All of the bufala cheeses are made fresh to order, which assures customers a much longer shelf life than the traditional imported frozen product. The Mozzarella di Bufala is made using a natural lactic culture imported from Campa- nia, Italy, and is available in all the tradi- tional sizes, including Ciliegine, Bocconcini, Ovoline, and 8-ounce. Ricotta di Bufala is delectably rich and creamy and has been awarded top honors by the Specialty Food Association's sofi Awards and World Championship Cheese Competi- tion. The newest addition to the lineup is a hand-made Burrata di Bufala, made with bu- fala cream and bufala mozzarella. The outer shell is soft and smooth, while the inside bursts with fresh crèma di bufala and hand pulled strands of Mozzarella di Bufala.

Calabro (Cont'd. from p. 1) cappuccinos are happy. Now, in what is pro- jected to be a banner year for oat, it's time for the next thing. Elmhurst ® 1925 is ready. The plant-based company that used to be a dairy is launching a line of oat creamers. These will join the ex- isting Barista Edition, forming a small arse- nal of at-home answers to the big plant-based coffee questions. Elmhurst has charted new territory with its hemp creamer line, but Chief Marketing Of- ficer Pete Truby stresses that there is some- times more to innovation than winning the race to the shelves. "Being first to market is great, but we can't forget that things that al- ready exist can be made better. In sense, we've absolutely innovated in oat milk. And we're doing so in creamers, too." Truby is talking about the core virtues that envelop the entire Elmhurst line: more of the source ingredient; six ingredients or less; no added gums or thickeners; and specific to coffee support products, no added oils. Essentially, Elmhurst makes better prod- ucts via simplification. Ingredient labels are de-cluttered, freeing the source ingredient to bestow its excellence upon consumers. This is made possible by HydroRelease™, a unique technology which preserves the nu- tritional integrity of the oat with a satisfy- ingly creamy texture. Elmhurst oat creamers come in original unsweetened, hazelnut, vanilla and chai spice varieties. There will also be seasonal flavors for the perfect coffee repose: apple pie spice, gingerbread and lavender vanilla. Each is packaged in a shelf-stable 16-ounce carton and made from 100 percent whole grain oats. None contains more than 1 gram of sugar. Most importantly, in a world where trends are only as good as their substance, Elmhurst oat creamers perform. They're made to add body and texture rather than dilute your cup. You'll be able to lighten to your desired hue. Each creamer in the set shows due reverence to the roast, balancing rather than over- whelming its flavor – and it all happens with- out useless additives. If you aren't already on the oat train, we've saved you a seat. Sit back and enjoy the scenery of life. Elmhurst will make your best cup for the ride. For more information, visit booth #155.

By Kyle Oglesby, Owner, Daddy Sam's LLC Daddy Sam's has had an award-winning year! We swept the Texas Bar-B-Que Divi- sion at the World Hot Sauce Awards. Daddy Sam's Original was named Champion, Daddy Sam's Salmon & Seafood Glaze was 2nd and Daddy Sam's Ginger Jalapeño was 3rd. We were the only brand to sweep a di- vision this year. We also won our third 1st Place Scovie with Daddy Sam's Ginger Jalapeño Bar-B-Que Sawce this year. The best award though, by far, is the loyalty of our amazing fans. You are the best! We know that barbecue is a passionate world and brand loyalty is a big deal. Thank you so much, Daddy Sam's fans! Daddy Sam's makes delicious West Texas style barbecue sauces. Daddy Sam Oglesby was a cowboy and rancher in West Texas and our amazing family recipe is named after him – he is also our great grandfather! Shar- ing great food and fun with family and friends is what we are trying to complement at Daddy Sam's. Food always tastes better with great company, and with Daddy Sam's. As we like to say ... Just Slop It On! We created Daddy Sam's because we couldn't find anything like it on grocery store shelves. We wanted a West Texas bar- becue sauce without any corn products, gluten, soy, MSG, fillers or anything artifi- cial, so we decided to bottle up the family recipe. Daddy Sam's is certified gluten free, certified kosher, non-GMO compliant, vegan and a woman-owned business. Daddy Sam's Original West Texas Recipe is molasses, vinegar and mesquite based. It's tangy and sweet with a kick at the end, and very versatile. We created Daddy Sam's Salmon & Seafood Glaze because fish and seafood are so often left out when it came to barbecue. We know that people are missing out on great fla- vors by not barbecuing fish and seafood. There is nothing else like it on the market and we've changed perceptions about what can be barbecued. Our Ginger Jalapeño flavor is an updated and zesty take on West Texas barbecue. It's a sauce with a modern twist and more heat, yet still excites barbecue traditionalists. The molasses, vinegar and mesquite base means that Daddy Sam's Sawces are for so much more than ribs! We encourage fans to try out ideas with Daddy Sam's. We have made baked beans, roasted vegetables, pizza, sloppy joes, grilled fruit, jalapeño poppers, zipped up chili, poured over cream cheese or other soft cheeses for a delicious appetizer, and of course, ribs! We are always working on new recipes and unconventional ways to use Daddy Sam's, and we encourage our fans to do the same. Think outside the jar with Daddy Sam's! Daddy Sam's is committed to packing in glass and other easily recyclable materials and reducing waste as much as possible. Daddy Sam's is a 1% for the Planet member and puts the money toward water issues. Visit Daddy Sam's at booth #5403.
