The one thing you will find (and it totally scared the crap out of me when we first bought Aleias Farmhouse white bread.....They WEIGH a TON....as tho if u threw a loaf at someone, it could do serious head damage.! I am NOT kidding! BUT....some sort of remarkable change takes over when these products are heated or toasted.....they morph into a soft yummy tasty bread! It's freaky! Items should be kept in the freezer to remain fresh. Both Whole Foods, Highland Park and Trader Joes seems to sell this brand as well as other brands. As for Aleias, the bread i mentioned, the bag of choc chip cookies are yummy and we have also tried some stuffing (and am hoping i can maybe use the stuffing cubes as some croutons....if not, i will just make my own using some leftover bakery bread..... Let me know if u ever come across a store that sells even more of these items than WFoods...They are a good start, but these baked goods are really wonderful! One reason for the 4 stars and not 5? The stuff is VERY CALORIE AND FAT DENSE! to my dismay, i discovered online (its not on the pkg) that each slice of bread is over 200 calories (230 I think) and 4 grams of fat .....EACH! That is very disheartening for ppl like me who need to also lose weight! BUT.....id rather have the lack of horrible tummy pain and have to deal with an extra few grams of fat....I think once i can find some wraps, that things will work out better.....Those i can fill with veggies from our garden

They have all the infused olive oils that we love, and new ones to try. I even bought a special balsamic vinegar, as well as Christmas presents for the family.

They filled up a large bottle of olive oil with the flavor I needed and as I chose items took them to the register to hold until I was done shopping.... a good way to keep the customer buying more!! Parking is a breeze in the lot right behind the store. We look forward to coming back!

I don't disagree, but I still hate you. Jars can be purchased at most local supermarkets or picked up by the carton at their Hamilton Street plant. One carton costs $34 and contains 4 large gallons. The math works out to be about $3.15 for 24 ounces (that's the standard size for jar sauce). That price is pretty good considering many top specialty sauces sold at supermarkets are selling for double that price.

Arethusa Farm Dairy is easily one of the top ice cream spots I have ever tasted in my life. It is…read moresome of the creamiest, smoothest, and most refreshing ice cream I've ever had, without even a hint of artificial taste. According to their story, it's all naturally produced from the milk of their 300 cows housed at Arethusa Farm in Litchfield, CT. The menu is packed with delicious and interesting flavors, and taste-testing is gladly allowed. My daughter got a cup of the mint chip, while I opted for a waffle cone with sweet cream and chocolate. Both were absolutely delicious. The ambiance is that of an upscale ice cream spot. The interior features a bright, clean, and welcoming black-and-white design, with framed photos of their farm cows lining the walls. There is no traditional table seating inside--just two benches and some standing room--so it is mostly an order-to-go setup. It is also conveniently located right around the corner from the Yale University campus, making it a perfect treat to enjoy while walking. The service can be a little on the slow side, but that's likely because they graciously let everyone sample flavors. The employees are incredibly friendly, engaging, and informative about the shop's most popular scoops. An absolute must-visit in New Haven.

Late July is peach season, and the sweet aroma of peaches blends beautifully with the natural richness of milk. The first taste is the sweet and sour peach, with fruit pieces bursting like popping boba, followed by a rich and mellow fruity aroma that instantly transports you to an orchard. All of this is built on a rich and natural milk base. Butter Pecan: A spontaneous choice. Overall, it's slightly salty within the milky flavor, with pecan nuts as a topping, making it a rather full-bodied one. Fortunately, it's not too sweet, so it's not cloying, and the slight saltiness adds a nice touch. I thought it was just okay, but my parents loved it. Sweet Cream Chocolate Chip: Apparently their signature flavor. The sweet cream wasn't actually too sweet, but the cream was very rich and fragrant; the real sweetness came from the chocolate chips, which burst in your mouth with every chew, and even just a sample was slightly cloying. The staff were very friendly, proactively offering recommendations and samples. Taking a break with ice cream while strolling around campus and the art gallery is definitely a great experience.

Lamberti Italian Sausage is an artisanal Italian sausage company that opened in New Haven,…read moreConnecticut in 1946. It was founded by husband and wife James and Eugenia "Jean" Lamberti. James spent much of his childhood working in his family's New Haven grocery market. After noticing how popular his family's Italian sausage recipe was, he decided to start his own business that focused solely on Italian sausages. When the Lambertis first started the business on Grand Avenue (initially called the Lamberti Packing Company), their clientele were local mom-and-pop establishments and pizzerias. Business struggled at first, but eventually it took off. Lamberti would later expand their clientele to 100 supermarkets throughout Connecticut, as well as Italian restaurants, colleges & universities, and even state fairs. In 1964, Lamberti Sausage was one of the first businesses to move in at the Long Wharf food terminal (a meat-packing and produce hub); other food businesses soon followed. James Lamberti passed away in 1994 and Jean would follow him in 2020. Their legacy lives on through their family. Daughter Cindy Lamberti-Pallotti serves as the secretary and treasurer, grandson Joseph James "Jay" Pallotti serves as president and director of sales, and nephew Joe Kelley serves as operations manager. I've been purchasing Lamberti sausages for several years. They are great for making sausage & pepper grinders, stuffed breads, pizza, pasta dishes, breakfast dishes, etc. Unfortunately, Lamberti Sausage doesn't have a retail store at their home base, but their products are widely available at supermarkets around Connecticut. Their traditional Italian sausage links come in Sweet Italian Pork, Hot Italian Pork, Italian Chicken, and Breakfast varieties. Lamberti also make sausage patties. In fact, they claim to have formulated the first sausage patties.

They sell great 5 pound boxes of sweat or hot sausages that grill up perfectly. They are surprisingly lean with very little fat rendered which is surprising considering how much flavor is packed in. As such, pan frying needs a touch of oil but not much and nothing too strong as you shouldn't mess with these sausages. A really unique flavor compared to sausages from NY and shouldn't even be compared to most supermarket and deli versions. I am very happy I found this place.
