Glitz and Glamour for All
ORO FINO’s Edible Gold Now Available to Consumers, Bakers, Mixologists and Restaurant Owners
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 7, 2005 -- NEI Group, Inc. is pleased to
introduce an exciting new product line into the Food and Beverage Industry – ORO
FINO – a uniquely produced and packaged line of 23 Karat Genuine Edible Gold
products – perfect for those who want to entertain with
style!
Embellishing food with Genuine Edible Gold is a centuries-old
tradition that originated in the East, where it served as a symbol of
hospitality and wealth. Gold on food and drink was considered a symbol of
respect to honor the presence of a special guest at your table.
Until
recently it was available only to the professionals. Now, with the use of the
cleverly designed and packaged shakers and boxes with bamboo tweezers, every
culinary devotee can easily and efficiently adorn food and beverage in their own
home.
For professionals the gilding process has just become much easier!
There are now options to the time-consuming single- sheet application, once
considered the industry “norm”. Now, using the shakers, the garnishing process
is streamlined. The box of petals with enclosed tweezers eliminates the “loss”
of excess gold while adding finishing touches to foods and cocktails.
Professionals can save time and money with the use of ORO FINO Genuine 23 Karat
Edible Gold. Chefs are hailing these products as a “breakthrough” for their
industry.
ORO FINO is imported from Italy and is available in three
forms: Coarsely Ground Powder (PAGLIUZZE) for dusting food and drink; Petals
(PETALI) perfect for strategically placing a piece of gold anywhere; and Gold
Leaf Sheets (FOGLETTI) suitable for complete coverage of a food
item.
Imagine…serving a champagne cocktail with the flute rimmed in gold,
or creamy soup with Petals dancing lightly in the center as a stunning garnish;
or, try laying a full sheet of gold on your next platter of Milanese Risotto.
The possibilities are simply endless and your guests will be amazed by your
golden-embellished creations.
Gold is actually an inert metal that simply
passes through the intestinal system. Alchemists of the 15th century used gold
medicinally. In Renaissance Venice, Italians actually served a sweet covered in
gold at the end of lunch in order to reinforce the health of their hearts.
The Elizabethans decorated their tables with piles of gold dusted
pomegranates, oranges and grapes. The Japanese artisans who gilded screens would
gather up all of their little gold skewings at the end of their work day, and
mix it into their sake. At a coffeehouse in the ancient Japanese capital city of
Nara, patrons can order what may well be the world’s priciest jolt of java, a
$350 cup of coffee made with Evian water that is heated in a gold kettle and
poured through freshly ground Jamaican Blue Mountain, then dusted with GOLD and
presented in a gold plated Royal Minton china cup! Today, all of this and more
can be transferred to our tables with much more ease.
