A Step Back In Time… A Step Up In Quality.
Artuso founder Vincent F. Artuso Sr. started the American dream when he migrated to the states
from Reggio di Calabria, Italy in 1930. By 1946, his dream became a reality when he proudly opened
Artuso Pasty Shop in New York’s famous Little Italy section of the Bronx. With the addition of an
expanding wholesale manufacturing facility, their authentic Italian desserts are shipped nationwide.
Today, Artuso’s remains a family-owned and operated New York fixture and is enjoying its fourth
generation. Their commitment to superior quality has rendered countless awards and industry recognition.
All of these accolades are further proof that Artuso Pastry is more than just a family success
story – it’s an American success story.

Good Food c Great Heart
Bob Moore and his wife, Charlee, founded Bob’s Red Mill
in 1978 with the mission of bringing people back to basics
with nutritious whole grains and minimally processed foods.
Charlee believed in the benefts of whole grains long before
they were widely accepted, which inspired Bob to launch our
mill with stone ground whole wheat four and a handful of other goods.
Since then, our company has expanded greatly, but it has never strayed from
that core mission. Today, we offer more than 200 products, and we’re a leader
in gluten free, non-GMO, organic and whole grain foods! We also believe in
taking care of the people who helped us get here: Bob’s Red Mill is now proudly
100% employee owned, and we’re committed
to upholding the values and legacy of Bob
and Charlee Moore.
We invite you to explore our products:
it’s our privilege to bring you Good Food
with Great Heart!

A FAMILY RUN BUSINESS,
DEEPLY ROOTED IN NAPLES
AND ITS LAND.
Since our founding in 1924, three
generations of the Caputo family have
produced flour in accordance with the
ancient Neapolitan art of baking. The result
of a fortunate incident of “backwards
emigration," our mill was founded in 1924,
when brothers Carmine and Pasquale Caputo
returned to Capua, their hometown, after
gaining work experience in the USA. When
Carmine passed away, the company passed
into the hands of his son, then 21-year-old
Antimo Caputo.
To grow the business, Antimo moved the mill
to Naples as the wheat used in the production
of flour arrived by boat. Business grew and in
the 1960s the first silo was constructed. When
a fire devastated the mill in the 1970s,
Antimo's wife Maddalena and their two sons
Carmine and Eugenio rebuilt it even bigger
and better than before. By the 1980s, Caputo
was the gold standard for local artisans.
Caputo has been a family owned business
for generations. We still use the same
traditional milling technique, and treat
our flour with love and respect.
Images are from Biscuit Love in Nashville, TN!
The last few decades have seen Carmine and Eugenio’s sons, Antimo and Mauro, come on
board. We’ve entered markets like the United States and Japan, bolstered by our strong
commitment to the culture of traditional pizza and Campanian products..
Today, our team of quality experts checks each variety in the field, so we can control and
supervise our grain “from the seed to the mill.” We survey the best Italian and European
wheats and every wheat variety is analyzed in our lab before purchase. Rheological and
microbiological analysis are made on various samples in order to ensure they meet our
quality and safety standards. A team of skillful operators checks the main characteristics of
every blend, so we can truly stand behind every bag of flour we package.
Our mission is to bring you expertly crafted flours for every purpose. Selection and
blending of wheat is a skill, and it’s one we’ve proudly handed down from generation to
generation. We want to be a point of inspiration for you in the way we craft our
ingredients and hold them to the highest standards. We’re constantly innovating,
evolving, and perfecting our craft!
This is the art of Caputo, the Mill of Naples.

