Feeling Peachy with These 8 Picks

Posted on by Dorothy Lane Market

We’re feeling super PEACHY and we can’t help but celebrate our Peach Party this month by highlighting some perfectly peachy concoctions, Made Right Here sweets, and just all-around good eats featuring peaches.

Feeling Peachy with These 8 Picks

1. Peach & Prosciutto Naples-Style Pizza

We top our Made Right Here pizza dough with tree-ripened Prima® Peaches, thinly sliced prosciutto di Parma, fresh mozzarella, and crumbled 200-Day-Old Gorgonzola. It’s then baked in our hearth oven and finished with arugula and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. NAPLES-STYLE PIZZA STATION

2. BLPeach Sandwich

The perfect combination of sweet and salty, this sandwich is composed of juicy tree-ripened Prima® Peaches, fresh arugula, savory DLM Uncured Bacon, and Basil Mayo piled high between slices of DLM Farmhouse Bread. SANDWICH STATION

3. Peach & Blueberry Salad

Tons of freshly sliced Prima® Peaches and sweet blueberries tossed in a fresh ginger syrup. This salad is bright, flavorful, and the epitome of summer! DELI

4. Fresh Peach Tart

Starting with a tart shell that’s painted with white chocolate and dipped in toasted almonds, it’s then filled with sweet pastry cream, decorated with sliced peaches that are arranged in a rosette shape, and finished with an apricot glaze. BAKERY

5. DLM Old-Fashioned Peaches

Locally produced for us in Holmes County, Ohio, our peaches are sweet, juicy, and excellent with ice cream, pound cake, or straight from the jar. GROCERY

6. Peach Salsa

Made fresh in our Produce department, this salsa features the best this season has to offer. It’s filled with diced peaches, tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeños. It’s sweet with a little kick! We love it scooped up with chips or as a topping on tacos. PRODUCE

7. Peach Blackberry Bakewell Tart

Uniquely square, our Bakewell Tart is a British born pastry that is Made Right Here. We start with a sweet almond cream nestled in an all-butter shortbread crust and then layer with the prized Prima® Peaches and blackberries. BAKERY

8. Avivé Peach Wine

Light and refreshing, this slightly sweet sparkling wine from France boasts peach flavor. It pairs perfectly with light appetizers and a sunny day. BEER & WINE

 

Recipes to Savor From Our Family to Yours

Posted on by Calvin Mayne

Few pleasures in life compare to eating together, so let’s savor it—with the people we love. We wish your family happiness and good health.

The DLM Difference

Posted on by Calvin Mayne

Frequently, visitors from out of town tell me they miss us. Others say it’s a major reason why they love living here. I ask why. People tell me “we trust you. Others gush “the food is so good!” The best one is “the people are wonderful.”

What is the DLM Difference? We strive to make a difference, but different from what? The word “difference” begs a comparison. Are we talking adversarilly about DLM vs other markets? No, actually. It’s a noble task to feed others, and the biz is mostly populated by good people.

The DLM Difference isn’t about us or them. It is about you! It’s the difference we want to make in your life. We want to give you a special experience where you meet nice people and find good food … really good food. Shopping DLM is a source of joy, not drudgery. Simply put, we aspire to make your life better. Our company’s mission begins, “To make our customers happy.”

Even in the simplest ways, we want to make a difference, whether you’re coming in for a quick cup of coffee, getting a healthy salad, buying a loaf of bread, or filling a cart to feed your family. Maybe it’s just to pick up a treat, say a brownie.

A DEEPER DIVE

Take, for example, that cup of coffee. Maybe it was from Hacienda La Minita in Costa Rica. You savor its aroma and flavor. Why is it so good? Ask one of our Coffee Bar Managers, Amy, Holli, or Chris, as they just went to Costa Rica in January, not just visiting the plantation, but even picking the beans!

Everybody admires our salad bar thanks to Bertha at Oakwood, Loretta at Washington Square, and Connie at Springboro. They come in early and begin selecting, cleaning, chopping, and producing multi-colored edible works of art, composed of organic lettuces, nutrient-packed vegetables, exotic microgreens, and eye-popping garnishments.

We are willing to do the hard work to make a difference. Consider our DLM Artisan Bread, like our Sourdough … oh my, it’s so good! But it takes a lot of work and expertise to make it so. We have a talented team of artisans who mix from the best flours, hand-shape, and bake on the hot hearth of our juggernaut European bread oven. Great bread is also the foundation (crust) of great pizza. We studied pizza for years before creating our Naples-Style Pizza. This involved installing the specialized hearth ovens, creating the right dough, and stretching our own fresh mozzarella.

And that brownie? Yes, it has to be a Killer Brownie®, of course! Our famous triple-layer brownie is so popular that this very month we are opening a brand new facility. We feature our Killer Brownie® not just in our stores, but now distribute it throughout the country.

