GOURMET NEWS MARCH 2015 www.gourmetnews.com WFF WRAP-UP 1 8 Attendees at this year's WFF Show who stopped by the Wisconsin Cheese pavil- ion may have stumbled upon a hidden gem: the new Pastureland line from Farmhouse Kitchens. True to its name, Pastureland products are made solely from dairy that is sourced from pasture- fed cows. Pastureland butter (salted and unsalted) features a brilliant golden hue, as well as a uniquely grassy flavor – a di- rect result of the cows' special diet. In addition, the Pastureland line also in- cludes a new semi-soft cow's milk cheese, Piece of Pasture, inspired by the German cheese butterkäse, as well as yogurt (in season). Farmhouse Kitchens www.farmhousekitchens.coop The team at Busha Browne's says that that their line of Jamaican sauces and seasonings was more popular than ever at this year's show, in part because peo- ple traveling to Jamaica return with a de- sire to recreate at home the dishes they loved dining on in the Caribbean. The company featured five products at this year's show, including its Spicy Jerk Sauce, Planters Steak Sauce, Pukka Hot Pepper Sauce, Original Hot Pepper Jelly and Authentic Jerk Seasoning. Show at- tendees were particularly drawn to Busha Browne's Jerk Seasoning, a pun- gent marinade for meat, seafood or even vegetables as well as the Planters Steak Sauce, a terrific dipper for grilled meats.

GloryBee 541.689. 0913 • www.glorybee.com Admirers of Amoretti's diverse selection of frostings were thrilled to see the com- pany unveil a new line of cookie spreads at Winter Fancy Food. Soon to show up on retail shelves nationwide, the spreads are available in three flavors: speculoos, cookies & cream and graham cracker. Somewhat of a surprise, the most pop- ular of the spreads among showgoers turned out to be the speculoos variety, inspired by the slightly spicy, cinnamon- tinged Dutch cookie long-beloved in Eu- rope but relatively new to an American audience. Amoretti also showcased its Superbutter premium nut-free seed butter at the show. Amoretti 800.266.7388 • www.amoretti.com The Winter Fancy Food 2015 Show brought a number of new products to the attention of retailers, walking the show floor in search of the next kombucha tea, sriracha or quinoa.

Here are several companies that each introduced something new at the show, hoping to catch the attention of buyers looking for the next big thing. As Seen on the Show Floor: Gourmet News Scans the Show Floor at WFFS 2015 and Finds Innovative New Products Coming to Retailers Soon Maine-based DennyMike's Sauces & Seasonings recently underwent a major branding overhaul, and the new branding was on display at this year's Winter Fancy Food Show. The company had three sauces and five rubs on display at the show. The most popular sauce among show attendees turned out to be Den- nyMike's Mosquito Madness (the name pays homage to the state bird of Maine - the mosquito). The company was delight- ing showgoers with pulled pork prepared with the Mosquito Madness sauce. The most popular among DennyMike's rubs turned out to be the company's Pixie Dust Sea- soning blend. In addition to meat, the company recommends putting the sweet and spicy blend on almonds, pecans, trail mix and even tofu.

Emmi Roth USA is aiming to change this. At WFF, the company intro- duced three new packages of shredded cheese, combining the company's signa- ture Gruyère-inspired Grand Cru with ad- ditional cheeses, designed to be used by home cooks in their favorite recipes. The Ultimate Firehouse blend includes shred- ded Grand Cru with smoked fontina and three-chili Gouda. The Mac & Cheese blend combines Grand Cru with Havarti and Cheddar. And the Emmi Roth Ultimate Flatbread mix blends unites Grand Cru, fontiago and provolone. Emmi Roth USA 608.328.2122 • www.emmi.com
