Dedicated to
Producing Only Classical French Stocks and Sauces
Akron, Ohio — October 28, 2003 —
The Kitchens of More than Gourmet is
proud to announce the opening of its newly constructed state-of-the-art
production facility and lab/test kitchen. This cutting edge facility is a
combination of the best of the old world with 21st century food processing
technology.
"Our company was founded on
the concept of creating classics that meet the highest standards of
culinary excellence without compromise," said company President
Bernard Leff. "We pride ourselves on the fact that we work diligently
to carry out the time honored tradition and heritage of the French Master
Chef Escoffier by blending old world tradition with new world food
technology. Our new kitchens and lab will honor and remain true to his
precise dictates for producing only classically-made stocks and
sauces."
In late 2002, More Than Gourmet
made a commitment to the future of stocks and sauces and embarked on
designing a new production facility dedicated to its craft - Classical
French Stocks and Sauces. The company expanded existing headquarters in
Akron, Ohio and converted it to a world-class facility that brings
exciting new capabilities to its customers.
"Our staff of highly trained
craftsman and culinary professionals work together to produce the finest
"classically made from scratch" stocks and sauces for world wide
distribution. We are the first and only company to produce a full line of
French classics without chemicals, preservatives, filler or other
ingredients not found in Escoffier's traditional recipes. More Than
Gourmet's prominent position in the global marketplace is directly related
to our staff's classic skills and extraordinary execution in the world's
finest production and R&D facilities," explained CEO Brad Sacks.
With its expanded capabilities,
More Than Gourmet provides professional chefs and home gourmets with a
rapidly-growing line of classics stocks and sauces, or it can now assign
its on-site craftsmen and chefs to tailor a custom product for its
professional chefs and institutional customers. The new facility enhances
the company's position as the only company with the classical background
and technical ability to produce shelf stable high quality products
without chemicals preservatives or other unwanted ingredients. In addition
to our shelf stability technology, More Than Gourmet can also offer frozen
products if customers prefer.
"Many companies today claim
that frozen is best, but that's only because they do not have the ability
to produce shelf stable products," said Sacks. "While ultimately
it's a customer's choice, we prefer shelf stable as it allows us to
provide the highest quality product in the safest possible method,
eliminating the significant added costs of freezing and shipping frozen
goods. Since our shelf stable products are highly concentrated, we ship as
much as 1/10th or more the weight of a frozen product."
The new production facility/test
kitchen is the latest in a string of investments More Than Gourmet has
made in expanding its business during the past few years. Almost three
years ago, the company established its own sales and distribution center
in the Netherlands, servicing all of Europe, and this past year added
proven distributors in Japan and Singapore to service customers throughout
Asia. With our complete dedication to the highest level worldwide, the
company utilizes the finest computer systems available for manufacturing,
sales, order processing and distribution, including advanced online
ordering and shipment tracking capabilities.
