OCG Show Daily Tuesday, June 6, 2017 6 2 COLOR IT, TEXTURE IT, SHAPE IT, TASTE IT – MAKE IT EXTRAORDINARY Formulated with professional chefs in mind, Mona Lisa's premium rolled fon- dant makes it a breeze to create colorful masterpieces. Made with high-quality, flavorful ingredients, the fondant com- plements and enhances the flavors in your desserts while adding visual piz- zazz. It can be transformed into a wide variety of shapes and sizes, in original white or chocolate, or even tinted to make your own signature colors. Extended Workability Premium ingredients and unique formu- lation keep the rolled fondant pliable longer, allowing for extended working time with no cracking or tearing, even on shaped cakes. Bright and Colorful Quality ingredients deliver bright white color without the use of the food color addi- tive titanium dioxide, and the chocolate fon- dant is deep, rich brown. Stands Up to the Elements When exposed to excessively humid or dry conditions, the fondant stands its ground and does not become sticky, tacky or dry. Protective Packaging Vacuum-sealed protection pre- vents the fondant from drying out on the edges and top, mak- ing the fondant 100 percent usable with no waste from unopened pails. For more information, reach out to your local Barry Callebaut sales manager or distributor. Go to www.monalisa fondant.com for additional product details, applications and training videos.

FLAX4LIFE GOING STRONG FOR OVER 15 YEARS By Kasondra Shippen, General Manager Flax4Life's bakery is a dedicated gluten- free, dairy-free and nut-free (except coconut) facility. We strive to make deli- cious, better for you baked goods. All items are flax-based and loaded with Omega-3s, fiber, protein, lignans and made from the highest quality ingredi- ents.

Flax4Life is a family- owned and operated busi- ness that has been going strong for over 15 years. Our family has been in the bakery industry for four generations. In the mid '90s, a few of our family members became really ill and they each had different symptoms. For a few it was bowel and stomach problems, and for another the symptoms were so bad they could hardly walk. After a few years of being taken to doctors all over the coun- try, the Mayo Clinic finally diagnosed our family members with Celiac disease. It was at this point we really started taking a harder look at the things we were putting into our body. We knew that one of the most important things was that the product needed to taste good and the second was that it needed to be good for you! Flax4Life was born shortly after.

TASTE THE MARUKAN DIFFERENCE Marukan Vinegar has more then 360 years of experience making vinegar by slow-brewing sake from rice. The com- pany's smooth-tasting, premium rice vinegar is used in a variety of culinary dishes that complement and bring out the flavors of food. "Our parent company started in Japan in 1649 and was the first commer- cial seller of vinegar made from rice wine or sake," President Jon Tanklage says. "The Japanese call this vinegar 'Su.' Su allowed raw foods to be transported inland from the sea. The vinegar would be sprinkled on the rice and became a preservative for fish; that was the primi- tive version of sushi. Marukan is a pri- mary company that made sushi possible." Marukan Vinegar has been produc- ing its products in Japan for 367 years and in Paramount, California, for the past 42 years. The company is currently in construction of its new 77,000-square- foot, state-of-the-art brewery in Griffin, Georgia, that will open in July 2017. The Georgia brewery will help the company meet the growing demand for Marukan Rice Vinegar and better serve its East Coast customers. "It sits on 16 acres, so there is a lot of room for expansion if we decide to get more versatile and go into differ- ent product lines," Tanklage adds. When Marukan Vinegar came to California four decades ago, it served the growing sushi market. Today, rice vine- gar has become more mainstream and is used in salad dressings, sauces and marinades, as well as for pickling. "The farm-to-table movement along with the demand for non-GMO and organic prod- ucts is helping the high- quality, milder vinegars like Marukan grow," Tanklage says. "A premium vinegar, like ours, has a balance of flavor and brings out the flavor in food." For more information, visit www.marukan-usa.com.
