LarryH — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 00:54:07 +0000

We are excited to offer Acqua Smeraldina Artesian Water and Victoria’s Kitchen Almond Water to our offerings. Smeraldina is not just water. It’s artesian water coming since 1985 from a nearly 1000 feet deep natural aquifer.

The purity of the water is uncontaminated and removed from any source of environmental pollution. The granite rocks of Gallura through which the Smeraldina water runs enriches it with minerals, imparting the final touches to bring it to its perfection of quality.Sardinia, an Italian island located in the center of the Mediterranean Sea, with a very low population and removed from the main sources of environmental pollution of the mainland. Smeraldina starts its journey in a pristine region at almost 1000 feet under the Mountain of God, after being naturally filtered for hundreds of years by granite rocks, typical of this area.

Light and smooth, Smeraldina Natural Artesian water is extracted cold (15° C) and its mineral composition qualifies it as a chloride rich alkaline water, where the chlorides prevail over the bicarbonates and sulphates in an ideal perfect balance between sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium.

Originally from France, Victoria’s Kitchen Almond Water is a grandmother’s recipe prepared in respect to the traditional technique of creating almond water. Victoria’s Kitchen is made with 100% natural ingredients, No artificial flavors or colors, pure cane sugar and 100% pure Grandma love.

Smeraldina is a natural Artesian water from Sardinia, an island in the center of the Mediterranean Sea. Acqua Smeraldina begins its journey on this island where the absence of environmental pollution and low population make it one of the most pristine regions of the world. The water comes from an artesian aquifer almost 1000ft under the “Mountain of God” and the natural filtration provided by the granite rock allows for a natural balance of dissolved minerals.

Numerous doctors and experts recommend Smeraldina Natural Artesian water for its perfect balance of sodium, chlorides, and bicarbonates, which help to correctly maintain arterial blood pressure.

Hey Ginger, why don’t you come over and see me sometime?

LarryH — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 00:32:25 +0000

We’ve added Fresh Ginger Ale to our line-up. This is a great product in three flavors with real Ginger and all natural ingredients. Here’s a recent article from the San Francisco Chronicle about Bruce Cost, a Bay Area restauranteur, that profiles this unique product.

Bruce Cost wrote “Ginger East to West”, a small, award-winning cookbook that traced ginger’s origins and its journey around the world. In it he tells the origins of ginger ale. Later he introduced his own herbal version to patrons of his Monsoon restaurant in San Francisco. In no time, minus the herbs, it became a staple of Cost’s Ginger Island in Berkeley and Ginger Club in Palo Alto, California.

In 1995, Mr. Cost moved to Chicago to start the Big Bowl and Wow Bao restaurants with Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises, and brought his recipe for fresh ginger ale. Handmade on the premises of 11 restaurants, it became a signature item that has since sold an estimated 3 million drinks, outselling all soft drinks.

Bruce is one of the nation’s leading authorities on Asian Food. and was called by Alice Waters in her introduction to Cost’s book on Asian Ingredients, “One of the greatest cooks I have ever known.”

Fresh Ginger Ale

LarryH — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 21:18:44 +0000

What is this stuff?!

Unique among ginger ales on the market, we call this “Fresh Ginger, Ginger Ale,” because it’s made with only fresh ginger {no extracts. no oils!} and pure cane sugar. Regardless of which flavor you choose, Fresh starts with this deliciously simple formula. Unfiltered and rich with ginger particles (you must shake it slightly before pouring) you’ll notice it has the “mouth feel” of a light beer or wine.

Along with refreshment, it also provides iron, calcium and a even vitamin A and C. Enjoy!

6/4packs per case

Flavors

Original Ginger: Made with only fresh ginger (no extracts or oils) and pure cane sugar, this is a fundamentally simple and delicious, spicy beverage. Unfiltered—the ginger particles settle as it sits— it is the natural pale yellow-green color of fresh ginger.
Jasmine Green Tea: Our most unusual ginger ale, perfumed with jasmine flowers and earthy with tannins, we infuse this with a fine, whole leaf green jasmine tea from Taiwan. Unique among soft drinks, this seems to improve with age and has our most passionate followers.
Pomegranate: To the fresh ginger and cane sugar of the Original, we added two popular antioxidants, Pomegranate and Hibiscus, rendering it a natural ruby red. Less spicy with a subtle lemon and floral dimension, this vies for most popular in our line.

Unfiltered
..and natural – because this product is unfiltered and because we have done nothing to bind it with gums or stabilizers, there are ginger particles that separate in the bottle as it sits. Simply turning it gently upside down a couple of times will re-mix it.

Medicinal
Using the whole fresh root, we can better capture the health benefits of ginger which is thought to:

Alleviate Nausea – often taken for motion sickness and morning sickness in modern times, ginger historically was used by Chinese sailors to combat seasickness and scurvy caused by vitamin C deficiency.

Help Digestion – besides its great taste, its longtime culinary use in Asia stems from its ability to calm the stomach and attack toxins in food that might cause stomach upset or illness.

Fight Colds – In ancient China, ginger was known as “plant that dispels dampness and wind” meaning its warming and cleansing qualities fought the effects of the common cold.

Miscellaneous – also, written of as important to women’s health, warming when applied externally to relieve aches and pains, and as a mild aphrodisiac.

Nutrition – we also found that by leaving our beverage unfiltered, unlike other ginger sodas, ours contains 2 mg of iron (about the same as a cup of leafy green vegetables), some calcium and vitamins A and C.
