GOURMET NEWS JULY 2018 www.gourmetnews.com FOOD FOR A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE 1 9 Artisan ® Salt Company offers its line of products in reimagined packaging just as exceptional as the salt it contains. Starting with patented shakers and grinders, each able to easily replace a regular shaker or grinder right off the shelf, Artisan has created serving con- tainers with features not found in any other collection. Between airtight lids that pre- serve the salt within from moisture and grinders that come with an infinitely ad- justable and inde- structible ceramic grinding mechanism, these redesigned products are more functional than ever. Artisan even offers beautiful glass boutique jars with Amer- ican black walnut tops that allow cus- tomers to sprinkle finishing salts with their fingers. The key component in SaltWorks' reimagined Artisan line is a series of one- pound pour-spout pouches, which aug- ment the patented flip-lid shakers and grinders, but function as an essential pantry item on their own. Since Artisan's shakers and grinders are designed to be indestructible and reusable, these pack- ages reduce waste by providing an easy way to refill them. The pour spout pouches have their own unique functions as well: they seal tightly to keep out mois- ture and also pour with a steady, even stream — perfect for measuring salt in precise quantities for baking or cooking large portions. The pour spout works so well, in fact, that many people have begun using these pouches as their primary tableside salt container. What was originally intended as a refill has become a successful package in its own right, one that fits easily into store shelves and has the same sharp, refined visual aesthetic that defines the new look of the always-innov- ative Artisan Salt Company. These are all born of Artisan Salt Com- pany's philosophy that salt is more than just a basic commodity: each unique vari- ety, hailing from different parts of the world and harvested in various ways, has its own particular appeal — both in restaurants and at home. Selling salt as an extraordi- nary food requires extraordinary packag- ing. SaltWorks 800.353.7258 www.seasalt.com Pristine Packaging for Premium Salt SPONSORED CONTENT SPONSORED CONTENT Food for a Healthy Lifestyle For its holiday collection this year, Stonewall Kitchen has created confections that are simultaneously novel yet nostal- gic. The Chocolate Covered Gingerbread Boy features a crisp, spiced cookie that's decorated in smooth milk chocolate, a de- licious improvement over the traditional royal icing of yes- teryear. Similarly, Stonewall Kitchen has given S'mores the grownup treatment with its candy of the same name. Layers of graham crackers and fluffy marshmallows are covered in rich milk choco- late and finished with a sprin- kling of festive nonpareils for sophisticated flair. Then there's the Crispy Chocolate Marshmallow Bark, which swaps graham crackers for puffed rice to create a treat that both kids and adults will love—no campfire required. For holiday treats that speak to classic flavor combinations in new and interesting ways, Stonewall Kitchen offers several candies that pair chocolate with favorites like peppermint, caramel and peanut but- ter. The Dark Chocolate Peppermint Bark and the Snowflake Peppermint Bark each feature peppermint pieces, white choco- late and dark chocolate in fun shapes for confections that are both a treat for the eyes and the taste buds. Playing with salty-and-sweet notes, Stonewall Kitchen also makes a crunchy Peanut Butter Toffee Bark and chewy Salted Caramel Rounds, two chocolatey treats that are sure to put anyone in a celebra- tory spirit. Individually en- closed in red-and- white packaging, these delicious con- fections invite cus- tomers to get wrapped up in the holidays. Suited for a variety of uses, Stonewall Kitchen candies are perfect as stocking stuffers, party favors or even just a nice pick-me-up for those looking to enjoy a little something sweet. Even a self- proclaimed grinch can't help but turn their frown upside-down after a bite or two of a Stonewall Kitchen confection. Expertly crafted from high-quality chocolate and other premium ingredients, this seasonal line of tasty treats signals to customers that the holidays are here.
