GOURMET NEWS MAY 2019 www.gourmetnews.com NATURALLY HEALTHY 1 6 Coolhaus has launched a dairy-free line of frozen desserts to go along with its pre- mium ice creams and ice cream sand- wiches. The plant-based SKUs launched into the retail market through Whole Foods last month, with additional retail distribution following. Thoughtfully crafted with the highest quality ingredients and superior creamy texture the brand is famous for, the Cool- haus dairy-free line is made with a base that differentiates it- self from other vegan ice cream brands on the market by intro- ducing unique ingredients such as organic cocoa- butter, pea pro- tein and organic whole grain brown rice. The dairy-free line will also continue the brand's endeavor to adopt more sustainable practices to keep the Earth healthy. Earlier this year Coolhaus received a certificate from the Culver City Sustainable Business Program for its Going Green initiatives, and now the brand is channeling that same energy into dessert options with environ- mentally-conscious and sustainably- sourced ingredients. Due to an ever-increasing demand for plant-based dessert alternatives, Coolhaus Chief Executive Officer and co-Founder Natasha Case set out to innovate the dairy- free ice cream category with Coolhaus' sig- nature inventive flavors. The dairy-free pint flavors include Salted Caramel Crunch, Dirty Mint Chip, Cookie Dough Lyfe, Chocolate Campfire S'- Mores, Peanut Butter Fudge Chip, Chocolate Sandwich Cookie Crumb and Mocha Marcona Almond Fudge. The dairy- free cookie sandwich flavors include Hor- chata with Snickerdoodle cookies, Dirty Mint Chip with double chocolate cookies, Tahitian Vanilla Bean with chocolate chip cookies, Cookie Dough Lyfe with chocolate chip cookies and Cookies and Cream with double chocolate cookies. Each pint is priced at $6.99, while the ice cream sand- wiches are priced at $5.49. "We're really ex- cited to launch a dairy-free line that's inclusive of plant- based diets without compromising on decadence," said Case. "Our dairy- free experience will be just as rich and self-indulgent as our dairy line, and we can't wait for vegan and dairy ice cream- lovers alike to taste it!" GN Rumiano Launches First Products in New Performance Line The Rumiano Cheese Company, Califor- nia's oldest family-owned cheese company, continues its centennial celebration with the launch of a new line of nutrient-rich products designed to boost energy and cog- nitive performance. From Natural Products Expo West, the company introduced the first two products in the line, Grass-Fed Ghee and Regen Butter. Whether following the trendy low-carb Ketogenic diet or just looking to make healthier choices, both organic, non-GMO products offer key nutrients and natural anti-inflammatory properties that support overall health and body function. Ingredi- ents for Rumiano Grass-Fed Ghee and Regen Butter are sourced from family farms and foragers in the Pacific Northwest. Year- round access to pastures and natural graz- ing of coastal grasses in Northwest California allows the cows to roam freely. This environment makes for happy cows and some of the best-tasting, highest qual- ity dairy products that have increased amounts of nutrients and are higher in both omega-3 fatty acids and beta-carotene. Rumiano Grass-Fed Ghee, available in three flavors: plain, turmeric black pepper, and honey, is made from organic, highly- clarified, grass-fed butter. The clarified but- ter is slowly simmered until it reaches a rich, golden color and nutty aroma. During the process, casein and lactose are re- moved, making it suitable for those that are dairy intolerant. Each flavor-infused ghee is packed with vitamins, nutrients and healing properties. The shelf-stable super- food has a high smoke-point, which makes it ideal for both frying and sauteing. Rumiano Regen Butter is a pure, organic, grass-fed butter that boosts energy, focus and brain function. The nutrient-dense butter is infused with func- tional and detoxifying ingre- dients including Lion's Mane Mushroom, collagen and MCT oil to reduce inflamma- tion, to improve joint health and to increase nutrient ab- sorption. The product can be added to coffee, tea and smoothies, spread on snacks, or eaten directly from the jar. Rumiano Grass-Fed Ghee and Regen Butter will come in 10-ounce glass jars and will be available in late spring. "Ghee is an ancient staple that is gaining in popularity for its tremendous health benefits and versatility. And Regen Butter has incredible fat-fueling properties that greatly impact energy and clarity. We en- tered this new category due to the in- creased emergence of the high performance THAT'S TASTY Stir-In Purees Simplify Healthy Habits THAT'S TASTY, a Shenandoah Growers brand, is making it easy for people to choose healthier eating habits with the launch of its new line of Stir-In Purees.
