Louisiana Food Company Announces Its New "The Quarter's" Pasta Sauce

Company's First Sauce Product to Reach Shelves Early Fourth Quarter

Press Release Source: Louisiana Food Company On Wednesday September 21, 2011, 5:00 pm EDT
BATON ROUGE, La., Sept. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Louisiana Food Company (OTCBB:LUSI.ob - News), a purveyor of "Certified" Louisiana specialty food products, today introduced the first of its fresh sauce product line, an Italian marinara-style red pasta sauce.  LUSI's sauce products will be marketed under the company's "The Quarter's" brand name, in a tribute to the French Quarter of New Orleans and its proud culinary history.  LUSI plans to make the first deliveries of its The Quarter's Pasta Sauce early in the fourth quarter of this year.  Shortly thereafter, The Quarter's Pasta Sauce will be available online at www.louisianafoodcompany.com.
"We are extremely proud of our fresh-made The Quarter's Pasta Sauce," said David Loflin, LUSI's President.  "This flavor-rich sauce is an excellent rendition of a classic Italian marinara-style red sauce, with, as we like to say, a dash of New Orleans cooked in.  We believe our dash of New Orleans will make this sauce a favorite," Mr. Loflin added.  
As with all of LUSI's other products, the labeling for The Quarter's Pasta Sauce is distinctive and eye-catching and includes a story inspired by the history, the culture and the people of South Louisiana:
"The French Quarter of New Orleans is, above all else, the epicenter of a mysterious intertwining of the cultures and traditions of The Quarter's settlers and immigrants, each shared, neighbor to neighbor, over hundreds of years.  The Quarter's Pasta Sauce™ is our tribute to the Italian immigrants of the Early 19th Century who brought their own culinary influences to the kitchens of New Orleans.  The dash of New Orleans that we cook into every pot of The Quarter's Pasta Sauce™ is sure to transport you back to those horse-drawn carriage days, to the friendly conversations on the corner of Bourbon and Orleans Streets . . . Salute! — continued at www.louisianafoodcompany.com/pasta.
Capturing South Louisiana
From the outset, LUSI's management has believed that the rich and diverse cultural heritage of South Louisiana would provide a natural source of inspiration for its product labels.  As works of art, LUSI's product labels capture the movement and energy that is South Louisiana – they are "eye-grabbers", and retailer and consumer response to the labels has been extremely positive.

LUSI Traditions

South Louisiana, more than any other part of the United States, holds its cuisine near and dear to its heart. The region’s cuisine is the embodiment of the cultures and traditions brought by its settlers from Europe, Africa, the Caribbean and Canada and shared, neighbor to neighbor, over hundreds of years.

It is in this mysterious intertwining of cultures and traditions that our company’s founder finds his heritage – he is a Cajun, born and raised in South Louisiana.

Image

It seems everyone has heard of Cajun and Creole cuisine, though few actually are able to recite their respective origins. Simply put, Cajun cuisine is rooted in the kitchens of rural Southern Louisiana and Creole cuisine is rooted in the more sophisticated kitchens of New Orleans.

When the Acadians (now pronounced “Cajuns”) first began settling the area back in the day, there was no social contact with the New Orleans “Creoles”. Rugged and adaptable, the Cajuns were of the land. Unlike the Creoles, for the early Cajuns, life was a day-to-day, season-to-season battle to sustain their families. From the beginning, this difference in style of living determined the differences between Cajun and Creole cuisine.

The Creoles (Europeans in derivation) led a life of relative luxury in and around New Orleans. Consequently, the dishes that emerged from the Creole kitchens reflected the haute cuisine of their homelands. The Creoles were known to dine on an array of sophisticated dishes that featured the natural riches of the Gulf and local plantations.

Image

While the Creoles were enjoying their sophisticated cuisine, the Cajuns were feasting on “one pot” meals, that is, meals that were prepared by combining the local ingredients in a single cooking vessel. With the abundant fish, shellfish, vegetables, rice and spices, the Cajuns developed enduring dishes, including jambalaya, gumbo and etouffee.

Louisiana Food Company stands on this Cajun tradition!

Products & Services


VuQo Premium Vodka



VuQo Premium Vodka is made of coconut nectar, unlike traditional vodkas distilled from wheat or potatoes.

The core ingredient that makes VuQo comes from Philippine coconut trees - the best in the world grown on the country's nutrient-rich volcanic soil and tropical climate.

The healthy coconut trees produce coconut flowers thirty feet above the ground. The flower is cut, and every morning so its sweet coconut liquid is collected and readied for fermentation and distillation to create a vodka of utmost quality.
The history of VuQo Premium Vodka dates back at least four centuries. VuQo Premium Vodka is based on an ancient technology practiced in the Philippines long before Spanish conquistadores set foot on its shores.

It is the same technology that Filipino seafarers brought to Mexico through the Spanish Galleon trades to create the now popular tequila. Coconut vodka was the drink in those ancient times, on those far eastern shores. It was, in a manner of speaking, a tribal drink, one that sealed brotherhoods and with which the day's bounty was enjoyed and shared. It is this spirit that VuQo Premium Vodka hopes to recreate and celebrate today.
VuQo Premium Vodka is the only true coconut vodka, as it is distilled from coconut nectar and not just infused with coconut flavor.

After the finest coconut nectar has been selected and fermented, it is distilled multiple times, cleansing it of all impurities. The product is then blended with water and sent through a series of activated carbon filters. The end result is pure perfection.