GLUTEN FREE
Premium Flours and Baking Mixes,
from Chef Thomas Keller.
Cup4Cup’s story began in 2010 at THOMAS KELLER’S lauded restaurant,
THE FRENCH LAUNDRY. It was here that chefs developed a gluten free
Cornet of Salmon Tartare in response to diners who didn’t want to miss out
on this menu highlight. The gluten free cornet tasted just like the original
recipe. This culinary creation was a turning point.
The result of the kitchen experiment yielded Cup4Cup—the frst 1:1
gluten free four that eliminated complicated conversions and delivered
premium taste, texture and performance. Just as its name suggests,
Cup4Cup replaces traditional all-purpose four or whole wheat four in any
recipe, cup-for-cup and gram-for-gram.
Cup4Cup also provides easy-to-use baking mixes that deliver the same
consistency and texture of regular four. Customers can utilize our library of
sweet and savory recipes developed by our chefs for the growing gluten free
community, their friends and families.
• Certifed Gluten Free Flours and Baking Mixes
• Premium Taste, Texture and Performance
• Available in 25# food service bags

David Leiderman, a classically trained French chef
cooking in New York City, had a particular fondness
for cookies and other baked goods. After visiting
boutique cookie stores on the West Coast he thought
the idea of a store selling premium quality fresh
baked cookies would translate well to the Eastern US.
Using his training and only the finest all natural
ingredients - pure vanilla, butter, Swiss chocolate
and whole nuts – he created the ultimate Chocolate
Chunk cookie and featured it in his first David’s Cookies
store on 2nd Avenue in Manhattan which opened
in 1979. An instant hit, these delicious cookies won
many awards including the NY Newsday Award for
the Best Chocolate Chunk Cookie. David began
franchising and soon there were 25 David's Cookies
stores in Manhattan alone, 75 in the greater New York
area and over 150 additional stores worldwide selling
22 different varieties of fresh baked cookies.
Throughout the 1990’s David's Cookies continued its
evolution into a full line dessert supplier producing
brownies, crumb cakes, muffin batters, thaw & serve
muffins and cheesecakes. With the acquisition of
Bittersweet Pastries, the line grew to include upscale
thaw and serve tarts, layer cakes and single serve
desserts as well.
Today, with its diverse line of dessert offerings which
now includes scone dough, rugalach, vegan cookie
dough and gluten free products, David’s Cookies can
satisfy the demands of all segments of the foodservice
industry from schools to white tablecloth restaurants.
Working with major broadline and specialty
foodservice distributors, David’s Cookies products
are readily available throughout the United States
and are exported internationally.
Business thrived until the late 1980’s when increased
operating costs forced many of the stores to close.
The company was then purchased by Fairfield
Gourmet Foods Corp, a New Jersey based gourmet
dessert company. The David’s brand was rejuvenated
by introducing the now-classic Chocolate Chunk
cookie and the other flavors of frozen cookie dough
into Foodservice.

Dufour Pastry Kitchens co-founders and co-owners, Judi Arnold and Carla Krasner, left Carnegie Hall and
classical concert management, looking for a change from promoting the careers of others. Judi was a high
energy salesperson who was also a great cook, and Carla had a flair for baking, furthered by the culinary classes
she took during a college year in France. They decided to combine their talents and rented a table in a caterer’s
kitchen where they set out to experiment with savory pastry recipes. When the caterer asked if they could
make puff pastry hors d’oeuvres for her events, the revelation that the caterer did not make everything in house
led them to discover their niche, and Dufour Pastry Kitchens was born. The name Dufour, a combination of the
French words “du” and “four”- from the oven - was a nod to the appeal of French cuisine and to the French
pastry they were perfecting.
In 1983 prepared frozen hors d’oeuvres were a rarity. Encouraged by great reactions from the chefs who tasted
their samples, Judi and Carla launched their line of creative, high quality, frozen savory pastries for the food
service trade, starting from a 900 square foot storefront in the still gritty Gansevoort Meat Market. Judi began
marketing and immediately sold the St. Regis Hotel. Other prestigious hotels soon came on board, grateful for
help with their quality banquet menus. Numerous caterers including the original Balducci’s, Bloomingdale’s
and Macy’s all sold Dufour products under their own brand.
Eventually chefs began to ask for the dough that Dufour made to encase their hors d’oeuvres. The resulting
product lines, all-butter puff pastry and pie doughs as well as assorted raw, hand-crafted tart shells became the
mainstays of the business. The complete range of Dufour products has been awarded 19 Sofi awards. The
classic puff pastry has won in both the Best Baked Good/Baking Ingredient category and in the overall category
of Best Classic. The recipe has not changed since the company’s founding: butter from an upstate New York
dairy, flour, water, salt, and lemon juice with an over 50% butter to flour ratio. Four traditional book-fold turns
produce the perfect flaky pastry.
Dufour Pastry Kitchens now operates from a modern facility in the Bronx, not far from Chefs’ Warehouse.
100% women owned, the employees are over 2/3 women and 75% Bronx residents. They have been awarded
the Certificate of Merit from the Bronx Borough President for their contribution to the economic development
of the Bronx. True to their roots, the creative team at Dufour continues to develop savory and sweet pastries
while producing the best available puff pastry, pie doughs and hand-crafted tart shells to encourage creativity
and innovation in every kitchen.

