A Taste Of Spain

lcibelli — Tue, 17 May 2022 17:20:39 +0000

Fresh Food Fight winners, Vanesa Peredo and Alejandro Fernandez, bring to the Reading Terminal Market quite literally a window into their home-country. In their store, located right next to Flying Monkey Bakery and facing the Center Court seating area, market shoppers can find a variety of desserts, olive oil, pickled vegetables, Jamon Iberico, Manchego cheese, and many other authentic Spaniard delicacies. Their love for their native country and their desire to introduce market shoppers to what their culinary culture has to offer really shows through the attention for detail and passion they put into setting up their new shop as well as the time they dedicate to hosting demos and organizing recipe testings both in their store and in City Kitchen.

Lancaster, Pennsylvania’s rolling hills are dotted with red barns filled with black-and-white cows. Lancaster County Dairy offers Philadelphia the chance to enjoy fresh dairy products from local farms like these. Their milk and cream make the short trip downtown from Kreider Farms, a third-generation family farm, founded in 1935 and based in Mannheim, Pennsylvania. They also carry Pequea Valley Yogurt, exceptionally rich yogurt made from the hormone- and antibiotic-free milk of Abner King’s Jersey cows, either plain or flavored with fruit, chocolate, or maple. Look for golden butter, rich buttermilk, eggs, goat’s milk, and even raw milk in glass bottles. Though it would be worth stopping for any of these alone, some of Lancaster County Dairy’s most popular products are their colorful lineup of juices and flavored lemonades. Fresh-squeezed orange, lemon, and grapefruit juices create a rainbow in the case alongside strawberry lemonade, Cranberry Cooler, and the popular “Victory Thirst Clincher,” a mix of lemon, orange, and strawberry.
