Koda Farms In the late 40’s, Koda Farms was the first commercial grower of Sweet Rice (Sho-Chiku-Bai) in California and developed the American market for this rice & flour (Mochiko). About 10 years later, they created the original variety of medium sushi rice called “Kokuho Rose” which is now a registered trade mark to Koda Farms. This rice was created specifically for their micro-climate & soil type. Koda Farms is the sole grower of this proprietary strain. This is why it is so different, unique & superior from taste to appearance. Kokuho Rose is legendary in the food industry and Diamond K flour is made from the brokens. Third generation family owned & operated in the Central Valley. All

products are non-GMO and kosher certified. South Dos Palos, California

Corn Flour—made from dried corn, milled very fine into flour. Do not sub corn flour for corn meal.

Corn Meal—made from dried corn, milled fine, medium or coarse. Traditionally stone-ground which makes the corn meal more nutritious by leaving some of the hull and germ of the kernel. It also has a higher fat content that makes it more perishable. Most corn meal is now ground by steel rollers which removes most of the husk

and germ.

Grits—originally made from dried white corn, cooked with lime, dried and ground coarse (i.e.

“cured”). Now more generally manufactured as a more coarsely ground corn meal.

Masa Flour– made from hominy (dried, cooked corn with added lime).

Polenta– a dish that you make with medium or coarse ground yellow corn meal. If a corn meal has the word “polenta” in the description, it generally means it is coarse grain size, ideal for this

dish.

SUGAR GLOSSARY AA Confectioner’s Crystals (special order) —size 1100 microns—large grain size, clear crystal. Ideal for toppings, baked

goods. Not to be confused with “confectionary” or powered sugar.

Agave (various #)—Agave syrup is the same as agave nectar. Raw has not been pasteurized or heated. Though the

syrup can come from several species of agave, the Blue is the most popular. Light is golden to amber and heated to

about 151 degrees for a short time; whereas Dark is heated to 116 degrees for a longer period of time resulting in a

deeper darker color.

Bakers Special (various #) —size 100 microns—super fine sugar with superior dispersion characteristics. Also known as

Castor, Bar, Superfine or Ultrafine Sugar.

Brown Golden C (various #)—size 150 microns—stays soft & pliable on the shelf, even when temperatures are high.

Boiled medium brown sugar with a rich molasses flavor and small uniform crystals.

Brown Yellow D (various #)—size 150 microns—dark brown with extra rich molasses flavor. Boiled, small uniform crystals.

Cane Syrup (Lyle’s #527855, 16 lb)—100% cane sugar, by product of making granulated sugar. Excellent alternative

for corn syrup. Smooth butterscotch flavor, excellent for pecan & pumpkin pies.

Décor AA Polished (C&H #526921, 25 lb)—sugars that are used as garnish and/or won’t melt. Also “A”, Snow Sugar =

is non-gmo and slightly blond in color. (Beet sugar is generally GMO if from the US).

Invert Sugar– like trimoline used to prevent or control crystallization & increase shelf life. Sweeter than glucose. Honey

can sometimes be used as a substitute.

Muscovado (special order)—minimally processed. Made before molasses is taken out of sugar production processes.

Deep dark brown in color. The term comes from the Spanish word mascavado meaning lowest quality because it was

less refined and considered inferior in the late 18th and early 19th century. Can be special ordered.

Powdered Sugar (various #)—size 50 microns—micro-pulverized sugar formulated with 3% cornstarch to prevent caking.

Ideal for icings, dustings & frostings. Organic turns slightly grey, making it less suitable for white icings.

cookies.

Sucanut (special order) - size n/a. Unrefined. Large grains made by crushed sugar cane, extracting the juice & heating/

cane juice—”Sugar in the Raw”. Light brown, large crystal with a mild molasses flavor. Golden colored raw cane sugar

Mieli Thun—raw, monofloral honeys from the Italian Alps

Andrea Paternoster is a nomadic beekeeper and a rock star of sorts in Europe for his honeys. He took his grandfather’s good local honey business started in the 1920’s and has made it into one of

the most revered in the world today. Exceptional honey is his passion.

Concentrating on raw monofloral (single flower) honeys, like the unexpected flavors of coriander & dandeli-on. Every year the hives are moved to the different blooms in the area, gathering monofloral honeys & hon-eydews, following Mother Nature’s rhythms and ways. Depending on the varietal, the honey may stay clear longer; however, the real delight is enjoying a naturally crystalized honey whether it be with cheese, on grilled meats, with grilled vegetables or even in cooking or baking. Enjoy the unique perfumes, flavors and

textures. Organic by nature, NON-GMO—Alps, Italy. (See next page for all varietals available as special order).

