Fresh and Easy and Hill PHOENIX Collaborate on GreenChill Platinum Store in Folsom, CA

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Hill PHOENIX, a designer and manufacturer of commercial refrigeration equipment, and Fresh and Easy Neighborhood Market are pleased to announce the grand opening of a new GreenChill Platinum Award-winning Fresh & Easy store in Folsom, California.”



A R T I C L E:

Hill PHOENIX, a designer and manufacturer of commercial refrigeration equipment, and Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market are pleased to announce the grand opening of a new GreenChill Platinum Award-winning Fresh & Easy store in Folsom, California. GreenChill is an E.P.A. Partnership with food retailers to reduce refrigerant emissions and decrease their impact on the ozone layer and climate change.

A typical supermarket in the U.S. uses approximately 3,500 pounds of refrigerant. The Fresh & Easy Folsom store uses just 70 pounds - a 98 percent reduction that earned it GreenChill's highest award.

"Environmental responsibility is part of our DNA. We've made a commitment to invest in sustainable technologies from the start," said Steve Hagen, director of procurement and engineering at Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market. "Using new natural refrigerants puts Fresh & Easy on the forefront of sustainability our industry and ultimately makes these emerging technologies more cost effective for everyone."

"The Folsom store is a fantastic example of the innovation that can be accomplished when government works together with businesses in a voluntary partnership to protect the environment and save money at the same time," said Deborah Jordan, Director of EPA Region 9's Air Division. "We are proud to be involved in this very successful project."

Fresh & Easy's Folsom store features Hill PHOENIX Second Nature(R) medium temperature fixtures and walk-ins running on glycol and low temperature fixtures and walk-ins running on C02. Glycol and C02 are environmentally friendly, natural alternatives to harmful HFC refrigerants.

"Fresh & Easy selected a Second Nature Compact Chiller system that effectively eliminates all HFCs from the store's refrigeration system by using medium temperature glycol to condense the low temperature CO2. This is typically achieved with an HFC refrigerant," explained Henry Pellerin, director, marketing programs for Hill PHOENIX. "The Folsom Fresh & Easy is the only store in the nation, to date, that uses this innovative type of system."

Hill PHOENIX Second Nature Compact Chiller (SNCC) is the most environmentally friendly system available in the industry today. SNCC utilizes a unique heat exchanger technology that allows engineers to design a typical medium temperature supermarket system with the lowest refrigeration charge of any commercial refrigeration system on the market. As a result, retailers like Fresh & Easy can achieve a sustainable zero leak rate. SNCC is comprised of multiple compact chiller modules. Each module is a standalone refrigeration system and is completely factory-assembled, charged and run-tested prior to delivery.

GreenChill's Store Certification Program is the only certification program in the nation that focuses on greener refrigeration. The Program's chief goal is to reduce refrigerant emissions from supermarkets that damage the Earth's protective ozone layer and contribute to global warming. A pound of leaked refrigerant can cause more global warming than 2000-4000 pounds of carbon dioxide.

About Hill PHOENIX:

Hill PHOENIX Inc., a Dover Company, is based in Conyers, Ga. The company designs and manufactures commercial refrigerated display cases and specialty products, refrigeration systems, integrated power distribution systems and walk-in coolers and freezers. Visit www.hillphoenix.com or call 800-283-1109 for more information.

Fresh & Easy opened its first stores in Southern California, Arizona and Nevada in 2007 and set out to change the way consumers shop by making fresh meals and groceries more affordable and accessible. The company expanded into Northern California last year and now has more than 185 stores.

The company also recycles or reuses all of its display packaging, sending the majority back through its distribution center.

Author: Multi-Flow Industries
Dateline: Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania (HUNTINGDON VALLEY, Pa.)  | Tue, 27 Dec 2011

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Multi-Flow Industries, a manufacturer of fountain-dispensed beverages, announced that it has recently received an 'excellent' rating on their 2011 Silliker Audit with a score of 97.3 percent. The audit covered Food Safety as well as GMP requirements.”



