    We have stocked our wine racks full of wines from all over the world. From still to sparkling to Port, these wines will meet your holiday needs at any price range. We have Champagnes from Epernay, Reims,and Aube, France, We also have a few Cremants from Bordeaux (these are a must try!), as well as sparklers from Argentina, South Africa, and Spain.

    We also have some new beers in house. We are the first to bring "The Lost Abbey" to Walla Walla. The Lost Abbey is a side project from the boys at Port Brewing in San Marcos, California. If you haven't tasted this yet - they are doing some very exciting and very untraditonal things with beer.

    Our wine selection spans the globe with wines from all over the world. We have some new large format bottles that make great gifts and are perfect to pour at your family holiday meal. Come in and take a look at the bottles we have in stock!


    Cheese
    Parmigiano Reggiano

    For those of you that were able to attend our special Parmesan cutting just after Thanksgiving, thank you! For those of you who were not able to make it, we still have some of the wheel available for purchase. If you haven't tried this yet, now is the time to come in and get some before it disappears until next year.

    We still have one wheel of Rogue River Blue - this is another that once it is gone, it is gone until next year.

    We have also recently cut into another Isle of Mull Cheddar. This one has been aging in our Cheese Closet for an extra long time, as part of our extended aging program. This is a wild and exciting cheese, with robust flavors, yet still subtle and complex. This one is a MUST try.

    This time of year marks a very unique and special time to treat yourselves, your guests and your family to some exciting seasonal cheeses, come in and see what we have.


    Meats
    Newsoms Ham

    We have just brought in something truly extraordinary!! A HAND-MADE product, one of the last of its kind in America.

    "A product widely known by many food editors and connoisseurs, this aged ham is among the last of its kind -- a "lost art" to which the commercialized methods of today cannot compare. The curing method was obtained from an old family will dating to the 1770s."

    We are lucky enough to have three Newsom's Country Hams for the holidays. We have been slicing one in-store like a European Bone-in Jamon. Please come in to try a taste - you won't be disappointed. This is a great item to have in your home for holiday snacking on or even for light breakfast on Christmas or New Year's morning. We also have a few other Newsom's products that you just have to come in to find out more.

    Also, Salumi of Seattle has just introduced something new - and we are lucky enough to have some for the holidays. Their Agrumi is seasoned with a little hot pepper and citrus. We love it and we think you will too!


    Olive Bar & Olive Oil

    We have just added a bunch of new olives to our olive bar, including some from North Africa. Come in and try a few - these are great treats to have on hand during the holidays!

    We also just received some great new Olive Oils that are a must try. And, we have just taken stock of the first of this year's Olio Novellos. Olio Novello, or New Oil, is the first pressing of the Olive Oil from each year's harvest. Usually bottled with in a day of the first pressing, some are bottled with in hours! Many of you tried some of the Oilo Novellos last year - this year is sure to be an even better crop.


    Salt Bar
    himalayan sea salt

    The salt bar is full once again! We have stocked up on some of your favorite cooking and finishing salts as well as a great selection of salt-cellars to hold them in! A salt cellar filled with a selection of salts could not be the more perfect gift for that cooking enthusiast on your list this year!


    Holiday Treats
    Panforte

    We recently just got in some amazing Pannetone and Panforte from Italy. Pannetone is a rich, eggy, holiday bread and is great to have around the house for the holidays when you need a little pick-me-up. Panforte is a holiday bread that is dense, loaded with nuts and chocolate, very similar to the fig cake that we always have in stock. The Panforte is a great after-dinner treat to enjoy with your holiday spirits or a glass of Port. There is limited stock of both so grab your's soon!


    What's In Store...

    If you haven't been in the store during the week you are missing out on a well kept secret, we have been cooking. We are currently offering some hot meals during the week to have in-store or take back to the office. Selections change every week, so come in often. We also will be offering prepared food to take home to your family and guests. Some items that you might find is our "not yet world famous" macaroni and cheese, homemade Miso soup, and many other tasty treats. And we will also have our famous Cantucci (small biscotti) in store in December.


    Thank You!

    2007 has been a great year here at Salumiere Cesario. The store has changed dramatically since January. We have doubled our wine selection, added a refrigerated case and even a few new employees. We have added many new items, both food and non food. We have been able to bring to Walla Walla more great products from all over the world. And none of it would have been possible with out your continued support. Thank you to all of you who have helped make our little store what it is. We hope that 2008 will be as successful for us as well as all of you. Cheers.


    Cheers!
