New York 4th Annual Vegetarian Food Festival

We would like to invite you at New York City's 4th annual Vegetarian Food Festival on March 1st & 2nd 2014, 11am-6pm.  Drop by at Booth #59 - tasting all organic products and USDA Organic Truffle Vegannaise.

Truffle Trick - Truffled fondue

So last weekend we truffled fondue, tortellini in brodo and for a finale our friends Jennifer and Hans' farm fresh eggs (you met them at white truffle class).

While not as visually stunning as slices of black truffle showing all the "marbling" or "veins" (or what do you call it in truffle speak?) we found that using a coarse micro plane really opened up the truffle flavor and it cooked just perfectly when added atop the sunny side up egg just before coming out of the skillet.

Extra Virgin Suicide
The Adulteration of Italian Olive Oil
by Nicholas Blechman

I hope everyone saw this in the NY Times Sunday paper last week, if you didn't please see this post and if you would like to learn more about our USDA Certified Organic small batch Organic Evoo, I can send you information.

Pizza a Casa | Pizza School NYC

"Mark Bello perfected the pizza, then built Pizza a Casa Pizza School, teaching pizza-crazed New Yorkers how to do it themselves. Last year The Village Voice declared Mark's pizza one of the three best in New York City. And it is sensational: a thin, crisp crust paved with the ideal balance of cheese and sauce, finished with fresh basil and a drizzle of top-grade olive oil. But you can't buy it. You have to make it. And this in a city with more than 1,800 pizzerias." — Regina Schrambling, Entrepreneur Magazine

Simply translated from Italian "pizza a casa” means "pizza at home". But it's so much more than that — it's a social happening that brings people closer together, united in the love of creating and sharing good food. At Pizza a Casa Pizza School, fostering this spirit of culinary camaraderie has been our mission since day one. Our school attracts pizza lovers from around the globe, all of them seeking the secrets of pizza-making perfection — no pizzeria oven requried. The proof is unbelieveable pizzas that our students create (and devour!) in our totally hands-on classroom, equipped entirely with home ovens. Our 10,000+ graduates agree, learning to make pizza the Pizza a Casa way is a fun, unique and totally unforgettable experience. It’s an experience that leads to a lifetime of incredible “pizza a casa” that will have friends and family amazed and the local pizzeria wondering where everyone has gone...

"Given that the city has of late been beset with a surplus of high-end pizzerias, it's easy to forget that the best pizzas don't necessarily require a wood-burning oven imported from Naples. And that's why the pies that Mark Bello teaches his students to make at Pizza a Casa Pizza School are such a revelation. Bello doesn't use fancy ingredients-think Fleischmann's yeast and AP flour-or a fancy oven (it's set at an attainable 500F), but the crusts that he conjures up are as crisp, chewy, and delicately charred as anything served at a restaurant. The toppings are applied with expert balance and minimal fuss, and the best part is that you can easily make it at home. Power to the people." — Rebecca Marx, The Village Voice

Mark Bello, founder of Pizza a Casa Pizza School, is a tour-de-force of creativity and energy, sharing his knowledge and love of pizza with unpretentious ease. Born in NYC and raised on the famous thin crust pizzas native to his NY and NJ upbringing, Mark’s passion for pizza was put to the test while earning his MFA in Sculpture from The School of The Art Institute of Chicago.

Far from home and in a land of deep-dish and dismal fast-food pizzas, he vowed to feed his need for the pizzas of his youth, so he took to his kitchen and endeavored to create a recipe for perfect pizza baked in a home oven. After a decade-plus of refinement, including a period of living, eating and cooking in Italy, Mark returned to his East Coast roots and established Pizza a Casa as a “nomadic” pizza educational company. For five years he taught at venues in NYC including the Astor Center, Whole Foods Culinary Center, Murray's Cheese and, most notably, his 5th floor walk-up in lower Manhattan. Many a weekend Mark's apartment morphed into a pop-up pizza school. Interest in Mark’s classes steadily increased through word-of-mouth, the press and online buzz. It became clear it was time to create a dedicated space to share the pizza-making magic full time.