A R T I C L E:

Multi-Flow Industries, a manufacturer of fountain-dispensed beverages, announced that it has recently received an "excellent" rating on their 2011 Silliker Audit with a score of 97.3 percent. The audit covered Food Safety as well as GMP requirements.

Silliker is recognized as one of the world's leading food safety auditing firms, and has been accredited as a certification body for the Safe Quality Food (SQF) program of the Food Marketing Institute (FMI). Their GMP and FSS audits combine a host of recognized industry practices and principles, as well as recommendations from the National Advisory Committee for Microbiological Criteria in Foods, Food and Drug Administration, and United States Department of Agriculture. These comprehensive audit evaluations involve a systems review as well as a physical assessment of the facility in the implementation of food safety and quality systems procedures.

Multi-Flow Industries voluntarily undergoes periodic independent audit scrutiny as part of their commitment to the manufacture of high-quality beverages incorporating sustainable business practices and environmental consciousness.

CEO Mark Stephens of Multi-Flow Industries said, "We feel honored and blessed to have had a record-breaking year, financially, on the eve of our 75th Year Anniversary (which kicks off in February, and will be celebrated throughout 2012). In addition to our earnings reports, and the new brands that we've recently introduced, we are particularly honored to receive an 'excellent' rating in terms of Good Manufacturing Practices and Food Safety from Silliker. Consistent with prior years, the audit results confirm our commitment to our facility, our colleagues, and most importantly, to the finished beverages that we are proud to provide to our customers."

Gary Moore, Director of Quality Assurance at Multi-Flow, is quick to stress the integral role that every employee makes in securing the excellent rating. "This achievement rests on the hard work of every single one of our colleagues, who live and breathe their dedication to Food Safety all year long."

Multi-Flow Industries, based in Huntingdon Valley, PA, produces branded and private label concentrated Iced Teas, Juices, Carbonated Soft Drinks, Energy Drinks and Fortified Functional in Bag-in-the-Box packages. In addition to the recent "Excellent" rating from Silliker, Multi-Flow Industries has been an OSHA VPP Star Site since 2005. Nearly half of Multi-Flow Industries' revenue is derived from private label partnerships with convenience store chains, foodservice operators, and branded bottle and can manufacturers. The balance of Multi-Flow Industries' revenue is generated from route delivery sales out of their 12 warehouses along the East Coast. The company was established in 1937.

"When we tasted baobab for the first time at Expo West in March 2011, we were interested in the flavor option, but once we saw that the nutritional benefits were off the charts, we knew we had the chance to once again create another exciting, innovative entry in the granola category," said Rob Goluba, Director of Marketing for Hearthside Foods. "After our R&D team optimized the Baobab Coconut granola recipe, we quickly introduced this item to our offering to complement our existing industry-leading lineup of delicious bulk granolas."

Hearthside Foods' Baobab Coconut granola is available under the new GT Classic brand, in a 25 lb. bulk case. GT Classic Baobab Coconut granola is loaded with over 27 grams of whole grains per serving and is a good source of fiber and protein. This delicious granola product is available in the bulk foods section of natural and specialty retailers across the country.

Big Bay Brewing Co. Rolls Out Its Next Wave of Craft Beers with the Launch of Long Weekend India Pale Ale

Author: Big Bay Brewing Company
Dateline: Milwaukee, Wisconsin (MILWAUKEE, Wis.)  | Tue, 30 Aug 2011

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “In celebration of Labor Day, the last official long weekend of summer, Big Bay Brewing Co. has introduced its Long Weekend India Pale Ale (IPA). The IPA style brew is the first of a series of limited edition beers to be introduced by the Shorewood, Wisconsin-based craft brewer.”



A R T I C L E:

In celebration of Labor Day, the last official long weekend of summer, Big Bay Brewing Co. has introduced its Long Weekend India Pale Ale (IPA). The IPA style brew is the first of a series of limited edition beers to be introduced by the Shorewood, Wisconsin-based craft brewer.

