Robert Rothschild Farm Adds
Flavor To Holiday Entertaining
The holidays are a busy time of year for the
retailer and consumer. Retailers have a fantastic
opportunity to inspire their consumer
by demonstrating ways to decorate, set the
table and prepare a meal for their upcoming
party or event. This time of year, a host is
seeking ideas and inspiration from many
sources. Why not be their source of information?
Gourmet food manufacturers can help
with the food preparation. Robert Rothschild
Farm focuses on “Entertaining Made Simple.”
They create and produce gourmet products
with high-quality and complex
ingredients, which taste like your favorite
restaurant dish. Each dip, sauce, spread or
other product can be used in different applications
to create an appetizer, main course or
dessert. Some of the most popular products
from Robert Rothschild Farm are Raspberry
Honey Mustard Pretzel Dip, Buffalo Bleu
Cheese Dip, Dirty Martini Dip, Pineapple
Coconut Mango Tequila Sauce, Hot Pepper
Raspberry Chipotle Sauce, Caramelized
Onion Balsamic Spread and Hot Pepper
Peach Preserves. They are also launching five
new gourmet sauces, which are savory and
distinct and allow the host to cook a delicious
meal with few ingredients and minimal
preparation time. The host can review hundreds
of recipes at www.robertrothschild.com
and choose the perfect recipe for their entertaining
occasion. During the holiday season,
try sampling some of these recipes in-store to
tantalize the taste buds of your consumer.
Whether you are hosting a holiday party, a
guest or looking for a gift, Robert Rothschild
Farm also offers gift sets that are perfect for
any gift-giving occasion. From the food enthusiast
to the entertainer to the sweets lover,
they have something for everyone. They
offer a wide assortment of gift sets at various
price points. Some of the new ones for
this season are a Cheese Set featuring two of
their most popular dips that pair perfectly
with cheese along with a bonus cheese platter
and spreader. The Triple Dip Dish Set includes
three “open and serve” dips and the
ideal serving dishes. Simply fill the bowls
with their gourmet dips, add Robert Rothschild
Farm crackers, pretzels or chips, and
the recipient has a terrific appetizer that
everyone is sure to love. A full size jar of one
of their tasty dips with the perfect pretzel accompaniment
for dipping is available in a
boxed Grab-N-Go Set. A gingerbread house
was the inspiration for the festive Holiday
Dip Set. It includes sample size jars of their
very popular holiday dips. Each of these gifts
plus others are ideal for holiday gift-giving.
The entire collection coordinates and will
make a festive display for your store.
Robert Rothschild Farm can simplify the
holidays from preparing to cooking to giftgiving.
They offer what the consumer desires
during this busy time of year.

Start Your Day The Sensible Way
It’s the best part of a bagel in a snack―Sensible

Ferrara Pan Introduces Premium
Panned Chocolate Peg Bags
Ferrara Pan is now offering four of its popular
premium panned chocolate products in
new peg bags to help retailers satisfy consumers’
desire for an indulgent, yet affordable,
chocolate experience.
The new peg bag products include milk
chocolate-covered and dark chocolatecovered
bridge mix, classic milk chocolatecovered
almonds or peanuts, and gourmet
dark chocolate-covered espresso beans, with
SRPs of $1.99 to $2.29.
Twenty-three percent of chocolate category
sales are driven by displays,* and because
peg bag programs offer high margins
in what is often unused or under-utilized
merchandise space, Ferrara Pan has created
an eye-catching display case with the 4.75-
ounce to 7.0-ounce peg bags featured in a
Onion―and can be found in the deli section
in both six-ounce bags and boxes. This is one
reward snack that your waistline can afford.

without the added preservatives, calories
and artificial flavors.
After MiaDolci’s debut on the market,
sales continue to climb as consumers respond
positively to the innovative cookie alternative.
PARTNERS estimates the
MiaDolci line will soon be one of its top
sellers. Sweet, but not too sweet, the cookie
crisps are superb alone or paired with your
favorite coffee, tea, sorbet or ice cream.
They are available in four delicious flavors:
Chocolate Vanilla Swirl, Toasted Hazelnut,
Cinnamon Crisp and Lightly Lemon. As
with all PARTNERS products, MiaDolci are
certified kosher and contain no preservatives,
hydrogenated oils or trans fats.
Since the gourmet cookie crisps are distinct

needs to set itself apart as well. Designed
with versatility in mind, MiaDolci are available
in 6.5-ounce or two-ounce boxes. Each
box has two front faces, allowing for horizontal
or vertical display. The rich, earthtoned
packaging with easily identifiable
flavors looks appealing grouped together on
a shelf, in a display rack or in a gift basket.

could call it whatever they wanted to. Leonard
Mountain has become a niche for those little
companies, and now not so little companies,
to have something that is simply show-stopping
and all their own. Leonard Mountain has
always been known for its very delightful and
wide ranging product line. Today, they are
sharing those recipes with everyone through
their own personal labeling. This new project
is called―Our Label or Yours. While they are
always delighted to sell Leonard Mountain
under any one of their many labels, they have
found that labeling for stores under their label
is quite big business for them.
With the design team that Leonard Mountain
has on staff, they are able to take the logos
and ideas from their customers and turn around
custom design work in a very short time frame.
This allows the customer to have their artwork
quickly and product readily available. All the
product is made quickly for the customer, so
that usually they can turn around an order in 7-
10 business days, depending on the season of
the year. Leonard Mountain keeps records of
all the Private Label work, so that they can refer
to the critical points used in each file, making
the process seamless and very efficient for each
customer. With many customers, Leonard
Mountain inventories some part of their packaging,
keeping track for the customer of what
they have on hand.
Private Label is big business. It builds customer
loyalty. It causes customers to return to
your shop because that product is not sold elsewhere
and therefore cannot be price compared.
You then can bring that customer into your
shop to purchase other items while they buy the
Private Labeled items.
Leonard Mountain offers a very easy, very
simple private label program. Contact one of
their salespeople at 800-822-7700 or visit
www.leonardmountain.com and click on the
Private Label tab to read about their Private
Label Program. Stop by their booth during the
Fancy Food Show―booth 4223―to have
someone help with this exciting program.
