Good Groceries Company www.goodgroceries.com McJak Candy Introduces A Christmas Story Oh Fudge Tins Pure Extracts, Candies, Ice Cream Ingredients Since 1890 Star Kay White was founded by David Katzenstein on February 14, 1890. The maker of top-quality ice cream flavorings has been owned and operated by the Katzenstein family for five generations. The business, originally known as Star Extract Works, was located in New York City, exactly where the World Trade Center's North Tower once stood. Today, that may seem like an odd location to start a manufacturing business, but in 1890, transportation in New York City was horse- powered and their trade was with small hand-crank ice cream shops and the dairy industry, all located on the tip of Manhattan Island. David's sons, Carl and Miles, developed flavored extracts — vanilla, peppermint, cinnamon, rose, strawberry, and rum — and sold them to bakers, brewers, distillers, and ice-cream makers. The business thrived in Manhattan for 38 years and then moved to the Bronx in 1928, just before the Great Depression and Second World War. In 1984, under the guidance of Miles' son Walter, the company settled into its current home in Congers, New York, where it occupies four buildings on 10 acres. The company is now owned by Ben Katzenstein, the great grandson of David – 62 years served, grandson of Miles – 66 years served, and son of Walter – 65 years served. Ben oversees the company's op- erations with his two sons, Alex and Gabe, fifth generation Katzensteins. Star Kay White continues to flavor America's ice creams today with new and innovative ingredients and technical ca- pabilities. One hundred and twenty-five employees make about 40 million pounds of product annually in the 100,000- square-foot facility. "They're flavorings, like whiskey caramel, sea salt caramel, graham cracker, rum raisin, marshmallow, all sorts of chocolates — with and without sugar, dark and milk, mixed with other flavorings — as well as peppermint candies, butter crunch, English toffee, choco- late almonds and chocolate- covered espresso pillows," says Ben Katzenstein, CEO of Star Kay White. Yet even after all of these many years, the heritage of Star Kay White lives on through the extracts that were at the heart of the company's beginnings. The Pure Extracts line offers a selection of ex- quisite flavors, ranging from Pure Al- mond, Chocolate, Lemon, Lavender, Rose and Peppermint. Recently, the modern culinary flavors of Pure Rose- mary, Cardamom and Lime have been added to the collection. This extensive line of high quality ex- tracts is available to professional chefs, brew masters, master distillers and man- ufacturers in half-liter and gallon contain- ers. All of the extracts are non-GMO, gluten free, kosher, all natural and manu- factured at Star Kay White's facilities in New York state from the finest ingredients available.