Gelatin Sheets/Powder

Not sure which type of gelatin sheet to use? Go for silver. When the recipe calls for SHEETS, you can

interchangeably use gold, silver or bronze with a very similar result; 5 sheets = 5 sheets. However, if

the recipe calls for GRAMS of gelatin sheets but makes no mention of grade, that can be tricky—see

chart above. Converting sheets to powder? No problem, simply 1 teaspoon of powdered gelatin is

about equal to 1 sheet of silver (1 envelope = 1 tablespoon = 3 sheets). While powdered

(unflavored) gelatin is convenient, it generally does not produce a crystal clear product like sheets do.

Not sure how much gelatin to use in your NEW recipe? Generally 6 sheets are for 1/2 liter liquid; 4

sheets for 1/2 liter of crèmes containing eggs products.

Pectin is a gelling agent from plants, mainly extracted from citrus fruits and apples. Pectin is a soluble

dietary fiber that binds to cholesterol in our gastrointestinal tract and helps slow glucose absorption by

trapping carbohydrates.

Apple Pectin— is used to stabilize/thicken jams, jellies, paté de fruit, etc. There are different types

of pectin for different applications. Pure apple pectin (also known as yellow pectin) is the most common

and universal in the pastry kitchen. It has a slow set, and spreadable gel texture. Once set, it cannot be

reversed or melted.

Thermoreversible Pectin—also known as NH, NR or TR. It can be set, melted and set again. Meant for

low sugar items. Set time is longer and is best for sauces or clear jellies where particle suspension is not

important.

Beans are fermented according to a skillfully controlled technique, at the farmer’s

premises.

Their “single plantation” chocolates are from very small plots of land not large geographic areas. Each one has unique and subtitle flavors, specific to the terroir. Their “Elianza” blends are a combination of all 9 single

origins.

Only the best and most authentic ingredients go into their chocolate - cane sugar, whole vanilla beans and NO soy. And, they do not use any lecithin in any of their single plantation chocolates. Manufacturer of all

chocolate is done at the Cluizel factory.

Their unique “grammes” size coin (4 pieces per gram) is a major innovation for the Professional as they melt quickly and allow more precise measuring, as well as make

tempering, seeding and blending easier.

This line is unique and not widely distributed—BiRITE is their only West Coast distributor. Though not as well known in the US as other high-end French chocolate companies, Michel Cluizel is a well-known and respected by the best

pastry chefs around the world.

Let us introduce this line to you! Normandy, France.

Thomas Keller has a bean-to-bar chocolate factory in Napa. All of his restaurants are using his

chocolate … and NOW, you can too!

K+M Extravirgin Chocolate was initially created as a retail bar crafted with extra virgin olive oil.

Now it is available for food service. The food service formulation does not include extra virgin

olive oil, nor additional cocoa butter, so it is ideal for ice cream desserts, cakes, cookies, fillings and

sauces. The chocolates are super smooth and intensely bold. In a word, they are sublime and our

new STAFF PICK! You taste chocolate first and foremost, but also the true craftsmanship that went

Callebaut —”callets”

Established in Belgium in 1911, then merged with Cacao Barry in 1996 to become Barry

-Callebaut. The staple chocolate brand in most culinary schools because the chocolate

brand is readily available and well priced all over the world. Known as “the world’s

biggest chocolatier”. Slab chocolate is manufactured in Belgium whereas the coins

(callets) are made in the US.

Ghirardelli —”drops”

Incorporated in 1852, Ghirardelli is the third oldest chocolate company in the US.

Though local favorite Ghirardelli is mostly known for its Sweet Cocoa Mix and

Wrapped Chocolate Squares, Ghirardelli actually is a great source for cookie drops.

Their professional range is worth notice. While most manufacturers semi-sweet drops

are about 44% cocoa, Ghirardelli’s are 45%, 55% and 60%. Additionally, their 100%

cocoa powders range from 15-17% up to 20-22%, in bulk, at a great value.

What is the difference between DUTCH and NATURAL cocoa powder?

Cocoa powder is made from chocolate minus the cocoa butter, ground fine. If the recipe does NOT say which type, you can generally sub Natural for Dutch, but not the other way around. If the recipe calls for baking soda, then use Natural, if

it lists baking powder, then use Dutch.

For ice cream & sorbet, regular chocolate is best because you will get the smoothest product versus having a slightly sandy

texture left on your pallet.

Dutch Process (aka Alkalized)—cocoa beans are washed with a potassium solution to neutralize acidity, making them darker. The flavor however, is a little mellower. Typical pH level is between 7 (the same as water). Pairs with Baking

POWDER.

Natural Process—cocoa beans that have been roasted, then made into powder. All organic cocoa powder is “natural”.

