FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NEW FOODSERVICE SIZES FROM WING-TIME

Buffalo wing sauce manufacturer Wing-Time has converted their foodservice pack size for broader appeal. Wing-Time’s previous foodservice size, 5 gallon pails, was the ideal size for high volume wing restaurants. “Over the years, our customers have been requesting a more user friendly size,” says Wing-Time founder, owner and sauce creator Terry Brown. “So we listened to our customers and are now packing our sauces for the foodservice industry into cases of 4 x 1 gallons. The new sizes are easier for our customers to handle, pour, and store and just overall more convenient.” Brown adds, “We also know that the new pack size will be much more attractive to larger chain customers as well as distributors.”

Wing-Time has already secured distribution with specialty food distributor Distribution Plus Inc. - Northwest (DPI NW) for their new 4 x 1 gallon sizes.  A large retail customer of theirs is launching a wing bar program in their chain featuring Wing-Time Medium and Super Hot flavors.

Since 1994, Wing-Time has been producing an entire line of authentic Buffalo-style chicken wing sauces under the Wing-Time brand. Tagged “the sauce that clings to your wings”, the entire line is sugar free, gluten free, all natural, preservative free and low in sodium. Flavors include: Mild with Parmesan, Medium, Hot, Garlic with Parmesan and Super Hot (habanero peppers) and are available in 13 oz. bottles for retail, 1 gallon jugs for foodservice and gift packs.

Call 970-871-1198 or visit www.wingtime.com for more information on Wing-Time’s new foodservice program.

All Natural Marries with Bodacious Taste in Geraldine’s® New Cookie Line

June 23rd, 2008

All Natural Marries with Bodacious Taste in Geraldine’s®
New Cookie Line

Jasper, GA, 06/02/08 Six months of testing were needed to develop the newest offerings from the Bodacious Food Company. Geraldine’s® has taken their popular Key Lime Cookie along with two new varieties of Wedding Cookies and formulated them with All Natural ingredients.

Each of these cookies boasts a unique blend of sugar coating developed for Bodacious Food Company. David Hays, company Chairman, attests,
“We have baked a key lime cookie for several years with “off the shelf” sugar coatings, but it included several ingredients not even close to our all-natural qualification. It took months of trial and error, but we have created a formula that tastes even better than the previous cookie. The coating clings well to the cookie and it’s 100% all-natural. It was the breakthrough we were looking for.”

Key Lime Cookies, “A Taste of the Tropics in Every Bite”, have been a best-seller for Geraldine’s® before the all-natural reformulation. They still infuse genuine key lime juices from Florida as well as a tango of sweet and tart flavors that make Geraldine’s® Key Lime Cookies an irresistible treat.

A customer request for a “Mexican style” wedding cookie led to the birth of the Santa Barbara Wedding Cookie. However, when Bodacious Food Company President and Chief Sales Honcho Cathy Cunningham Hays began discussions with clients about the new cookie, she realized that the flavor profile of a Mexican wedding cookie was not even as well-known as she initially thought. One common question Hays faced was, “Are they spicy?”

While it may be served at a spicy wedding ceremony, the product has evolved into one sweet cookie. Cathy Cunningham Hays remembered Santa Barbara as a beautiful locale for weddings; hence, the namesake of the cookies was born. Starting with a shortbread base, Geraldine’s® adds roasted pecans and cinnamon to give this sugar-coated cookie a Bodacious blast of flavor.

- MORE -
The Italian Wedding Cookie is another version of the new Geraldine’s® Bodacious cookie line. This cookie, also known as “butterballs”, has served as a staple of Italian desserts for years. Geraldine’s® version utilizes perfectly toasted almonds and a hint of amaretto covered by their custom sugar coating for a flavor that must be tasted to believe!

The three newly-introduced cookies are being added to Geraldine’s® popular line of All-Natural Cheese Straws. “With these new cookies, our entire product line is now all natural,” states Hays.

Customers are looking for “better for you” products. While this was Geraldine’s® goal, they would not sacrifice Bodacious taste in the process. “It’s got to be Bodacious to be Geraldine’s®!”
Geraldine’s® Bodacious Food Company, established in 1995, houses its bakery and production line in the Appalachian foothills of north Georgia, distributing its cheese straw and gourmet cookie varieties nationally in supermarkets, discount retailers and online. Yes, there is a “Geraldine”; Cathy’s mother is the namesake, as it was her recipe for cheese straws that launched the company.

ITO EN INTRODUCES FIRST BLACK TEA IN THE TEAS’ TEA LINE

Renowned green tea line expands its repertoire to include Pure Black Darjeeling Tea

 

NEW YORK (May 27, 2008) - ITO EN (North America) INC., the world’s leader in green

teas, introduces the first black tea to their award-winning line of TEAS’ TEA, a line of all-natural, unsweetened bottled teas made with nothing but high quality tea leaves and purified water. TEAS’ TEA provides a refreshing alternative to carbonated and sweetened beverages.

The Darjeeling tea leaf is grown in the Darjeeling region of West Bengal, India, where it gets its name, which means “Land of the Thunderbolt.” This location, at the foot of the Himalayas, near the mountain kingdoms of Nepal and Bhutan, makes the tea both rare and unique in flavor.

