Make An Award-Winning Cheeseboard
The Academy Awards are this Sunday, March 8th, and that means it’s time to prepare a gourmet spread that’s worthy of the special event. Create a mouthwatering charcuterie board with Cypress Grove Humboldt Fog as the star of the show. Humboldt Fog is a handcrafted soft-ripened goat milk cheese that has a ribbon of edible vegetable ash in the center and surrounding rind. While the vegetal ash is nearly tasteless, the cheese permeates with flavors of fresh cream, a mild tanginess, light floral notes and a citrus finish. Pair Humboldt Fog with aged cheddar, brie, camembert and gruyere for a delectable cheeseboard. Add premium sliced meats, like mortadella, prosciutto, salami and serrano ham, dried fruits, nuts, and honey to create an irresistible charcuterie board.

Get Nutty for Pistachios
Calling all pistachio lovers, today, February 26th, is National Pistachio Day. Pistachios have a long history, first being cultivated in the Middle East over thousand years ago and arriving in the United States around the 1880’s. Called the “smiling nut in the Middle East and “happy nut” in China, pistachios are one of the most popular nuts for snacking, due to their unique flavor and nutrition. They’re low in calories and high in protein, about 6 grams of protein per a 1 ounce serving. Pistachios are rich with potassium, fiber, vitamin B6 and natural antioxidants. They’ve been shown to improve overall gut health and heart health. Not just for snacking, pistachios are great mixed into salads, crumbled on oatmeal or toast, and makes for a delicious crust for salmon and chicken when crushed. Stop by Bianchini’s today to pick up one of our resealable tubs of pistachios and be sure to check out our recipe collection for even more delicious pistachio ideas.

Perfectly Crunchy Tortilla Chips
Celebrate National Tortilla Chip Day is Saturday, 2/24, with your favorite dip or sauce and a bag of Bianchini’s House Made Tortilla Chips. We hand cut and fry our tortilla chips in small batches, ensuring that they’re perfectly crisp with a satisfying crunch The tortilla chip has a fun history that dates back to the 1940’s. Rebecca Webb Carranza and her husband had an automated tortilla manufacturing machine for their Mexican delicatessen and tortilla factory in southwest Los Angeles. Rebecca noticed that misshapen tortillas were discarded by the machine, and not wanting to have them go to waste, decided to cut them into triangles and fry them. The triangular snacks were sold for a dime per bag and became a hit at the El Zarape Tortilla Factory. For her contributions to the Mexican food industry, Rebecca was awarded the Golden Tortilla in 1994.
Try one of our nacho recipes to pair with Bianchini’s house made chips for National Tortilla Chip Day.
