Tarta de queso con uvas al estilo vasco

Tiempo de preparación: 15 minutos, más enfriamiento y refrigeración
Tiempo de cocción: 40 minutos
Porciones: 12

  • 2 tazas de uvas verdes de California, divididas
  • 1/4 taza, más 2/3 taza, azúcar granulada, dividida
  • 2 1/2 cucharadas de maicena
  • 2 pizcas grandes de sal kosher
  • 21 onzas de queso crema, a temperatura ambiente
  • 1 taza de crema espesa o crema de leche, fría
  • 4 huevos grandes, a temperatura ambiente
  • 2 cucharadas de licor de naranja (opcional)
  1. Caliente el horno a 425 F con la rejilla en el centro. Use una hoja de papel pergamino de 12 por 16 pulgadas para forrar un molde desmontable de 9 pulgadas en el centro. Presione el papel en el borde inferior de molde y alise las arrugas alrededor de los lados. Coloque el molde en una bandeja para hornear poco profunda.
  2. En una mini licuadora o procesador de alimentos, mezcle 1 taza de uvas, 1/4 taza de azúcar, maicena y sal a velocidad alta hasta que quede suave, aproximadamente por 1 minuto.
  3. En un tazón de una batidora eléctrica equipada con paleta, bata el queso crema y el azúcar restante hasta que quede esponjoso, 1-2 minutos. Con la batidora a velocidad media, vierta gradualmente la crema espesa; raspar los lados y batir a alta velocidad hasta que la mezcla parezca crema batida suave, aproximadamente 1 minuto. Batir los huevos, uno a la vez, raspando cada vez que incorporas uno. A velocidad media, agregue gradualmente la mezcla de puré de uva; raspe y mezcle hasta que esté bien mezclado, por 1 minuto.
  4. Vierta la masa en el molde preparado, llévelo al horno y hornee de 38 a 40 minutos hasta que la tarta esté inflada y la parte superior esté dorada como caramelo. Aparecerán grietas alrededor de los bordes y la tarta se tambaleará cuando se toque suavemente con el dedo. Coloque el molde para tartas en una bandeja para hornear sobre una rejilla para que se enfríe. La tarta se hundirá a la mitad de su altura. Enfríe a temperatura ambiente, 1-2 horas, luego refrigere sin tapar. No saque la tarta del molde hasta que esté bien fría, al menos 5 horas o toda la noche.
  5. Corte las uvas restantes en mitades o en rodajas. En un tazón pequeño, combine las uvas con el licor de naranja, si lo desea, y reserve.
  6. Cuando esté listo para servir, retire el lado de la sartén. Retire con cuidado el papel pergamino arrugado del costado de la tarta de queso y luego pásela a un plato para servir quitando el papel del fondo de la tarta y debajo del molde mientras tira suavemente de la tarta hacia el plato y fuera del papel.
  7. Adorne la parte superior de la tarta de queso con la mezcla de licor de uva, si lo desea, o con uvas frescas. Corte la tarta en triángulos con un cuchillo delgado y afilado.

Nota: La tarta de queso se puede preparar hasta con 2 días de anticipación. Una vez que la tarta esté bien fría, cubra el recipiente con una envoltura de plástico hasta que esté lista para servir.

  2. Coloque un colador de malla mediana sobre el tazón y vierta la mezcla de uvas. Presione suavemente sobre los sólidos para extraer el jugo de la fruta de aproximadamente 2 tazas de sidra de uva.
  3. Con el pelador, pelar una tira grande de cáscara de naranja y añadirla al zumo caliente. Dejar enfriar, tapar y refrigerar.

Organic Dried Fruit Market Set to Hit $5.78 Billion by 2033: What’s Fueling the Surge?

The global organic dried fruit market is projected to reach $5.78 billion by 2033, fueled by rising demand for clean-label, healthy snacks and innovative packaging. Discover key trends, opportunities, and insights shaping this fast-growing industry.

Health, Innovation, and Sustainability Drive Organic Dried Fruit Market Growth

Health, Innovation, and Sustainability Drive Organic Dried Fruit Market Growth


Organic Dried Fruit Market Set to Hit $5.78 Billion by 2033: What’s Fueling the Surge?

The global appetite for organic dried fruit is showing no signs of slowing down. According to a new report from Verified Market Reports®, the organic dried fruit market is projected to soar from $3.35 billion in 2024 to a remarkable $5.78 billion by 2033, powered by a steady 6.5% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). Let’s break down what’s behind this impressive growth—and what it means for consumers, brands, and producers alike.

Why the Boom in Organic Dried Fruit?