“We’re seeing a renewed popularity in tea drinking in the U.S. and, with it, an increased demand for black teas,” said Rona Tison, senior vice president of corporate relations for ITO EN. “The flavor profile of Americans is changing and their palates are evolving to recognize subtle difference in the quality of what they are drinking. Consumers are recognizing that ready-to-drink tea is much like a fine bottle of wine in terms of complexity. As ITO EN believes in producing only the highest quality products, Darjeeling, the ‘Champagne of Teas,’ was the natural extension of our TEAS’ TEA line.”

TEAS’ TEA retails for $1.99 and can be found at mass merchandise stores, grocery stores and specialty natural food retailers nationwide; including Whole Foods, Super Target, Bashas’ Supermarket and Wegman’s. TEAS’ TEA can also be ordered at www.itoen.com. For more information, please visit the website.

About ITO EN (North America) INC.

Established in 1966, Japan-based ITO EN, LTD. was founded to market green tea, a traditional Japanese beverage.  The company launched in the United States in 2002 with the opening of their flagship store on Madison Avenue. Today, ITO EN is firmly positioned as the world’s leading supplier of green tea leaves and green tea beverages, developing a steady stream of new products that specifically address customer needs and lifestyles. Known as a trendsetter in Japan’s beverage industry, intensive research and development has allowed the company to cultivate better tea, and positioned them as the first company to create a patented method of bottling green tea in a manner that carefully preserves its distinct flavor and integrity.  Additional information can be accessed through www.itoen.com.

Bella Cucina introduces the original Tuscan Grill

June 19th, 2008

Bella Cucina introduces an Alice Waters’ slow food favorite, the original Tuscan Grill.

Bella Cucina Artful Food, the award winning producer of artisan foods, is introducing the original Tuscan Grill at the New York Fancy Food show in June. Creator and owner, Alisa Barry, traveled to Tuscany, Italy to find an artisan metalsmith who would produce each Tuscan Grill by hand, which will now be available by special order to specialty food & gift retailers throughout the United States.

The original Tuscan Grill was modeled from an 18th century Italian grill design. Alice Waters, founder of Chez Panisse Restaurant in Berkeley, California, says, “The Tuscan Grill is a indispensable in my kitchen. I’ve cooked over it for 20 years. It makes grilling a pleasure!”

Bella Cucina Artful Food is delighted to have Alice Waters’ support!

For centuries, Tuscans have been using the grill as their primary cooking source. In the summertime, cooking outside keeps the kitchen cool. In the winter, cooking in the fireplace with seasoned hardwood is a warming way to enjoy the aromatic flavors of the direct heat grilling experience.

Zen Rabbit Baking Company Introduces The Gratitude Cookie (TM)

June 18th, 2008

Zen Rabbit Baking Company Introduces The Gratitude CookieTM
Palm Beach Gardens, FL (June 18, 2008) – The power of gratitude is now available in a delicious and edible form. The Gratitude CookieTM by Zen Rabbit Baking Company is a delicious cross between a butter and a sugar cookie. It also serves a greater purpose by including inspirational sayings in each box of thin, crunchy treats and encouraging eaters to reflect on something they are grateful for each time they reach for another.
Inside the box of one dozen cookies is a card with “Gratuities - Tips on Bringing More Joy to Your Life.” A variety of cards have been printed with different tips - “Focus on a diet of positive and inspirational information” - for example. On the back side of the card is the question “What are you grateful for today?” and space to fill in an answer.

“Most people are familiar with the power of gratitude concept, but in the chaos of everyday life, it’s easy to forget. The Gratitude CookieTM is an easy and delicious reminder to stop and reflect,” says Lori Saitz, Founder and Chief Executive Rabbit.

Cookie eaters can inspire others and share their gratitude stories at GratitudeCookie.com.
“In his book “Thanks: How the New Science of Gratitude Can Make You Happier,” Prof. Robert Emmons says the practice of gratitude can increase happiness levels by about 25%,” explains Saitz. “Our goal with this cookie is to help people focus on being grateful and thereby increase their happiness. Plus, this is a really good cookie!”

The Gratitude Cookie™ is available through GratitudeCookie.com or at select gourmet markets and tea houses nationwide. Wholesale orders can be made by calling 561.889.8195 or via email at orders@ZenRabbitCookies.com.
Made from natural ingredients and without hydrogenated oils or artificial flavors, colors or preservatives, The Gratitude CookieTM began as a family recipe. In 2003, Zen Rabbit Baking Company was established as a woman-owned business to help business people say “thank you” by giving cookie packages to their clients and colleagues. This new retail packaging is for distribution in gourmet and specialty food markets, coffee houses and tea cafes, hotels, resorts and spas. It will also be available online at ZenRabbitCookies.com.
Zen Rabbit believes that having the ability to read and comprehend what you read is certainly something to be grateful for. According to ProLiteracy Worldwide, 93 million adults in the U.S. and 800 million worldwide are functionally illiterate. A portion of company profits go to literacy organizations that work to help improve literacy rates around the world.
