When
I was growing up, my family lived near my Uncle Noland’s Dairy Farm. I loved
going to watch his dairy in action … all of the sights, sounds and smells. I
particularly liked watching my Aunt Millie make butter. I will never forget how
she took all of the fresh cream and churned it for a long time until it was
thick and creamy. When she put that butter on the table it almost had an aura
about it. When it hit my mouth with one of her fresh biscuits, I was truly
transported. We’re talking mouth-watering good!
I am happy to announce that Cornucopia has developed its very
own butter. It has all of that fresh, mouth-watering goodness I used to know and
MORE! With this Cornucopia exclusive, our butter is between 82% and 83%
butterfat and made in the tradition of the fine French butters.
Brian Jens headed up our development of this product. We have tasted and
tested for months to find just the right combination of flavor and consistency.
We have sent samples out to some of our customers and everyone is very
enthusiastic. When we were doing our testing, we noticed how clean the butter
clarified. There was very little residual milk solids remaining. Obviously, we
are very excited about this new product and we are eager to see your reaction as
well. We think you will be as excited as we are. And the best news of all is
that we will save you money over the other leading brands!

Update: Vanilla Prices
If you have purchased vanilla beans or our own fabulous Frazier's
Vanilla Extract, you know the sticker shock of vanilla. You may be wondering
how long the misery will last. The answer may disappoint you. Overseas market
analysts predict a long slow recovery. (Sounds like the stock market!)
Much of the 2000 crop arriving now has been very poor,
testing at some of the lowest levels ever seen.
Fortunately, we were able to purchase superior product from
pervious crops that maintains the high standards we required for our extract.
The 2001 vanilla crop now being cured in Madagascar should
improve. Not only was the entire vanilla crop destroyed but so were the several
years supply stored in nearby facilities. It takes approximately 3 years to grow
a new plant to harvest.