Health and Clean Labels Take Center Stage Consumers are increasingly seeking out snacks that are both nutrient-dense and clean-label. Organic dried fruit checks both boxes, offering a plant-based, minimally processed option for health-conscious shoppers. With more people prioritizing wellness and clean eating, demand is surging across both retail shelves and e-commerce platforms. Innovation in Processing and Packaging Today’s dried fruit is a far cry from the chewy raisins of the past. Advances in dehydration technology and packaging—think vacuum-drying, low-temperature dehydration, and modified-atmosphere packaging—are preserving nutrients and extending shelf life. The result? Higher-quality products, new flavor blends, and a premium snacking experience. Sustainability and Traceability Matter It’s not just about what’s in the bag, but where it comes from. The market is seeing a push for greater transparency, with blockchain-based traceability and partnerships focused on regenerative agriculture. Brands that can verify their sourcing and sustainability practices are earning consumer trust and commanding premium prices.

Market Trends and Opportunities

  • Premiumization: Shoppers are trading up to certified organic, branded dried fruit for both snacking and as functional ingredients. This is driving higher average selling prices and margins for brands that can deliver on quality and story.
  • Private Label Growth: Retailers are expanding their own organic dried fruit lines, adding competition and encouraging established brands to innovate with new formats and blends.
  • Beyond Snacking: Dried fruit isn’t just for snacking anymore. It’s popping up in cereals, bakery items, health supplements, and even premium foodservice applications like mixology and garnishes.
  • Regulatory Landscape: Stricter pesticide controls and harmonized organic certifications are shaping market access, especially in Europe and North America. Companies that stay ahead of these standards are better positioned for export growth.

Global Market Structure

  • Asia Pacific is leading in production and export growth, thanks to efficient processing infrastructure and expanding organic acreage.
  • Europe dominates premium demand, with high per-capita consumption and rigorous regulatory standards.
  • North America is a major market for both branded and private-label organic dried fruit, driving innovation and ingredient partnerships.
  • India & the Middle East are building their processing capacity and emerging as key exporters, particularly to Gulf and African markets.

Key Players and Competitive Landscape

Industry leaders like National Raisin, Murray River Organics, Sunsweet, Alfoah, and Ocean Spray are shaping the future of the market through innovation, strategic partnerships, and a focus on quality and traceability. The competition is heating up as private labels and established brands vie for shelf space and consumer loyalty.

Looking Ahead

The organic dried fruit market is evolving from a niche health food to a mainstream snacking and ingredient platform. Success will hinge on supply chain transparency, innovative product development, and the ability to meet evolving regulatory and consumer demands. As the market grows, opportunities abound for both established players and new entrants who can deliver high-quality, traceable, and sustainably sourced options. For those in the food industry, now’s the time to pay attention to this dynamic category—whether you’re a retailer, producer, or health-conscious consumer looking for your next favorite snack.

Winder Farms Brings Its Famous Eggnog to Costco: A Utah Tradition Expands

Winder Farms, Utah’s oldest dairy brand, launches its famous fresh eggnog at select Costco locations along the Wasatch Front. Discover why this local holiday favorite stands out and where you can find it this December.

Winder Farms Brings Its Famous Eggnog to Costco: A Utah Tradition Expands

A Taste of Tradition Now at Costco Warehouses
Winder Farms, a name synonymous with Utah’s dairy heritage, is making headlines once again. As of December 5th, their beloved eggnog—long a holiday staple for many local families—will be available at select Costco locations along the Wasatch Front. This marks the first time Winder Farms’ iconic products have hit Costco shelves, a major milestone for the 145-year-old company.

Winder Farms’ Famous Eggnog

A Legacy Reclaimed and a New Chapter Begins
Recently reacquired by members of the Winder family, the company has been moving fast to reconnect with both loyal customers and new audiences. “We hope to reach more of our customer’s demand for our products by making them available in more places,” said James Winder, Chairman & CEO. “There is a lot of overlap between our target demographic and that of Costco’s, so it’s natural to be there.”
This launch is a test run, with Winder Farms’ eggnog debuting in limited quantities at three major Costco locations: Bountiful, Murray, and Salt Lake City—the latter being the largest Costco in the world. If the response is strong, there’s hope for a broader rollout, possibly including their award-winning chocolate milk at all 13 Wasatch Front Costcos next year.
Why Winder’s Eggnog Stands Out
Unlike many mass-market brands, Winder Farms’ eggnog is “fresh” pasteurized, not ultra-pasteurized, preserving that rich, creamy taste locals have loved for generations. It’s also one of the few local dairy brands to make it onto Costco’s shelves, aligning with the retailer’s commitment to supporting local producers.
A Commitment to Community—and Convenience
Winder Farms isn’t just looking to expand in big-box stores. The company continues to focus on regaining its home delivery roots and building new retail partnerships. “We have a very loyal customer base and we intend to make our products as available as possible,” Winder said. Whether you shop at Costco, Instacart, or your neighborhood Smith’s or Harmons, Winder’s products are now more accessible than ever.

A Utah Classic, Now for More to Enjoy
Founded in 1880, Winder Farms is Utah’s oldest continuously operating food and beverage brand. This latest move into Costco is more than just a business milestone—it’s a celebration of local tradition, quality, and community spirit.
If you’re in the Bountiful, Murray, or Salt Lake City area, keep an eye out for Winder Farms’ famous eggnog at your local Costco. And if the shelves are empty? That’s just proof that good things—especially during the holidays—don’t last long.
