 Cheryl Walsh Bellville A nice, fresh egg should not splat all over your plate in a runny mess. A good egg will sit with dignity, according to Phil, perishables buyer at Bloomingfoods East. “Most eggs that you buy at a grocery store, they’ve been through one warehouse and another, and they might be a month old. Ours are a week old,” Phil said.
Phil said a high-quality egg should have three visible layers. That’s two layers of albumen and a perky golden yolk. Lisa Schelling, a Bloomingfoods East front end manager, enjoys Copper Creek eggs. “They have the nice bright yolks that I like to see. That means the eggs are fresh and the chickens are well-fed,” she said. Schelling also appreciates the fact that Copper Creek eggs are local. The 7.5 acre farm is located in Kokomo, Indiana. “I know I could check on the chicken conditions if I wanted to,” she said.

The East Store is delighted to announce that we now have in stock some delicious new cheeses. Consider: Istara’s P’Tit Basque This sheep's milk cheese may be small in stature, but it’s a terrific cheese. It is sweet and salty and pleasant on the tongue. As it melts it leaves a nice after taste. P’tit Basque is aged only about seventy days. It has a more yellow paste and lacks the complexity of its older, more mature “cousins”. It might be thought of as a “gateway” cheese…to introduce you to sheep cheese before graduating to the more flavorful and 'sheepy" Manchego. Wine Pairings: Bordeaux, Amontillado, Chateauneuf de Pape Beer Pairings: Amber ales, Pilsner