Delicious and Wholesome
Tortillas for every dish,
every taste, every occasion

Harbar was founded in Jamaica Plains, Massachusetts in 1986 by
cousins Maria and Ricardo, who were one of the first of their time in the
US to believe that the best tasting tortillas came from using natural
ingredients resulting in the cleanest recipe possible. Although the
company changed ownership during the years, Harbar has always
remained a heritage-rich, family business with a commitment to
delicious and wholesome tortillas, wraps and related products.
Our two production facilities are in Canton, MA and serve the 50 states
and 3 continents. Inspired by our traditional roots, we bake a large
family of products ranging from traditional corn and wheat tortillas to a
variety of better-for-you options like low carb, gluten free and grain
free, among others. Our products are offered under 3 brands: Maria
and Ricardo’s, Mayan Farm and Wrappy that serve the food service
segment.
After 35 years of operation, Harbar continues as a minority owned
business that is committed to innovation, quality and service. We are
passionate about our products and are always eager to share our
tortilla ‘goodness’ with our customers, partners and friends.

Nestled on the edge of a lush valley with the Alps standing proudly in the distance, Hero has its
humble beginnings in the small, picturesque town of Lenzburg, Switzerland. It was here where two
friends — Gustav Henckell and Carl Roth — joined forces to open up a local fruit and vegetable
conserve factory under the shadow of the Lenzburg Castle.
Founded in 1886, Hero has a long history of sharing nature’s bounty with the world. Henckell and
Roth captivated consumers by conserving the goodness they found in nature, and we pride ourselves
on continuing to carry that legacy into the future. We preserve fruit at its peak ripeness, which
transports consumers to the very instant in which the perfectly ripe produce was plucked fresh
from the orchard, meadow, or feld. This was the way it had always been done, and it is the way it
will always be done. We want to bring this heritage to today's consumers who share Hero’s love of
naturally good food.
Over the past 130 years, Hero has grown from the small Swiss factory into the premier producer
of Preserves, Fruit Spreads, Baking Jams, Gels, Glazes, Finishing Dessert Sauces, and Highly
Concentrated Fruit Paste Compounds. Hero services over 250 million customers in 30 countries,

Since the beginning of Les vergers Boiron, there was a passion for fruit.
The Boiron family, originally from the Ardèche region of France, started
a fruit trading company in 1942. A few years later, business took off and
the Boiron Frères company rapidly developed. It followed the move
from Les Halles in Paris to the Rungis market in 1969. Pierre Boiron, the
founder's son, then launched a major innovation. Dessert and pastry
chefs were looking for practical and consistent use of products all-year
round. The CEO of Les vergers Boiron then created a fruit processing
activity - heat-treated specifically to each fruit, then deep frozen - which
is the best technique still today to keep the flavor, texture and freshness
of the fruit intact. Professionals enthusiastically welcomed these
ready-to-use fruit purees.
In 2005, Alain Boiron, Pierre's son, took over at Les vergers Boiron and
in 2010, all the activities moved to an ultra-modern site in Valence,
Drôme. Today, there are over 50 flavors of frozen fruit purées available
all of which are 100% all-natural, GMO-free and have no preservatives,
additives, or thickening agents. Les vergers Boiron experts select only
the finest varieties of fruit from the best regions worldwide. Then these
fruits, harvested at maturity, undergo a unique blending technique
which guarantees product consistency throughout the seasons.
“76 years ago, my grandfather founded the company Boiron Frères SA.
As the inventors of frozen fruit puree, we have continued to innovate by
developing our range to support pastry chefs, cooks, and bartenders
from all over the world daily with excellent fruit solutions. Aware of
what a privilege it was to take charge of the company in 1990, I continue
the expansion of the business with passion. Based in the heart of the
orchards of Valence, France, the company now has a subsidiary in the
United States, an office in Hong Kong and shines alongside great chefs
in more than 80 countries. To have exceptional fruit solutions, you can
count on our unique expertise in blending and processing fruits, on the
producers who provide us with fruits of rare quality, on our network of
distributors around the globe and the women and men of the company
without whom nothing would be possible. From hors d’oeuvres to
dessert and drinks our fruit solutions guide your inspiration and release
your creativity. Let’s share fruit at its best together!” Alain Boiron,

