New food service items from Highland Market, Columbus Craft Meats, McNairn and More

This week we added long-grain white rice, charcuterie meats, takeout sub bags and more.

New this week from Highland Market Premium, we added long-grain parbroiled white rice. The parboiled rice cooks separately, stays fluffy without sticking, and holds for hours without clumping or sticking. From Tyson, we received uncooked chicken fritters in a crunchy hot and spicy breading. Each fritter is made with boneless chicken breast tenderloins and seasoned with a spicy kick. Serve them with your customers’ favorite dipping sauces, on sandwiches, or on salads. We also added 10-12 ounce haddock fillets from Icelandic Seafood. This sweet, mild fish menu favorite is both versatile and delicious, from Fish N Chips to starring in your finest dish.

For your charcuterie needs, we added a variety of new specialty meats from Columbus Craft Meats. All meats are made authentically from traditional recipes that bring out the bold, unique flavors inside premium cuts of meat. Choose from pancetta, prosciutto, hot coppa, salami and more! The Columbus pancetta has whole pork belly lightly spiced with mild seasoning, then hand-rolled and tied. After that, it’s dry-cured and aged naturally—giving it its intense flavor. The pancetta is sold sliced as well as diced, achieving whatever preference or visual effect you desire. The prosciutto has the highest quality, fresh hams, hand-rubbed with a hint of salt, and air dried. Once they’re cured, the final product is a lean prosciutto that pairs well with other foods. The hot coppa is closely-trimmed pork shoulder rubbed with crushed red pepper flakes and paprika, then slow-aged and air-dried for at least 45 days for full tenderness and fragrance with a spicy finish.

The Columbus Italian salami has Select cuts of pork, cracked black pepper, a signature blend of spices, and burgundy wine gives this salami a unique richness and aroma. It is then aged for up to 33 days, and has a nice bite from the slow curing. The peppered salami stick is hand-rolled Italian dry—mild and sweet—salami in freshly cracked black peppercorns. A spicy bite followed by the true flavor of original Salame, aged up to 55 days.

If you’re looking to try a variety of specialty meats, or would like to offer a variety for your menu, choose from our sampler and trio options!
