Mediterranean Escape Tasting Guide

Celebrate the rich culinary traditions of Spain, Italy, and Greece with a selection that highlights the essence of each region’s unique taste. From truffle-infused richness to aromatic herbs and spices, this box brings together the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean.

A Message From Our Curators:

We work with small-scale artisans to bring you premium tasting experiences. Due to limited production from these artisans, our curators create several variations of each spread and items in each box may vary.

Our tasting guide includes all the items handpicked by our curators, though not every item will be found in your box. Since premium meats and cheeses take months to age, we can't always restock select ingredients to meet demand, meaning this guide may also grow and change over time.

This approach ensures you enjoy the finest, hand-selected artisanal products. There are endless possibilities for creating exceptional flavor pairings, so rest assured whichever variation you receive will be as thoughtful and delicious as the next!

Artisan Cheese

Delight in these exquisite cheeses, each crafted with unique regional flavors.

Each box medium box includes 2 cheeses and a free brie. Larges include 3 cheeses and a free brie.

The Truffle Kid

Hailing from Spain, this cheese is made from rich Murciana goat's milk. As the cheese ages, it’s pierced to introduce black truffle paste, creating its distinctive marbled look. The rind is also coated with truffle paste, giving the cheese a bold, earthy aroma and a creamy, garlicky taste. Native to the Mediterranean region, truffles are highly sought after because of their distinctive, complex flavor, rarity, and labor-intensive harvesting. Every bite of this cheese is a taste of luxury. 

Wooly Wooly® Black Truffle

This aged sheep’s milk cheese from Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, offers the buttery, nutty profile of Manchego with an added depth from black truffles embedded in both the rind and paste. These truffles infuse the cheese with earthy umami notes, enhancing its familiar tang and creating a stunning marbled appearance.

Howling Hound Black Truffle Cheddar

This cheddar, made using a 90-year-old traditional recipe, is aged for up to 12 months to develop a rich depth of flavor and smooth texture. Flecked with European Black Truffles, it combines the creamy, savory notes of aged cheddar with the earthy, umami richness of truffles. The truffles are authentically hunted, adding a gourmet touch to this award-winning cheese.

Alisos

Originating from Spain's Canary Islands, Alisios combines cow and goat’s milk into a firm cheese with a striking red-orange rind coated in Pimentón—a Spanish spice made from dried, ground red peppers otherwise known as Paprika. Aged for 90 days, it delivers a smooth, mildly tangy flavor with rich, toasty, and spicy-sweet notes.

Wooly Wooly® Diablo

This aged sheep’s milk cheese from Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, is made from fresh milk using traditional methods and matured for five months to develop a rich, buttery flavor with a hint of tang. Marbled with mojo picón, a traditional Spanish hot pepper sauce, it offers a vibrant, spicy kick that complements its natural creaminess.

KM 39

KM 39 is a golden cheese named after its location along Spain’s Camino de Santiago, a historic pilgrimage route. Made from the milk of pasture-fed cows, this cheese matures for 18 months, developing a granular texture with delightful crunchy crystals. The complex flavor profile includes rich notes of pineapple, caramel, and toasty chestnut, reflecting the unique terroir and artisanal methods used in its production.

Charcuterie

Experience the savory depth of expertly seasoned meats made with traditional curing methods.

Each box medium box includes 2 meats. Larges include 3 meats.

Rigani Loukaniko

This meat showcases the distinctive spices and techniques of Greek charcuterie. The Greek-style salami combines premium pork leg, shoulder and fatback with fresh garlic, oregano, and orange zest. Handcrafted using traditional methods and live molds, it offers a firm texture and aromatic flavor profile.

Applewood Smoked Speck

Unlike other cured meats, speck combines the Alpine tradition of smoking with dry curing, resulting in a unique depth of flavor. Crafted with Heritage Berkshire pork, this dry-cured speck is cold smoked over applewood, which imparts a distinctive smoky flavor and rich, earthy undertones. Inspired by Italian traditions, it offers a savory taste that pairs perfectly with the Mediterranean flavors in our spread.

Coppa

Crafted from the shoulder and neck of Heritage Berkshire pigs, this coppa offers a rich, meaty flavor with an incredibly tender texture. The careful curing process combines the techniques of prosciutto and salami, resulting in a distinctive charcuterie experience that highlights the deep, savory taste of this premium cut.

Accompaniments

Enhance your tasting experience with these thoughtfully selected accompaniments, designed to balance the rich cheeses and charcuterie.

Each box includes 1 spread and 2 accompaniments.

Peach Prosecco Sparkling Jam

Handcrafted in small batches, this Peach Prosecco Jam blends the natural sweetness of ripe peaches with the subtle acidity of Prosecco. Inspired by the classic Italian Bellini cocktail, this vibrant spread adds a refreshing summer twist to your spread, enhancing savory cheeses and charcuterie with its bright, tangy notes.

Roasted Pistachios

Pistachios have been grown and enjoyed in the Mediterranean for centuries. These emerald gems bring in a rich, nutty flavor and crunchy texture which complements the savory, salty flavors in cheeses and cured meats.

Chocolate Covered Cranberries
