OCG Show Daily Tuesday, June 6, 2017 4 0 THE SCOOP ON FRESHLY MADE ICE CREAM Chefs are always looking to create new and exciting dessert menus with fresh, unusual ingredients. Crafting color, adding texture, contrasting temperatures, pairing unexpected flavors or creating a dramatic focal point is easy with ice cream that you make right in your kitchen. Anyone can serve the basics like apple pie à la mode. How about serving up a slice of red velvet cake with home- made cream cheese ice cream instead? Turn traditional PB&J on its head with Concord grape pie and peanut butter ice cream. Or celebrate the season with a pumpkin spice ice cream and lemon chess pie combo. The Right Size Waring recently launched a 2-quart com- pressor ice cream maker, ideal for chefs looking to explore their creativity and expand their offerings. The size makes it exceptionally cost effective for a restau- rant that wants a variety of ice cream fla- vors in smaller quantities, and it's also perfect for food trucks and catering ven- ues that want to make their frozen treats on-site. Perfect Timing There are so many ways this ice cream maker saves time and effort. The built-in compressor means no pre-freezing, while the quick processing time lets you whip up batches of ice cream, frozen yogurt or gelato back to back with no waiting! Mix It Up The mixing paddles incor- porate just the right amount of air for a smooth, creamy consistency that will delight your patrons. The mix-in lid makes it easy to add extra ingredients without interrupt- ing the process. Keep It Cool Part of the secret to ice cream success is keeping and serving it at the ideal tem- perature. The Waring "Keep Cool" fea- ture holds ice cream at the optimal tem- perature when the process is finished, which is critical for maximum flavor and consistency. Remember that moving large ice cream containers back and forth between serving freezers and storage freezers ultimately diminishes its appeal – your smaller ice cream batches will always be fresh. Easy Cleanup When it's time to clean up, just pop the paddle and lid into the dishwasher and wipe down the outside of the unit. With the Waring 2-Quart Compressor Ice Cream Maker, the only limit is your imagination! For more information, go to www .waringcommercialproducts.com. PAESANA: GOOD FOR CUSTOMERS, GOOD FOR BUSINESS According to the United States Department of Agriculture, sales of organic foods in the U.S. increased from $11 billion in 2004 to $27 billion in 2012. The USDA also reported that the 7.4 percent growth rate in organic food sales during 2012 was more than double the annual growth rate for all food sales that year. Furthermore, the Organic Trade Association states that the trend is expanding as Americans are continuing to widen their demand for organic foods – with sales of organic products in the U.S. increasing to $35.1 billion in 2013. The consumer appetite for healthier choices is growing considerably and rap- idly. However, that doesn't mean today's shoppers are willing to give up taste. A simple "organic" label is no longer enough to convert or retain the loyalty of food buyers and chefs who demand noticeably fresher taste, as well. L&S Packing Company, a family owned busi- ness, has introduced its line of premium quality Paesana Organic Pasta Sauces and New Premium Organic Condiments to meet that doubled-up demand. "Our premium organic pasta sauces are rich in nutrients and are made with the freshest ingredients without addi- tives," said Jacqueline Scaramelli- Massaro, L&S Vice President. "They're also sautéed to perfection just like all our other sauces to capture the finest and fullest flavor." The line is being touted as just as fla- vorful as the delicious sauces the family's great-grandmother proudly and lovingly made in her kitchen way back in 1902. "Seeking organic brands on store shelves has become a top priority for mil- lions and millions of consumers, particu- larly moms who are reading nutrition labels more carefully than ever to assure that their families are eating foods that are good for them," said Scaramelli-Massaro, a mother who knows first- hand that nutritional choic- es are important, but also that those choices need to provide superior taste. Paesana Premium Organic Pasta Sauces are available in five flavors, including Tomato & Basil, Tuscan Pepper, Marinara, Vodka Sauce and Roasted Garlic. All flavors are made with 100 percent imported Italian tomatoes selected at the height of freshness. Paesana Premium Organic Condiments currently feature Marinated Mushrooms, Portobello Mushrooms and Non Pareil Capers. The new lines of sauces and condiments are also organically certified by QAI and are gluten free. As is the case with all products from L&S Packing Company, Paesana Premium Organic Pasta Sauces and Condiments have undergone highly rigor- ous quality control processes and have also been taste-tested through every phase of product development. "The depth and breadth of our commitment to quality and our dedica- tion to unmatched fla- vor have defined our family and our compa- ny for generations," said L&S President Louis Scaramelli, IV. "We're excited to say that our organic pasta sauces have exceeded our own highly stringent crite- ria and demanding expectations for healthier ingredients combined with incredible taste, and we're certain these top quality sauces will be extremely pop- ular with today's continuously growing numbers of health-conscious con- sumers."

JOIN NEWCO IN KEEPING AMERICA BEAUTIFUL The Newco family is dedicated to build- ing innovative beverage and dispensing solutions through teamwork and excep- tional performance, leading to the suc- cess of its customers. Since any manu- facturing and office process can have a negative impact on the environment, Newco has found ways to protect the environment by reducing energy usage, waste and use of non-recyclable materi- als in all aspects of daily life, both per- sonal and professional. Over the last few years, Newco has developed a sustainability policy and is making investments in it. Low efficiency lighting has been replaced, reducing energy usage by an average of 25,000 kWh, or 20 percent, and lowering costs by an average of $1,100 per month. Newco also established a no-idling poli- cy at its shipping and receiving docks and completed a green purchasing policy requiring the use of 100 percent recycled paper at all desktop computers and 100 percent recycled janitorial paper and cleaning products. Newco has also elimi- nated all Styrofoam cups in its kitchen area – all employees were issued and use insulated coffee mugs and cups for cold drinks. Disposable plastic water bottles are no longer allowed at corporate meetings, and recycling collection sites have been installed throughout the manufac- turing facility. Newco also invested in reduced foam packag- ing on two production lines, which represent half of its annual production, with recyclable hexacomb packaging. That saved the company $22,000 per year, so Newco is looking to move this to more production lines. Newco also focuses on the little things, like reducing office paper usage by e-mailing PDF purchase orders and blueprints. Newco has worked with both a recycling and injection molded plastics company to recycle obsolete plastic parts. All scrap metal used in the produc- tion of Newco prod- ucts is recycled, whether or not it has value. Newco also recycles all batteries and cell phones, as well as building materials and shipping skids, which are reused on its incoming products. Join Newco in keeping America beautiful. Newco is a proud American manufacturer and appreciates the oppor- tunity to keep it that way. For more information, visit www.newco coffee.com.
