O C G S h o w D a i l y Tu e s d a y, J u n e 3 , 2 0 1 4 1 0 KLONDIKE CHEESE CO. OFFERS AWARD-WINNING CHEESES Klondike Cheese Co. located in Monroe, Wis., manufactures some of the finest cheese in the country and is a fourth generation family owned and operated business that has been manu- facturing cheese since 1925. The third generation of Buholzer brothers Ron, Steve and Dave, with help from the fourth generation, operate Klondike today. Klondike Cheese Co. currently produces award winning feta, brick, muenster and havarti cheese. You may be familiar with its own brand of Feta under the Odyssey label, or its Swisconsin Brick and Muenster. Klondike Cheese also makes its cheese for a variety of private label companies. A lot has changed since 1925, but the art of cheesemaking has stayed the same. It is the advanced technology and equipment used today that allows cheesemakers to become more consis- tent in everyday plant operations. Klondike has been a great example of keeping a time honored recipe, but using state of the art equipment to man- ufacture a high quality, con- sistent product day in and day out. This is evident in the consistency of product pro- duced over the course of pro- ducing around 85,000 pounds of feta per day. The plant continues to receive an A grade on its British Retail Consortium (BRC) certification. The BRC certification is a high level stan- dard of auditing that raises the bar for manufacturers to become even more on top of everyday activities like sanita- tion, quality, food safety, maintenance and plant operations. It really takes a detailed look at every aspect of your business to make sure that companies are distributing safe food products. Klondike Cheese already had a great reputa- tion of being a high quality producer but the BRC audit- ing process "took it to anoth- er level," as the QA department would say in its plant. Klondike had been third partied audited for many years, but to be able to come out of its first BRC audit with an A grade certifica- tion says a lot about who Klondike Cheese Co. is.

CONROY FOODS PROVIDES WIDE VARIETY OF CONDIMENTS Conroy Foods is the manufacturer of Beano's Deli Condiments. Beano's is the No. 1 selling brand of deli condiments. Back in 1986, Beano's was born out of a restaurant by the same name in a small town just outside of Pittsburgh. Jim Conroy, his wife Leslee and his brother Bill operated the restaurant during the day and bottled Beano's Original Submarine Dressing at night. It became so popular that they decided to close the restaurant and go into the sauce business full-time. A production facility was established and history was made. Today, Beano's produces a wide variety of condiments, including Original Submarine Dressing, Honey Mustard, Deli Mustard, Horse Radish Sauce, Buffalo Sandwich Sauce, Chicken Wing Sauce, All American Sandwich Spread, Southwest Sandwich Sauce, Wasabi Sandwich Sauce, Beano's Smokey Bacon Sandwich Sauce and the newest flavors, Peach Habanera, Jalapeno Mustard, Pineapple Mustard and Sandwich Shakers. This year the company will be putting a spotlight on its newly integrat- ed flavors from the Deli Bistro line of deli condiments: Sweet Chili Pepper, Cilantro & Lime and Roasted Chipotle. B e a n o 's created the deli condi- ment catego- ry. The com- pany's goal was to create incremental impulse sales and profits for the deli department. The company offers attrac- tive merchandising tools to help partic- ipating retailers promote Beano's in its stores. The company has wire counter top racks that sit on top of deli counters or on sandwich islands, new double sided standing wire racks and shippers that are extremely effective in increas- ing sales. Beano's foodservice packaging is perfect for any deli sandwich program. The team at Conroy Foods offers a com- prehensive sandwich recipe library that retailers can use to create their own menu of upscale deli sandwiches. Please visit the Conroy Foods website at www.conroy- foods.com to see the products or call for more information.

OSD: What distinguishes your product from the competition? MC: Columbus produces a broad range of products across all deli meats – bulk, pre-sliced and specialty items. The com- pany started by making salame nearly 100 years ago in a two-room flat in the Italian North Beach neighborhood in San Francisco. While Columbus has grown, we have always maintained that achieving perfection through simplici- ty requires that we remain true to the three essential principles of authentic Italian cooking. Three principles were fundamental to our founders: Start with the finest ingredients, take extra time and keep it wholesome. A century later, we still believe these to be true. Start with the finest ingredients. We start with the finest ingredients by hand- selecting whole cuts of premium meat and using real herbs and spices. Take extra time. We take extra time and care in slow curing our salame and slow roasting our deli meats so you can see and taste the difference. Keep it wholesome. We use wholesome ingredients and you will never find artificial flavors and colors in our products. OSD: What would you say makes your company unique? MC: Commitment to quality. We never take short cuts because ultimately it's our authenticity and taste that keep our fans loyal to our products. Commitment to food safety. We've established rigorous programs and con- tinuously invest in people and training, and in our manufacturing process to Columbus Foods ( Cont'd. from p. 1) ensure we provide our customers with delicious, safe products. We continually invest in state of the art processing and capacity expan- sion. We have recently broken ground to expand our existing Hayward, Calif. salame curing and processing facility by an additional 55,000 square feet. Set to be completed by July 2015, the new building will boast drying capaci- ty for 23 million pounds of salame for the company. We are well-known in the industry for delivering superior service to our cus- tomers through our commitment to grow- ing our mutual business. We continue to delight our con- sumers with great tasting products and innovation. Products are available at specialty food stores and supermarkets nationwide.
