Blendtec Innovation: Jarless Commercial Blending Blendtec, a world leader in commercial and residential blending innovations, has once again shown the importance of "thinking outside the box," or shall we say, "jar." The Blendtec Nitro System is the first to incorporate a commercial jar- less design, blending ingredients right in the same disposable cup handed to the customer. It's engineered to make blend- ed beverage service faster and more effi- cient than ever before. The Blendtec Nitro System utilizes every last ounce of product in each and every blend. It is the first commercial blending solution that can eliminate the waste due to mis-measuring and over- filling, delivering nearly zero percent product waste, which translates to increased cost savings for every serving. The Blendtec Nitro System blends each serving in as little as 15 seconds, and eliminates the need for the extra steps of pouring and jar washing. Customers can enjoy their smoothie or other blended beverage right after pay- ing, while employees can immediately turn their focus to serving the next cus- tomer. Tom Dickson, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Blendtec, says the jar- less blending solution is what com- mercial customers have been wait- ing for. "The Nitro System really is the holy grail of commercial blend- ing," said Dickson. "There's zero waste, a super-fast blend time and only minimal cleanup. It's been a long time coming, and there's really nothing else like it." Innovative solutions, such as the Nitro System, have always been a big part of Blendtec's explosive growth among smoothie shops, coffee houses and other eateries. In March of 2016, Blendtec became the exclusive blender of Jamba Juice, the world's largest juice and smoothie chain. The partnership was the result of solution-oriented engineering, producing the Stealth 885 with ergonomic jar and splash free lid. About Blendtec Blendtec manufactures commer- cial blenders and dispensers for the foodservice industry, as well as commercial-grade blenders and appliances for home use. The award-winning "Will It Blend? ® " viral Internet video series (www.willitblend.com) demon- strates the amazing performance of Blendtec's blender technology and has raised awareness across the globe of the Blendtec brand.

Damascus Bakeries: Bred with a Brooklyn Accent Since 1930, Damascus Bakeries has been supplying its Brooklyn community – and now many other communities – with authentic, delicious and even award-win- ning flatbreads, many which are the car- riers for America's most iconic sand- wiches and offerings. As homage to its Brooklyn roots, in 2014 Damascus introduced to market Brooklyn Bred ® Bistro breads – a truly artisanal, naturally fermented line of spe- cialty and innovative flatbreads. "Our bakery was born in Brooklyn in 1930, and we've been bred there ever since, so the name Brooklyn Bred was a natural for us," says David Mafoud, Principal and Third-Generation Baker. Of course, there's nothing cheap about Brooklyn, so when it was time to choose a site to become Damascus' newest and third bakery, Damascus chose Clifton, New Jersey. Says Mafoud, "That's right, Clifton, New Jersey. We needed space, the kind of space that no longer is available – or certainly not affordable – in Brooklyn. But we needed a neighborhood in New Jersey that felt like home, and most importantly, taps into the same water sources that supply New York City." Damascus' Clifton bakery is 200,000 square feet and will be equipped with the most progressive and flexible flatbread production line in the world. At the helm of the line is an automated Biga system, which will allow the baking team at Damascus to create dough-sponges that could ferment naturally upwards of 24 hours, even 48 hours when needed. "We're ready to raise the bar, and certainly to raise the dough," says Mafoud. "The extended fermentation is only part of the story with our new pro- duction line. We have worked with our equipment vendors to incorporate other exciting and innovative changes, all aimed to help us bake the quality of breads that are otherwise only found in the corner bakery." What's first? "More pizza crusts! Besides our traditional crusts, and our thinner Neapolitan crusts, we will be introducing the Pinsa, or Roman-styled, highly fermented thicker crusts, along with authentic, hearth-baked Focaccias, some even topped," says Mafoud. Next? "Re-invention of some tradi- tional sandwich carriers into ones that are creative, culinary, convenient and when needed, customized." According to Mafoud, the re-invention plans include the traditional thin and circular pita pocket – a Damascus heritage – into a thicker, highly fermented bistro pocket with a very open structured interior. Also, the Bialy – truly a Brooklyn favorite – the shape may become tweaked, and its iconic cavity filled and topped with flavors and fillings. Damascus Bakeries, with its Brooklyn Bred product line, is all about being fresh, authentic and delicious. Says Mafoud, "We are all bakers at heart – doughboys and dough- girls – bred to bread, in a part of the world where bread is a blood type. For almost a century we have been rolling up our sleeves, going back to the basics and creating fresh, outspoken and edgy breads that will speak out to all – prefer- ably with a Brooklyn accent!"
