Pacific Resources International Brings the Best of New Zealand to U.S. Consumers Pacific Resources International is an ex- clusive importer of high quality New Zealand health products, including the fa- mous healing honey Manuka. PRI was the first to introduce Manuka to the U.S. mar- ket, and it has the most comprehen- sive selection of UMF and Bio-Active strengths and sizes.

Other native New Zealand honeys from PRI include Tawari, Rewarewa, Clover, Blue Borag and clover squeeze bottle. All of the company's New Zealand honeys are kosher and utilize a 100 percent cool process to retain all of their health-giving food properties. They are more a complete food than just a sweetener.

Viola Imports Introduces a Unique Line of Nut Products from Pariani Pariani works with five types of the high- est-quality nuts and transforms them into nut oils, flours, 100 percent pure pastes, spreads and the company's exclusive defatted nut flours. These unique products are designed to be used by pastry chefs, chocolate producers, gelato makers and mixologists, and they are present in the kitchens of many Michelin starred chefs. All Pari- ani products are of Italian origin and include IGP hazelnuts from Piedmont, Lara walnuts from Veneto, 100 percent Sicilian and Green Bronte DOP pista- chios, Romana of Noto almonds from Sicily and Pisan Littoral pine nuts from San Rossore Park, Tuscany. Pariani fine nut flours are made with the best dried fruit, minced and refined to retain the best characteristics of the fruit. They are perfect for sweet and savory recipes. The special defatted nut flours, a novelty on the market, are great for producing special breads, pastas and delicious pastries. Pariani oils are born from the union be- tween the best selected nuts and the in- novative process of cold pressing. Ex- tracted from precious seeds, Pariani nut oils offer the true characteristics of the fruit. Unique for the complex fla- vor profile and their unusual liquid di- mension of dried fruits, these beautiful oils will enhance the taste of all dishes, from simple to sophisti- cated, with an unmistakable aroma and fragrance. With the selection of superior raw materials, the Pariani nut pastes have an intended flavor but at the same time are delicate and harmonious. Pariani candied fruit peels come from high quality citrus. Peels of orange, lemon and bergamot are worked carefully and candied slowly in tradi- tional methods so the fruit maintains all of the organoleptic qualities of the fresh fruit. Pariani products are available in foodservice and retail sizes. For more information, contact Viola Im- ports at 847.690.0790.
