As Thanksgiving approaches, Ocean Spray is helping to promote one of the holiday's favorite meal accompaniments: the incredible cranberry. Americans have a rich history, and the cranberry continues to play an important role within the Thanksgiving tradition. With the season approaches, Ocean Spray asks you chefs out there to consider putting a twist on your traditional cranberry concoctions. Try spicing up the national holiday by taking standard recipes and creating new palette pleasers like Ocean Spray's Ultimate Party Meatballs, Outrageous Chocolate Cranberry Fudge Cake, Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chunk Cookies and Cape Cod Cornbread Stuffing, just to name a few. Ken Romanzi, Ocean Spray’s chief operating officer of North America states, “At Ocean Spray, we are proud to share in the vast and diversified history and heritage of the cranberry.”
This holiday season, Atlas Produce and Distribution Inc. is treading lightly toward the new year. The company has begun shipping their delicious Californian dates on the rails using the innovative Railex platform. Shipping by train allows Atlas to maintain a smaller carbon footprint while still delivering great quantities of quality Caramel Naturel products. The company is currently shipping items including Fresh Medjool Dates, Date Coconut Rolls, and Date Almond Rolls just in time for Thanksgiving. By promoting recipes such as the Baked Medjool Dates Stuffed with Cheese, Wrapped In Prosciutto and Medjool Dates Stuffed with Cream Cheese for the often overlooked date, will help increase sales for retailers that have often been lacking in the past. Robert Dobrzanski, President of Atlas Produce states, "We are now the greenest date company in our industry. Using railroads will coordinate our green efforts in line with our retail partners."