honey & maple syrup products
McLure’s Honey and Maple Products is a quality-focused supplier of pure maple syrup,
maple sugar, honey, and honeycomb growing to national prominence from modest
New England roots.
Continuing a family tradition that dated back three generations to Civil War times,
George McLure produced and packed pure maple syrup in New Hampshire and
Vermont as a hobbyist. In 1976, when his son Dave came home to Littleton, NH after
serving in the Air Force, they formed a partnership and expanded into a family
business.
As excellence in product and service became a McLure’s distinction, a new plant was
built about 50 yards from the site of the original sugarhouse to support the growth. In
time, e‰orts were focused on packing maple syrup, sourcing high quality syrup from
the New England region and Canada. With a customer base valuing pure, natural
sweeteners, honey product lines became a successful addition.
In 1997, McLure’s Honey and Maple Products gained the backing of family-owned,
Women’s Business Enterprise, Dutch Gold Honey, Inc, based in Lancaster County, PA.
The company’s philanthropy arm, The Gamber Foundation, supports honey and maple
industry research and sustainability e‰orts as well as charities in the Littleton, NH and
Lancaster, PA communities.
Today, McLure's is an industry leading supplier and continues to operate in Littleton,
NH. They o‰er honey and maple products in branded, private label, and bulk
packaging formats.

Creative Beginnings…
Yann Machard was raised amid fne French cuisine, owing to the fact that several family members are French Chefs. While
surrounded by all of this glorious food, Yann loved practicing the fne arts of painting and sculpting. It was eventually suggested
by his family that pastry would be a wonderful way to express his artistic talents and desires and be in keeping with the family
tradition of fne cuisine. So…by integrating a passion for food and creativity, the family’s frst (and only) Pastry Chef was “born.”
In the beginning of his career as a Pastry Chef, Yann worked at and with some of the top names in French Pastry including
Lenotre, considered to be the best pastry shop in France.
Yann fourished in his art and decided to give America a taste of his creativity. He arrived in New York City in 1973, worked at
Dumas and with Chef Maurice Bonté. He then made his way to Denver, Colorado and began a six year run at Le Petit Gourmet
Catering, the premier caterer in Denver. He returned to New York as Pastry Chef for the world-famous Tavern on the Green
restaurant, delighting patrons for the next four years. However, during this time,
Yann saw an emerging need for quality, wholesale French Pastry as
fewer and fewer culinary students were choosing pastry.
58
Symphony Pastry Fills a Growing Industry Need…
Out of a desire to assist restaurant pastry chefs in providing quality French pastry to patrons, Yann opened Symphony Pastry.
He decided to inspire these chefs with the delicious foundations for their creative expression with his top-quality ingredients,
combined in mouthwatering and visually pleasing ways! The chefs could then creatively “fnish” these pastries and present them
to their patrons plated in extraordinary fashion.
Yann loves the creativity of his trade, and loves helping Pastry Chefs by bringing them to an even higher level. You’ll fnd only
the absolute best ingredients in Symphony Pastry products: imported chocolate with a minimum of 68% “cocoaliquor,” Tahitian
vanilla beans, imported fruit purées, heavy cream and pure butter.
Yann will also create custom pastry upon request -- if you can envision it and “taste” it, Yann will make it for you!
Let Yann be your personal Pastry Chef - he’s here to serve you and foster your creative best!

