The Fancy Food Show

The Fancy Food Show is like the fashion week of food. Gourmet brands and importers share their latest and award-winning, creative products with food industry professionals. It's jam-packed with deliciousness, everything from cheese to pickled vegetables to ketchup! It's a wonderful place to connect with others that share your similar passion for food. I was ecstatic to have met Cypress Grove's Mary Keehn, The Pt. Reyes Farmstead team, Karin from the Truffle Cheese shop, Natasha of Cool Haus, and Chef Nancy Silverton! While there was an abundance of tasty items, here are few of the many that caught my attention and taste buds:

Rogue Creamery's lavender cheddar

Perfectly floral and delicate.

Earl Grey rubbed cheese from Barely Buzzed

Sartori's Citrus Ginger Bellavitano

Herb Crystals

Adds texture and great flavor. I can see this used in sweet applications. 

Juicy, briny pickled figs

This on a cheese plate!

Blackberry Patch's berry ketchups.

Sooo good. It could be used to add pizazz to bbq sauces and would taste great in a grilled cheese sandwich. It's nice balance of sweet and tangy.

Yancey's Fancy's Grilled Bacon Cheeseburger Cheddar

 If you close your eyes, it's really like eating a grilled bacon cheeseburger. Flavors were spot on!

Vermont Creamery's new crème fraîche flavor, Madgascar Vanilla

A dessert on its own.

Jeni's Brown Butter Almond Brittle ice cream + fudge sauce. Pure Decadence!
