Bay Area’s Award-Winning Silver
Moon Desserts Unveils Two New Retail Flavors at NASFT
Winter Fancy Food Show January 17-19, 2010
Artisan Spirits-Infused
Ice Cream Creator, Lauded Nationally for Excellence, Innovation and Quality, brings
Real Bourbon Vanilla Bean and Lavender Limoncello to Dessert
Lovers
SAN JOSE, CA – January
18, 2010 – Silver Moon Desserts, creator of luxurious ice creams and sorbets
infused with high-end liqueurs, will launch two new retail flavors at this
year’s National Association Specialty Food Trade (NASFT) Fancy Food Show in San
Francisco next week.
New flavors are Real Bourbon
Vanilla Bean, a creamy, classic vanilla made with Tennessee Bourbon and real
vanilla beans, and Lavender Limoncello, a luscious
lavender infused lemon sorbet with Limoncello liqueur.
Food writers and
bloggers are invited to visit Silver Moon Dessert’s Booth 304 at the Moscone Center for tastings of its chic desserts. All of Silver Moon’s ice
creams and sorbets are made from fresh, natural ingredients, Real California
Milk, and sophisticated liqueurs. NASFT, the nation’s
specialty food industry flagship organization, bestowed a coveted
2009 Silver Award to Silver Moon Desserts for Outstanding Product Line,
while the influential trade publication The Nibble gave the
California company its 2009 Silver Award for excellence and innovation.
The new retail flavors, formerly
only available to the food industry, including San Francisco country clubs,
restaurants and hotels, sold online, will be on the shelves of high-end markets
across Northern California by March 2010. “The enthusiastic response from
caterers and chefs persuaded us to bring these flavors to the retail line,”
said Sheri Tate, Silver Moon Desserts President. “They tell us the Real Bourbon
Vanilla Bean and Lavender Limoncello are consistently popular menu items because of the pure,
superb flavor profile and sophisticated touch of liqueur.”
The new flavors join
the original retail lineup of Praline Irish Cream, Crème de Mint Chip, Coffee with Brownie Bits, Orange Creamsicle,
Mango Mimosa, Strawberry Daiquiri, Mojito Ice, and
Pomegranate Martini.
“We use Silver Moon
Desserts’ Mojito Ice sorbet as a refreshing yet
unique intermezzo. Our members enjoy the unexpected pleasure of this icy
treat,” said Craig Walsh, Executive Sous Chef, St. Francis Yacht Club.
Silver Moon President
and CEO Sheri Tate is available for on-site and
phone/email interviews (contact Angela James, angela@mediaOWLS.com or 408-358-7898).
Tate spent 12 years in Silicon Valley’s high-tech industry before launching her
career as an artisanal ice cream creator in 2008. She started making
hand-cranked ice cream as a hobby, with flavors inspired by memories of her
mother’s dessert recipes. The response from friends and family – “the best ice
cream they ever tasted“ – fueled her leap from tech to gourmet. Silver Moon
Desserts are available at Bay Area restaurants, hotels, country clubs and
specialty food markets and on line at www.SilverMoonDesserts.com.
