The Perfect Pear-ing

What is more perfect than the pear?  Fresh out-of-hand this creamy, fleshy fruit packs a juicy nutritional punch.  These 100 calorie treats are an excellent source of vitamin C and dietary fiber, and free of sodium, cholesterol, and fats.  Pears make a wonderful flavor and texture addition to salads, grilled pork and poultry, and baked goods.

Right now, Westlake has beautiful Taylor’s Gold and Comice varieties from New Zealand available in our produce department.  Pair either with a block of New Zealand Cheddar, and take your taste buds on a trip.  This naturally aged, cow’s milk cheese has a mild to medium flavor profile that is truly a product of its environment.
