space, try some kombucha on tap (which is a totally different experience than in the bottle, by the way), and chat with Jordan, one of the duo behind all things Fab Ferments.

    Comments Off on Pittig 4 Year Gouda – This Cheese Is SO Gouda!
    ​This Dutch Gouda is one of the more unique that we carry. At 4 years old, the flavor profile is genuinely surprising, and nothing like what you think it would be. With a caramel colored appearance, it has a creamy, robust flavor with hints of butterscotch, a bit of sweetness, and just enough bite to remind you that it has been aging for at least 4 years.

    Comments Off on Discoveries at the Jungle Condiment Month: Mae Ploy Sweet Chili Sauce from Thailand, Mrs. H.S. Balls Chutney from South Africa, and Cento Balsamic Ketchup from Italy

Thanks to everyone who waited patiently as we dealt with some technical difficulties. We think the wait was worth it, though. Until next time! Read article
