GOURMET NEWS OCTOBER 2019 www.gourmetnews.com BEVERAGES 1 6 With Howard's Cutting Board Cleaner, now the entire cleaning, oiling and conditioning process can be done with products man- ufactured by the same company, which gives consumers confidence that all three products will work together perfectly. It's ideal for cleaning and preparing wood sur- faces before using Butcher Block Condi- tioner or Cutting Board Oil. Cutting Board Cleaner effectively cleans and neutralizes odors on well-used wood cutting surfaces including butcher blocks, cutting boards, wooden bowls and uten- sils. The natural cleaning properties of lemon oil and coconut soap safely clean any wood surface, leaving it smelling fresh. The product's ingredients are coconut soap, coconut oil, glycerin, salt, citral, lau- ryl glucoside, lemon ter- penes, food-grade mineral oil and xanthan gum, so it's safe to use on any wood surface that may come into contact with food. Howard Cutting Board Cleaner does not contain bleach or any other harsh ingredients that can make wooden boards soft and gummy, reducing the life of the board. Minimum wholesale order is just six cases.

MarDona Specialty Foods 855.645.7772 www.mardonausa.com The producers of Prosciutto di San Daniele PDO, Grana Padano PDO and Prosciutto di Parma PDO are the focus of an excit- ing joint promotional cam- paign that seeks not only to raise awareness about these unique foods among American and Canadian retailers and consumers, but also to emphasize the importance of quality, au- thenticity and tradition. Although these products are from Italy, they are indicative of the many traditional foods from Europe that are unique to their respective areas, as well as the production methods which have been handed down from generation to generation by proud ar- tisans who are in tune with the land and the seasons. Because of the great- ness of these foods and their popularity – both at home and abroad – imita- tions have naturally sprung up around the world. Such products bear none of the history, tradition or quality of the originals. While this may seem inevitable, and consumers are free to buy what they want, it's important that they ac- tually know what they are buying, how it is made and from what it is made.

Once the curds are formed, they are gently scooped into basket molds to drain. Pressing the cheese by hand or machine would dam- age the Ricotta, so it's gravity that does the job. Each layer of curds presses gently upon the layer below to gently press excess liquid out. The result- ing cheese is light, delicate, and fully imparts the flavor of quality milk and experienced craftsmanship. Caputo Cheese www.caputocheese.com Hand-Dipped Ricotta from Caputo
