B or n at the tur n of the 20th centur y into a family of far mers and far mstead cheesemakers in M euse, France, it was after World War I – at 22 years old – that Henri Hutin quick ly expanded the company ’s Brie produc tion to meet the demand he created across France’s nor theaster n region, having stretched his sales territor y to the nearby cities of Metz and Nanc y and earning his reputation as “master cheesemaker ”
Hutin’s business acumen and k nowhow, combined with his perseverance –his first fac tor y burned down and the second was destroyed during WWII – allowed his cheese company to continually evolve in its produc tion of sof t-ripened cheeses. Maintaining a focus on craf tsmanship and quality by using premium fresh milk and cream from cows in the Lorraine Valley, a region k nown for its

Organic meat is booming. I n the past year, organic meat sales have grown 37% versus two years ago, outpacing the meat depar tment, which only grew by 20%, according to Nielsen data
Nor th Countr y Smokehouse’s recent brand awareness sur vey repor ts consumers consider it the retailer and operators’ responsibilit y to educate their shoppers about the values and benefits of eating organic and to make these produc ts available to shoppers who value their health, animal welfare and sustainability That ’s a lot to chew on
A aron Cor bett, CEO of Nor th Countr y Smokehouse in Claremont, N H , noted sugar-free proteins have been trending for the last few years and consumer demand continues to grow.
In addition, organic consumers are becoming increasingly more aware of the regenerative aspec ts of farming and are look ing to buy from brands that don’t just check the non- GMO organic boxes but who produce foods through sustainable prac tices that respec t not only the livestock , but also the land
“Consumers understand the role they play in the food system, and how the choices they make impac t the soil, air and water,” Corbett said. “ This is a trend we will continue to see, and we’re well aligned because we’ve been doing it that way for years I n many cases, producers see an oppor tunity and pivot to meet the needs of the consumer In our case, we’ve been operating in the best
interest of a sustainable future for the last 16 years, and we are happy to see the market begin to adopt a more sustainable food philosophy.”
Nor th Countr y has a large offering of organic produc ts ranging from bacon to sausage, deli meat and low and slow smoked ham “ The por k is sourced from our ver y own ver tically integrated, organic family far ms,” Corbett said “ That means we have full control over the process and can offer our customers and consumers complete transparenc y.”
O ver the last few years, the company h a s l a u n c h e d s e ve r a l a p p l e wo o d s m o k e d, o r g a n i c meat produc ts that a re t h e f i r s t - o ftheir-k ind available in the mar ketplace, including organic Canadian bacon, ham steak and petite ham “Not only are we offer ing new produc ts with organic attr ibutes which until recently have been i m p o s s i b l e t o f i n d o n s t o re s h e l ve s, we’re fo c u s e d o n m o d e s t a n d co nve nient pack sizes, so consumers can enjoy flavors they love without having to bite o f f m o re t h a n t h e y c a n c h e w,” Co r b e t t said
In the J&M Foods family, FOOD = LOVE
That ’s the straightfor ward equation that compelled Jamie Par ham to enlist the help of her t wo daughters, Janis & M elanie and star t J&M Foods in her
k itchen, 30 years ago
The foundation: obsess over simple ingredients with consistent quality across ever y batch No cutting corners with colors, ar tificial flavors or trans fats. Bak ing the way Jamie’s Grandmother taught her
Never ones to rest on their laurels, Janis & Melanie are constantly testing, tasting and tinkering with new recipes Most recently, they ’ve created a captivating line of organic wafers and cookies sure to gain attention from even the most discerning eaters.
I t sounds simple enough, but those who eat organic have a higher standard and demand a lot from food They don’t care for synthetic or bioengineered ingredients, and they like food to taste great Janis & M elanie organics does just that Made with simple
The more consumers demand organic food the faster it will be produced to meet that demand Retailers and operators can do their par t in increasing organic meat k nowledge by mak ing infor mation easily accessible with signage and case displays, plus utilizing its company website to tell the stor y of where their meat is coming from. It ’s also impor tant to make sure the USDA Organic seal is evident and that shoppers understand the credibility of the claims

