OCG Show Daily Tuesday, June 6, 2017 2 6 PREP, SERVE & ENTERTAIN WITH SWISSMAR After more than 30 years in the house- wares industry, Swissmar is looking to make 2017 a huge year with unprece- dented new product launches across sev- eral housewares categories. With vast experience in pepper and salt mills, Swissmar is poised to launch over 100 new mills this year – stylish and functional table mills, the perfect waiters mill and high performance chefs mills. After the successful 2016 launch of its German-made Connoisseur Mill Collection, Swissmar is adding a bold and distinctive red lacquer finish to the assortment. With spice specific mecha- nisms, Swissmar Connoisseur mills per- form at a professional level. To the Classic Mill Collection, Swissmar will be adding unique new designs, in a variety of materials. Look for Andrea acrylic mills with stainless steel tops in a variety of distinctive col- ors: metallic blue, copper, gun metal and brushed stainless steel. The new 'Twist' mills, as the name suggests, feature an artistic carved twisted shape that will add style to any table. For those opting for tradi- tional styling and outstanding performance, there are the Castell and Manor mills. These traditional wood mills feature spice specific mechanisms and case hardened carbon steel for pepper, durable ceramic for salt, available in walnut, natural and vintage wood finishes. There is certainly no doubt, Swissmar is mills! Not to be out-shadowed by the numerous new mills, Swissmar will also be launching an updated Swiss-Made Y- Peeler. Its current Y-Peeler is an industry best seller and with an updated ergonom- ic handle design, the new Y-Peeler will take peeling to a new level. This new Y-Peeler will be available in a variety of colors, with scalpel, serrated, julienne and SwissCurve™ blades. In the cheese accessories cate- gory, watch for a new Olive Wood Serving Board. Made from genuine Italian olive wood, this board fea- tures a slight concave boat design, making it perfect for serving olives and other hors d'oeuvres, while the conven- ient long handle makes serving a breeze. A new acacia wood paddle board and set of four acacia handle mini cheese knives add to the list of new cheese-related introductions. CALIFORNIA LABEL PRODUCTS INC. A LEADING SUPPLIER OF LABEL AND TAG PRODUCTS California Label Products Inc. began operations in 1998 as a joint venture between 25-year apparel industry veteran Gary Garfield and West Coast packaging supply leader California Supply Inc., which was founded in 1970. Combining Garfield's knowledge of labels with California Supply's longstanding posi- tion in the packaging supply industry, California Label Products (CLP) quickly became a leading supplier of label and tag products. CLP offers many items that allow hardline manufacturers to communicate branding and product information, including full color stickers, hangtags and backer cards. It has an in-house art and design team that excels in brand image creativity and finding cost-effec- tive solutions for every budget. Its entire production team is dedicated to product quality and color management. It supplies in-plant printing systems, including one-color thermal from Zebra, Datamax and Printronix as well as full-color, high- speed inkjet print- ing systems. The Afinia L-801 inkjet printer has an 8.5-inch print width, photo-quality 1600 DPI resolution, and can print at 60 feet/min. Its high-capacity ink tanks hold 1.25 liters of total ink for large runs while its easy access doors provide for fast, simple media and ink replacement. For even more in-plant capability, the Afinia DLP-2000 takes the L-801's outstanding printing power and adds both die cutting and laminating sta- tions. The RotoMetrics cylinder accepts flexible dies up to 12 inches in length, allowing for fast, accurate die cutting of any shape. Both of these models allow manufac- turers of all types to pro- duce high-quality, full color product labels on demand, all without pay- ing for a single plate. It also specializes in items for soft- line manufacturers, such as printed fabric labels, woven labels and heat transfer labels.

