You've tried Widmer's earthy Washed Rind Brick Cheese. Now it is time to try the mild and mel- low brick cheese, that is still shelf- cured, but for three days rather than the aged variety's seven to 10 days. It is then vacuum sealed, building more and more flavor with time. It has been the favorite cheese for sand- wich artists and is used to make the best grilled cheese sand- wiches on the planet. Available in 2/5-pound, 4/2.5 pound or 10/1-pound.

This product is made exclusively with organ- ically farmed grapes, without pesticides in- volved. The entire pro- duction process is certified in order to guarantee consumers compliance with the highest organic farm- ing standards, guaranteed by the CCPB certifying body. To make the vinegars, the grape must, cooked over a direct heat in an open vessel, simmers slowly and is concentrated until it is reduced to about one third of its original volume. It is then placed in the attic, in a series of casks of oak wood. Here the balsamic vinegar passes the years acidify- ing and aging until it has reached a bal- ance that only the alchemy of time can provide, prodded along by the master- ful hands of artisans. This balsamic is naturally dark and dense, with a 5 per- cent acidity content. Add some over strawberries or on your fa- vorite salad to add complexity.
