R Field Wine Company

Sliced to order prosciutto di San Daniele, prosciutto di Parma, mozzarella di bufala, burrata, bresaola, cambozola, pate` mousse with truffle, Cambozola, savoiardi "lady fingers", unusual and imported cheese and salumi... Mmmmmm *these* are just a few of my favorite things!! After 11 years in Italy, when I returned to my native Hawai'i it was a bit of a bummer to not be able to relive and share certain foods that became daily dish staples for me. I would boast about this cured meat and THAT parmiggiano and creamy burrata mozzarella... But they were just memories of the past. Hawai'i is my home and i would never move back to Europe but just part of the palate was missing it... Until we stumbled upon R. Field Wine. Tears... ugly, slobbery tears that ruin your makeup. I cried them. But out of joy. Pure joy. You want Italian staples? You can find them here. There are several locations, all found inside or next to Foodland, but the ones I frequent most are Kailua, Ala Moana and Kapolei. All the greatest cured meats I could find in Italy, I can now find at R. Field Wine. Not even kidding. My favorite prosciutto is San Daniele (they tend to butcher the name- but they have it- so I'll take it) and my favorite type of mozzarella is burrata (a little pricey but worth every penny). If you are making a charcuterie/ grazing board to impress, the following are my go-to's from this awesome gem of a place. They give samples if you are unsure about the meat. -Prosciutto San Daniele (the smaller the round, the sweeter-- I like mine salty- so I always ask to see the cut first... **when curing, they hang the meat from smaller end- so all salt and seasoning runs down to bigger part**)-Prosciutto di Parma (the real deal, not that pre-packaged smelly cardboard- same rule as above, the smaller the round, the sweeter- the longer- the saltier)-Speck (if you find scamorza cheese, roll it up in the speck and pan-fry... ooohh!! Amazing!! They're called "uccelletti" or "little birds")-Bresaola (bray-ZA-OH-LA) this is the leanest cured meat you will find. In Italy it is common to find this smoky delicacy in horse meat but the imported one is usually beef. Sprinkle with lemon and olive oil for a model's meal. They eat this when dieting. If you want to make it more exciting, eat it with mozzarella to cut the salt. -Burrata- the creaminess of this mozzarella is unparalleled... doesn't slice well but on pizza or raw with prosciutto or tomatoes is divine. -Pate- they have black truffle duck pate and goose pate- they are amazing- just depends if you like truffle or not! Try them! Cambozola- is like a creamy gorgonzola that is less sharp but melts beautifully on warm crusty bread! Note: not for non-blue cheese lovers. The brave only! Savoiardi- what I use to make tiramisu. Don't forget the mascarpone in the fridge section!R. Field also is home to many wines and liqueurs (as the name suggests) and quality local products like my favorite kauai cocoa for tiramisu, chocolate, coffee and honey. Hope this was helpful! You can't go wrong with any of their salumi! I promise!

Inside Foodland, we found everything we needed to make our mixed drinks and wines for dinner. Good selection for us tourists to get the interesting mixed drink ingredients .

The service at R Field Wine Company in Foodland-Kapolei, is exceptional! Although everyone does a great job, Pua, Michelle and Travis in particular, consistently go above and beyond in welcoming each customer, focusing on the customers needs and making the customer feel special!Pua, Michelle and Travis make the entire R Field Wine Company and Foodland companies shine brilliantly and each should hold and share the title of "Employees of the Year" !

I love the R Field on Beretania, and like this one even more! The staff are really friendly and one of the ladies even offered me samples of some of their cured meats to help me decide on which ones to take home. She was very knowledgeable about the differences in the products. Their selection seems about the same as the Betetania store, but this one also has several premade salads in their display case. Very glad to have their selection of specialty items on this side of the island!

I have yet to fully explore this Foodland because I always end up staying at the R. Fields counter! I'm pretty sure for my past two visits I've spent more than an hour there :P The people there are incredibly knowledgable and friendly, kindly schooling me on the finer things in life that deals with gourmet meats and cheeses.Special thanks to Anna for helping me out today! She made me feel welcome and appreciated, and I had an awesome time trying out all the different cheeses, salami, and prosciutto!If you visit, don't be afraid to ask for advice or samples, they are definitely experts and will happily assist you :)