In the spring of 2010, Mark and his wife Jenny opened Pizza a Casa Pizza School on New York City’s historic Lower East Side. Thousands of students later, and tens of thousands of pizzas made, the school is running seven days a week with public classes and private events.

Mark’s pizza and talent for sharing his expertise has been praised by the press with features in Food & Wine, Epicurious, Entrepreneur, Tasting Table, and as a repeat guest on Martha Stewart Living Radio. Mark has also had the distinction of being a presenter for the Chefs@Google series, and performing a sold-out solo event at The James Beard House. Mark was also recently named Pizza Expert in the Food & Wine Masters Series.

Now with the launch of Mark's innovative app DIY Pizza Pie, all the pizza-making magic is captured in a dynamic cookbook format that's a must-have for iPad packing pizza-makers everywhere. Viva la pizza!

“Mark— we are pleased to count you as a member of the Beard family. Thank you for a truly awesome workshop. You are a rock star!” - Izabela Wojcik, Director of House Programming, The James Beard Foundation

FALL 2013: Pizza a Casa Pizza School is pleased to announce its DIY Pizza Pie app for the iPad. DIY Pizza Pie is an 8-chapter dynamic cookbook, chock full of pizza-making wisdom presented in an innovative text/video and illustrated format.

ABOUT THE TRUFFLES
Rosario Safina says: “It takes a very long time for a truffle to grow, and the environment is extremely important. Thus, the truffle is a very difficult yet ideal specimen. We work with a small group of local truffle hunters in Italy who respect the land and hunt for wild fresh white truffles that have a rich, pungent aroma that makes food and wine sing.  This is what we will be sharing at Pizza a Casa Pizza School for the most amazing pizza experience ever."

ABOUT THE WINES
Mark Fornatale had this to say: "Few have ever tasted a more divine pairing than the intoxicating perfume of fresh white truffle with subtle, sexy aromas of the Nebbiolo grape, the variety that makes up Italy’s most proud, profound and perfect wines, Barolo and Barbaresco… Join us …"

daRosario Organic Truffle Products Fuels Expansion in 2013

Searching for Independent Food Service Broker

BROOKLYN, N.Y. – June 19, 2013 – Da Rosario, the country’s only line of USDA 100% organic truffle products, today announced several major initiatives designed to expand the company’s capabilities, product offering and availability.

 

In response to rising demand for its products, da Rosario Organics has opened its own production facility at the Organic Food Incubator in Long Island City, NY. The new facility produces all of the brand’s USDA 100% organic truffle products and bottles its small family farm USDA organic extra virgin olive oils. The company is also introducing new and updated truffle products, including new sizes and lower prices on its USDA organic fresh truffle mayonnaise. da Rosario is the only certified USDA Organic Truffle company in the world. All of their items are USDA 100% Organic and for tri –state accounts we are LOCAL and will have the “Made in NYC” logo on the label also as we redesign our labels shortly.

 

“Since we invented the process of making real truffle products that were certifed USDA 100% organic, our business has grown 500% since 2009,” says Rosario Safina, founder of da Rosario Organics. “Now that we have the increased production capacity, in 2013 we’ll expand our presence in markets to Florida, Midwest and West Coast.”

 

Restaurants, hotels and caterers want to use real truffle products they just have to know who we are and try our products. The market is quite large with many upscale and mid price restaurants using over 75 million dollars a year of truffle products and 99% of them are just artificially flavored. And as the market expands into more mid priced eateries like burger restaurants, pizza restaurants and into healthy/natural food restaurant we are in the perfect place right now.

 

We are looking for independent brokers that already rep lines that go into the above mentioned markets. We pay very high commissions – 15-25% depending on the product and the territory is wide open. We want to add brokers on the West Coast, FL, Midwest, FL, Mid Atlantic. We have good coverage in the NY tristate area and New England, but we can always turn these accounts over to someone that can bring more sales to the table.

 

What type of lines would this person have that would make them successful and compatible with our line? Natural/organic/high quality center of the plate proteins; high end grocery items, charcuterie, organic fruits and vegetables.
