One for One Brand, For the Grainer Good, Announces Partnership with United Food Bank to Help End Hunger in Arizona
by BWW News Desk - December 19, 2019
For the Grainer Good the one for one give-back arm of Scottsdale-based Northerly Farms, recently announced their partnership with United Food Bank. Through an innovative climb-and-give program, Northerly's CEO, Clayton B. R. Wolfe, is set to donate over 142,000 servings of food to hunger relief organizations across North America. United Food Bank, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, has provided hunger relief in eastern Arizona for 35 years. Working with over 220 partner agencies, they serve more than 228,000 people in need. In 2018, United Food Bank distributed almost 24 million pounds of food, providing nearly 19.5 million meals to the community. Arizona ranks 12th in the nation for food insecurity and 6th in the country for children who are food insecure. One out of every five Arizona residents struggles with hunger. For the Grainer Good plans to donate Northerly rolled oats, providing farm-grown, minimally-processed grains to thousands of families in need. 'It's my hope that by partnering with United Food Bank, we'll be able to expand our reach and raise even more awareness about hunger in North America,' Wolfe says of the new partnership. The partnership comes just months before Wolfe's anticipated summit of Mount Everest. As the world's tallest mountain in terms of both altitude and height, the successful summit will raise the total amount of oats to be donated to For the Grainer Good's hunger relief partners to 88,253 servings. About For the Grainer Good For the Grainer Good partners with food banks, soup kitchens, and other charitable organizations to raise awareness and donations to help end hunger in the U.S. and Canada.

CEQ Italia and QvExtra! International Join Forces to Raise the Quality and Awareness of Fine European Olive Oil
by BWW News Desk - December 06, 2019
Most Americans already love extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) for its flavor and versatility. But not all of them are aware of the range of flavors and quality that extra virgin olive oils can possess, based on how its produced and stored, the varietal of olives or where it originates. They may not know how to distinguish the best quality extra virgin olive oils (especially in an ordinary grocery store) or the best way to cook with it. And above all, they may not know what they are missing. Two non-profit consortia, passionately dedicated to raising the standards of extra virgin olive oil produced in Spain and Italy respectively, QVExtra! International and CEQ Italia, have joined forces in a special campaign to share this knowledge with chefs and consumers in the U.S. Spain and Italy - two of the best-known producers of high-quality extra virgin olive oil - share a vast storehouse of knowledge about what makes great olive oil, and how to make it even better. The initiative is financed with aid from the European Union, which supports ventures that promote high quality agricultural products. The friendly competition between members of the European Union and the producers, pushes all members to continue to improve and raise their standards. As part of their mission, they also educate culinary professionals and consumers about production and authenticity through a series of lectures, demonstrations and tastings. This year, in a series of seminars in Boston, Providence, and New York, olive oil experts from the EU will discuss production methods and standards, benefits and the role of extra virgin olive oil in the Mediterranean diet, key elements in determining quality, how terroir influences flavor profiles, and how to cook with EVOO. Depending on the variety, the extra virgin olive oil has its own distinct character - fruity or aromatic, sweet or bitter, with differing intensity of the spicy aftertaste. These extra virgin olive oils all have their own nuances, contrasts and flavors, but what they have in common is that their production has been closely controlled - from the flower to the bottle - with the main aim of providing the highest possible quality. Expert growers and brands are: Alfonso Fernández López from Spain, Natalia Ravida from Italy, and Luigi Caricato, oleologist, journalist and director of OOF international magazine. There will also be cooking demonstrations as part of these seminars: Italian American Chef Marisa Iocco; Marisa Iocco's 'doing more with less' approach - emphasized by fresh, seasonal ingredients showcasing her Italian culinary techniques - has distinguished her as one of the country's foremost proponents of authentic yet playful cucina Italiana. Marisa has consulted for a constellation of restaurant owners in addition to running her own successful eateries: Esquire magazine named both her La Bettola and Mare of one of the 'Top Ten Restaurants in America,' while Conde Nast Traveler named Mare 'One of the Top 80 Places in the World to Eat.' Her work has been honored by the Accademia Cucina Italiana (named one of the best Italian chefs in America). In October 2017, she received the award for 'Distinguished Culinary Arts.' Her menu mastery dazzles at Spiga restaurant where she is executive chef and owner. Chef Marisa's first book is 'Every Menu is a Love Story - Ecco Perché Amore.' Also cooking is Córdoba's premier chef, Periko Ortega. He & his dining destination restaurant ReComiendo, are multi award-winners, named one of the six best restaurants in Spain by the Travelers Choice Award and ranked one of the 25 best in the world, according to the Travelers Choice awards of Tripadvisor, as well as a Gold Medal for Excellence winner. Ortega has collaborated on several haute cuisine books, including Córdoba on the Table, Flowers and Flavors of Andalusia. The seminars will be interactive: culinary students and industry professionals will have the opportunity to taste different EVOOs, taste dishes that the chefs prepare, and ask questions. Activities for attendees will include developing, implementing and discussing their own recipes. In addition, they will be asked to complete a true/false questionnaire to evaluate their knowledge of basic facts before and after the training. The seminars will be held at leading Culinary Schools. In some locations, the agenda will include a special dinner.
