#DAYLIGHT #PeachysPantry #AldiManhattan #AldiNewYork #ALDI @AldiUSA @Aldi Opens First Midtown Store, Bringing Affordable Groceries to the Heart of Times Square

It's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and we know Aldi.
It is common knowledge that Peachy is mostly at a restaurant.
However, sometimes she actually eats at home.
What does she eat?
Well, you read about it in Peachy's Pantry.

From Aldi, her favorites that you can actually find in her possession at all times are:
Rye Bread
Irish Butter
English Muffins
Marble Rye Bread
Whipped Cream
Specialty Hard Cheeses especially from Ireland, England, France and Italy.  And obviously the USA.

Regular kitchen items are high quality here, and unlike essentially everyone else, they stand by their quality and will not only give you your money back if you are not happy with a product but also will replace it with something of equal value at no charge.
And, there are good deals at Aldi and everyone should love that.
Also, we found the hospitality and manners outstanding by all employees this morning at the opening of the Times Square location.  

America’s fastest-growing grocer provides a quicker, easier shopping experience and curated selection at Every Day Low Prices*

ALDI will open its first Midtown store on June 19, 2026, at 311 West 42nd Street, on the ground floor of The Ellery(opens in a new tab), near Times Square.
The store will offer fresh groceries, organic options, ALDI-exclusive brands and weekly ALDI Finds at exceptionally low prices.
Opening day celebrations include a ribbon-cutting ceremony, gift bags for the first 200 customers and limited-edition ALDI NYC tote bags while supplies last.

ALDI, #1 Most Trusted Grocer for Low Prices in the Northeast**, is bringing its easy, cost-saving shopping experience to Midtown as it opens its new store at on the ground floor of The Ellery at 311 West 42nd Street on June 19.

#PeachysPantry #FrancePeachy #KeepingFranceonTop #MadeinFrance #SaintJean #ComteRavioles #GoatCheeseRavioles #BlackTruffleRavioles HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY WHOM YOU KNOW Since 1935 by D.A. Gros

 

Depuis means SINCE for all of you that don't speak French yet...and French is the second language of Whom You Know!

Since 1935, Saint Jean has been Keeping France on Top.

Even more fun than speaking French is of course eating French...drumroll please:


90 years into their history, it is high time for all competitive American professional chefs to join the party of Ravioles! You are going to absolutely adore these little delicious delicate beauties that have versatility as a dish in themselves or as a highlight star. Of course if you are reading outside of the USA you should find out if your country's foodservice providers carry this esteemed brand. If you are reading in France, you should know this is also called Royans.

It's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW.
We know France.
We know Bastille Day.
And what did we do on Bastille Day?  
We met Etienne Gervasoni, Brand Ambassador of Saint Jean (above) in Manhattan and were incredibly impressed!  He represents this fine French brand with class and intelligence that is not commonplace among the regular Brand Ambassadors of today and caught our attention with the superior quality of his product.  Etienne takes total pride in his vocation and America has been enlightened.  Chef de marchés RHD/Export Senior Stephanie Castel of France is equally impressive from afar as is brand owner the multitalented academic superstar DA Gros, business leader extraordinaire.  We hope to shine the light on them and this brand even more!
And now we know how to make them!  By Peachy:
In case you haven't read our previous 30,000 posts, you should know that we have simple taste: we only like the best and the best is Saint Jean, who have pursued extreme quality for 90 solid years.
Top Chefs and Top Restaurant Owners in the USA: it's time to say ENCHANTE to their trifecta of high-performing raviolis all crafted with precision and care in the South of France.  We have personally eaten them all and their proven quality is simply sensational.
You may know Italian raviolis: these are different because they are smaller and more delicate.  For nearly a century, Saint Jean has crafted culinary delight through simple, artisanal recipes that embody the authenticity, freshness, and unparalleled quality of French gastronomy.

Peachy has a degree in American History from Boston College, and we especially adore cuisine with esteemed history such as Saint Jean. Learn with Peachy:

1300s: Earliest references to “ravioles” in Romans-sur-Isère where Saint Jean is located. Local archives and parish records from the 14th century describe “raviole” as a dish made with leftovers wrapped in a thin dough.

