Good morning! We have so much to pack into this week's newsletter that there's no time to waste! Let's get right to it starting with a bunch of new items from our Dairy Department.
If you drink milk then you're probably thinking that milk is milk is milk. I mean, aside from lactose free versus regular milk, it's all pretty much the same, right? Wrong! Introducing new Fairlife Milk. This is next generation milk...ultrafiltered, lactose free with 50% MORE protein (14g per 250ml serving) and 50% LESS sugar (6g per 250ml serving) than regular milk. It's like super milk! And it contains more calcium, too (370mg per serving). Basically they take the five components of milk (water, minerals, lactose, protein and fat) and separate them using five different filters. They they recombine the ingredients to create their ultrafiltered, yet still natural, milk! Magnificent! Marvelous! Matchless! Set this new moo juice loose!
We are always trying to expand on dairy products that are made from grass fed cows. So good news because not only have we added Donia Farms Grass Fed Unsalted Butter, it also happens to be made from milk from a South Surrey, BC farm! This butter is 84% butterfat and because the cows have a silage free diet, the flavour imparted to this butter is outstanding! And it's less money than the other imported brand that we previously stocked.
If you like process cheese but find that it just isn't doing it for you anymore then perhaps you need to try Sonoma Jacks Gourmet Cheese Wedges. These are individually wrapped servings of delicious monterey jack processed cheese that make awesome additions to your lunch box! Pair with a Triscuit or any cracker for a quick and easy snack!
However, if you prefer a more traditional cheese, but are still looking for something that you can take as an on-the-go snack, then you're going to want to try these two new additions to our Dairy. Natrel Lactose Free Cheddar Portions and IOGO Nano Mozzarella Portions are just the ticket for kids and adults alike! Easy to open and perfectly portioned for snacking, everyone will want to find these in their lunch kits!
Batman and Robin. Kirk and Spock. Rocky and Bullwinkle. All famous duos. Now Pepper's has another soon to be famous (or as the label says, "World Famous in Canada") duo as we introduce Haupy's Beaver Rub (Original and Spicy) and Haupy's Moose Rub (Original and Maplesque) seasonings. We've carried Haupy's Beaver Rub for some time but only the original variety so now we have the complete lineup. Not only can you use these mixtures to spice up swamp donkeys and marsh rodents but you can use them on just about anything! Try these uniquely Canadian rubs but have some fun and use your imagination!
As if those rubs weren't spicy enough, how about bringing the heat to your pasta sauce? Mezzetta Homemade Spicy Marinara Sauce is imported plum tomatoes from Italy’s San Marzano region and California plum tomatoes blended with imported olive oil, fresh garlic, fresh basil, oregano, spices and crushed chili peppers. This is the sauce that may very well change your life.
And finally, when meat isn't an option but you just have to crush a burger, Cardinal Roadhouse Veggie Burgers are in order. These high protein veggie burgers combine quality soy protein with a veggie blend and are seasoned to perfection. Who cares that BBQ season is over (is it ever really over in Victoria?)? Pick up a pack of these Canadian veggie burgers and fix yourself a healthy and hearty meal!
That's all for this week, folks. Just a reminder that Terra Breads will be in-store this Thursday and Friday (Sept. 20 & 21) sampling their yummy granola from 3pm-5pm each day! Make sure to stop by and give it a try. Happy Autumn!
