Just when you thought Marcona Almonds couldn't get any better...they've gone an fried them, skin-on, in extra virgin olive oil.  These suckers are dangerous.  Same price as the others, but with a slightly larger case pack 2/6.6#

For cheese this week, we wanted to tell you about Nevat, a soft-ripened cheese from Catalunya that is made in sheep and goat versions.  Pure white and shaped sort of like a giant melting snowball, Nevat is Catalan for "just snowed."   It ripens from the outside in leaving you with two textures:  oozy and unctuous near the rind and firmer and chalky at center.  A clean-flavored, elegant cheese, it is the creation of a single cheesemaker, Josep, who uses milk from his own herd and that of his neighbors.