FOOD LOVERS UNITE

Not surprisingly, we also do business with people who think as we do and who have passion: people whose mission in life is to cultivate the sweetest pineapple, grow the healthiest chicken, or churn-out the most indulgent butter. There are many more ways you experience the DLM Difference. One other quick example is our entire Seafood department. Some people come for our seafood alone. Want to chat about fishing families in Alaska? Species of salmon? Fat content? Recipes? Cooking methods? Let’s do it!

We are a place for people who love food. And that’s the engine that drives the DLM Difference. Join us this year as we explore some of our favorite points of difference each month and highlight these great products. We love what we do. We love serving you. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to make a difference.

Reliving the Party: The Food & Wine Show

Posted on by Chef Carrie Walters

After DLM throws the annual Food & Wine Show, we spend more than a couple of days reviewing all of the pieces that make this event so special. Now that we’ve had time to look back, I thought I’d share some fun Food & Wine Show facts!

• We were thrilled that the “Big Chill” waited until this week so we could get over 600 folks through our doors for the start of the party in less than 15 minutes!

• Happy to report that all fingers are accounted for after shucking 1,000 oysters and cutting 1,000+ pieces of sushi.

• Our servers happily trayed and presented over 4,400 individual hors d’oeuvres.

• We made batch after batch of cheese risotto finishing it in a 90 lb wheel of Grana Padano, which is similar to Parmigiano-Reggiano.

• We had a wonderful representation this year of wine regions and varietals. From rare connoisseur picks to everyday delights, there was truly something for everybody.

• We hope everyone enjoyed the live jazz music from band leader Mike and his mates. This year he celebrated 20 years of entertaining our guests during the show.

• We’re thankful for our 140 associates who help us put this together and make it successful every single year.

Thank you to all who attended this year’s show and to those who helped make this event unforgettable. Mark your calendars for the 2020 Food & Wine Show, happening Thursday, November 5. We are now ready for the holidays to begin!

Best in Class Cheese Available at DLM

Posted on by Maritza Cuellar

Rogue River Blue, out of Oregon, was previously the most celebrated cheese of the United States. Now, it’s the most celebrated cheese in the WORLD, announced by the World Cheese Awards, and we are proud to carry this best in class cheese while supplies last in The DLM Cheese Shop.

Rogue River Blue is a seasonal treasure of the winter holidays. Made in very limited quantities by Rogue Creamery out of Oregon and released each year during the fall, this decadent blue brings happiness to its fans for a few glorious months. Handcrafted using organic cow’s milk, Rogue River Blue is cave-aged for 9 to 11 months before it is delicately wrapped in pear-brandy-soaked Syrah grape leaves from the Rogue Valley. Don’t think this beautiful presentation is just for appearances, either! This striking gift-wrap also provides a stunning and transformative flavor profile.

You can expect the Rogue River blue to provide an intoxicating array of flavors that include pear, clove, blackberry, vanilla, hazelnut, cocoa, and even a touch of bacon. (I mean, who doesn’t love bacon nowadays?)

So how does one enjoy the best cheese in the world?
You can savor it after dinner with a touch of port or make it the center of an epic cheese plate. Generally blue cheeses pair best with bold reds, later harvest whites, or your favorite port. If beers are more your style, look for something malty and bold such as a stout, porter, or a barley wine. Whatever you choose, make sure it has some muscle because this beauty comes with a punch!

Look for this award-winning cheese in The DLM Cheese Shop while supplies last.

The Hills Are Alive with Alpine Cheese & Wine

Posted on by Todd Templin

We are taking a trek through The Alps with this month’s Food Explorer theme, and I couldn’t be more excited about the amount of food and drink hailing from this area. What exactly makes up The Alps? It’s more than the mountainous and picturesque Austrian countryside depicted in The Sound of Music. You’ll find the following countries as specified by The Alpine Convention, which exists to oversee the sustainable development of The Alps: Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Slovenia, and Switzerland. With that in mind, grab your picnic basket and enjoy some of my favorite wines and cheeses from this area and keep reading for more food inspiration!

Alpine Cheeses

EMMI CHEESE FONDUE BLEND

With 70% of the Switzerland’s agriculture made of pastures and the majority of the farmers having fewer than 30 cows, Emmi contracts for the milk and this easy-toprepare, velvety Alpine herdsman originated fondue is one of the prizes! Dip in crusty bread, fruit, meat, or vegetables.

ALP BLOSSOM

Inspired by its home in western Austria’s “hay belt,” it’s both a feast for the palate and eyes. Its coating of flowers include marigold, rose petals, lavender, and chervil. It’s rich, full-bodied flavor has hints of umami and a slight sweetness to the finish.