"The IPA style is a popular craft beer with a strong hop aroma and flavor that complements the lushness of the late summer season. It's a great beer to savor on those final long afternoons on the lake or warm evenings on the deck," said Jeff Garwood, Big Bay Brewing Co. co-founder and managing partner.

Big Bay Brewing's Long Weekend IPA gives a nod to the original heavily hopped English style ale with a nice spicy and floral hop flavor and aroma, balanced with a good malt back bone. The result is a balanced and enjoyable IPA.

IPAs have a rich history dating back to the 18th Century when British colonists needed to ensure that their beer would stay fresh and unspoiled during their long voyages from England to India. Brewers added extra hops and more fermented malt to their ales to prevent spoilage on the journey and to withstand the warmer climates of India. The new style was embraced and came to be known as India Pale Ale.

The introduction of Long Weekend IPA marks Big Bay Brewing's first limited edition brew. It will be available into the fall at which time the brewer will roll out its next limited edition style - a porter.

"Craft beer drinkers are interested in exploring new flavor profiles, and with our limited edition beers we'll be able to deliver a greater variety of beer styles to meet the unique demands of our craft beer consumers throughout the year," said Garwood.

The original test brew of Long Weekend IPA has been available for sampling at the Big Bay Brewing Co.'s Tasting Room and Retail Center, located at 4517 N. Oakland Ave. in Shorewood, Wis., for several weeks and has received positive feedback from tasting room visitors.

The craft brewer introduced its first two beers - Big Bay Brewing's Boatilla Amber Ale(R) and the award-winning Wavehopper Kolsch Style Ale(R) - late last year and both have been well-received by retailers, restaurants and consumers across Wisconsin. Earlier this month, Big Bay Brewing launched its Oh Buoy! Cherry Cola and Pierjumper Twisting Citrus natural gourmet sodas across Wisconsin.

Developed from unique and exclusive recipes that feature proprietary yeast and the highest quality ingredients, Big Bay Brewing beers offer the distinctiveness of Wisconsin's microbrews with a clean finish. They're brewed slowly and methodically resulting in a well-balanced, robust, drinking experience. The company has an alternating proprietorship with the Milwaukee Brewing Company, which leases space, brewing time and equipment to Big Bay Brewing Co.

Big Bay Brewing's Long Weekend, Boatilla Amber Ale and award-winning Wavehopper Kolsch Style Ale are available at select retailers, bars and restaurants across Wisconsin. They are sold at retail in six-packs of 12-oz. bottles, as well as in draft form in 1/4 barrel slim kegs and 1/2 barrels. Big Bay products are sold by local distributors across Wisconsin, including Beer Capitol Distributing Inc., Frank Beer Distributors Inc., CJW Inc., Lee Beverage of Wisconsin, Kay Beer Distributing and Zastrow the Beer Man.

About Big Bay Brewing Co.:

Based in Shorewood, Wis., Big Bay Brewing Co.(R) produces specialty hand-crafted beers and gourmet sodas. Big Bay is built with the vision that life on the water is a little sweeter, and that sweet life is infused in every Big Bay Brewing Co. beverage. Big Bay Brewing's founders believe that craft brewed beverages and life on the water go hand-in-hand. Life on the water means creating moments that turn into memories to be cherished for a lifetime. And, what better way to enhance those moments than with the right beverage.

nourisH2O Nutrient Water is launched by Multi-Flow Industries as an Innovative, New Fountain Beverage

Author: Multi-Flow Industries
Dateline: Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania (HUNTINGDON VALLEY, Pa.)  | Mon, 15 Aug 2011

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Multi-Flow Industries, a Beverage Processor founded in 1937, recently launched an innovative new shelf-stable Fountain-Dispensed Nutrient-Enhanced Water. Dennis Nahill, the Director of Sales Operations, felt that 'There's a tremendous need among Foodservice Operators for Bag-In-the-Box, fortified and flavored water.'”



