Bridgewater, CT — In response to demands from retailers and the hospitality industry, eight of The Gracious Gourmet’s award-winning condiments are now available in 78-oz. foodservice sizes — and six products can be purchased in 4-oz. mini jars for gift baskets and hospitality amenities.
The Gracious Gourmet can now help restaurateurs, cafes, prepared food areas, caterers, event planners, chefs and wine bars enliven menus with a wide variety of recipe options. These spreads and tapenades also offer affordable and time-saving accompaniments for cheese plates, roasted meats and more. Many of our customers who operate restaurants and foodservice venues have already found success using our products as spreads for paninis, wraps, flatbreads and pizzas, and in dressings for all types of salads. Developed with healthy eating in mind, The Gracious Gourmet minimizes the use of sugar, salt and oil to deliver all-natural products with unique, fresh and delicious flavors. Because today’s diners demand sophisticated flavors even for casual meals, we’ve created nearly 100 recipes that are suited for foodservice and can provide inspiration. Find them here.
The 78-oz foodservice containers are available in the following flavors:
- Spiced Sour Cherry Spread
- Rosemary Pear Spread
- Balsamic Four Onion Spread
- Peach Apricot Spread
- Portabello Mushroom Tapenade
- Roasted Vegetable Tapenade
- Chile Red Pepper Tapenade
- Fig Almond Spread
Perfect for retailers, those who fabricate gift baskets, event planners and hospitality professionals, the mini glass jars feature the same beautifully designed art found on the standard size jars’ labels. Many hotels offer The Gracious Gourmet’s 4-oz. minis as in-room amenities and as VIP gifts. They are the ideal size to accompany individual cheese plates in the café or on a room service menu, while the standard-size jars can also be cross-merchandised in a retail area. Upscale gift basket fabricators will find the products perfectly pair with cheese, wine, chocolates, crackers and other gourmet treats. Brides have also requested the mini size as favors to give at receptions.
The 4-oz. mini jars are available in six flavors, including three sweet and three savory options:
- Spiced Sour Cherry Spread
- Fig Almond Spread
- Balsamic Four Onion Spread
- Chile Red Pepper Tapenade
- Fennel Blood Orange Tapenade
- Artichoke Parmesan Tapenade