1935: 1st machine to produce “ravioles” created by Emile Truchet leading to the creation of Saint Jean

1962: Launch of Les Ravioles du Royans

1983: Launch of Les Ravioles de Saint Jean

1992: Claude Gros starts at the Company, D.A. Gros's father

2023: New fresh pasta plant, one of the most modern in the world, built

Having now been present in the US for over 20 years, Saint Jean is primarily used by and appreciated by Chefs specializing in French cuisine from coast to coast in the USA. Their “Ravioles du Royans” have a century old recipe originating from the South East of France. With 2 French certifications (Label Rouge and PGI), their quality is guaranteed. They very carefully choose ingredients that include: Comté cheese, free range eggs, a rare and very fine flour, and Perigord Black Truffle. We commend that their recipes are as natural as possible (no GMO, no artificial flavorings, etc.).


There are three spectacular varieties available:

Comte Ravioles

Goat Cheese Ravioles

Black Truffle Ravioles, Peachy's favorite.


For the full French experience, Peachy used her Degrenne silverware and plate also made in France:

Ravioles are made with extra-fine, soft wheat flour and not the rougher, heavier semolina typically used in Italian ravioli and pasta as you can see. This enables them to craft a distinctive, thin pasta that melts in the mouth and has a pure, delicate texture. Since the pasta is so thin, it cooks in only 2 minutes from being frozen. Our Peachy's Pantry panel which ranges in ages, culinary skills and is mostly American but includes French people, absolutely raved about how coveted these ravioles will be all over America once fine dining restaurants learn about their superior quality. The ravioles are not available at this time in the American retail market and are available to the food service market.

They tell us:

In France, our range is very wide and includes Ravioles, Quenelles, Fresh pasta, Ready Meals.

In America, our ravioles have been sold to chefs for more than 20 years. We work with many restaurants especially in New York including Daniel Boulud's restaurant La Tête d’Or. Other restaurants featuring Saint Jean are “Amelie” (NYC, San Francisco, Fairfax and Washington DC) and Le Bistrot du Coin (Washington DC). Our ravioles are also very liked by caterers and convention centers.
 

Ravioles are very versatile: they can be deep fried and served on the top of a salad, they can be poached and served with vegetables for a vegetarian dish, they can be cooked with cheese as a comforting gratin in winter. The only limit is your creativity and imagination and we know our readers possess great skills in the kitchen, particularly all of the restaurants that we love that read us!

All three varieties of Saint Jean Ravioles are Highly Recommended by Whom You Know.
Say enchante to the Comte, Goat Cheese and Black Truffle!
You need them in your culinary life, top chefs.







If Saint Jean is good enough for us and Daniel Boulud (here he is with Peachy Deegan at the Printemps New York opening party) it is good enough for you too, top chefs of the USA!  And everywhere where Saint Jean is sold, bien sur mes amis.
Also, we totally adore the bear commercial.

#PeachysPantry Introducing #SalumeriaBiellese #KeepingAmericaonTop #MadeintheUSA #GorgeousGifts Since 1925! MEET THE ONLINE STORE! Now you can replicate in your home Peachy's Manhattan Dining Experience!


Their mission statement:

As descendants from the province of Biella in Italy’s Piedmont region, we feature traditional style sausages and salumi with an emphasis on quality and flavor. We use the highest quality ingredients from not only local farms in the Tri-State area, but also select farmers that we have been working with for many years. Our mission is for you to take a step into our family’s kitchen, and let your taste buds do the rest!

Sopressata Sampler, above

This makes an excellent gift and it is never to early to start on your CHRISTMAS shopping!  And if you are like us, you firmly believe in shopping 365 days a year.  (Note to those in Manhattan: Macy's is close to their restaurants!)  There is something for everyone among these four flavors!

Finochietta Salami – A delicate yet bold blend of fennel and spices that provide a subtle, aromatic sweetness.

Sopressata Toscana – A classic Italian masterpiece, with robust flavors of garlic, black pepper, and a hint of red wine, evoking the rolling hills of Tuscany.

Sopressata Tartuffini – A luxurious treat infused with the earthy elegance of truffles, taking this Sopressata to an unforgettable level of indulgence.

