Northside Produce Market August 1 Highlights

So many Winter delights at this market from cooking with wild garlic butter, enjoying seasonal truffle brie to tasting your way to the perfect, Petersons red wine for you.

Julie-Anne Mizzi never envisaged when she bought an old school house near Taralga in the Central Tablelands, that she would end up making a specialty butter, flavoured with the bulbous perennial herb, Three-cornered garlic (Allium triquetrum) that she had to remove from the property as it was taking over. We welcome Three Corner Butter to the market.

It’s truffle season and this Saturday morning, the Second Mouse Cheese Co has their signature Truffle Double Cream Brie. Luxuriously creamy with deep mushroom, brassica and buttery flavours accentuated by delicate, earthy, truffle aromatics, it’s the perfect addition to your winter cheeseboard. Be quick to the stall as it is a limited addition.

For those times when you are really hungry and/or short on time, Pastablilties range of ready-made pasta meals are a delicious go to. From Artichoke, Spinach, Ricotta & Lemon Zest Ravioli and Leek & Mushroom Lasagna to Pumpkin & Ricotta with Saffron Gnocchi, you’ll find it hard to choose. Then there are all the sauces…

We asked Tom at Petersons Wines what he recommended as the perfect wine for sharing with your friends over a warming, winter meal?  Immediately Tom replied, “the Shiraz Cabernet -the bouquet offers beautiful, jammy notes with black pepper and a distinct earthiness, while the palate is rounded and complex with fruits of the forest, dried herbs and spice”.
