OCG Show Daily Sunday, June 10, 2018 8 Novacart Launches New Look with New Website By Joe Miglia, General Manager, Novacart Novacart is known for our full product line of bake and sell paper packaging. Reaching a huge milestone in 2016, we are now celebrating over 90 years in business. We have been leading the industry with quality and innovation. Our company is about creating the standard, not following it. We have recently launched our new website, www.novacartusa.com, with a fresh look and improved features to guide customers through our products. We real- ize how difficult packaging is to source and many websites are vague, not show- ing all their products or what bakes well in each mold, which is why we feature our full product line and multiple search areas. Our new searches on the site allow you to narrow your field to the best choices for your project. You can search by type of baked good, size or even ounce capacity. Every year we add new products to our line. This year our technical depart- ment has worked to create designs that tailor to the American needs and three of our new molds are for the single serve market. We have had many requests to make deeper single serve molds; in response, our Round 3 5/8" mold and our Square 3 x 3" mold are now both 1½" deep. The added depth makes these molds great for pies, cakes, brownies and custards. Along with this is our new stan- dard size brioche baking mold, a single serving, yet larger than our mini brioche cups. This mold is designed to stand up to yeast bread, but it is also great for a jumbo cupcake or a beautiful pie. At Novacart, we want to give our cus- tomers options to enhance their look and differentiate their prod- ucts, which brought us to add a new color to our baking line with lids. Introducing two individual size molds for the grab and go market that will feature a terra cotta exterior with a white interior. One of the latest trends that came out this past holiday is a new generation of Panettone, where artisan bakers are using fresh, quality ingredients and the results are incredible. To meet the needs of this growing market, we are introducing three sizes of our corrugated molds (M-Series) that are formed with tall and sturdy sides to support the delicate structure while adding a refined look. We know that many of our customers use our molds for the bake and sell market as seen in grocery stores and retail bakeries, but our prod- ucts can be used in a variety of applications, such as catering events that bake or display in our molds, restau- rants for plated desserts or baked-in entrees. Our paper baking molds transport easily and dispose after one use, making them great for sweet as well as savory foods. Our PET laminated line works great for quiches, lasagna and other savory dishes that make great to-go containers going from freezer to oven to table. Created from paper, a renewable source, Novacart products are a perfect solution for the food industry. Visit Novacart at booth #1555.

Dietz & Watson Gas Flushed Grab & Go Program Every retailer is always on the lookout for programs that bring revenue up and labor costs down. With Dietz & Watson's Gas Flushed Grab & Go program, service delis now have a way to make it happen in a significant way. Dietz & Watson is constantly com- ing up with new, innovative ideas to help its retail partners meet their sales goals. The Dietz & Watson Gas Flushed Grab & Go program is convenient for both retail- ers and customers, nearly eliminating labor costs and long wait lines at the service deli. The program delivers product that is sliced fresh, packaged under a patent- pending process that includes gas flush packaging technology. This ensures qual- ity and extends the shelf life of a sliced product. This will allow you to create a grab and go section without needing the labor at store level to slice, weigh, tag and bag the product. It also allows each store to carry inventory of various sliced grab and go items that they can weigh, seal and stock the shelves with only when needed. This will ensure no out-of-stocks while maintaining peak product fresh- ness. The master packages are ordered at store level, shipped directly from Dietz & Watson to the retailer warehouse and guar- anteed to the receiver with a plus-21 day freshness window. The program eliminates labor costs associated with slicing and bagging the product, giving you increased dollars to your bottom line while creating additional sales by a convenient item for shoppers. All you need to do at store level is order the product, open the gas-flushed pouch, seal the inner deli bags, generate a proper PLU label, seal the deli bag and place in the case. Fast, simple and fresh. This pushes the deli as a profit center over the service case and onto the floor. Once the master package has been opened and the gas is released, meat and cheese is given a "Use Within 5 Days" fresh- ness window. Execution of this program is easy, and Dietz & Watson will pro- vide in-store support as well as visual content to assist in training your deli staff. Consider introducing the Gas Flushed Grab & Go Fresh Sliced Program to your deli and watch your deli profits soar. Visit Dietz & Watson at booth #3031 at the IDDBA 2018 Show. Authentic Carved Gyro Slices for Your Menu Gyros are synonymous with Greek cui- sine and a long-time favorite at festivals, food trucks and with Greek restaurants, but due to the need for vertical broilers and skilled labor for slicing, it was more difficult for non-specialty restaurants to serve a high quality authentic gyro item – until now. Grecian Delight proudly intro- duces ReadyCarved™ Flame Broiled Off-the-Cone Gyro Slices, the quick and easy way to add real, authentic ethnic flavor to any menu. ReadyCarved meats are partially broiled and sliced right off the cone. Just heat and serve to-order. No extra space, labor, special skills or equip- ment needed. "Our new ReadyCarved Gyro slices are the real deal," declares Peter Parthenis Jr., Grecian Delight President and Chief Executive Officer. "Flame broiled and sliced right from the cone in our SQF Level 3 USDA facility. All of the quality and authen- ticity with none of the hassle, equip- ment, space, labor or special skills required." The National Restaurant Association's What's Hot 2018 has 64 percent of surveyed chefs indicating that street food inspired entrées are a hot trend. As consumers are demand- ing more ethnic foods in mainstream QSR and fast casual, ReadyCarved Off-the-Cone Gyro Slices are a perfect menu addition and can crate numerous menu opportunities from classic to contem- porary. ReadyCarved Off-the-Cone Gyro Slices are great for tra- ditional classics like gyro sandwiches and salads and more adventurous usages in shareable platters, flatbreads and piz- zas, breakfast omelettes, paninis, bowls and contemporary appetizers such as nachos, tacos mini flights and open-face sandwiches. With no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, cereal binder or bread crumbs and made with an MSG-free spice blend, the ReadyCarved Off-the- Cone Gyro Slices are a perfect blend of quality meats and spices that have been flame-broiled for a flavorful result. "We have taken our premier Athenian ® Gyro formula and used this signature quality and flavor, but adapted it to the needs of b r o a d l i n e r e s t a u r a n t concepts and what con- sumers are seeking on menus today," states Parthenis. "Just cook and serve from frozen, any time of day, in a microwave, oven or flattop grill. Quality, authenticity, versatility and conven- ience." Grecian Delight, A Pure Mediterranean Foods Company, brings you the very best of Greek and Mediterranean cuisine with products including gyros and specialty meats, pitas and flatbreads, Tzatziki, hummus and spreads, falafel and additional Mediterranean specialties.

Traditional Cream Cheese from Ann Arbor Hailed by Cook's Illustrated as the best in the nation, Zingerman's Cream Cheese owes its singular greatness to research – and antiquity. For this spreadable delight, the creamery based its recipe on one from 1939, which brings out the diverse flavor of the milk. Three other great flavors are avail- able, including Liptauer, a blend of fresh cream cheese with two types of paprika, garlic, sea salt capers, toasted caraway and a touch of anchovy paste; Fresh Goat Cheese, which features a startlingly fresh taste and a sen- sually creamy texture; and Pimento Cheese, featuring aged raw milk ched- dar ground coarsely with slow roasted red peppers, Tellicherry black pepper, mayon- naise and just enough cayenne to make it dan- gerous.
