GOURMET NEWS www.gourmetnews.com n JANUARY 2019 n GOURMET NEWS 3 4 Fabrique Délices Refreshes Branding, Visual Identity Fabrique Délices just redesigned its website; the new design gives a fresh look that better reflects the high quality of the company's products. "We wanted to create a style that accurately reflects the artisanal side of our products with a twist of modernity," said Sébastien Espinasse, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. The company is currently redesigning its entire line of products: organic flatbread crackers, pâtés, rillettes and mousses, truffle butters, cornichons, dry and cured meat, spe- cialty meats and all-natural sausages. The new modern design features a bright color palette that catches the eye. Each label is printed with vivid colors and with the product name written on a chalkboard. This emphasizes the authentic and traditional as- pect of the products. This combination creates just the right style for Fabrique Délices charcuterie. With this new change, the products immediately stand out on grocery store shelves. Charcuterie products have, undoubtedly, trended over the last few years – however, pâtés, rillettes and mousses are still unfamil- iar to the American diet. In order to demon- strate how to enjoy these specialties, Fabrique Délices sleeves provide easy-to-un- derstand instructions: within the sleeve, drawings detail how to build a charcuterie board, how to unmold pâtés, how to store the products and more. "We want to be sure to provide the tastiest experience for our cus- tomers," said Sebastien. The new look has now shipped to retailers nationwide and has received great feedback from customers. Traditional and Artisanal Charcuterie since 1985 Fabrique Délices is based in Hayward, Cali- fornia, and has been preparing time-honored classics along with innovative products for more than 30 years. With dedicated attention to consistent quality, Fabrique Délices has created an of- fering of more than 100 traditional French delicacies, including all-natural pâtés and mousses, duck breast, duck rillettes, boudins, sausages, truffle butters, cornichons and many more.

Goya Unveils Sculpture of Founder in Celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month Goya Foods, the largest Hispanic owned food company in the United States, unveiled a sculpture of the Founder of Goya Foods Don Prudencio Unanue in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month on Wednesday, October 10, 2018 at the Goya Foods head- quarters in Jersey City. "Today is a historic day for Goya," said Bob and Peter Unanue, President and Exec- utive Vice President of Goya Foods, and grandchildren of Don Prudencio Unanue. "For generations to come, this sculpture will serve not just as a reminder of our grandfather's extraordinary life and legacy, but as an inspiration to all of us that through hard work and dedication the American dream is possible." In 1904, Don Prudencio Unanue left Spain for Puerto Rico at the age of 18. Like many immigrants, he left behind his home and risked it all to find better opportunities and a new horizon for his life. He met his wife Carolina in Puerto Rico, who also left Spain, and together they moved to New York City to find work and to study. In 1936, during the Spanish Civil War, they started Goya in a small storefront on Duane Street in Lower Manhattan. Driven by the belief that there was a growing consumer market for high- quality, fresh tasting Latin foods, they began catering to local Hispanic families by distrib- uting authentic Spanish products including olives, olive oil and sar- dines. Don Prudencio's entre- preneurial spirit and mar- keting insight led him to create the most recogniza- ble Latin food brand in the United States that would also become an iconic symbol and institution for the Hispanic community. The history and story of Goya are as much about the impor- tance of family and values, as it is about achieving the American dream and helping to cultivate the Latin culture and culinary landscape in the United States. The sculpture was designed and created by Maritza Hernandez, a Cuban born, Chicago- based artist and sculptor. The three-foot bronze sculpture of Don Prudencio Unanue sits on a four-foot granite base and is planted at the front entrance of the national headquarters of Goya Foods in Jersey City. About Goya Foods Founded in 1936, Goya Foods, Inc. is America's largest Hispanic-owned food company, and has estab- lished itself as the leader in Latin American food and condiments.
