Bellwether Farms

A Chef’s Secret Ingredient

Our award-winning French-style cultured cream has a rich, nutty flavor with an appealing tart finish. Truly a ‘chef’s secret ingredient’, Crème Fraîche is now at home in kitchens across the US.

Unlike sour cream, Crème Fraîche never curdles in sauces or soups and brings complex richness to the simplest recipes. Use on bread, fruit, meat, and salad.

Summer’s last gasp. Fiori di Zucca al Uovo. Stuffed with whipped ricotta, good parm, herbs, lemon, and a perfectly runny quail egg yolk. I’ve had these in my head, in theory, for a year - a play on my favorite Raviolo al Uovo. #fioridizucca #squashblossoms #yolkporn

The “will that work 🤔“ type of recipe development is the most gratifying to me. This is the 2nd iteration, tested and tweaked 3 times. You can still order squash blossoms from Chefs-Garden through October. They are a bit fiddly to make but there is a screenshot-able recipe on the last slides. If you make them or post, please credit back.

I don’t know if I’ve shared this with you guys yet, but berry tarts are my FAVORITE dessert! These are so easy to make and taste super fresh. I used Bellwetherfarms whole milk basket ricotta (thanks for sending!) which is soo rich and creamy. Full disclosure - I almost just ate it straight out of the container 🙃 Speaking of the container- it’s actually sold in its original draining basket- which really makes you feel like you’re eating #farmtotable ! I linked their page in my bio so you can try this out for your next berry tarts too! ❤️ #bellwetherfarms #handdippedricotta

In a pasta state of mind. Old school bolognese and homemade pasta with an obscene portion of hand-dipped ricotta is the perfect foil for this dreary weather. #allthecarbs #bolognese #comfortfood

Sunday’s are for sweets! In this case, lemon ricotta pancakes 🥞🍋 These are hands down the best pancakes I’ve ever made!!! They’re the perfect combination of sweet, light, cakey, and full of lemon flavor!! I started by combining 1 cup of milk with 1/2 tsp baking soda. Then, mix in 1/2 cup bellwetherfarms ricotta, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 heaping tbsp lemon zest, 1 1/2 tbsp sugar, 1 1/2 tsp vanilla, and one egg. Wisk thoroughly so there’s no lumps of cheese and ingredients are combined. Next, add in 3 tsp melted butter kerrygoldusa . Sift together 1 1/4 cup AP flour (bobsredmill one to one GF works too!) and 1 tsp baking powder. Mix into wet ingredients just until combined, do not over mix and let batter sit for 10-15 minutes. While batter was resting, I mixed a couple tablespoons ricotta with a little sugar and lemon zest and sliced my strawberries. Fry up pancakes, top with berries, powdered sugar, and a dollop of sweetened ricotta. Happy eating 💚🥞

I love using a whole sheep’s milk ricotta that is rich and full of flavor, like BellwetherFarms’ ricotta.⁣

The strips of OceansBalanceInc Wakame Seaweed integrated into this dip also really make it shine!⁣

I don’t know where I read it but an article said that $4.00 out of every $5.00 spent at restaurants right now is at a big chain. 😳 Definitely not happy about that stat — I know the big chains are cheaper, but the food sucks. ⁣
⁣
If you have the opportunity, try to shop local, eat local, and support your small business friends! ❤️👏⁣

Tonight we had Chinese food from a Concord restaurant that is not on DoorDash. And a few nights ago, we had this simple dish with hodofoods tofu, asparagus, fresh pasta, pasta king pesto, bellwetherfarms cheese, homemade sourdough (from Jeff), and a salad from our garden. It has been one of the best meals we’ve made it home since this whole nightmare started. ⁣

Are you a “who cares about ricotta” person? I was like you once. No really, I was. Ricotta was for cooking and baking and that was about it - why eat ricotta as an actual cheese when there was a world of funk and stank to indulge in? Then, my life changed. Then, I had bellwetherfarms sheep’s milk ricotta. That blank canvas of nothingness that I used to associate with ricotta was GONE - this ricotta was RICH, she was COMPLEX, she had LAYERS. This ricotta is sweet and fluffy with just a hint of animal-y-ness that takes you on a flavor journey. And on a piece of toasted baguette with some homemade lemon curd? Shut the FRONT DOOR.

She’s not always available - this seasonal meringue-like cloud of a cheese is only around in the spring and early summer - but sweetlulabelle has some right NOW. Don’t sleep on your new favorite cheese. She is unassuming, but hot damn is she good.