Napolitana Salami – Inspired by the heart of Naples, this variety features a balance of rich, savory spices and a zesty kick of chili, perfect for lovers of bold flavor.

Garlic and Chianti Salami

Peachy personally loves garlic and chianti and they combine for a lovely symphony of Italian flavors in this winner. Coarsely ground pork meets the rich notes of Chianti wine and the savory sweetness of roasted garlic, accented by a touch of Mediterranean spices. Slowly air-dried to achieve ultimate perfection.  Also, we believe when you are not drinking Italian wine, you should be eating it!

Cacciatorini Pecorino

Again, these are not run-of-the-mill common flavors, but since when are we interested in common anything.  We strive to identify and curate our content to showcase the very best, and this is the Perfect Pairing of Pork and Pecorino. They’ve taken the classic Cacciatorini and enhanced it with the sharp, salty notes of Pecorino cheese. A truly irresistible combination that sets this brand apart will bring delight to your charcuterie board, making you the last word in neighborhood parties.

Salame Con Porcini

An Exquisite Berkshire & Porcini Delight. What a savory way to get in your vegetables! Coarsely ground, premium Berkshire shoulder meets the earthy richness of Porcini mushrooms and the subtle notes of Barbera wine. Seasoned, cured, and dried to perfection for an unforgettable taste.

#PeachysPantry @IdahoanFoods Heat Up Your New Year with Idahoan Foods Plus They Have CHEESE and BACON!!!

Time to heat up your life and your new year with some new food ideas at home, and Idahoan Foods has proved the third time's a charm. Previously, they earned accolades in October 2024 and also in 2022.
What did we like best this time?
The hash browns! Check out the hash brown ideas here.  If you aren't a morning person either, you need all the delicious incentives to start your day right like this.  Of course all Irish people like potatoes and until Ireland becomes a state in the USA, we will stick to the potatoes from Idaho!  What else is going on with this exciting brand?

IDAHOAN® FOODS PACKS A FLAVOR PUNCH WITH RELEASE OF TAPATÍO® TRIPLE CHEESE MASHED POTATOES AND BACON CHEDDAR POTATO SHREDS

The leading producer of packaged potatoes expands portfolio with all new snacking items
We liked the cheesiness of these above, and it is a similar idea to macaroni and cheese except of course you have potatoes, not macaroni. Note that the bacon flavor is the flavor: not actual bacon.



Attention fans of hot sauce and bacon, Idahoan® Foods introduces two new bold products, sure to be your latest snack obsessions! The leading producer of quality, packaged potato products in the U.S. broadens its product portfolio with the release of Idahoan® Tapatío® Triple Cheese Mashed Potatoes and Idahoan® Bacon Cheddar Potato Shreds.

Big, bold flavors continue to be what consumers are craving, with 82% of consumers drawn to foods with hot and spicy flavors*. To meet this growing consumer need, Idahoan teamed up with the experts in hot sauce at Tapatío® to turn up the heat on their Triple Cheese Mashed Potatoes, which are available in a 4-cup pack. And, when it came to expanding the Potato Shreds line, launched in August 2023 for consumers’ on-the-go snacking needs, the brand turned to another beloved and mouthwatering pairing – bacon and cheese – to please hungry palates with Bacon Cheddar Potato Shreds, available in a 2-cup pack.


“We are eager to expand our most popular on-the-go lines with two new flavor-packed options designed for potato fans looking for convenience and great taste,” said Ryan Ellis, Vice President of Retail Marketing & Business Development at Idahoan Foods. “The launch of these new products showcases our commitment to innovation and listening to consumers.”

“At Tapatío®, we look for partners that bring the same passion for their products that we do, which is why working with the team over at Idahoan was a no brainer,” said Roche McCoy, Director of Licensing Operations, Tapatío. “Idahoan® Tapatío® Triple Cheese Mashed Potatoes bring the perfect balance of savory, cheesy goodness and the signature Tapatío heat to an all-new eating experience.”

