rosemary ham, bacon, & goat cheese salad

Featuring Dietz & Watson Smoked Bacon, Rosemary Ham, and Goat Cheese
Everything’s better with bacon, and Doretta’s Boston premier chef, Chef Michael Schlow’s salad is no exception. Whip up this zesty creation as a side, or main dish for your next meal. We’re not psychics, but we predict you’ll be adding rolled goat cheese to all your salads in the future.

manchego & cheddar grilled cheese

Featuring Dietz & Watson Manchego and Cheddar Cheeses
You can’t say you’ve conquered the art of grilled cheese until you’ve tried Chef Giselle Wellman’s grilled cheese appetizers. Our Originals Manchego is aged four months and has a semi-firm texture with a gentle nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with our Cheddar’s creamy richness. For those of you who aren’t as fluent in cheese lingo, that translates to: it’s amazing and you’ve gotta try it.
