Smoked Mozzarella Artisan Cheese from Emerald Valley Farm

There's a new vendor at the Whitehall Farmer's Market and they are selling one of our favorite things ... cheese!  The Emerald Valley Farm makes artisan "old world style" aged cheeses.  Their cheeses don't have any added hormones, food colorings or preservatives, gluten or binders.  And best of all, they taste good!  They were giving out samples of their cheeses at the Farmers Market, and this smoked mozzarella was our favorite.

Armello's Pizza Crust and Fontana's Pizza Sauce - Vandergrift, PA

We went to the Whitehall Farmers Market on Monday and stopped by the Callifonte Foods booth to buy a jar of Fontana's Pizza Sauce and a package of two Armello's Italian Bakery pizza crusts.  (I also bought cookies from Happy Jack Bakery and some incredible blueberries - I'm going to get there early next week so I can be sure to get a double batch!)

Fontana's sauce is thick and rich, deep red in color and slightly sweet.  Armello's pizza crust comes in a package of two.  They are charmingly uneven, and when cooked are chewy in the center and crisp on the edges - just the way I like it.  Armello's pizza crust now comes in whole wheat - I can't wait to try that next week!

Whitehall Farmers Market

Tonight was the the season kickoff of the Whitehall Farmers Market which relocated to Caste Village this year - and it was a good choice of venue, because the place was rockin'!   And besides, the South Hills Record said that they would be giving away free tote bags, and I just love a freebie.  We filled our new tote bags with gorgeous raspberries from the Trax Farms booth, broccoli, and some amazing lime cookies from Happy Jack Bakery.   The very nice man who sells Italian foods (sorry! I will have to double check his name next week) has added several new items, two of which are pizza sauce and handmade pizza crusts.  We ran out of spending money by the time we got to his booth, but are already planning to try them next week.  Yum!
