The machine stocks 18 products, including any of the Ariston Specialties olive oils and balsamic vinegars. Consumers choose a bottle size – either 8.5 ounces or 17 ounces – and use a touch screen to custom- blend their mixtures, which can include four to six items in a blend that's selected by adjusting sliders on the screen. You can do your own. You can say, "No, I feel creative today. I want to do my own." The dispenser provides en- tertainment and engagement value for consumers together with a gourmet experience. It is not a dressing created in a lab with flavor enhancers and ad- ditives – it's totally fresh and to- tally natural – all natural award-winning products with a fun way to buy them.

GN Ariston Specialties Debuts My Dressing Center Bellucci offers 100 percent Italian extra virgin olive oil from a company dedicated to ensuring the authenticity of its products since the brand's inception.

With rigorous third-party certification, retailers can offer Bel- lucci to their customers with even greater confidence. The certi- fication attests to the accuracy of Bellucci's system for ensuring product authenticity. Bureau Veritas, founded in 1828, is recog- nized and accredited by major national and international organi- zations. Its certification program goes beyond simple compliance with regulations and standards to reduce risk. With a clear focus on integrity and ethics, impartial counsel and validation, customer concerns and safety at work, its certifying stamp is a powerful in- dicator of all the qualities that invite consumer trust. Bellucci's efforts to combat fraud in the industry and em- power consumers extend be- yond the company's sophisticated traceability system. The award-winning Bellucci Traceability App additionally offers tast- ing instructions and an experience of Italian terroir to impart the skills consumers need both to identify and savor authentic Italian extra virgin olive oil. The brand's signature bottle is also fitted with a tamper-resistant easy-pour spout.

GN Bellucci Olive Oils: Transparent, Verified MarDona Specialty Foods announces four new products to the La Truffe Royale line. After much research, taste testing, rejections and so on, the company came up with these four great new items to add to its La Truffle Royale product line, with the certainty that you will find these to be a great addition to your truffle retail lines. Black Truffle Acacia Honey is the line's replacement for Wild Forest Tupelo Honey after batches of the tupelo honey failed to meet the company's standards. This Black Truffle Acacia Honey is a fine, smooth acacia honey imported from Italy and then blended with black truffle pieces along with MarDona's truffle essence. This honey makes a perfect addition to any cheese platter, roasted poultry, or fresh ricotta cheese and toasted bread. It is perfect for any dish or even as a dip! Black Truffle Rub: MarDona has been working on a truffle ver- sion of a rub for some time. It incorporates a dried black truffle with a hand-harvested salt for the rub to beat all rubs. It's a very fine powder that rubs well into any meat, poultry or seafood. Also, it can be added to sauces and more. Black Truffle Sea Salt: This sea salt is a perfect addition to any- thing you would put salt on. Perfect over fries, onion rings, pizza, all burgers, sand- wiches, popcorn and so much more. The salt is a perfect blend of MarDona's truffle essence mixed with a fine imported sea salt and truffle pieces. Black Truffle Tapenade: This great formula of black truffles, truffle infused oil along with some tender loving care makes a great spread. But it's more than that! Use it straight from the jar and spread over some toasted crusty bread. Or mix with a may- onnaise and create a wild truffle aioli. Add to hot cooked pasta as a great truffle pasta dish. There is no limit to what you can do with it. For more information, visit Mardona Specialty Foods, Ltd. at www.mardonaspecialtyfoods.com or call 855.645.7772 or email info@mardonaspecialtyfoods.com.
