NATURALLY HEALTHY www.gourmetnews.com n SEPTEMBER 2016 n GOURMET NEWS N H 4 0 Delicious Dairy Products Going Greek at Clover In celebration of its centennial anniversary, Clover introduces its newest dairy delicacy, an organic nonfat Greek yogurt line to add to its selection of more than 175 dairy prod- ucts, which range from natural and organic milks, butter and cheese, to craft ice cream. The company's superior-quality organic Greek yogurt is carefully crafted in authentic Greek tradition, using fresh Clover organic nonfat milk and the finest of premium or- ganic fruits. Silky smooth and mildly tangy, this authentically-strained yogurt has a thick, creamy texture to delight all palates. Clover's Greek yogurt comes from happy cows that enjoy American Humane Certified, family-owned farms. With the highest stan- dards for quality, environmental stewardship and animal welfare in the industry, these happy cows produce the best organic milk on the market. "Our Greek yogurts are available in five delicious flavors and make great snacks – packed with protein, calcium and live cul- tures that make them the perfect addition to a healthy diet," said Clover President and Chief Executive Officer Marcus Benedetti. "And true to our passion for excellence, they contain no artificial colors, flavors or preser- vatives." Clover organic Greek yogurts are also free of antibiotics and growth hormones and not fortified with powders or unnecessary unpro- nounceable additives. Authentically strained and with a smooth, creamy texture, Clover organic Greek yogurts are also less tangy than many other Greek yogurts. Each fruit variety is bursting with flavor and whole nu- trients, with the second ingredient listed being premium organic fruit next to the first ingredient of Clover organic nonfat milk. Sweet and tangy come together in the classic Blueberry Greek Yogurt, which combines floral and jammy notes of organic blueber- ries. Savor the fresh-picked essence of sweet, sun-kissed peaches plucked from the tree that perfectly pair with the milk to make a creamy Peach Greek Yogurt treat. And pre- pare to fall in love with the flavorful Black Cherry Greek Yogurt, exploding with tart or- ganic cherries with subtle floral notes of cas- sis and fresh-baked pie. America's favorite flavor got better, too. Clover blended its fresh milk with aromatic vanilla bean to cre- ate a rich, tantalizing Vanilla Greek Yogurt that's perfect for breakfast, a healthy snack or nutritious smoothie. And the Plain Greek Yogurt is anything but plain – this rich yo- gurt has a luxurious mouth-feel and texture, perfect in pure form or with other foods.

But FATCO believes fat is good. In fact, it believes fat is beautiful. FATCO is a paleo-friendly brand that uses tallow (beef fat) to craft simple, deep nour- ishing skincare products. Why? Because an- imal fat allows your skin to hydrate and stay pH-balanced. It's a primal, yet sophisticated approach to cleaning your face and moistur- izing your body. So many "natural" products clutter the shelves and mislead consumers with empty promises. But FATCO promises handmade products made with limited ingredients, free of preservatives, chemicals and toxins. It be- gins with its nose-to-tail philosophy and its partnership with Fatworks Foods — ensur- ing respect for the livestock that provide its tallow. It's an ethical, kind way of sourcing safe and healthy animal fats from safe and healthy animals. Founder Cassy Burnside had a passion for clean eating that inspired FATCO Skincare. For years, Burnside practiced the philosophy that a health- conscious diet can improve your life, one meal at a time. This connection between food and well-being led her on a quest to find skincare products developed for the same bene- fits. To her, feeding your skin is just as im- portant as feeding your appetite — it's all about healthy, nutritious choices. When she couldn't find exactly what she was searching for, Burnside decided to take matters into her own hands by crafting good- for-you products from her own home; and FATCO was born. Through the company, Burnside brings awareness and educa- tion about how small changes in your life can im- prove your skin as well as your overall health. Tallow and other naturally occur- ring ingredients are the basis for FATCO's products — upholding the idea that just like clean dieting, clean hygiene is a sound ap- proach to living well. A lean, little company with big, unconven- tional ideas – follow its lead and rub some fat on your cheeks.
