Wasabi

Unlike the fiery green paste served in most sushi restaurants, real wasabi doesn’t come from horseradish and mustard. It’s a root that, when shaved, provides a much more complex kick. Real Wasabi grows its wasabi roots in mountain streams in North Carolina as well as Asia, and sells its product to grocery stores, restaurants, and online customers.

Trout from Sunburst Trout Farm in Western North Carolina. Gourmet did a small piece on their trout roe caviar.

Trout is an extremely local food in Western North Carolina. Just buy a license to fish....

Goat cheese from Spinning Spider Creamery. They make several amazing chevre flavors as well as bloomy rind cheeses and hard, raw milk cheeses.
