Our Favorite Accompaniments

la panzanella croccantini crackers

La Panzanella Croccantini
(original or rosemary)
Our favorite go-to cracker for every cheese or spread. Has the best texture, a perfect crunch, and the slightest hint of salt.  Made in Seattle.

divina fig orange sour cherry spreads

Crafted from Aegean figs, these classic Mediterranean spreads are rich and complex with notes of honey and caramel. The cherry spread has a bold, fruit-forward flavor.
