Greetings
  

Suddenly Spring has arrived!  We at Quel Fromage wish you lengthening days of fresh air, friends, and beauty.  Do what you love, have fun, and eat something delicious while you're at it.  We would love to help you with that last one.  Perhaps you will begin with the delicious pizza recipe below, try grilling it if you'd like.  Pick up one of our picnic boxes for a sideline picnic or to eat on the ferry en route to a new adventure.  Chocolate, mustards, beer, cheese...the list goes on.  We'd love to see you in the shop soon.

Cheers,
Le Fromage Crew

Cheese

Fontina Vallet Pietro

This Italian Fontina is mild but interesting.  It is an excellent melting and snacking cheese.  In this family operation the cheese is made from milk from the cheese makers' brothers' cows.  It is unusual in the high mountain valleys that these cows graze on fresh grass, creating the subtle flavors in Fontina Vallet Pietro.  Find this cheese alongside other mountain cheeses in the cheese case at Quel Fromage.

Charcuterie

Lamb "Prosciutto"

from SALUMI

Armandino Batali has a lot to say about the creation of this product.  Passionate about meat curing, the man behind Seattle's  Salumi Artisan Cured Meats is particularly fond of lamb.  This seasonally available product is eagerly anticipated by lamb lovers and always sells out.  It is currently available at Quel Fromage and is featured on the recipe below.

Fromage A Go-Go

 Picnic in a Box

Yes, they're back - just in time for hiking, biking, boating soccer games, and lazing in the sun.  A $20.00 combination of cheese, baguette, fruit, chocolate and more, these to-go boxes happily feed two people.  Choose from three popular options: the Chuckanut (brie & honey), the San Juan (gruyere and tapenade), and the Mt. Baker (cheddar & salami).  We carry San Pellegrino, wine, and beer for a one stop picnic.  A Fromage A Go-Go can make a trip to the park or a drive down Chuckanut Drive extra special!