#DAYLIGHT #PeachysPantry @NYProduceShow Whom You Know is Honored to Attend the 15th annual New York Produce Show and Conference (NYPS), Always a December Highlight in New York! #WhomYouKnow @ManhattanPeachy

Every year we look back at the year and tell you what was the best. Here's the Best of 2024 so far.

Today, we looked back at all the times we have been to The Produce Show, a top-notch trade-only event in New York in the busiest time of year, December~!










The success of this show in our experience started with the genius of David Sasuga, who told us about it in the first place. After he retired, we were most impressed with Sunkist and John Slagel, a superstar for Sunkist plus he knows hockey. Jodean Robbins Duarte, below at the cocktail party with Peachy, has run the show so well from where we sit for the entire duration and in nearly 30,000 posts the only other person that has run a trade show as well as Jodean is Phyllis Rein (FSNYE), pictured here. 2024 was a continuation of the past success of previous years and surely Jim Prevor is looking down proudly. Right now, Whom You Know is in the process of presenting review opportunities to the owners of the best brands that were at this show, and the successful brands post-review will as always be published upon in the future. In our nearly 16-year history, we have published on thousands of restaurants and hundreds of food brands and alcohol brands, and our newest culinary column, Sensational Salads, celebrates the very best Peachy's Picks who showcase their produce with style and nutrition better than their competition.  Who knows, maybe they will read about a brand we discovered here and you'll find it in your next salad...
Put December 3, 2025 on your planner for next year and we look forward to the next Produce Show!  We think this should be twice a year, also at the beginning of the summer, obviously only in Manhattan.

Baby Reds® Mashed Potatoes 4 Pack Cups

Idahoan’s Baby Reds® Mashed Potatoes Cup, from snacks to work-time lunch sides. The flavor of Idahoan’s best, now in an ultra-convenient 4-count pack.

#CanadaPeachy #PeachysPantry #APeachybyanyothernamedoesSmellasSweet HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, CLEARLY CANADIAN ADDS CANS TO THEIR GROWING PORTFOLIO

OH CANADA, WHAT A HIT!
Iconic Clearly Canadian Brand Expands their Portfolio with New 6-Pack Can offerings to provide Consumers more convenience and value, including ORCHARD PEACH, the PEACHIEST of them all!
Obviously, it's what Peachy Deegan is drinking, and the Whom You Know team adored all three flavors including Mountain Blackberry and Wild Cherry.
HAT TRICK IN PEACHY'S STOMACH!
THE ULTIMATE WAY TO HYDRATE THIS SUMMER!
Oh Canada, our home and native land (well not really, Peachy's from Connecticut but went to enough Hartford Whalers games to know O Canada by heart), true patriot love of water, calling tastebuds of the world to be at the command of the Clearly Food & Beverage Company ULC, producer of the Clearly Canadian line of premium-flavoured sparkling waters!

They now offer 6-Pack SleekCans in their iconic "Originals" and new "Zero Sugar" flavours. (Everyone knows that Canada is a Kingdom Country, so we will honor and honour their spelling.)
Multipacks and Can formats are joining the iconic blue glass bottle, Fans and retail partners asked and they've delivered.
Oh CANada! Clearly Canadian has added 6-pack Sleekcans to its growing product portfolio. In addition to the Clearly Canadian iconic blue glass bottles, the Company recognized a consumer opportunity to expand into 6-pack Cans to offer their fans better value and new usage occasions to enjoy the brand where glass breakage is a concern. The 6-Pack SleekCans are available in Clearly Canadian's iconic “Originals” and new “Zero Sugar” flavours.

Fueled by a fan-led online crowd-funding campaign, the cross-border cultural staple of the 90's made an incredible comeback completely led by their beloved consumers. The demand for the iconic glass bottles exceeded all expectations and has continued to grow at a market-leading pace. In addition to the Clearly Canadian iconic blue glass bottles, the Company recognized a consumer opportunity to expand into 6-pack Cans to offer their fans better value and new usage occasions to enjoy the brand where glass breakage is a concern.  All the cool kids at Boston College used to drink this in glass at McElroy in Peachy's day!

