Illustrations by Danielle Brunner MarketDistrict.com Market District Newsletter: Sweet & Sappy! 7. Valentine’s with Rich Rosenberg, Buyer of All Things Decadent Well, at least three of them. This month, Rich is proposing the ultimate Valentine’s Day trifecta — Mascarpone (pronounced mas-car-pony), the now epic Iberico ham and classic Caviar with a little bubbly (which is a requisite, really, so needn’t be counted as part of the tremendous trio). OK, and a crusty loaf of our fresh-baked bread … and maybe some chocolate-dipped strawberries. That makes six, but who's counting? 1 Mascarpone Hailing from the enchanting Lombardy region of Italy, though made domestically around the world, Mascarpone is crafted simply from cow’s cream and citric or acetic acid. It is heated and strained through a finely woven cheesecloth, and what’s left is a 65%-75% butterfat cheese, which is angelic in both flavor and texture — the ultimate Cool Whip! Renowned for its role in Tiramisù, Mascarpone is a romance of flavors when mixed with anchovies, mustard and spices, and spread on the aforementioned fresh-baked, crusty bread — Mamma Mia!! We have two versions, the first made devotedly by BelGioioso in Wisconsin. As experts in the crafting of true Italian cheeses, their authentic Mascarpone is lavished with rich flavor and highly desireable, 8oz., $5.99. We also carry Imported Gelmini Mascarpone, made for three generations on the banks of the Ticino River in Lombardy, Italy. Passionately crafted with only the freshest cream sourced from local cows, theirs is a fine example of this classic Italian cooking ingredient. As full-bodied as fresh cheeses come, its texture and flavor fall somewhere in-between thick whipped cream and butter — milky, creamy and sweet, 250 gr., $4.99. Then there is Burrata (boo-rot-ta), also made by BelGioioso. On the outside you’ve got your fresh Mozzarella, while inside is a mixture of doughy, stringy curd and fresh cream. Originally crafted in the Apulia region of Italy, Burrata is ardently fresh and made to be eaten immediately. Simply quarter, drizzle with Market District extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with fresh-ground black pepper, 8 oz., $8.99. 2 3 Rare 5J (Cinco Jotas) Pure Breed Iberico de Bellota One of the finest flavors on earth (says I), Iberico de Bellota is made from Pata Negra or black hoof pigs who graze on the acorns (“bellota”) that give this jamon its truly exquisite flavor. Tender, juicy and unspeakably delicious. Royal Oscietra Caviar 2.8-3.2 millimeters in size, Royal Oscietra, which comes only from sturgeons that are 9-11 years of age (so worth the wait), is dark to medium with warm amber shades. Its texture is velvety, firm and consistent, and its character is very creamy with an exceptionally complex flavor of butter and nuts. Delightful! 20gr., $99.99 ea.; 30gr., $139.99 ea.; 50gr., $229.99 ea. 8. Market District Newsletter: Sweet & Sappy! MarketDistrict.com Who’s Rich? “Le Grand Fromage,” Rich is a native New Yorker with 30+ years in the food industry. A founding employee at Macy’s Cellar and Dean & DeLuca, he has traveled the globe looking for great food on every continent except Antarctica. See back page for a $1 O F F coupon ! Day Trio! Rich’s Pairing Pick Veuve Clicquot Rosé A delightfully luscious, fruit-based bubbly, this wine has a luminous color with attractive pink glints. The nose is generous and elegant, with initial aromas of fresh red fruit (raspberry, wild strawberry, cherry, blackberry), leading to biscuity notes of dried fruits and Viennese pastries (almonds, apricots and brioche). The fresh first impression is followed by a fruity harmonious sensation on the palate, perfectly balanced, combining both elegance and flair.
