62 GOURMET NEWS www.gourmetnews.com 30 Years of Innovation from Robert Rothschild Farm Robert Rothschild Farm is nationally recognized as a premier gourmet food manufacturer and 2014 marks 30 years of innovative, awardwinning specialty foods. "Bob Rothschild started this company by taking jars of gourmet Red Raspberry Preserves to the Fancy Food Show in 1984," said Jim Gordon, President of Robert Rothschild Farm. "This year, we will celebrate 30 years of creating unique flavor profiles that our consumers love." Robert Rothschild Farm began as a pickyour-own raspberries business in 1976. During the 1984 harvest, the decision to create Red Raspberry Preserves from the excess berries launched the enterprise that still flourishes today. From Red Raspberry Pre- New Zealand's Best from Land and Sea A clean sea salt contains all of the trace elements that are essential for your body to live in good health. To process the perfect sea salt that is good for great health, the ocean water has to be clean and dried for 13 to 22 months by wind and sea. In a recent study, sea salt (not just sodium chloride) was found to be an essential component of human diets. All fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds and mammals carry within their veins the elements of sodium, potassium and calcium in almost the same proportions as the oceans. The "sea" within us has the same saltiness as the Precambrian seas of three billion years ago. For humans, salt is as essential as water. We can perish from too little salt as we can of thirst. Salt regulates the exchange of water between our cells and their sur- rounding fluids. One component of salt, sodium (Na), is involved in muscle contraction, including heartbeat, nerve impulses and the digestion of body-building protein. Humans contain about eight ounces of salt. The amount of salt is regulated in our bodies by our kidneys and by perspiration. As the oceans around New Zealand are still clean, Pacific sea salt can still be harvested in the natural way by sun and wind for 13 to 22 months. Other salt producers need to pasteurize the water to remove impurities, and in the process essential trace elements are removed. The ingredient list on Pacific sea salt says it all: "Clean New Zealand Sea Salt," with no additives or free flowing agents. Pacific Resources International has a great Introducing Original Gourmet's Amazing Natural Wonders, Sweetly Natural Lollipops Original Gourmet is proud to introduce Sweetly Natural Lollipops.

KA-ME Builds Upon Its Meal Solution Concept KA-ME's goal is to offer consumers who like Asian food a range of high-quality, allnatural, easy-to-use ingredients and snacks. Consumers told KA-ME that they wanted to replicate the Asian restaurant experience at home but that cooking Asian dishes was intimidating, requiring numerous unfamiliar ingredients, multiple steps for a finished dish and that it was not as good as they remembered. To satisfy its consumer's needs, KA-ME's strategy is to provide the Key-to-AsianMade-Easy—each product has been carefully reformulated to deliver an authentic flavor in a best-in-class quality to match the restaurant experience, combined with an easy-to-use format. Ingredient listings are short and clear. Every product name is clearly stated and simple, and easy-to-prepare recipes are featured on-pack wherever space allows or on the KA-ME website, giv- ing shoppers the confidence to prepare an Asian meal in minutes. The product assortment includes core ingredients such as ready-to-use sauces, cooking oils and noodles. The products spur usage ideas for consumers and benefit grocery retailers by promoting store perimeter sales of produce, meat, poultry and seafood. A range of fresh cooked stir-fry noodles were introduced to the market three years ago, and have been highly successful because, with the addition of a cooking oil and a sauce, some frozen Asian vegetables, cut up poultry or meat, consumers experience the opportunity to prepare a delicious dish in minutes. Following the easy-to-understand recipes that combine KA-ME products ensures that the finished dishes will replicate the restaurant experience.
