The Foods in Forward Foods

Here’s more great foods in our grocery aisle!

Mt. Vikos Sweet Olive Jam–  Made from naturally-cured Greek olives, select spices, lemon, sugar and pomegranate juice, this unique taste sensation is  between savory and sweet with the consistency of a chutney. It pairs perfectly with all types of cheese, especially sheep’s-milk cheeses (Pecorino), Gorgonzola Dolce, St. Andre and more!

Da Morgada Tomato Jam - This zesty tomato jam is made from seasonal, vine-ripened tomatoes. Carefully cultivated in the ecologically pure farmland of Alentejo, Portugal; these tomatoes are combined with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon rind. Nice with salty cheeses or breakfast biscuits.

Fasolia –Thira Meze jars these green beans in tomato sauce in Greece. I like to lay a few out along with some olives, feta, crackers for a rustic plate. They can top a pasta sauce nicely too.

Sweet Crisps– La Panzanella add cinnamon and sugar to their insanely popular and delicious flatbreads for a wonderful treat to go with your breakfast coffee or to add another flavor with your soft cheese.

La Paila Dulce de Leche- Argentina takes its dulce de leche seriously.  La Paila slowly carmelizes their Holsteins’ fresh milk for hours in vats to the consistency of butterscotch. Its maximum sweet milk flavor is great for all desserts or as La Paila’s owner says, “If you really want a jolt, stir some dulce de leche into your morning coffee and add a shot of brandy.”

Portuguese Sardines in Tomato Sauce - These sardines are caught off Portugal and packed fresh. Not too oily with a fresh tuna taste. The tomato sauce gives a nice fuller flavor.

Wallow in The Meyer

Meyer lemons are here! Meyer lemons are here!

I love Meyer lemons. They’re sweeter than your other lemons (some think this Chinese export is a cross between a lemon and a Mandarin) and they are so versatile. now is when they are in season and the ones we got in are nice and fragrant. Get them while they last!

In The Grocery Aisle

We boast a full grocery here at Forward Foods. Here’s a teeny tiny sampling of some foods on the shelves for you to enjoy.

Taralli Italian Crackers - These crackers from Italy’s boot pack a nice flavor for such a small disk. Designed for hearty red wines, they also are great with soft cheeses and tapenades. But I guarantee you’ll eat some with nothing else.

Cherry “B” Gypsy- OKC’s Prairie Gypsies make this gem. The “B” is for balsamic vinegar which is a delicious zesty companion to the juice of cherries. An all-natural, not-too-sweet combination of flavors perfect for a festive spinach salad, fresh fruit, or a drizzle over a favorite aged cheese. It is THE best for deglazing, sauce reductions, as a marinade.

Berkshire Bark -Rough-hewn bars of Belgian chocolate studded with nuts, spices and dried fruit have arrived from Massachusetts. Berkshire Bark uses all-natural ingredients and no preservatives in these handmade treats. A bar can last days.

Piri-Piri Sauce- The West African sauce is from the small spicy chili pepper known as the African Devil (Malagueta in Brazil). It’s like Tabasco in that it can be added to anything but it’s especially nice in soups and stews.

Lazzaroni Amaretti – These wonderful slow baked cookies melt in your mouth and are excellent with coffee, tea, and milk, but also pair well with fine wines and after dinner liqueurs. Made from a 1718 recipe! Lazzaroni also makes a great bruschette.

We Are Open! Thursday Deal!

No, that yellow tape blocking off all the parking spots in front does not mean this is a crime scene. They’re painting the exterior of the business next door so this means all parking spots in front of Forward Foods are not available. Grrrr. Grumble grumble.

SO. It’s going to take a little effort to get here today. And to show our appreciation for this. ALL CUSTOMERS TODAY GET TEN PERCENT OFF EVERYTHING.

Thanks for your support.