Upon emigrating to Chicago from Spilinga, I taly, Agostino Fiasche set out to rediscover the full-flavored, spreadable salami ‘Nduja (en-DOO -ja) of his native Calabr ia. Finding no suitable offer ing in Amer ica, Agostino and his son, Tony, pledged to create their own signature ‘Nduja, and other salumi, by using only her itage B er kshire pork from k indred M idwestern producers
That was near ly 10 years ago. Today, that vision continues as the company celebrates its growth and as the industr y celebrates Tempesta’s quality
I t ’s been 10 years since the Fiasches first offered ‘Nduja to a M idwest market that likely didn’t realize just how much it longed for a traditional Calabr ian salami. A fier y culmination of fresh por k , local peppers and sea salt, ‘Nduja is made to be spread like butter or added to sauces and other accompaniments The versatilit y of ‘Nduja is nearly limitless
Fittingly, this year mar ks Tempesta’s tenth national award – its fifth from The G ood Food Awards and the first for its flagship ‘Nduja offering It marks another first, as well; Tempesta is the first and only company in the United States to be awarded for its ‘Nduja, and rightfully so Tempesta’s B er kshire por k Pistachio Mor tadella is also recognized for excellence this year I t ’s hardly a secret Since 2016, the company ’s Finocchiona, Speck, Culatello and Wagyu Bresaola have all received honors by the G ood Food Awards, sofi Awards, and Charcuter ie Masters, to name a few. Many of the best restaurants in the United States have appointed Tempesta’s handmade salumi as their own “ house -made” offer ings, and specialt y retailers ranging from Zingerman’s to Whole Foods, Eataly and Weg-
mans stock their cases with Tempesta B on Appétit magazine has refer red to Tempesta’s offerings as “Legendar y.”
To meet growing demands, the company is construc ting a new 20,000 square foot facilit y, which greatly expands its cook ing capacit y for foodservice and retail –and for the first time, a dedicated slicing line A focus on snacks mar ks greater expansion to Tempesta’s produc t roster in the new year The Fiasches anticipate ex tending their streak of 25% growth
“I t ’s been an incredible run over these past 10 years,” Tony Fiasche says. “Our wholesale and retail customers want the best the mar ket has to offer and we’ll keep pushing to give it to them They make it possible for us to keep mak ing traditionally inspired craft salumi in new and different ways For us, mak ing is doing and we can’t wait to do more with the new facility The national recognition from within the industr y is just the crown on top of it all.”
Tempesta Ar tisan Salumi is the culmination of more than 100 years of family exper tise and is rooted in the r ich Calabr ian legac y of mak ing unapologetically authentic and inspired products By embracing local relationships, exceptional qualit y and an uncompromising focus on ar tisanal craft, the Fiasche commitment endures in producing a full range of traditional I talian salumi of the highest standard.

From environmentally friendly foods to alt seafood and ever ything in between, the Specialt y Food Association Trendspotter Panel has predic ted what will be hot in specialty food for 2023.
“Specialty food consumers are looking to make their meal prep easy but exciting and that is driving many of this year ’s trends regarding convenience, pack aging improvements, and global flavors,” said Denise Purcell, SFA's vice president, resource development “At the same time, they continue to care about how their food is grown and the health benefits it offers, giving rise to evolving sustainabilit y, plant-based, and better-for-you trends ”
Professionals from diverse segments of the culinar y world comprise the SFA’s Trendspotter Panel: Patsy R amirez-Arroyo, food & sustainabilit y consultant; M elanie Zanoza Bar telme, M intel; Osei Blackett, Pick y Eaters R estaurant, Ar iapita and Chef Pick y Events + Catering; M ikel Cirkus, Firmenich; Jenn de la Vega, Put A Egg On It; Jonathan Deutsch, Ph.D., CHE, CRC, Drexel University ; Vic toria Ho, SherpaCPG; Lindsay Leopold, food stylist; Stan Sagner, We Work for Food, LLC; K antha Shelke, Ph D , CFS, IFT Fellow, Cor vus Blue LLC; and V Sheree Williams, The Global Food & Drink I nitiative, Cuisine Noir
Here are the nine trends the Trendspotter Panel anticipates for 2023:
After honing their sk ills during stay-athome mandates, many consumers have ambitions of continuing to cook, but col-