ORGANIC EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL FROM ARISTON SPECIALTIES Ariston's customers recognize the quality of its Extra Virgin Olive Oil; the taste has created a loyal following over the past 20 years. Ariston Extra Virgin Olive Oil has been described by expert olive oil tasters as having a smooth, well rounded olive- fruit taste with buttery finish and no acidic aftertaste. This authentic extra vir- gin olive oil is made from Koroneiki variety olives, native to the Messinias Region of Greece. The taste will take you on a gourmet tour in this region of Greece, without the plane tickets. Due to the success of Ariston's Extra Virgin Olive Oil and the demand for organic, Ariston is proud to introduce Ariston Certified Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. This olive oil is made simply by crushing olives and extracting the juice. It is obtained directly from hand picked, sustainably grown and organic olives and is cold extracted under con- stantly controlled hygienic conditions. No chemical fertilizers or pesticides are used at any stage of the production. This oil is exceptionally low in acid- ity (0.2 to 0.4 percent), resulting in a high quality extra virgin olive oil. Rest assured that Ariston's olive oils have not been blended and are scientifically proven. The K Value is the angle of refraction of UV light placed in a sam- ple of olive oil to test for impurities. The K232 is 1.2, the maximum allowed for Extra Virgin is 2.5. The K268 is 0.12 and the maximum allowed for Extra Virgin Olive Oil is 0.220. The Delta K between the two is 0.003. As you can see, a very small delta K means that it is a single product, and no mixing. Ariston's up-to-date chemical analysis on this oil is available upon request. Ariston's Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil pairs well with salads, citrus fla- vors, fish, chicken, pork, drizzled over red meats, vegetables, roasted vegetables, feta cheese, mozzarella cheese or any Greek dish, etc. It is great as a dipping oil as well. Enjoy! Ariston now offers Ariston's Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil in both the Ariston Bulk Program or ready for retail prepackaged in 16.9- ounce bottles.

GO GREEN BY EXAMPLE WITH FIREFLY FUEL Firefly Fuel offers a wide variety of eco- friendly refillable oil lamps, oil candles and simple, refillable fuel cells designed for the hospitality industry. These prod- ucts are a direct replacement for the dis- posable fuel cells many restaurants use in their candle holders, which add signifi- cantly to our burden of trash ending up in local landfills. "This is an overlooked and now very obvious way to save money and go green for the hospitality industry. When you start seeing national hospitality groups embracing refillable fuel cells instead of disposables, like The Charlie Palmer Group, it's quite exciting to be part of the movement," said Phil Tyson, Chief Executive Officer of Firefly Fuel. Going "green" now saves hard cash by using refillable oil candles and fuel cells that use longer-lasting and non- toxic lamp oil. Phil Tyson suggests using the Online Restaurant Savings Calculator to determine actual savings. He also noted that typically a restaurant will dis- pose of the fuel cell when it runs low while there is still useable fuel, further adding to the problem. Firefly Fuel's initial passion was to demystify and bring high-quality, well-tested fuels to the marketplace, which it has successfully done with its signature proprietary fuels for oil lamps, lanterns, candles and tiki torch- es. It determined a sturdy and durable refillable fuel cell was sorely needed for the hospitality industry – thus, the spark for the Firefly line of refill- able fuel cells, oil lamps and candles sup- porting hospitality sustainability. The fuel cells are easy to refill from a simple refill bottle, which makes the daily effort of setup by wait staff a snap. No longer will fuel be wasted. Every drop will be used. The refillable fuel cells are properly sized to work with most common candle holders. In addition, Firefly Fuel has an entire selection of refillable oil lamps in one- or two-piece, hand-blown designs using borosilicate glass for strength and durability. Firefly Fuel serves the bulk needs of resellers, distributors, pur- veyors and hospitality groups for refillable oil can- dles and fuel both domesti- cally and internationally. It also offers private labeling on orders of 1,000 gallons or more. Product is available from quart sizes to 330-gal- lon totes. About Firefly Fuel, Inc. Firefly Fuel offers worldwide distribu- tion of proprietary fuels, eco-friendly refillable oil candles, lamps and lanterns, private labeling options, small and large quantities, consistent product availability and same-day drop shipping for most orders.
