That looked pretty sharp in the case but that was already a few years ago and besides they've already returned to the straight cut. What about that Formaggio meat and cheese rolls are seen in recipes on favorite TV shows now? Although impressive, that's not the reason for this article either. The news now is something so simple I wonder why they or anyone else didn't do it years ago. Formaggio Brand's cheese and meat rolls are now pre-sliced! Brilliant! Thanks for finally doing this, Formaggio Brand. This is saving time and creating a much more beauti- ful serving. Imagine just opening the package and shuffling onto a pizza crust the fresh mozzarella and pepper- oni medallions without so much as touching a knife or cutting board. Couldn't be easier. And in terms of appearance, slicing the Formaggio Brand pepperoni and cheese roll wasn't ever really an issue and the soppressata and cheese and chorizo and cheese fla- vors were never a problem either. But the prosciutto and cheese roll could get a little messy when slicing because of the nature of the meat. The appearance, now, is perfection. Formaggio (Cont'd. from p. 1) The taste is classically, traditionally, Formaggio Brand and that means award- winning flavor and texture, so the pre- sliced aspect just makes this Formaggio Brand offering just that much more pre- fect an item. Well done, Formaggio. Luckily, this is not nearly the end of this story. In fact it's really only the beginning because among the now pre- sliced meat and cheese rolls is a brand new flavor: Applewood Smoked Prosciutto with Fresh Mozzarella. I've had the opportunity to taste this product and it is utterly delectable. Another out-of-the-park homerun for this artisan cheese company. Formaggio Brand has taken its gold-award-status cheese-smoking skills and applied them to a high quality prosciutto, wrapped said prosciutto around a mattress of their award-winning fresh mozzarella and the results are truly stunning. Your mouth is about to thank you. Check out the pre- sliced Applewood Smoked Prosciutto and Fresh Mozzarella Roll and all Formaggio Brand's now pre-sliced meat and cheese rolls. Convenience has a new reason to thank Anthony Mongiello and his innovative team at Formaggio Brand Cheese.

APPALACHIAN CHOW CHOW RELISH GETS TWISTED By Lorrie Baumann Shuptrine's Twisted Products is a line of three products based on traditional Appalachian chow chow. A fourth product, Shuptrine's Twisted Salsa, is coming soon. The Appalachian style of chow chow is cabbage-based, with onions and pep- pers – everything you would imagine a garden having at the end of the summer, going into the winter, says Bonny Shuptrine, Co-owner of the business along with her husband, Alan Shuptrine, a watercolor artist nationally known for his paintings. After receiving five national awards for one of his paintings, "Twisted," and collectors began demand- ing more of his work, the couple decided that Bonny would use her background in marketing and merchandising to develop the Shuptrine's Twisted Relish into a commercial product. They'd been making and giving it away by the hundreds of jars as holiday gifts to the buyers of Alan's paintings for more than 25 years, and they'd had more than enough enthusiastic response from the recipients to feel confi- dent that they had a product that would sell. "We decided that what we'd do is take a lit- tle bit of a leap," Bonny says. Shuptrine's Twisted Relish is now getting some national notice of its own, with the Wall Street Journal citing it recently as an example of an artisanal food product from a small producer that's challenging mass market brands for space on grocery shelves. Shuptrine's Twisted Relish is all natural and combines the traditional Appalachian chow chow vegetable ingre- dients with Bonny's grandmother's recipe for a pickle brine. When Bonny decided to take it to the market, she decided to go all natural and keep the artisanal quality of the homemade version of the product. "It's not mass produced or just thrown together. It's a spe- cialty product," Bonny says. "We are taking the time and doing it right." The line includes Shuptrine's Twisted Relish, in hot and mild varieties, and Twisted Marinade. Twisted Salsa is coming up. The Twisted Relish and Twisted Marinade both come in 16- ounce jars that retail for $7.99. They're currently sold in about 75 stores nation- wide, including about 15 independent natural foods grocers and the grilling department of Ace Hardware stores.
