It reminds of a lifetime of sharing good food, drink, and ideas.
It's the time when we all take a step back from our daily madness and reflect.
Those of you who know me, know that I love to share food, and I have been so lucky in this life that other love to share our food, as well.
All of our retailers are are passionate about La Natura Fine Foods - and it comes from the love that we put into it.
This week I received a call from the the finest purveyor of cheeses in Durham region - Tammy Miller of the Country Cheese Company. She and her team tasted our food at The Great Canadian Cheese Festival in Prince Edward County this past June and wanted it in her shop; well they got it this weekend.
I went to drop their first delivery yesterday … and I could barely get the boxes open before we sold a half-case of product; literally.
As soon as I was able to actually get into the shop, I was floored by their selection of cheeses.
My all time favourite, Zamorano, was prominently displayed.
As much as I enjoy dropping off deliveries to my customers … especially new ones, I also love purchasing quality food from them. And did I ever dig into their selection.
They have some seriously aged Goudas that look like Beemster, but since everyone else sells Beemster these days, Tammy brought in Goudas that are a notch above.
I picked up some Goat Feta from Crosswind Farm … Cindy Hope is a great cheese maker and La Natura friend and customer.
As well as some Mahon (from Menorca) and some local Sheep Gouda made by Gunn's Hill's own Shep Ysselstein.
And since I am going to visit a good friend tonight, I picked up some Evelyn's Crackers - another local food colleague that I met at The Great Canadian Cheese Festival in 2012. Ed's a great guy!
Country Cheese Company reminded me of another great local cheese shop, Nancy's Cheese, which is very close to my home. Nancy sells a very exclusive selection of cheese as well as other fine grocery items such as La Natura Fine Foods.
Walking into Country Cheese in Ajax reminded me of why I do what I do.
Make really good food for people to enjoy during the best of times.
We will be out sampling a a couple of more times before Christmas … maybe more, but right now we will be at McEwan Foods (The Shops of Don Mills - at Lawrence Ave. E.) on December 8 and 21 from noon until 5 p.m. both days.
All of our food is Vegan, Nut Free, and Gluten Free.
The team at La Natura Fine Foods wishes all of you a very, very happy Christmas … Chanukah … and whatever else you love to celebrate … especially New Year!