"The love and desire for Clearly Canadian from our fans never ceases to amaze us. Rest assured that our iconic blue glass bottle is here to stay, as it is preferred by many of our consumers. But our consumers and retail partners have been seeking multipacks and Can formats for some time, and we were able to set up our manufacturing to deliver on that ask", said CEO Paul Tepperman. "In addition to offering fans new occasions and convenient packaging with Cans, we saw an opportunity to provide better value to our fans in the multipack format."

Clearly Canadian recently won several prestigious InnoBev Awards 2024 including "Best in Glass" winner for Clearly Canadian Essence; "Best in Glass" finalist for Clearly Canadian Clearly Sparkling; "Best in Can" finalist for Clearly Canadian Original Cans; and "Best Premium Drink" finalist for Clearly Canadian Clearly Essence.

Clearly Canadian Originals and Zero Sugar Cans are offered in 6-packs of 12oz/355mL SleekCans. Clearly Canadian 'Originals' 6-pack Cans are available in the top flavours from the 90's, including Mountain Blackberry, Wild Cherry, and Orchard Peach and our new Zero Sugar range. Clearly Canadian 6-pack Cans are currently available in the USA at all Kroger banners nationwide, Food Lion, Amazon, and expanding to more Retailers across the USA.

"Our environmental responsibility to protect the nature & beauty of Canada is something we pride ourselves on," said VP of Marketing Casey Howe. "Cans are fully recyclable and can be returned for refund in most of our markets. They simply offer an additional, convenient way for our fans to enjoy Clearly Canadian. It's a sustainable packaging choice to protect our natural sparkling Canadian spring water from source".

"With these exciting product launches, we continue expanding Clearly Canadian's availability to reach wider audiences. Our goal is to maintain our position as North America's fastest-growing and leading premium alternative beverage brand – the brand of choice for conscious consumers who want a better alternative to Soda and know that Clearly Canadian's company ethos permeates through every aspect of the brand," says Tepperman.

In addition to expanding its Can portfolio, Clearly Canadian has expanded its retail footprint and is now available at all Kroger banners, Albertson Safeway, Publix, and Ahold Dalhaize banners. This year, the brand expanded into 1,400 Walmart doors, Costco USA, select Target stores, gopuff, Raley's, Bashas', Loblaws, and Whole Foods in Canada.

"Clearly it's our water that makes us so unique and flavourful. Clearly Canadian is crafted with sparkling Canadian spring water from award-winning springs, natural fruit flavours, and simple ingredients. Our Clearly Canadian 'Originals' lineup is the mid-calorie full-flavoured sparkling spring water category leader, so offering our iconic 'Originals' in Cans is a natural fit," says Howe.

"Cans are our biggest innovation launch on the brand since our retail re-introduction in 2017, and we will continue to provide solutions for our fans to enjoy Clearly Canadian anytime and anywhere," adds Howe.

#PeachysPantry #KeepingItalyonTop #BurrataPeachy Introducing #Gioiella #Since #1942 from #Puglia #Italy #InauguralFeature #HighlyRecommended #PeachyDeegan

Peachy Deegan and Giovanni Zibillo, International Sales Director of Gioiella

It's not who you know and it never has been. It's WHOM YOU KNOW and we know the Italians who seem to consistently blow everyone else out of the water in quality across the board. A high commitment to doing the best work possible, being ethical, being smart, being good for your word, being nice and having a great personality all together will get one quite far in life and on this website, and the Italians as a group do make everyone else look bad, as much as we hate to say it. Peachy is a tiny, tiny percentage Italian and the percentage goes up probably with her increased commitment to mozzarella and burrata consumption. Lactose is our friend too.

Today we are talking about
which is from PUGLIA/APULIA.

Don't worry if you can't speak Italian either.
Like most Americans, Peachy is hardly bilingual and her six years of French plus the most amazing private tutor in Paris have not made her fluent yet.  Once she figures that out perfectly, she'll get started on Italian which she started in 2011 with Rosetta Stone...but only kept up with the eating part: and that is exactly what you should do too!
You can make friends that speak Italian.
Vito, Peachy and Gianfranco

Thank you to our friend Gianfranco Sorrentino, President of Gruppo Italiano and Founder and Owner of Il Gattopardo (ALAIN DELON we still are absolutely dying to eat dinner there with you-name a time peachydeegan@gmail you need a break from Europe and New York is too much fun to ignore) and The Leopard at Des Artistes, both Peachy's Picks for many years who introduced us to all that is great and Italian at their consulate. Vito and Gianfranco are kind of like Madonna on this website: they don't need a last name. They are that popular.

