A little vino adventure on our Veni Voyage! 🍷🇮🇹 Dawn, Rachel & Sarah stopped by Franco Conterno in Northern Italy to sip, explore, and (very importantly) scout out some new favorites.
We already carry many of their wines at our Del Mar shop, but there’s always room in our hearts—and on our shelves—for something new. 🧀❤️🍷

September Cheese Lovers Club Accoutrement: Sweet Prince Tomatoes 🍅
These Sweet Prince tomatoes are summer in a tin—sweet, intensely flavorful, and packed in their own delicious oil to capture that peak-season tomato magic. Grown by organic farmers and developed with chefs for maximum flavor, they’re ready to turn even the simplest meal into something special.
Spoon them over mozzarella, pile them onto crusty garlic-rubbed bread, toss them with pasta and fresh herbs, or honestly… just open the tin and dig in. September may be here, but we’re not quite ready to say goodbye to tomato season.

Three hand-cut wedges of our featured fromage (roughly 1 pound total), PLUS an amazing accoutrement that pairs perfectly with the curated collection.

September Cheese Lovers Club Cheese #3: Kokos 🥥
Cheese and coconut might not be the pairing you expected, but that’s exactly what makes KoKos so much fun. Creamy Dutch Gouda is blended with organic coconut cream for a rich, subtly sweet cheese with a tropical twist.
It’s creamy, snackable, and just unusual enough to keep you coming back for another bite. Enjoy it on its own, pair it with fruit, or let it bring a little unexpected sunshine to your next recipe. Consider this your excuse to keep summer going just a little longer.

September Cheese Lovers Club Cheese #2: Nettle 🌿
Bright, fresh, and practically made for the last sunny days of summer, Nettle is a delicate cow’s milk cheese with a soft, crumbly texture and a clean, tangy flavor reminiscent of classic chèvre.
Each piece is hand-rolled in mint, garlic, salt, and tender nettle leaves, adding a fragrant garden-fresh quality and a gentle savory finish. Spread it on warm bread, crumble it over salads or roasted vegetables, and pair it with something crisp and refreshing. A little taste of the garden before we officially turn the page to fall.

September CLC Cheese #1: Panela
A staple of Mexican cuisine, Panela is a wonderfully fresh and mild cheese with a tender, milky flavor and a soft, springy texture. Its high moisture content makes it especially refreshing straight from the fridge, but it also holds up beautifully to heat—try it grilled, roasted, or baked until golden around the edges.
Cube it into salads, tuck it into sandwiches, or serve it alongside salsas and sauces. Simple, versatile, and ready for just about anything September throws at it.

August CLC Cheese #3: Venezia DOC Rosso
Once known as Ubriaco del Piave—literally, “drunken” cheese—this semi-hard cow’s milk cheese is one of the originals of the wine-washed style.
Aged for about four months, it is cured with the must of local red grapes, including Refosco, Raboso, Cabernet, and Merlot.
The wine gives the rind a deep, rustic character while adding subtle fruit and savory notes to the firm, pleasantly tangy paste. A little bit of wine country in every bite.

August CLC Cheese #2: La Leyenda with Brandy
Aged for a full year, this raw sheep’s milk cheese from La Mancha is rubbed with herbs before taking a little soak in Solera brandy.
Firm and slightly crumbly, La Leyenda is wonderfully buttery and nutty, with hints of dried fruit and a warm, raisiny finish. The brandy adds an extra layer of richness without overpowering the earthy character of the sheep’s milk.

August CLC cheese #1: Brie Grand Marnier 🥃
This decadent double-cream Brie takes indulgence to the next level. Two halves of creamy Brie are layered with velvety crème fraîche and mascarpone, then kissed with Grand Marnier for a subtle citrusy sweetness.
After four weeks of aging, the result is luxuriously soft, rich, and dessert-like, with just enough orange liqueur to keep things interesting.
