Flyers, Pamphlets, and Beers! Oh My!!

Yesterday we food show goers all got together at the local Pizza Place.  We shared pizza, beer, and loads of product literature along with a few laughs.

  We went to the Fancy Food Show to find new companies who create or sell artisan products and catch up with the companies we already work with to see what may be new in their neck of the woods.  This is definitely my favorite type of buying as I am an intense flavors girl!!  I also love love love fresh tasting products.  

With that in mind, I would like to talk up a brand new company called  Nuttyness.  First of all, I think the name is fun,  The packaging is beautiful and I am thrilled to death that this is from the Bay Area.  This means that we have a better shot of them coming to do a demo in our store.  I dig demos.  That's how we buy.  It's the most effective form of advertising if you ask me.  Especially if it's a new or not particularly low priced item. If I can prove to you that it's worth it, I've hooked you. Until the next great thing.  And I will get you. :P

Marzipan with a Twist.

Nuttyness makes premium, chocolate covered marzipan. They use only the finest California almonds, and all products are made right here in the Bay Area. These marzipan bars are a unique blend of European tradition with California flavors - Marzipan with a Twist!  They were soft and super fresh tasting. ( My mouth waters just thinking about them!)

It really helps that the owners were extremely easy to befriend.  They want to partner in getting their product to the consumer.  I always say, If you're not interested in your product.. then why should I be.  

These are a no brainer for us.  I am going to call them right now to place an order.
  How many do you want?
