GOURMET NEWS MARCH 2018 www.gourmetnews.com FFS WRAP-UP 1 4 Widmer Cheese Cellars still makes Brick Cheese using the techniques passed down from the grand- father who started the company: buck- eting curd to fill the cheese molds, turn- ing each cheese the first day three times by hand, even press- ing the individual blocks of cheese with the same masonry bricks used in 1922. In addition to the pungent and earthy Washed Rind Brick Cheese, Widmer's also offers a Mild Brick Cheese, shelf- cured for three days rather than the 7 to 10 days required to develop the deeper earthiness of the aged variety. It is then vacuum sealed so it continues to de- velop more flavor over time. Widmer has also updated this classic with the addition of jalapeño peppers to make its Pepper Brick Cheese. They're available in (2-5#), (2-2.5#) or (10-1#) cases for a suggested retail price of $12.99 per pound.

Montebello Packaging 866.622.5124 www.montebellopkg.com Food and Beverage Packaging Transport your customers to the northern region of Italy simply by stocking your shelves with Stonewall Kitchen's new Saffron Risotto. Dat- ing back to ancient times, saffron is known for its sweet, aromatic flavor and distinctive, orange hue, which gives this dish its golden color and deli- cate taste. It's the perfect flavor pairing for rich, creamy risotto made from Arborio rice, savory garlic and a few pantry items. Start by sautéing onions in butter before adding the mix to the pan, toasting the rice along with the fragrant spices. Then pour in water or chicken stock and cook, stirring occa- sionally, until all the liquid is ab- sorbed. The end result is perfectly tender risotto that makes an excellent side dish, an elegant meal or a delicious base on which to pile mushrooms, scallops or chicken. For a truly authentic finish, add a generous sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.
