Dairy

Supporting Michigan farmers and providing “Good. Real. Food” are two goals that the Western Market Dairy Department takes very seriously.  Robert and Mindy have built up relationships with the local producers who supply our milk, cheese, butter, eggs, yogurt and other refrigerated items.

We’re proud to carry eggs from Michigan farmers like Tasty Fresh, Hamilton Eggs and “Freshie.”  We have local milk from Guernsey, Pointe Dairy and Hamilton.  C.F. Burger provides a nice selection of cream.  And we feature many products from Dairy Fresh, including cheese, milk, dips and dressings.

For those who prefer organics or non-dairy alternatives we carry Organic Valley milk, Horizon brand milk and butter, and Silk. 

Our cooler shelves are checked daily and filled with only the freshest products.  For new product descriptions and recipes, please check out our blog and sign up for our e mail list.

Keep It Cheesy, Ferndale

We’re very excited to announce that we now carry paneer!  Anyone who has dabbled in Indian cuisine knows exactly what paneer is.  This protein-rich ingredient adds a moist and soft texture that’s easily crumbled into any dish.  Dating as far back as 6,000 BC, Paneer is a fresh cheese frequently used in cuisine from the Indian subcontinent, similar to queso blanco.  In eastern parts of South Asia, it is generally called Chhena.  It’s an unaged, acid-set, non-melting farmer cheese, or curd cheese made by curdling heated milk with lemon juice, vinegar or any other food acids.

RECIPE: Scotch Eggs

an article by Julie Baker

Scotch eggs are one of those things that you see off in a little corner of a pub menu and think to yourself, there is no way I’m ordering eggs from a bar.  Then about 4 or 5 drinks in when you flip back open the menu because you’re getting drunk hungry, you think to yourself, fried eggs encased in meat…. AW YEAH!

Lifeway Kefir Smoothies

January 09, 2012 - Posted by Newbie Foodie in Western Market

 

In a story of success and good health,  Lifeway Kefir Smoothies have climbed in popularity and increased in flavor choices since they first came on the market in the late 80s.  CEO Julie Smolansky inherited her father’s company when he passed away unexpectedly when Smolansky was just 27 years old.  That was in 2002.  Since then, under her leadership, the company is making record sales and distribution.  This interview with Forbes Magazine tells of the journey that’s made this once small-town company an international favorite among healthy consumers.
