Marzolino
Marzolino is a fresh sheep's milk cheese, made in the Tuscan tradition of producing fine spring cheeses, when the milk is at its most mild and floral. With sweet undertones and an ivory-colored paste, this cheese captures the essence of a Tuscan reawakening, originating in the farming town of Mugello, where Il Forteto produces its cheeses. Great when melted or accompanied by similarly mild flavors.

Terre Verde Texas Olive Oil
A floral, almost fruity oil that is perfectly balanced and suited to all types of food and salads and great for dipping. This Oil took home a Silver Medal this year in the Los Angeles International Extra Virgin Olive Oil Competition in its category.

Lomo Iberico de Bellota
The leanest of the cuts, Lomo is the loin of the pig which is cured 90 days and produced with paprika, as is customary in Spain. It is pink with some marbling of fat and a layer of fat around the edge. The only purebred loin in the U.S. market.
Bellota (acorn) means the pigs have been on the plains eating acorns for the last 3 or 4 months of their lives and when they reach the desired weight for slaughter have not eaten any other grains.
