~Gelato~

Gelato is more than a dessert-it is a state of mind.

Dr. James Pivetti of Reggio Emilia, the home of Parmesan cheese, first introduced Chef John Folse to true gelato. It was sitting on a bench in Parma’s town square that his palate first experienced a dessert he was destined to make and name after his friend. This creamy, intensely flavored delicacy is smoother than sherbet and richer than ice cream.
Try some of our unique flavors such as White Chocolate, Raspberry, Pistachio, Rum Raisin, Strawberry and Chocolate Hazelnut. You’ll find Bittersweet Plantation Dairy’s Pivetti’s Choice Premium Gelato is authentic in every detail. We offer it as a nod to the rich Italian American influence on our Creole cuisine and as a tribute to our good friend and inspiration Dr. James Pivetti. Enjoy!

~Holy Cow - Vache Sante'~

Holy Cow - Vache Sante' - This bloomy rind cow’s milk cheese builds its tremendous flavor characteristics through longer aging. Although a triple cream, the one-and-a-half to three pound catch weight size allows the cheese to slowly soften over a ten to twelve week period without achieving a molten state. Perfect for cheese trays, eating alone, or as an added flavoring to rich lobster or oyster bisque, no wonder it’s named Holy Cow!

Feliciana Nevat -Our soft-ripened cow and goat's milk cheese is patterned after the Catalonian Nevat from Spain. The name Nevat comes from a Catalan word for snow and refers to the powdery rind and mountain-like shape of the cheese itself. Bittersweet Plantation Dairy chose to name its version "Feliciana" a Spanish word for happy land. The Feliciana parishes were so named by Don Bernardo de Galvez, an early governor of the then Spanish Louisiana colony. The beautiful rolling hills found there are the closest thing to mountains the Bayou can claim, though they are seldom sprinkled with snow.
