NATURALLY HEALTHY www.gourmetnews.com n MARCH 2018 n GOURMET NEWS N H 3 6 Tucson Tamale Introduces Organic Hot Sauce Line Tucson Tamale, known for its natural line of artisan handmade frozen tamales, has launched its line of organic hot sauce with three distinct flavors that offer a healthy way to add zip to any plate. The hot sauces are in keeping with the company's tradition of creating delicious products from organic and regional ingredients to make authentic tastes of the Southwest accessible to every- one. The hot sauce line includes Organic Jalapeño Pepper Sauce, Organic Chipotle Pepper Sauce and Organic Habanero Pep- per Sauce. The Organic Jalapeño Pepper Sauce is made from organic jalapeños grown in the New Mexico Rio Grande River valley, a region central to Southwest food tradi- tions. This peppery and flavorful hot sauce adds a genuine Southwest kick without overpowering food, making it the perfect choice for those new to Southwest flavors as well as those well-versed in the tradition. The Organic Chipotle Pepper sauce is made from with a medley of or- ganic peppers also grown in the Mexico Rio Grande River valley. The ad- dition of chipotle gives this hot sauce a smoky and earthy flavor. This hot sauce will zest up your meal with its spiciness and full flavor. The Organic Habanero Pepper sauce is the spiciest yet. This hot sauce is made with the mighty habanero, one of the hottest chiles available. The habanero pepper has a slight citrus flavor and when blended with the milder organic peppers, makes for a full-fla- vored and fiery hot sauce. Todd Martin, company Founder, wanted the perfect organic condiment to pair with the company's popular hand- crafted tamales. These three different hot sauces offer something for every taste and are delicious on any dish that would benefit from a touch of spice. Tucson Tamale Com- pany cares about the quality of its products and takes pride in where it sources its ingre- dients. From the vine to the plate, these de- cisions create a difference you can taste.

Organic Chocolate-Hazelnut Spreads Nocciolata and Nocciolata Dairy Free In Asiago (Northern Italy), the Rigoni family has been keeping the long-standing traditions of organic honey and fruit spread production alive for decades. Now, they have perfected a recipe for Nocciolata (pronounced no-cho- lata), a healthier, higher-quality, better-tast- ing chocolate-hazelnut spread. Made with organic ingredients completely free of GMOs, preservatives, colors, addi- tives or artificial sweeteners, Rigoni di Asi- ago's Nocciolata combines top-quality hazelnuts, fair trade cocoa and cocoa butter, natural bourbon vanilla extract, raw cane sugar and skimmed milk from outdoor farms to create a chocolate-hazelnut spread with undeniably superior flavor and smooth, creamy texture. Unlike other brands which use palm oil, Nocciolata is made with environmentally-re- sponsible, cold-pressed sunflower oil. It also contains far less sugar than other brands and is free from hydrogenated fats. Each batch takes a slow and gentle arti- sanal preparation to develop rich and com- plex flavors and easy-to-spread texture. Nocciolata is perfect for snacking, a wonder- ful addition to breakfast spreads, an alterna- tive to other nut butters and is wonderful with breads, croissants, crepes and fruit. Nocciolata Dairy Free has the same high- quality as Nocciolata but is completely free of milk. This new, exclusive, extra-addictive recipe has a deep chocolate flavor and is bal- anced by the generosity of hazelnuts. It's per- fect if you are lactose intolerant, allergic to dairy, follow a vegan diet or simply prefer a more intense taste. Nocciolata Dairy Free is a 2017 sofi Award winner for Best New Product in the Nut But- ter/Seed Butter category. "In the 1960s, every child in Asiago dreamed of buying the finest and most delicious chocolate from our village pastry chef's local store," re- calls Rigoni di Asiago Chief Executive Officer and President An- drea Rigoni. "The memory of this artisanal treat inspired us at Rigoni di Asiago to per- fect a classic, indulgent, chocolate-hazelnut spread." Nocciolata and Nocciolata Dairy Free are available in stores nationwide in a 270g (9.52-ounce) glass jar.
