GOURMET NEWS www.gourmetnews.com n JUNE 2018 n GOURMET NEWS 7 2 New Facility Allows Country Fresh Food to Keep Pace with Growth Country Fresh Food & Confections, Inc. will soon be moving into a new facility that will not only be state of the art, but more impor- tantly, it will allow the company to add new products to go along with keeping up its dou- ble-digit growth of the past few years. Ed Stockton, President of Country Fresh Food & Confections, Inc., explains, "This new facility allows us to add other types of equipment to package items for which we have customer demand. We do quite a bit of private labeling and have had to turn cus- tomers away the past few years that would have proven to be good business; however, we are known for not only our premium fudge, but also our dependability and com- mitment to our cus- tomers. We would never risk letting them down by over-extending our- selves." Country Fresh Food & Confections, Inc. manufactures over 100 different flavors of pre- mium bulk fudge, both regular and sugar free. Additionally, it offers a variety of different sized packages of fudge for most any size and type of retailer, as well as fudge mix for those who wish to make fudge on premises. The company offers private label as well. Visit Country Fresh Food & Confections, Inc. at booth #5306.

New Bursting Bobas Embrace Line from Bossen When co-Founders Edward Shen and Harber Tu launched Bossen in 2012 under Leadway International, Inc., never did they imagine they would become one of the leading wholesale suppliers for boba tea, snow ice and other Asian style desserts. While head- quartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, Bossen is able to serve over 1,000-plus busi- nesses all over the United States and hopes to expand past the borders in the near future. Bossen continually strives to be a "one- stop shop" by offering a large variety of products and supplies for all boba store own- ers. Bossen products have been making boba tea lovers happy for over six years now. One product that gets more love compared to any other product is Bossen's Bursting Bobas ® . They are similar to traditional tapioca pearls, but with a fun unique pop at the end. The in- side of each boba is filled with different fruit flavored juices and brightens up any drink or frozen dessert. Bossen has over 25 different flavors of Bursting Bobas and is frequently develop- ing new ones. Bossen is constantly looking for innovative methods to capture the at- tention and taste buds of all demographics. Bossen's newest line has done just that. The newest line, Burst- ing Bobas Embrace, takes an unconventional approach of flavor com- binations with sweet and savory. The Em- brace line is different from anything presently on the market and is also different from any of Bossen's existing products. The line presents three bold new flavors, and they are black pepper, chili pepper and pink rose. Each pop of boba packs a unique burst of fruitiness and a kick of real black pepper, chili pepper and pink rose petals. Em- brace Bobas will be the first line that is complementary to sweet desserts and also savory dishes such as salads. Visit Bossen at booth #5954.

High-Quality Flax from Premium Gold Since 1906, the Miller family has been producing flaxseed in the heart of North Dakota. Through the years, it has scruti- nized all aspects of growing, harvesting, milling and packaging this little miracle seed. In 2001, the family realized it was a flaxseed expert, and with the help of the family farm, created Premium Gold. What separates Premium Gold from the competition is that it is farm first by tak- ing pride in all aspects of flax. It chooses the seed that is planted, grows the flax with utmost care and makes sure the qual- ity is in the top one percent of all flax grown. It then grinds the flax with a natu- ral process that doesn't require refrigera- tion, providing a 24 month shelf life. Packaging is the final step before ship- ping. All of these steps are carried out on the family farm. The company takes pride in what it does and wants to ensure the highest quality product is on your table. In 2013, Premium Gold developed a line of gluten- free products that are a healthier alternative to starch based gluten-free items. Its gluten-free prod- ucts use ancient grains in- cluding flaxseed from the family farm. Using these an- cient grains results in a product that has great texture, is moist, with an amazing taste. Gluten-free flours are a 1:1 replacement, so there's no need to worry; the end result will be a great tasting product when using your favorite recipes. Premium Gold prod- ucts are painstakingly created with love, so you can rest assured you are buying the highest quality product available. Healthy seeds, healthier you!
