GOURMET NEWS AUGUST 2016 www.gourmetnews.com SFF WRAP-UP 2 2 Colavita Adds to Line of Authentic Italian Wine Vinegars Colavita Prosecco White Wine Vinegar is the newest addition to a line of Colavita's authentic Italian wine vinegars. With a tart taste profile, Prosecco White Wine Vinegar pairs perfectly with salads, fish and fruit dishes. This is the only Prosecco vinegar currently on the market. This unique wine vinegar is created from grapes cultivated in the Valdobbiadene area of Italy, which is dedicated to the production of Prosecco white wine. Using the traditional method of fermen- tation, wooden barrels are utilized to age the white Prosecco wine. This allows proper time for a natural aging process to produce this light and fruity flavor of Pros- ecco White Wine Vinegar. This gluten-free product is a great choice for substituting dairy in salad dressings and adding in- credible flavor to vegetable and meat dishes. This item is the most recent addition to Colavita's wine vinegar collection, which includes Aged Red Wine Vinegar, Aged White Wine Vinegar, Cabernet Vinegar and Raspberry Wine Vine- gar. Each of these wine vinegars is sold in 17- fluid-ounce glass bot- tles, similar to that of a traditional wine bottle. The aged red and white wine vinegars are also available in mini 25ml bottles, perfect for test- ing out the flavors, salad dressing on the go, as well as for food- service applications. The entire line of wine vinegars is gluten free.

Bissinger's www.bissingers.com A Blue Dressed in Black from Käserei Champignon In a year in which Americans are demonstrating an intense interest in blue cheeses, it's es- pecially interesting to find one that stands out from the rest. That's a good descrip- tion of Grand Noir, a Käserei Champignon cheese from southern Germany that took the Best of Class award in the blue-veined cheese category at the World Champion Cheese Contest earlier this year. Grand Noir and other Käserei Champignon cheeses are imported into the United States exclusively by Champignon North America, Inc. Grand Noir is made from cow milk from regional farms in southern Ger- many. Each wheel is hand-dipped in black wax and then cold-ripened. The cheese that results is distinctive in its flavor, texture and appearance as the only blue-veined cheese on the mar- ket today that's aged in black wax. K ä s e r e i Champignon brings specialty cheeses to people around the world, yet is still a family-owned company based in the Allgäu region of Bavaria, Germany. The company has been making specialty cheeses in Bavaria for over 100 years and contin- ues to use only pure cow's milk sourced from local dairy farms."

About Robert Rothschild Farm: Qual- ity foods really do look, feel, and taste different. Robert Rothschild Farm has spent more than 30 years studying, re- fining, and perfecting the way the com- pany makes its insanely flavorful, truly exceptional prod- ucts. Each one is made from scratch and guaranteed to make even the everyday taste like gourmet. When Bob and Sara Rothschild de- cided to move from California to Ohio's Mad River Valley in the 1970s, they knew they wanted to work the land. Their determined spirit resulted in a suc- cessful 170-acre farm and more red raspberries than they knew what to do with. That one simple ingredient soon led to an entire line of authentic prod- ucts made from original recipes using time-honored techniques. Each and every intensely flavorful item was made from scratch, and cooked slowly over low heat in small-batch kettles to per- fection. Robert Rothschild Farm 800.356.8933 www.robertrothschild.com