Jake’s Nut Roasters (Cont ’d. from p. 1)
Jake’s Nut Roasters is a creative line of specialt y almond snacks with distinctively bold and unique flavors, which include Bleu Cheese Cracked Pepper, Bloody M ar y, M esquite Smoked, Hatch Chile, Maple, Barbecue, Buffalo and Brine & Dill New to the Jake’s 7- ounce can lineup are single ser ve 1 5- ounce snack packs, available in our most popular flavors, including Bleu Cheese Cracked Pepper, Bloody Mar y, Mesquite Smoked and Buffalo These packs are the per fec t snacks to throw in your lunch bag or an easy grab on your way out the door These almonds are in fac t “Straight from
lectively are tired And people still want restaurant- quality food but without the price tag and the uncer tainty associated with supply chain disruption and labor shor tage. "Brands will focus on helping consumers go simple in their preparation and cooking routines, and assure wouldbe cooks that taking shor tcuts is nothing to be ashamed of," says Melanie Bartelme
“ The coming year will pave the way for curated meal kits with specialty foods that one can make and serve at home without sacrificing authenticity, convenience, and taste,” said Kantha Shelke. “Similarly, specialty food companies are making it easier for those who want to cook from scratch by cross-promoting with the appropriate cooking tools and recipes ”
Authors and media personalities are filling the education gap between readyto - cook food k its and ready-to - eat They're helping create ar tisanal products plus video tutor ials, and cook books to go along with it," said Jenn de la Vega.
If convenience is top, sustainability and environmental concer ns is a close runner up
“ With growing unrest over climate issues and their impact on the future food supply, produc ts that feature some aspect of sustainable ingredients, upcycled ingredients, or environment-friendly pack aging, are leading the way,” said Jonathan Deutsch.
B old brand names, engaging visuals and purpose - driven messaging are differentiating these produc ts in several categor ies Plant-based foods’ continu-

Jake’s almonds provide an unparalleled snacking experience and make eating this healthy snack both fun and satisfying! Produced in a dedicated peanut-free facility, these premium California almonds are dr y roasted and seasoned in small batches to deliver exceptional quality Almonds are an essential plant-based snack ing alternative, providing numerous health benefits with key protein, vitamins, and minerals, which should always be par t of a healthy diet B e sure to tr y some of Jake’s bold and unique seasoned almond produc ts
ing growth plays a role here. Ingredients such as mushrooms, seaweed and jackfruit have been developed into different produc ts and pasta's pandemic -fueled comeback made room for more innovation with black rice, pumpk in, red lentils, lupini and purple carrots
Expect to see more from visionar y entrepreneurs engaging in regenerative agriculture who are creating seed-to-shelf future supply chains, funneling resources into the research and restoration of more localized, biodynamic food systems, carbon farming and indigenous farming practices, soil fer tility, and seed diversity
“
The awareness of the meatless categor y is driving consumers to look for alternatives in seafood, too. Key to acceptance is aligning nutr itional values, tex ture, and flavor to those of traditional fish,” said Patsy R amirez-Arroyo
New patents and technologies are populating the space, marine farming is rising as an option to traditional agriculture, and some specialty food brands are getting people to rethink seaweed and algae As consumers are lured by more sustainable options, they are catching on to seafood alternatives.
Consumers will seek more balance bet ween their desire for health and sheer indulgence Func tional foods won' t suffer as a result: with interest in immunity, gut health, memor y and so many other health components, manufac turers are introducing func tional ingredients into produc ts any where they can.
“Better-for-you snacks like dehydrated vegetables or mushroom chips continue to dominate,” said Lindsay Leopold Following stringent healthful routines
From this evolution, Tor tuga’s Southern Trio range was born, which consists of Kentuck y B our bon Butter Cake, M oonshine Apple Pie Cake, and the newest addition, Tennessee Whiskey Spice Cake I t is carefully craf ted with Tennessee Whiskey ’s r ich aroma, complex flavors and the distinc t notes that emerge from the spices. Consumers will feel a war m embrace with a spic y k ick , but smooth finish All three flavors are available in the standard sizes – 4-ounce,

A fresh crop of globally inspired condiments, sauces, oils and seasonings will champion approachable ever yday adventure. Increasingly clean-label and inherently convenient, these versatile meal star ters and finishing touches invite consumers to exper ience regional comfor t foods as new k itchen staples
“Shared through the memor y, influence and multi- generational heritage of immigrants, this wave of tex ture and flavor offers complex, nuanced blends of her bs, spice, specialt y chiles, fruit, r ich nuts and seeds and punches of umami,” said Vic toria Ho.
Think Sichuan fr ied chile cr isp, West Afr ican shito sauce, M exican salsa macha, Spanish romesco, Indian achaar, Filipino adobo and more
“From main dishes to condiments, in 2023 we will see a lot more international flavors,” said Osei Blackett
For 2023, the desire for boldness and intensity in flavor experiences will increase as people continue to kickstar t their lives or pursue new paths
“ What began in the hot sauce categor y is exploding into honey, spreads, confec tions, beverages, and snacks, snagging new markets like younger consumers, especially, and inspir ing specialty food companies to introduce heat and spice into existing produc t lines,” said M ikel Cirkus.
16- ounce, and 32- ounce Tor tuga’s new selec tion of spirit cakes are inspired by Amer ica’s oldest and traditional delectable recipes and give consumers the oppor tunit y to exper ience unique flavors charac ter ized by bold notes and magnificent richness

