O C G S h o w D a i l y M o n d a y, J u n e 2 , 2 0 1 4 1 8 COLUMBUS FOODS STARTED MAKING 'HAND-CRAFTED' SALAME LONG BEFORE ARTISAN BECAME ARTISAN With Excerpts from Salumi: Savory Recipes And Serving Ideas For Salame, Prosciutto, And More by John Piccetti and Francois Vecchio with Joyce Goldstein, Chronicle Books, 2008. "In 1917, San Francisco's Italian neigh- borhood of North Beach welcomed a new member to its small community of immi- grant business ventures. There, amid the sandlots and city streets where Joe DiMaggio would later hone his baseball wizardry, founding partners Enrico Parducci and Peter Domenici opened the San Francisco Sausage Company, choos- ing Columbus as their brand name." So begins the journey of Columbus salame. Since then, Columbus Foods has grown, and has always stood firm on Italian salumi traditions. But as it has always embraced progress, looking for new ways to expand the business, it has remained true to its Italian roots. Thirty years ago, John Piccetti, whose father purchased the company in 1957 with five other North Beach fami- lies and friends, started his "personal journey in the art of salumi." Said Mr. Piccetti, "[I]n the late 1980s through my working association with the Travaglini family of Milan, designers and manufacturers of curing tech- nologies…I experienced the wonder of this most artful and ancient tradition of aging and curing specialty meats…Together with Francois Vecchio [a multi-talented Swiss salumiere], Gary DeMartini [one of the other five families from the 1957 pur- chase], and I created an exceptional level of artisan salumi without peer in the United States. This ultra-premium line necessitated searching out the best sources of raw materials and building a network of highest quality fresh meats and careful trimming by experienced meat cutters." The results speak for themselves. In 2013, Columbus Foods was named a Good Food Awards win- ner in the charcuterie category for its artisan Finocchiona. The honor recognizes Columbus' craftsman- ship and dedication to authentici- ty and responsible production methods. "Columbus has been dedicated to providing high quality products using tra- ditional Italian recipes and methods for close to a century," said Tim Fallon, Columbus Foods CEO. "This award is a testament to our commitment to excellence and sustain- ability in our production process." Today, the story continues with Columbus' broad line of cooked and cured meats.

SPACEMANUSA HELPS PROVIDE HEALTHY DESSERT OPTIONS FOR RESTAURANTS Spaceman is one of the most highly regarded and world-renowned manufac- turers of soft serve machines that are sup- plied to frozen yogurt franchises, con- venience stores and restaurants around the country. SpacemanUSA began working with Forte Supply to manufacture private label equipment used to develop new frozen yogurt and soft serve ice cream machine models for customers within the United States. Today, Forte Supply holds a 20-year exclusive supply contract to sell Spaceman products in North America. The partnership between SpacemanUSA and Forte Supply has resulted in a Super Power in the frozen yogurt and soft serve industry, which is helping propel the suc- cess of frozen yogurt! The demand for healthier dessert menu options in restaurants has grown significantly over the past several years. Because of this demand, SpacemanUSA is ready to provide restaurant owners with high quality and efficient soft serve machines to meet these needs. Not only are buffet-style restaurants adding soft serve machines to their estab- lishments, but sit-down restaurants are jumping on the frozen yogurt bandwagon at remarkable rates. Healthy, yet delicious, dessert choices are important to restaurant customers. SpacemanUSA works with establishments of all sizes to help them determine which soft serve machines will meet their individual needs. The addition of one or more soft serve machines allows all types of estab- lishments to offer healthy dessert choic- es. And because the flavors of soft serve can change easily and frequently, it would be unusual if a restaurant did not reap significant profit from the addition of a soft serve machine. The SpacemanUSA brand ensures high quality, high value and innovative soft serve machines. It is SpacemanUSA's goal "to provide customers with products that display quality innovation and contin- uous improvements that meet both envi- ronmental and safety standards." In addi- tion, SpacemanUSA has the highest possi- ble ethical standards, excellent customer service and highly competitive prices. SpacemanUSA soft serve machines are built to last, with products that are designed with international quality stan- dards in mind. Not only do SpacemanUSA machines provide restau- rant owners with the ability to offer cus- tomers a healthy dessert option, but the SpacemanUSA brand also comes with the reassurance that the machines have excellent durability.

When grocers incorporate Beano's into their sandwich program, they not only create incredible sandwiches but also create a perfect sampling vehicle for all of the products that they sell in the deli, including Beano's Deli Condiments. All of these products and merchan- dizing tools can be seen online at conroy- foods.com. New this year, it has a double sided wire rack that holds six cases of product, complete with a marquee at customers' eye level. On the website, you can also see the compa- ny's television ad and lis- ten to the radio ad. The site also features links for Twitter and Facebook so that it will be easy for fans to keep in touch.
