BARHYTE ADDS MORE HAWAIIAN FLAVORS TO LINEUP

Company Adds Island Sesame Ginger Dressing to Popular Tropical Sauce Collection

Pendleton, OR – (April 22, 2008)– Barhyte Specialty Foods is celebrating its successful relationship with Portland, Ore.-based NoHo’s Hawaiian Café by introducing a new sauce to its popular collection. The company’s new Island Sesame Ginger Dressing is a bright, flexible addition to a lineup that currently includes Sweet Chili Sauce, Teriyaki Sauce, Coconut Sauce, and Sweet Chili-yaki Sauce.

Barhyte Specialty Foods first released the NoHo’s Hawaiian Café sauces in late 2007 through a private-label relationship with the restaurant. The sauces have been hot sellers through the Cafés located in Portland, Beaverton, Eugene, Medford, and Ketchum, Idaho; as well as through national specialty food stores and online.

As with the first release, this new flavor resulted through the combined efforts of Suzie “Saucy Mama” Barhyte and NoHo himself – an Oregon “local boy” of Hawaiian, Portuguese, and Italian descent. The new Island Sesame Ginger Dressing recipe was based on a tropical recipe passed to NoHo through his family, and updated to make it a versatile addition for fish, chicken, stir fry, and salads, to name a few.

“Tropical flavors are complex, and bring a sunny, refreshing experience to the palate,” explains Suzie Barhyte. “We took great aim to strike the right combination of flavors to bring an unexpected depth to its finish, while still having it fit in seamlessly between the creamy mouth-feel of the Coconut sauce, and the tangy zip of the Chili-yaki.”

Like its predecessors, the new NoHo’s Hawaiian Café Island Sesame Ginger Dressing (MSRP: $4.99) will be sold in 12-oz. glass jars through the restaurants, as well as through specialty gourmet shops and online retailers nationwide.
