Tulocay & Co Crafts High-Quality, All
Natural Products For Every Consumer
“Creators of Innovative Artisan Foods” the
Napa-based natural food manufacturer Tulocay
& Co, with five house brands have won
more than 20 awards, including the coveted
Outstanding Product and Product Line
Awards from the National Association of
Specialty Food Trade (NASFT). Napa is
known worldwide for its high-quality wines,
so why did Tulocay & Co choose to produce
food in this setting?
Founded in 1993 with a single product—
etched olive oil decanters sold to wineries, hotels
and private label customers—Tulocay & Co
made a name for itself. The success of this business
led to their first foray into food manufacturing
with an array of dipping oils and flavored
vinegars for leading specialty food retailers.
In 2001, Tulocay & Co took a significant
leap forward when it created the Made In
Napa Valley brand, a line of high-quality, all
natural specialty food products. Enthusiastically
received by gourmet food lovers across
the country, the line was recognized as the
NASFT Outstanding Product Line in 2004.
With the change in the economy, it became
clear that there was a need for the same
high-quality, all natural pantry products with
a value component. But the unique flavors
could not be sacrificed in the process. Vineyard
Pantry was created to meet the needs of
the retailer looking for high-quality, valuepriced
condiments and sauces, but with a
unique flavor profile.
March of 2010 marked the exciting relaunch
of Kingslake & Crane Nature’s Harvest
Granola and Granola Trail Mix with its
fresh new look, name and flavors. The new
name reflects the all natural, healthy ingredients
used in the products, while the fun
packaging highlights the ingredients, and the
active lifestyle associated with granola. In
taste tests with the national granola brands
Kingslake & Crane Nature’s Harvest Granola
wins three to one.