A R T I C L E:

Multi-Flow Industries, a Beverage Processor founded in 1937, recently launched an innovative new shelf-stable Fountain-Dispensed Nutrient-Enhanced Water. Dennis Nahill, the Director of Sales Operations, felt that "There's a tremendous need among Foodservice Operators for Bag-In-the-Box, fortified and flavored water. Especially now, with sharply rising food costs. Operators can't control the cost of commodities, but at least they can control what they choose to serve, which ultimately pumps up their bottom line."

The genesis of "nourisH20" developed from requests of several healthcare foodservice directors who have experienced a sharp increase in their juice costs (primarily orange juice and apple juice concentrates, which more than doubled in the last 2 years). Nahill stated that "Healthcare facilities that are bound by strict budgets have found that by replacing one serving of orange or apple juice each day with nourisH2O, they can save thousands of dollars annually. These savings are possible because nourisH20 is vitamin-enriched and can easily be substituted for one of the required juice servings per day."

Multi-Flow's Product Development Team, led by Director Owen Rothstein, ensured that nourisH20 met 3 primary requirements. "The first goal," said Rothstein, "was to insist on the 'nutrient' aspect. Our new brand delivers stress-relieving, performance-boosting B-Complex, including cholesterol-improving, detoxifying Niacin, as well as antioxidant-rich Vitamin C, which aids growth and repair of muscles and tissues."

The second goal, according to Rothstein, was to "nourish the palate. We have several flavors that scored exceptionally during blind taste tests, including the subtle sensations of watermelon, strawberry-kiwi, pomegranate and peach. In addition to the flavor, we utilized a light application of Splenda brand sucralose to keep the brand zero-calorie and pleasant tasting."

Upon completion of the nourisH20 branding, Multi-Flow CEO Mark Stephens was pleased enough with the finished product to introduce the brand into the restaurant and hospitality industries. "Consumers continue to demand lower-calorie, better-tasting, healthier beverages," Stephens said. "nourisH20 delivers on every one of those benefits. The brand offers restaurants yet another opportunity to increase revenue by offering their customers an alternative to 'tap water,' which is requested almost 50% of the time during dining occasions, but at zero revenue and a negative margin."

nourisH20 is offered strictly as a fountain beverage, available in Bag-in-the-Box or Cartridges. The brand is available for immediate national distribution to all healthcare locations, restaurants, foodservice, and all other locations that serve fountain-dispensed liquid refreshment beverages.

Big Bay Brewing Co. Introduces Hand-Crafted Gourmet Sodas

Author: Big Bay Brewing Company
Dateline: Milwaukee, Wisconsin (MILWAUKEE, Wis.)  | Mon, 01 Aug 2011

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “With the dog days of summer upon us, Big Bay Brewing Co., producer of hand-crafted specialty beers, announces the introduction of two refreshing all-natural gourmet sodas. The craft brewer, based in Shorewood, Wis., is unveiling its Pierjumper Twisting Citrus and Oh Buoy! Cherry Cola across Wisconsin this month.”



A R T I C L E:

With the dog days of summer upon us, Big Bay Brewing Co.(R), producer of hand-crafted specialty beers, announces the introduction of two refreshing all-natural gourmet sodas. The craft brewer, based in Shorewood, Wis., is unveiling its Pierjumper Twisting Citrus and Oh Buoy! Cherry Cola across Wisconsin this month.

Pierjumper Twisting Citrus is a refreshing citrus blend and Oh Buoy! Cherry Cola is a hand-crafted cola with a cherry finish and a hint of spice. Both sodas feature old-fashioned quality with contemporary, natural flavors and are sweetened with real sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup.

According to Jeff Garwood, Big Bay Brewing Co. co-founder and managing partner, the company has introduced its gourmet sodas in response to the growing interest in premium carbonated beverages made with innovative flavors, high-quality ingredients and natural sweeteners. In fact, the artisanal soda trend has gained enough momentum that Beverage World began covering up-and-coming developments in the category last year, adding it to its "Hit" list.

