The Gateway to Bourbon Country:
Blue Cheese and Toasted Walnut Crostinis with Kentucky Sweet Sorghum

I was searching for new fun recipes when I came across this website www.bourbonbarrelfoods.com, and what isn’t fun about bourbon?  Here is a little bit about the company from their website:

Bourbon Barrel Foods is a maker of gourmet food products that reflect the rich heritage of Kentucky’s Bourbon Country, “The Napa Valley of the Bluegrass.”  Our philosophy is to make quality gourmet sauces and seasonings by adhering to a three-word philosophy: slow, small, simple.  From the farmer in southern Kentucky who grows the soybeans for our naturally fermented, small-batch soy sauce, to the grower in Eastern Kentucky who harvests the sorghum we use as a sweetener, we have a hands-on approach that requires us to search for the best the state has to offer and develop relationships with the farmers who get great satisfaction seeing their crops grow from the seed to the shelf.

Bourbon Barrel Foods is located in Louisville, Kentucky.  The Gateway to Bourbon Country.

Fantastic!!  What’s even better is that they have recipes on their site that look amazing.  I am going home this afternoon to make this one!!