CRUCOLO

Made by a single producer at the mouth of the Val Campelle in Trentino, Italy. It’s smooth, creamy, and slightly tangy, pairing well with cured meats and a hearty wine.

PRÉSIDENT EMMENTAL SWISS

The old tradition using pure cow’s milk and a maturation period of at least four months allows Emmental to develop into a mild, slightly nutty tasting cheese.

COMTÉ ST. ANTOINE GRUYÈRE 

This cheese is made in the cooperative dairies of the Jura Mountains and aged for 18 to 22 months in the renowned caves of Marcel Petite Fort St. Antoine. It’s smooth with assertive flavor and particularly good with a white wine from the Savoie, such as Abymes.

Alpine Wines

ABYMES VIN DE SAVOIE 

Savoie is located in eastern France, very close to the Swiss border near Lake Geneva. Made from the grape Jacquère, this wine is extremely vibrant and crisp, with a dry finish. It’s a very pleasing wine perfect for lunch or light dinner dishes.

DÖNNHOFF RIESLING TROCKEN

The Dönnhoff family first came to the Nahe region of southwestern Germany 250 years ago and Helmut, who took over from his father in 1966, makes simply breathtaking wine! This dry wine is extremely balanced with flavor nuances and speaks to Helmut’s personal philosophy for wine making. “I express myself clearly and so do my wines,” he says.

MÜLLER-CATOIR RIESLING

From one of the grand old estates in Germany, this wine is easily one of the best white wines in the world! Amazing complexity, with ample fruit, minerality, and very well-balanced acidity.

BOTTEGA VINAIA TEROLDEGO ROTALIANO

From Trentino, Italy, this wine is dry, full-bodied, with soft tannins and a long, well-rounded finish that seems to be wrapped in raspberries! Wonderful paired with roast chicken, grilled meats, or a charcuterie board.

ELENA WALCH VIGNA CASTEL RINGBERG PINOT GRIGIO

Castel Ringberg is the hotel and restaurant that the Walch family owns near their vineyards in Italy. This single vineyard Pinot Grigio is easily the most intense, wellstructured, vibrant Pinot Grigio we have ever had. No watered-down version here!

NIGL FREHEIT GRÜNER VELTLINER

Tucked deep in the Krems Valley in Austria is Nigl, easily one of our favorite producers. They’ve been farming this land for over 200 years! Stunning vibrancy, minerality, and length in this dry wine that is lovely on its own, but best with food.

The 21st Annual Food & Wine Show

Posted on by Todd Templin

We like to think that our Food & Wine Show is the perfect kickoff to a celebratory season to come, and this year is certainly no exception. For one night, DLM Springboro transforms into the stage of a spectacular gustatory experience and it’s hard to believe that it started 21 years ago. We hope that each year, just like a fine wine, it keeps getting better and better.

At our Food & Wine Show, Thursday, Nov. 7, you’ll have the opportunity to taste wines from around the world and from some of the best producers, and talk to knowledgeable sommeliers all while sampling chef-driven food prepared by DLM’s best. It’s truly an evening that we take great pride in hosting and infusing with our passion.

A ticket to the Food & Wine Show includes an opportunity to taste from a selection of nearly 200 fine wines and beer with a bevy of hors d’oeuvres coming from our kitchen along with ample food stations. We promise you won’t go hungry!

Cheers and I’ll see you soon!

Although the event isn’t until Nov. 7, tickets go on sale Friday, Sept. 13, starting at 6 a.m. and they’ll sell out quickly. Limit 10 per customer.

Tickets can be purchased at Guest Services or online at www.DorothyLane.com/FoodWineShow.

Taste of Thailand

Posted on by Chef Carrie Walters

What is it about Thai food that has so many of us enthralled? I can answer that with four words—hot, sour, salty, and sweet. In most Thai dishes you can find some kind of combination of all of these taste components. In addition to the contrast of flavors, you’ll also find a contrast of textures. How fun is that? Think for example of bright herbal soups, savory curries, crunchy salads, slurpy noodles, spicy dips, and beautiful tropical fruit to name a few.

Grab your Produce Passport and get ready to dive into the world of delicious Thai Produce!

Street food found in Thailand is some of the best in the world. Some favorites from my travels include spring rolls, grilled satay, salty fish cakes, and sweet sticky rice in baggies along with the best fried chicken I’ve ever eaten in my life.

Lucky for us, it’s easier nowadays than in years past to find the ingredients to recreate excellent Thai food in your own kitchen. Rice and mung bean noodles, curry pastes, coconut milk, fish sauce, and chili sauce are now common and you need to find some room for them in your pantry. Along with some fresh veggies and a variety of proteins, a taste of Thailand can be yours! So challenge yourself to roll up your sleeves and explore the incredible flavors that the cuisine of Thailand has to offer.

Curious about curries? Learn about the different types and how to use them!