"It's been exciting to see the innovation and growth that's been happening with craft sodas and we're pleased to deliver two soda flavors made with the same passion and attention to detail as our craft beers," said Garwood. "We see the growth of gourmet sodas running parallel to that of craft beer, and believe our products will appeal to those who appreciate hand-crafted quality whether it's in a beer or a non-alcoholic beverage."

With the hottest days of summer upon us, those looking for a natural thirst-quencher will enjoy Big Bay Pierjumper Twisting Citrus. Like "sunlight captured in a bottle," the refreshing all-natural citrus beverage is the perfect choice any time of day - such as those precious last summer afternoons on the lake, or while enjoying an ocean sunset after a day at the beach.

The hand-crafted quality flavors of Oh Buoy! Cherry Cola may remind the soda drinker of days-gone-by at an old-time beachfront soda fountain, and one might feel the urge to sip it through a red and white striped straw. But make no mistake, with a cherry finish and a hint of spice, this is an all-natural contemporary take on cherry sodas. It can be enjoyed anytime and anywhere a soda drinker is looking for sparkling refreshment in a bottle whether sitting along the banks of a favorite river, lake or stream; or in the backyard watching the kids play in the sprinkler.

The Big Bay sodas have been available for sampling at the Big Bay tasting room for several weeks and the company has received positive consumer feedback. During product sampling, consumers have come up with some interesting thoughts on mixing the Big Bay gourmet sodas with the company's craft beers.

Throughout the soda development process the company founders believed the Pierjumper Twisting Citrus soda would partner well with the brand's award-winning Wavehopper Kolsch Style Ale(R) to create a version of the German Radler-type drink - a lighter alcoholic beverage typically made by mixing equal parts of beer with a citrus soda or carbonated lemonade. (The proportions of the two ingredients can be altered according to taste.) Consumer feedback reinforces it as a refreshing choice for a long, hot summer afternoon or any time a beer drinker might be looking for a lighter option.

Another interesting mixing idea from Big Bay Brewing consumers has been to partner Oh Buoy! Cherry Cola with Big Bay Boatilla Amber Ale(R).

"We've been pleasantly surprised at the innovative ideas our consumers have brought to us for mixing our gourmet sodas and craft beers; and we see them as a way to provide even greater variety to beer drinkers looking for a lighter alternative or a different flavor profile," added Garwood.

Italian Specialties Importer Supplies Celebrities and Restaurateurs with Exclusive Products

Author: Ariola Imports
Dateline: Los Angeles, California (LOS ANGELES, Calif.)  | Wed, 01 Jun 2011

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Ariola Imports is a wholesaler, importer and distributor of the highest quality Italian specialty foods, wine and artisan beer. It not only provides quality products to Southern California and Las Vegas restaurateurs, but also to the occasional celebrity who just has to have some of its amazing Buffalo mozzarella and truffles from Italy.”



A R T I C L E:

Ariola Imports is a wholesaler, importer and distributor of the highest quality Italian specialty foods, wine and artisan beer. It not only provides quality products to Southern California and Las Vegas restaurateurs, but also to the occasional celebrity who just has to have some of its amazing Buffalo mozzarella and truffles from Italy.

The restaurant is a competitive industry and restaurants need purveyors that they can count on to stay on top. They require quality products; fast delivery times; and fair prices. Ariola Imports does all this and more.

"None of our competitors provide the fast turnaround time that we do," says Giuseppe Ariola, owner of Ariola Imports. "For instance, if a client orders a product on a Wednesday, I e-mail my contact in Italy and often, that client will take delivery of the product on Thursday afternoon."

Ariola adds that all products are fresh and never frozen.

"We keep nothing stocked," he explains. "Everything is ordered as needed."

It's this fact that may explain why Hollywood celebrities often call Ariola to supply products for their special parties and events.

"While products are wholesale," explains Ariola, "I can't really turn down some of these special requests."

