Point Reyes Blue seems to pair well with warm weather. It’s sweet and fudgy with a crisp, grapey sharpness and just a little peppery tingle on the finish. My friend Tracy says, “It’s like an evening on a catamaran.” She says she can taste the Pacific.

Avenues, all lined with cheese… We here at Di Bruno bros on Chestnut know that summertime is a time when many of our regular customers will seek out some of the more delicate selections from our case. The hot weather tends to make a cheese lover look for the tangy, brighter flavor of a fresh [...]

Grana Padano, which costs a third of the price and still tastes like joy itself. Grana Padano looks a lot like Parm. It’s dry and crumbly with a fruity smell and golden color. What’s the difference?

10Wild caught rock lobster tails, also known as spiny lobster, have just arrived at our seafood department at our Rittenhouse location. This crustacean, which is not seen as a true lobster due to its lack of large front claws, is still practically the same in flavor and texture, albeit the meat being a little more delicate and sweet.

Renata is actually a Brown Swiss Cow, one of the three cows that cheesemaker Sally Jackson milks at her farm in Oroville, Washington. I first read about her cheeses [...]

20Last Friday Benton’s Country Hams accidentally sent us 5 pound packs of pre-sliced bacon instead of the 1 pound pre-sliced packs we usually receive. Now, we could have sent them back with an expense to the fine folks at Benton’s and a longer drought of their bacon in our shop. Instead, as we like to [...]

Lets get right to the fun stuff: Saison d’Ete with Ticklemore: This Saison had all the characteristics we expected, and many we did not. The usual notes of yeast and lemon [...]

Fegley’s Brew Works have been producing world class beer in the Lehigh Valley since 1998, but have only been bottling for wholesale since 2009. Only in the last year have their beers show up on Philadelphia taps, but we predict that once they get firmly established, they are going to take off. Brewmaster Beau and [...]

23It went well, especially the parts that Di Bruno did! We had about 40 people over the course of the evening. We have a small house in Mt. Airy, so it was pretty packed! The spring rolls went FAST, and most of the quiches were eaten. Next time, way more spring rolls. We had some [...]
