Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - With St. Patrick's Day just around the corner (Tuesday, March 17th), get into the holiday spirit by stocking up on "must-have" ingredients for your "luck of the Irish" shindig. We will have all sorts of farm-to-table produce and artisan foods to please the palate, especially the cheesy goodness of our artisan cheeses.

Don Queso - Encouraged by his father to become a cheese maker, Nestor Soderguit set out to turn fresh, local cow milk into an undeniably, luxurious cheese. Among his best-selling varieties are Panela and panela with basil (great for salads and sandwiches), Manchego, Requeson, Oaxaca-style and Queso Fresco (the perfect garnish for tortilla soup and chilaquiles). And if you're looking for something special to prepare your St. Patrick's Day menu, grab a jar of Don Queso's infused organic olive oil. Learn more at Avenida Zeus #186, on Facebook or by calling (322) 224-1218.

Hortalizas Palomera - Yes, Hortalizas Palomera offers a beautiful array of herbs, greens and gourmet baby vegetables. But did you know they also sell cheese? That's right, Alejandra's mother, Maria, is a cheese maker who brings her long-time cheese-making traditions to the market every Saturday. After buying milk from a nearby relative, Maria crafts her cheeses on her family farm in San Jose del Valle, just outside Bucerias. Her specialties include Panela, Queso Fresco and Jocoque. You can find Maria's cheeses as well as farm-fresh eggs and her handmade tortillas at the Hortalizas Palomera booth. Call (329) 295-0982 for more info.

Only Cheese/Todo Lacteos - Third-generation farmer and cheese-maker Rigoberto Gonzalez Ramos is proud to present his all-natural artisan cheese at the market. He milks his 30 cows and allows for a 3-day curing process before packaging his farm-fresh cheese. Rigoberto's top sellers include Jalapeño Adobera, Provolone and Oaxaca-style. While you're visiting the Only Cheese stall, be sure to sample the undeniably delicious smoked cheese. And if you're a goat cheese fan, don't miss Only Cheese's famous Feta and creamy Boursin in chipotle, ash, and natural flavors. (392) 922-7816.