All of Ariola's products are made in Italy. Some of its most popular products include the fresh Buffalo mozzarella and fresh fish from Orbetello, Tuscany, particularly the Branzino and Orata. These fish are gold and green in color and possess a delicate flavor. They are prized fish in Italian cuisine.

The cheese selection not only includes the much sought-after Buffalo mozzarella which hails from Campania, but also fresh artisan cheeses delivered every week from many different regions around Italy.

"I'm not modest," says Ariola. "We simply have the best."

About Ariola Imports:

Ten years ago Giuseppe Ariola moved to the U.S. from Italy; his first import product was olive oil. It was a natural fit since his family had been in the olive oil business for more than 150 years. Over the years, he has grown Ariola's product list to include some of the most sought-after ingredients in the region. He has personal connections to farmers, winemakers and more.

Currently, Ariola offers products in the following categories: pasta; seafood; meats and specialty meats; cheese; olives; San Marzano tomatoes; Italian truffles; mushrooms; oil and vinegar; condiments; coffee; and desserts.

Back-to-Back Hospice du Rhone Syrah Shoot-Out Wins for Westerhold Family Vineyards and Winemaker Russell Bevan

Author: Westerhold Family Vineyards
Dateline: Santa Rosa, California (SANTA ROSA, Calif.)  | Thu, 12 May 2011

freeNewsArticles Story Summary: “Bennett Valley AVA -- For the second year in a row Westerhold Family Vineyards and Winemaker Russell Bevan have earned the right to take home the highly coveted barrel trophy and 'Coat du Rhone' blazer in the 2011 Syrah Shoot-Out at the Hospice du Rhone celebration held in Paso Robles, California.”



A R T I C L E:

For the second year in a row Westerhold Family Vineyards and Winemaker Russell Bevan have earned the right to take home the highly coveted barrel trophy and "Coat du Rhone" blazer in the 2011 Syrah Shoot-Out at the Hospice du Rhone celebration held in Paso Robles, California.

Each year, the highly anticipated Syrah Shoot-Out hosts a small gathering of winemakers who come together to blind-taste and rate Syrahs made by their peers. This year thirty-nine 2008 Syrahs from around the world were blind-tasted and judged by fellow winemakers, and Westerhold's 2008 Bennett Valley Syrah took top honors.

After hearing the final tally Winemaker Russell Bevan proudly proclaimed, "We liked kicking butt so much last year we did it again. We are so proud of our 2008 Westerhold Family Syrah." Bevan is only the second winemaker to have back-to-back wins in the Shoot-out in the event's nineteen year history.

Owner John Westerhold said, "After our 2007 Syrah won the competition last year we couldn't wait to see how our 2008 Syrah would do. It's such an honor for us to win again and an awesome accomplishment by Russell."

HdR, as it is affectionately known by the thousands of almost fanatically devoted attendees of an event that manages to combine serious wine tasting and irreverent fun, is a non-profit organization that focuses on the promotion of the twenty-two Rhone wine varieties.

Westerhold Family Vineyards is located southeast of Santa Rosa in the Bennett Valley AVA of Sonoma County, and is dedicated to the production of cool-climate, estate grown Syrah. Their inaugural 2007 vintage won them their first Syrah Shoot-out last year. The Westerholds' philosophy is that great wine always starts in the vineyard, and theirs benefits from the well-drained, mountain benchland soils, early morning fog and cool marine breezes in the afternoon that create ideal conditions for growing exceptional cool-climate varieties like Syrah.

Nestled between three mountain peaks (Bennett, Taylor, and Sonoma Mountains) in Sonoma County, the Bennett Valley AVA sits within the Sonoma Valley appellation and overlaps a portion of both the Sonoma Mountain and Sonoma Coast AVA's.

Winemaker Russell Bevan has his own brand, Bevan Cellars, and has garnered high praise from The Wine Spectator and Robert Parker of the Wine Advocate, consistently scoring in the mid to high 90s point range. He is also winemaker for a handful of additional Northern California boutique labels.
