Considered a luxury food at this time, peaches were enjoyed mainly by the emperor and royalty. Over the centuries, the peach made its way around the world by way of trade and gifts. Eventually arriving on the American shores around the 1500’s thanks to the voyages of Christopher Columbus. And since that time, the popularity of peaches have been on the rise.

Let’s get saucy today and celebrate National Chicken Wing Day! Whether you love them hot and spicy or sweet and sticky, there are so many ways to sauce up your wings. National Chicken Wing Day was inaugurated on July 29th, 1977, in Buffalo, New York, the birthplace of buffalo wings. And ever since their creation, chicken wings have been a go-to snack for many. These yummy morsels got their start at the Anchor Bar in 1964, when Teressa Bellissimo decided to try a new snack to serve her hungry family and friends. She deep fried some chicken wings, slathered them in butter and tossed them in hot sauce, and the rest is history. Now the only question is, are you having drums or flats to celebrate? Browse our chicken wing recipe collection to try at home for National Chicken Wing Day.

We continue our tour of international cuisine in honor of the Olympic Games, by examining the differences between Greek and French Feta cheeses. Even though they have the same name, these two cheeses have a noticable difference in taste and texture. Greek Feta, the one most people are familiar with, is normally made with sheep’s milk or a combination of sheep and goat milk. It has a salty profile with a slight tang and sour aftertaste. Greek Feta is on the softer side with a crumbly texture. Most commonly used on salads and in pastas, to add a hint of salt to the dish. While French Feta delivers just as much taste and texture as its Greek counterpart. Typically made with sheep’s milk, French Feta has a milder, less tangy flavor with a softer, creamier texture. Its softer texture allows the cheese to spread easier, making it perfect for pairing with crackers. Bianchini’s has a large selection of international and domestic cheeses, along with a wide range of wines for pairing. Browse our feta recipe collection for menu inspiration and find what you need to create international dishes in our store.
