GOURMET NEWS JANUARY 2015 WFF PREVIEW 2 1 Jelly Belly Pops the Cork for the New Year Starting the year off with a bang, Jelly Belly Candy Company introduces the new light and fruity flavor pro- file of Champagne Jelly Belly ® jelly beans. Champagne's signa- ture flavor comes across in this new Jelly Belly bean, ideal for celebrations, weddings, showers and adult snacking. Champagne Jelly Belly beans have all the flavor of a glass of bubbly in a petite package – without the alcohol. Retailers can sample the new Jelly Belly bean to adult customers with Jewel Orange Jelly Belly beans for a sparkling Jelly Belly Mimosa! Champagne Jelly Belly beans are available now in bulk. In mid- February, they will be available in a 7.5- ounce gift bag. And a 1.5-ounce bottle is planned for May. Jelly Belly BeanBoozled ® is the latest trend among pranksters of all ages. Bean- Boozled features 10 Classic Jelly Belly beans mixed with 10 weird and wacky fla- vored lookalikes for a dare no one can re- sist. Jelly Belly fans who have taken the BeanBoozled Challenge can be seen in more than 100,000 videos uploaded to YouTube – all using the 3.5-ounce Bean- Boozled Spinner Gift Box or 1.6-ounce BeanBoozled Flip Top Box to con- duct the challenge. Now, with the new 1.9-ounce BeanBoozled Grab & Go ® bag, retailers can take ad- vantage of the popularity of the challenge by adding the new bag to their Jelly Belly Grab & Go displays. Jelly Belly has the perfect gift for STAR WARS™ fans as well, with the new 20-flavor STAR WARS™ Ultra Gift Box. The gift box is available just in time for the resurgence of one of the biggest franchises in Hol- lywood history. The gift box features 20 flavors of the most popular Jelly Belly beans, including 12 sparkling jelly beans.

Ariston Introduces Organic Extra-Virgin Olive Oil Organic monovarietal unripe Koroneiki olives are harvested in Messinia, Greece in December. The acidity level is among the lowest on the market: a rare 0.2 of 1 percent acidity. In addition, this extra-virgin olive oil is naturally high in polyphenols (contain- ing a total of 283 mil- ligrams per kilogram). There are no added polyphenols, of course! All polyphenols in Aris- ton's extra-virgin olive oil are naturally occurring. Adding polyphenols to extra-virgin olive oil and calling it extra-virgin olive oil is prohib- ited and misleading. The flavor profile of Ariston organic extra-virgin olive oil in- cludes artichoke, almond and green grass. It has a solid fla- vor – not hollow – and is fruity and smooth. The oil is very versatile and can be used for salads, pasta dishes and sautéing meats, as well as in baking. Try Ariston's organic extra- virgin olive oil along with all of the company's products. Tortuga Rum Cake Company Introduces Chocolate Rum Treats at WFF Show The Tortuga Rum Cake Company is show- casing its full line of gourmet Caribbean products at the Winter Fancy Food Show at booth #777.