sources this premium I talian E VOO from Tuscany, Apulia and Sicily, exclusively for international markets
B ellucci now has a car bon-neutral EVOO line that compensates for its emissions by par ticipating in offsetting programs, thanks to the collaboration with Climate Par tner – a leading company in the sustainabilit y sec tor, ac tive in Europe since 2006
But what does it take to become carbon-neutral? I t means measur ing the emissions generated each year by one or more produc t lines, laying down a strategic plan to reduce them over time
and immediately star ting to offset the remaining emissions by financing cer tified offsetting projec ts
“ We approached Climate Par tner with a clear goal: to transfor m an already authentic, traceable E VOO into a fully sust a i n a b l e p ro d u c t , ” e x p l a i n s G i o v a n n i Q u a r a t e s i , s a l e s & b u s i n e s s d e ve l o pment cer tified or igins division direc tor i n t h e U n i te d S t a te s “ We f i n a l l y c a l c ulated all the emissions generated by the B e l l u c c i I t a l i a n E x t r a Vi r g i n O l i ve O i l supply chain and chose a reforestation p ro j e c t i n a d e s e r t e d a re a o f C h i n a t o b a l a n c e t h e g l o b a l g re e n h o u s e g a s e m i s s i o n s o f o n e o f o u r m o s t p o p u l a r brands.”
Despite what most people think , agriculture and food produc tion are also great contr ibutors to global emissions Cer tified Origins wants to take the lead in the industr y by launching a genuinely sustainable E VOO, with an open invitation to other companies and retailers to follow their example. The company is not new to groundbreak ing innovation and initiatives in the food world; Bellucci EVOO is, in fac t, also one of the first fully traceable ex tra virgin olive oils using Oracle blockchain
“ The end consumer is link ing the concept of authenticity with the one of sustainabilit y more ever y day,” exclaims Giorgio Ber tolini, head of Climate Par t-
ner I talia, “ That ’s why a traditional, quality, ex tra virgin olive oil like Bellucci can be the per fect ambassador to contribute ever y day, transparently and direc tly, to climate ac tion B ecoming and using a car bon-neutral oil means to have real commitment to our planet, measuring, reducing, and offsetting all CO2 emissions Together, we can make a big difference; even small daily gestures like dressing our salad with a delicious, sustainable olive oil will help fight climate change!”

quality and innovation, BrightFresh has become the top source of microgreens and edible flowers for consumers today!
If you didn’t know what microgreens are, they’re small, young edible greens produced from herbs, vegetables and other plants BrightFresh carefully hand-harvests them at the peak of flavor and their delicate, fresh appearance adds beauty, dimension and a range of distinct flavor profiles to
sweet and savory dishes, and even beverages! You can customize any dish and brighten up your culinary creations!
BrightFresh Microgreens are the gold standard of quality Location and growing conditions are very important factors with growing microgreens BrightFresh Microgreens are grown in bright, natural sunshine and are not factor y farmed with ar tificial lighting methods that other growers use to produce microgreens Microgreens should have shor t stems and
fully expanded leaves with deep vibrant color, and this simply cannot be achieved by producing them in energy-intensive factory farms. Even when grown inside a greenhouse, if the outdoor climate is less than ideal, the result is similar to factor y farmed soft, stretched and stemmy with tiny leaves Microgreen nutrition and flavor are in the leaves, not the stems BrightFresh Microgreens are top quality and have the best taste and appearance BrightFresh offers several Microgreens
varieties, including Micro Arugula, Micro Broccoli, M icro Cilantro, M icro K ale M ix, M icro R adish M ix and the most popular, M icro R ainbow M ix. BrightFresh also offers more unique items, such as Gold Pea Shoots, S quash Blossoms and an Her b Flowers M ix Br ightFresh is cur rently available in select retail stores across the United States
