What's new on the Marketplace
Free bagels next week
We’re excited to let you know that we’re offering you two free bagels next week. Because we love you and because we’re thankful for your ongoing support, you’ll be able to add 2 free bagels to your next basket. And they're not just any bagels—they're from Montreal’s bagel institution St-Viateur. Don’t forget to customize your order! This time, they’ll come in a plastic bag to ensure freshness (we realized last time that kraft paper doesn’t work).
Olive oil & white balsamic vinegar
We’ve had Favuzzi olive oil on our Marketplace for a while now and many of us have adopted it. As of next week we’re bringing you an olive oil called Planeta with more intense aromas. I’ll let our Ahunstic neighbor tell you about it:
Complex oil with intense notes of green tomato, artichoke and seaweed, enhanced with a hint of citrus as well as exotic wood, fresh herbs and basil aromas.
The olive oil adventure began in 1999 when the Planeta family started to bottle what they used to produce for family consumption. Alessio, Francesca and Santi are themselves astonished by the highquality oil, becoming in a short time one of the reference points of extra-virgin olive oil. One of the secrets of the success of this oil, other than the care taken in every stage of its production, is the location of the press in the centre of the olive grove, which eliminates any delay between harvesting and processing.
White organic balsamic condiment
In addition to satisfying a growing demand from our customers, the Favuzzi line of organic balsamic vinegars is the expression of our desire to develop ecologically responsible products. In full compliance with the new PGI regulations controlling the production of balsamic vinegar of Modena, we created four balsamic vinegars of exceptional quality: clear, essential, indulgent and divine. They are a wonderful complement to our current product offering for consumers who are increasingly demanding and mindful of their food choices.
Not just spices
Another institution in the food industry, Joe Beef has come up with two wonderful mixes of salt and spices. You’ll be happy to find them on the Marketplace as of next week.
Butcher’s Blend
Joe Beef’s two co-owners, Frederick and David have created this blend of herbs, spices and salt to simplify home cooking. This robust blend is their own version of a Montreal classic. Excellent with steaks, roasts, burgers and more. Sprinkle generously after turning your piece.
Country Salt Blend
Use this tasty sea salt full of herbs and spices on anything you roast: vegetables, meat and fish.
New exotic varieties…of fresh herbs
You now know that Red Zebra, Cherokee Purple, and Striped German aren’t cartoon characters, but tomato varieties. Now you can find some other exotically-named (and delicious) veggies on the Marketplace: mizuna, Tokyo Bekana and Tsoy-sim. You’ll discover a wide range of other fresh herbs and greens from our partner Les Serres Lacoste on the Marketplace this week.
Enjoy!
