SHAKERAG BLUE CHEESE Shakers blue cheese
Oxbow Cheese & Wine Merchant has a new cheese from the Sequatchie Cove Farm near Chattanooga Tennessee -- Shakerag Blue. This truly unique southern blue cheese is wrapped in local fig leaves that have been soaked in Tennessee whiskey for a 100 days or more. The whiskey-soaked fig leaves impart aroma and flavor to the cheese and seal in moisture, creating a beautiful creamy yet crumbly texture. Serve with savory accompaniments like salami and olives, or enjoy with fruit and honey. A big cheese as this pairs well with big full-bodied wines and bold beers. Very limited availability, so get a piece while you can!
Cook
EIKO'S MISO-GLAZED BLACK COD Eiko's sablefish
Sablefish, often marketed as black cod, is visually similar to a cod, but it is not actually a cod fish. Found in the North Pacific ocean from the Gulf of Alaska to northern Mexico, the sablefish grow up to three feet in length and can live to be over 90 years old. Black cod, often called butterfish, is a fatty fish, high in Omega-3s (comparable to salmon), which means it's very forgiving when it comes to cooking. That said, it is also very delicate and falls apart if you try to fry or grill, but steaming, broiling and roasting work well. Pick up fresh, miso-glazed cod at Eiko's seafood market for $26.95/lb.
JALAPENO OLIVE OIL  jalapeno olive oil
The new batch of jalape�o olive oil is hot off the press at The Olive Press. They crushed late harvest Mission olives with ripe jalape�os, resulting in a red, sweet 
olive oil with a spicy, true jalape�o flavor. Dip with bread, drizzle over salmon, chicken or steak. Delicious and simple brushed on summer corn on the cob!
SWEET TREATS FOR CARNEVALECa' Momi pastries
Celebrate the season of "Carnevale" like Venetians: with plenty of friends and sweet pastry. When it comes to Italian desserts, Ca' Momi has you covered: Stop in to pick up a selection at its kiosk, where they are sold by the pound. Fresh pastries are decadent enough for Fat Tuesday, but light enough for the days after.