So the cream rises to the top...and in this case, literally! Gioiella is quite intelligent to put Giovanni Zibillo at the helm of the importing as he knows his products and his English is terrific-essential!

The brand tells us: 

QUALITY IS IN OUR NATURE
THE SECRET IS IN THE MILK

In our supply chain everything flows in harmony, because those who are well produce better.
Gioiella's secret is in the milk of Bruna cows, the natural heir of the noble Podolica, grazing semi-wild on historic farms on the ancient "Via del latte". A territory that is still uncontaminated today, the Murgia Park, a plateau that runs through a large part of Puglia crossing the Itria Valley. An enchanted place, full of greenery, history and natural resources. It is from that magical milk of happy cows grazing that the Gioiella world begins. The milk, coming from a well-supervised production chain, arrives daily at the company, where it is examined and controlled by the internal laboratory, on the basis of rigid and well-defined parameters: breeding methods, stable hygiene and controlled nutrition.

CERTIFICATIONS

THE WORLD IS JEWELRY...and in Peachy's world, she likes to wear it and eat it!

Let's get this Puglia party started. We begin with:

SCAMORZA: Scamorza is a stretched-curd cheese, made with cow's milk. Its name originates from the Italian verb “scamozzare”, which means removing a part.  To put it simply, Scamorza is intense, high-quality mozzarella.  It is like professional mozzarella.  
We tried both AFFUMICATA (Smoked) and BIANCA (White, the original) and respectively each was the wearing diamonds equivalent of eating.  Certainly you could add these to many dishes, but we had them straight and they do not need any extra.  They are the center of attention, obviously!  Puglia is really a region of Italy you should know about because of the excellence of this brand in particular.  The production of fresh scamorza with the classic pear shape is accompanied by small rounds, donuts with holes, loaves, hand-shaped braids, elongated breadsticks and Murgian cylindrical breadsticks

SCAMORZA
Medium consistency string cheese; scamorza has a characteristic pear shape, short neck and head; the color is ivory white which becomes straw yellow as storage continues or following very short maturation. It has a smooth surface and compact consistency. The taste is delicate, slightly savory.

INGREDIENTS USED:
Pasteurized milk, lactic ferments, salt, rennet.
Acidity regulator: lactic acid.
Milk origin: Italy

We also tried the Burrata Cinquanta.  We believe the second word means 50 because there are three in 50g.  What is important to take away from this name is that not all mozzarella and not all burrata is created equally.  This is Italy unleashing its best on the international market for you to discover and obviously devour.  The restaurants are going to be sad you find out about this because once you order it you are going to feel like you are Executive Chef of your Personal Palace and really all you have to do is order it and open it, which is exactly how Peachy likes to cook!  Happy cows make a happy Peachy and a happy you, reader!

Gioiella is Highly Recommended by Whom You Know and we can't wait to tell you what they do next.
Up with Puglia!!!

A bicycle, two brothers and grandmother Paola's savings, two hundred thousand lire in large sheets. Thus began from Gioia del Colle, almost a century ago, the dream of the brothers Sebastiano and Francesco Capurso with the story of the most famous mozzarella in Italy: the "Gioiella". A small shop in the center of the town and a bicycle adapted in a rudimentary way to transport milk marked the fate of Gioiella, the renowned one hundred gram mozzarella which from Gioia would arrive on tables throughout Italy. After more than seventy years, our goal is still to grow and improve. Gioiella continues to be synonymous with quality and innovation.

#PeachysPantry @steepedcoffee Take a Look at Steeped Coffee!

We love Nespresso for everyday coffee, but these convenient coffee bags do the trick.   Amazing for trips-just pop them in your carry on!  You never know when Starbucks at the airport won't be open and even the New York airports don't have Starbucks open 24/7.  You won't feel like you gave up delicious coffee; it's super easy and tastes amazing! A perfect gift to kick off the New Year!
