Kern Tec is an Austrian processor of fruit pits - especially of stone fruits such as apricot, plum and cherry. Inspired by agriculture and circular economy in Europe, fruit pits are a waste product - as for example in the juice industry. However, these largely undiscovered resources have a great potential because of their valuable ingredients. At Kern Tec, they are gently washed, dried and then separated into seeds and shells in order to unfold their maximum potential. Through continuous innovation, we are able to maintain our philosophy of zero waste. Our sustainable products are not only beneficial to the environment, but above all to our customers, who can rely on the highest quality and innovative products.

We only use carefully selected raw materials from fruit growers and processing companies. With our partly energy self-sufficient production, we are able to create regional products for the first time and thus bring a meaningful added value from which everyone along the value chain benefits.

The BelGioioso story began over a century ago when the great-grandfather of BelGioioso President, Errico Auricchio, founded a cheese company based on a philosophy of excellence. In 1979, Errico moved his family from Italy to America with the goal of continuing his great-grandfather’s legacy. He wanted to craft the best Italian cheeses in the United States.

When Errico came to America, he scoured the United States in search of the highest quality milk to begin his goal of making exceptional specialty cheeses. It was in Wisconsin, “America’s Dairyland”, that he found the dedicated farmers and abundant green pastures and corn fields that produce superior milk. Wisconsin milk was and still is simply unbeatable.

In addition to his immediate family, Errico also brought with him two master cheesemakers, Mauro and Gianni. To these gentlemen, making cheese isn’t a job, it’s a calling. They carry with them a strict focus on quality and an unending passion for crafting flavorful cheeses using artisan methods. Mauro & Gianni remain part of the BelGioioso family today and work tirelessly to share their wisdom with each new generation of cheesemakers.

Together, Errico, Mauro & Gianni began by making cheeses familiar to American consumers such as Provolone, Parmesan and Romano. Soon, consumers wanted more; new cheeses, new flavors and new aromas. Over time, we introduced cheeses previously unknown in America. Mascarpone, CreamyGorg®, Italico® and American Grana® have now become favorites. Today, BelGioioso manufactures, ages, packages and ships over twenty five varieties of specialty cheese with new cheeses continuously in development.

BelGioioso’s commitment to tradition and excellence carries with it the value of knowing how to make Italian cheeses just as they were long ago from recipes passed down by generations. As the company has grown, the passion for tradition and quality has never diminished.

Tradition, selection of ingredients, location and artisan inspiration are cardinal pillars that make BelGioioso cheesemakers the greatest interpreters of the best Italian cheeses in the US.

Olive powder is produced from semi-defatted and de-stoned olives and is the latest innovation in olive Products in the World. The manufacturing process is non-destructive and preserves the natural nutraceutical compounds in the olives. Olive powder is the authentic “olive alternative” and is made from 100% olive fruit.

Olive powder contains high percentages of nutraceutically active compounds such as antioxidants. These include, oleic acid, polyphenols, tocopherols, chlorophylls and squalene, which are beneficial for human health.

Olive powder can be used as a natural ingredient in many food applications, including bread, pasta and soups. Addition of olive powder improves the functional and sensory properties of the food. Furthermore, olive powder is rich in antioxidants, which help prevent cancer and reduce oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL), implicated in the development of cardiovascular disease. Olive powder contains a high percentage of dietary fiber, which can benefit the human digestive system.

It is highly likely that olive powder will become a staple bulk ingredient because it is a “wellness” ingredient and it has an excellent consumer image of olives.
