GOURMET NEWS www.gourmetnews.com n JANUARY 2015 n GOURMET NEWS 1 1 6 2015 Best of Show G OURMET N EWS ® Cape Cod Select – Providing Retailers with Premium, All-Natural, Farm Fresh, Recipe Ready Cranberry Products Fueled by her entrepreneurship spirit and 70 years of family ownership and tradition, Cindy Rhodes launched Cape Cod Select in 2009, with a vision to popularize cranberry consumption by making innovative products that would be easy for consumers to find, and easy to eat at an affordable price. Today, Cape Cod Select offers retailers a line of premium, all-natural, farm fresh frozen, recipe ready healthy cranberry prod- ucts that are ideal for baking, making sauces or chutneys, as a topping, or for making de- licious smoothies. Cape Cod Select's farm fresh frozen cran- berries are packed in 16-ounce and 10-ounce bottom gusseted stand-up bags for consumer convenience. Consumers can also purchase Cape Cod Select's Cranberries Plus Blueber- ries, Cranberries Plus Apples and its new Cranberries Plus Blueberries–Blackberries- Raspberries and Cranberries Plus Pineapple- Mango-Banana all packed in 16-ounce bags. Cranberries are one of only three com- mercially grown fruits that are native to North America and have long been re- garded as a super fruit; cranberries are tart, tangy berries that are high in antioxidants and vitamin C, making them great immu- nity boosters. Furthermore, Cape Cod Select's pre- mium line of Cranberries Plus products re- ally pack a solid punch of powerful health benefits as the mixed fruits work together to provide consumers with a huge dose of antioxidants. Cape Cod Select has embraced and imple- mented an aggressive greening and sustain- able program that allows it the ability to trace its cranberries directly from its bogs to con- sumer tables. In addition, Cape Cod Select has built a new state-of-the-art processing facility on its family farm Edgewood Bogs. The new facil- ity is the centerpiece of Cape Cod Select's green initiative that is powered by a solar system that saves 7,803 trees and will reduce the farms carbon footprint by 660,000 pounds over the next decade. Cape Cod Select's premium, all-natural, farm fresh frozen, recipe ready products are distributed by KeHe/Tree of Life, UNFI, Bozzuto's, DPI, DPI West, Haddon House, C&S Wholesales and Associated Buyers and brokered by Source One. More importantly, Cape Cod Select has achieved double digit growth of its cranberry product line over the past 12 months, being placed on retailer shelves from Massachu- setts to California. Recently, Cape Cod Se- lect entered into an agreement with Ahold USA and is now in over 750 of its retail lo- cations, including Stop & Shop New Eng- land, Stop & Shop New York and Giant Carlisle locations. Cape Cod Select's premium cranberry products are all-natural, farm fresh frozen, have no additives or preservatives, and are an excellent source of antioxidants, vitamin C, non-GMO and kosher-certified.