Imagining the best of chocolate since 1922
ALL VALRHONA CHOCOLATE IS 100% TRACEABLE
Over time, Valrhona’s sourcing team and producers have established special, long-term relationships
rooted in trust. It is thanks to these producers that Valrhona has been able to develop such a unique
spectrum of professional expertise and intense, distinctive favor profles within our product range.
To imagine the best of chocolate, we search the planet for the fnest cocoa. Our sourcing team selects the most unique cocoa
varieties worldwide and forges long-term relationships with producers. This collaboration allows us to constantly enrich our
understanding of cocoa, bringing innovations to each stage of the chocolate-making process so that we can promote aromatic
diversity in cocoa. The future of cocoa lies in commitments to sustainability and traceability, made alongside our cocoa producer
partners. We invest to improve the well-being of local cocoa producing communities, as well as in more sustainable cocoa growing
techniques through agroforestry and the Cacao Forest program.
LIVE LONG COCOA
Our two major ambitions are improving cocoa producers’ living
conditions and protecting the environment. Long-term partnerships,
traceability, community support projects, and actions to boost
producer income are just some of the ways we are working towards
this goal.
LIVE LONG ENVIRONMENT
Valrhona is committed to reaching carbon neutrality by 2025 for our
whole value chain from plantation to dinner plate. To meet these
goals, we work to minimize greenhouse gas emissions, offsetting our
remaing footprint through reforestation projects.
LIVE LONG GASTRONOMY
Gastronomy is part of Valrhona’s DNA, and the future of
gastronomy is sustainable development. We believe it is our
responsibility to guide professionals towards more sustainable
practices as they create a cuisine that is as meaningful as it is ethical,
and as innovative as it is memorable.
LIVE LONG TOGETHER
We are committed to helping producers and customers overcome
their challenges and creating a business where our people love to
work. This will only become a reality if we work together in a spirit of
coproduction – which is exactly how we imagine the best of chocolate.
NOW MADE WITH
SUNFLOWER
LECITHIN
Products containing lecithin
are now made with sunfower
instead of soy, for a more
sustainable Valrhona.
o Unlike sunfower, soy is a major allergen.
o Sunfower lecithin is more traceable, and
there is no risk of it containing GMOs.
o Sunfower seeds are available locally:
Sunfowers are grown throughout Europe
and the United States, and the lecithin is
produced stateside or in France.
o It's better for the environment than soy
lecithin: Growing sunfowers for lecithin
uses fewer chemicals.

The story of Villa Dolce begins with a dream to bring
Italy’s fnest gelato to the United States. Growing
up in Rome, the Marcaccini brothers spent their
summers on the Italian coast and sharing gelato with
friends and family was one of their favorite daily rituals.
Today, Villa Dolce wants to preserve that tradition by
bringing your customers those same shared moments
of joy and connection, through authentic, artisan
gelato made with the fnest ingredients sourced from
around the world.
“We started Villa Dolce not only because we
wanted to share a product that we loved, but
because we missed the Italian way of life. In
Italy, quality products and quality time together
are highly valued. Italians understand the
importance of truly connecting with each other.
And now that I have my own family, this is
more important to me than ever. I love that our
products are meant to be savored and shared.”
– Monte Marcaccini
Villa Dolce opened their doors in 2001 servicing
top tier restaurants and hotels in the Los Angeles
area. Top chefs quickly embraced their extraordinary
product, made fresh with natural ingredients.
In 2013, Villa Dolce purchased a state-of-the-art
manufacturing facility in Phoenix, Arizona, enabling
expansion of their national foodservice distribution.
We now craft over 40 favors of artisan gelato and
sorbetto in 5 liter pans for restaurants and gelato
shops, as well as a selection of favors in a single
serve 3.6 oz cups for delivery or “grab-n-go” service.
