Bella Cucina Artful Food
“The essence of eating begins with artful food.” To be part of the daily ritual of eating simply, yet deliciously, is to be a part of a centuries-old art of living a beautiful life. It is accessible for all - enjoying good food and thoughtful conversation at the table. In the early nineties, Bella Cucina café in Atlanta was born. Customers kept asking for pestos to take home so they could enjoy the food at their own tables and thus, a specialty food business was born. Today Bella Cucina is an awarding winning food company who makes all products by hand in small batches using the highest quality farm-grown produce to honor the ancient Italian tradition that celebrates the art of food.

For your enjoyment, Cesto carries a variety of their artful pestos!

Originating a few years back out of their Northern California home, the first Cool Bean Mints were the confectionery brainchild of Elaine Hutchins and her husband Chris. It began as the two – along with their circle of like-minded bon vivants – enjoyed a charmed, pre-dotcom-bust lifestyle of fine wines, gourmet cooking, lively conversation and travels to Europe and beyond.

Determined to parlay their passion for life's finer things into something they could share with friends, Elaine and Chris began searching for a small boutique winery in Napa to handcraft single-barrel Cabernets. Unfortunately, they soon found themselves about $15 million short of the required price. So they got real, got in contact with a confectioner of note, and began pursuing another passion they all shared – chocolate. Specifically, gourmet mint chocolates blended with the finest ingredients. In short, an elegant line of mints that the serious host could serve proudly in a tasteful social setting. Or, for that matter, savor alone while dreaming about how enchanting it would be to throw a party with a tasteful social setting.

The overwhelming success of Cool Bean Mints soon led to the development of Cool Bean Mixers. Fruity and tangy, these addictive jellybeans are inspired by and named after celebrated cocktails from around the world including Sangria, Mojito, Cosmopolitan and Bellini.

Where next? Who knows. But we invite you to join us as we continue to christen cool new blends – and to drink from the sweet champagne flute of life. Cheers.

After extensive research, Too Good Gourmet was established by the mother-daughter team of Amie Watson and Jennifer Finley to create a line of cookies for children. What they soon learned, however, is that the market for cookies is primarily women -- giving to other women as little gifts, party favors, or in gift baskets.

Amie's background in art combined with Jennifer's retail experience provided the perfect foundation for this growing business. Together they create all of the recipes, design all of the box shapes and die cuts, and oversee the creative process in developing this award-winning product line. They work with a number of artists - including Amie herself - in creating the fabulous, eye-catching designs. The result of this hands-on approach can be seen in a line of products that taste as good as they look!

Cesto carries a variety of Too Good Gourmet dip, soup, dessert, side dish and bread mixes. They are “too good” to pass up!

Back in 1980, fresh out of college and penniless, Park Kerr had an idea - "I had two ladders and a nail-studded two-by-four covered with chile ristras. I think I bought them for 3 bucks in New Mexico and sold them for $15 in El Paso on a street corner." The message was clear - people were hungry for hot stuff.

By 1982, Park and his partner, mother Norma, were know as The El Paso Chile Company, and their hand-crafted chile wreaths and ristras graced the covers of the Neiman Marcus and Horchow Collection catalogs. In an attempt to develop a less seasonal business, they created their first gourmet food products with playful names like Snakebite Salsa, Sweet Texas Fire, and Hellfire & Damnation.

The El Paso Chile Company is synonymous with fun, interesting, original flavors and incredibly creative labels. "Food is fashion!" says Park, who's been called everything from "the Drew Carey of Salsa" to "the Martha Stewart of the Border." "Our customers are busy and food savvy - they want premium natural ingredients, big bold flavors and open-and-eat convenience." Kerr's frequent trips around the world, to seek out new tastes and trends, have kept product development at a brisk pace. And quality counts - family members still oversee the production of every batch of hand-made salsas and artisan foods. Today, Sean oversees operations as President and CFO, Park does whatever he wants to, Monica is personnel director and manages the retail division, while co-founder Norma continues to supply philosophical inspiration.

Remember the El Paso Chile Company rule of thumb: You can never go wrong consuming from the three food groups - Salsa, Snacks, and Margaritas!
