ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., January 7, 2010 —The
American Culinary Federation (ACF), the nation’s
premier organization for professional chefs and
cooks, has awarded B&G Foods with its prestigious
ACF Seal of Approval for eleven of its Regina brand
vinegars and cooking wines. The Regina products were
submitted for extensive testing and were approved by
ACF’s Seal of Approval Committee.
James Taylor, CEC, AAC, MBA, who was chair of the
committee at the time of the products’ testing,
applied the organization’s rigorous testing criteria
to all of B&G Foods’ Regina vinegars and cooking
wines, evaluating for application, physical
properties, performance and accuracy of labels and
marketing materials.
“These products worked very well in all applications
and adapted well to new uses,” Taylor said. “Our
team of chef evaluators agreed that the Regina
products passed all necessary criteria, and we are
proud to present them with the ACF Seal of
Approval.”
“B&G Foods is thrilled for our Regina vinegars and
cooking wines to receive the ACF Seal of Approval,”
said Brandi Unchester, director of marketing for the
Regina brand. “B&G Foods understands the importance
quality ingredients play in meal preparation. We
have always strived to provide premium products to
professional and at-home chefs alike. With the ACF
Seal of Approval, the most discriminating users know
they can trust Regina.”
The Regina line includes wine vinegars, balsamic
vinegars and cooking wines. Regina’s wine vinegars,
available in red, white, and new Velvet flavor, are
made from a unique blend of fine wines, giving them
a distinct, complex flavor. They can be found in
supermarkets and restaurants across the United
States.
Regina balsamic vinegars are aged in wooden casks
and imported from Modena, Italy. They are available
in traditional and raspberry flavors. Regina
balsamics add full-bodied flavor to salads,
marinades, sauces and other favorite recipes.
Cooking with wine is a long-standing technique used
by gourmets. Regina cooking wines add a
subtle, elegant flavor to everything from meats,
poultry and fish to stews, marinades, dressings and
bastes. Regina offers cooking wines in sherry,
burgundy and sauterne varieties.
