Pizza Bianca. This one might fool you too…it’s 100% #vegan and non-dairy! Homemade fresh cashew mozzarella w handcrafted cashew-tofu ricotta, loads of garlic, sauteed spinach & EVOO. Melts just like mozzarella. And captures a nice dairy flavor. Tossed and dressed by rising star: Chef @JayAstafa.

Combination Bruegger’s Bagels and Jamba Juice

via BakeMag

Bruegger's Bagels and Jamba Juice are joining forces to open nine co-branded stores in the Midwest, East Coast and New England.

The partnership will launch in September to bring the best of both brands together with greater convenience. Guests can enjoy Bruegger's Bagels' fresh-baked bagels, Vermont cream cheese, premium coffee, sandwiches, soups and salads along with freshly squeezed juices, signature smoothies and protein bowls from Jamba Juice, all under one roof.

"We tested our unique partnership with Jamba Juice last fall at our first co-branded location in Storrs Center, near the University of Connecticut campus, and it was an immediate hit," said Bruegger's Bagels President Paul Carolan. "It became clear that our brands complement each other very well with our mutual focus on freshness and authenticity, and that this partnership offers a way for both brands to extend their reach."

Celebrate Specialty Food. Craft. Care. Joy.

The Specialty Food Association is launching its first-ever ad campaign and retail test designed to build consumer awareness and engagement with specialty food.  The theme is "Celebrate Specialty Food. Craft. Care. Joy."

The tests come as sales of specialty food have topped $100 billion for the first time and continue to climb, and as industry growth far outpaces that of conventional food.

"Consumers want the very best from the food they buy. They want distinctive products they trust made by people who care," says Ann Daw, president of the Specialty Food Association. "Now is the moment for specialty food."

The brand "Specialty Food. Craft. Care. Joy.," first launched by the Association two years ago with an industry-only marketing campaign, serves to define specialty food as a category and the myriad products within it, from chocolate, cheese and olive oil to savory snacks.

The consumer effort has two key elements: a retail test in New York and New Jersey, and a multi-faceted ad campaign in New York featuring four specialty food makers who share the stories behind their products.