Generally lighter in color and fruitier tasting. Typical pH level is 5-6. Pairs with Baking SODA.

Scharffen Burger —”squares”

Once the local darling who helped start the wave of new American chocolate back in 1996. Now owned located in Illinois and owned by Hershey. Still a staple in most local

retailers and many professional kitchens too. Sold in “square” pieces.

Cacao Barry —”pistoles”

Started in 1842 by Charles Barry who personally sourced beans in Africa for his French chocolate company. In 1971, Cacao Barry partnered with world famous pastry chef Gaston Lenôtre then becoming the first brand to offer support to professionals. Known for its quality and consistency.

Available in “pistols” coins. France

Social RESPONSIBILITY

Producing the finest quality pure vanilla products has always been a core value of Nielsen-Massey; however, making the world a better place to live ranks even higher. As one of the first companies to introduce an organic and fair trade vanilla from Madagascar, we are committed to programs that promote sustainable environmental practices and which

enable farmers to earn a successful livelihood in countries where poverty is common. As part of this sustainability commitment, Nielsen-Massey has taken a leadership role in improving the overall health of the vanilla industry, with a particular emphasis on improving economic prospects for the farmers who make the industry possible. Through

Initiatives such as strengthening security for growers, preventing the harvest of immature beans, improving the professionalism of the industry and encouraging the use of proper curing and farming methods, Nielsen-Massey is

playing an important role in strengthening the supply chain and making vanilla a more sustainable crop.

Preserves Bulk

#297002 Apricot Preserves with a hint of Hibiscus & Vanilla 8 lb bulk tub, frozen

#297005 Raspberry Preserves (with seeds) 8 lb bulk tub, frozen

#297006 Strawberry Preserves with a touch of Black Currant 8 lb bulk tub, frozen

These preserves are made locally here in San Francisco’s Dog Patch using

traditional French recipes and cooked at low heat in copper kettles. Made

only of three ingredients—70% fruit, cane sugar and pectin. These

preserves are “clean” and all natural. Since there are no preservatives,

product comes frozen and has a 30 day shelf life refrigerated.

The unique secondary flavor is just a subtle suggestion that highlights the

main fruit while offering something different. These preserves can be

used on the table, as cake or cookie fillings as well as stuffed in baked

pastries. Since these preserves do not contain starches and gums like

commercial “bake-proof” jams (20-40% fruit), when baked, they will run

slightly making for a more artisanal product.

There is nothing like these jams from Maison de Monaco!

Trending—Butterfly Pea Flower

Butterfly pea flower tea is a caffeine-free herbal tea, or tisane, beverage made from

a decoction or infusion of the leaves of the Clitoria ternatea plant. The ternatea is also

known as butterfly-pea, blue-pea, Aprajita, Cordofan pea or Asian pigeonwings.

Derived from a plant that is common to most South East Asian countries, butterfly

pea flower tea has been brewed for centuries, but only recently been introduced to

tea drinkers outside the indigenous area. Butterfly pea flower tea retains many of the

medicinal properties, as well as extracting the deep blue color of the petals that has

made the plant a popular dye for centuries.

One neat trick of the steeped dried flowers is that the liquid changes color based on

the pH level of the substance added to it. For instance, adding lemon juice, tonic or

any acid to the tea will turn it purple.

There are so many exciting ways to use it too—Blue Ice Tea or Lemonade, Blue/

Matcha drinks, Blue Rice, Blue Velvet Cake or even Blue Surf Cake!

We stock it two ways—pure (it has a slight edamame taste) or blended with jasmine

tea. Either way you get a gorgeous blue color—hot or cold brewed. You can even

reuse it a second time.

Trending—Matcha Powder

Matcha is everywhere and not just in beverages! Ice cream, cookies, cakes, truffles, rice

and more! Though Matcha has as much caffeine as coffee, it gives a less jittery buzz that

last longer. It’s important to store the Matcha in a dark sealed container, in a cool loca-

tion, so that it does not oxidize, effecting the color.

Matcha is a traditional Japanese green tea powder produced by stone-milling a shade-grown green tea called tencha

into a fine powder. The quality of matcha greatly depends on the tea bush cultivar, shading technique and picking

standard used to produce tencha. Matcha has a rich cultural tradition as the tea prepared and revered during cha-

noyu–the mindful, artistic, Zen-inspired Japanese Tea Ceremony. Matcha is unique among teas in that when we

drink matcha, we consume fresh green tea leaf itself, ground and whisked up into an energizing, refreshing bowl.

There are many types of Matcha powder, but basically there is “barista” and “culinary”. Barista is the go-to for café

style drinks, it is the best quality, second flush matcha. Culinary matcha is ideal for cooking and is less expensive.

Think of barista as extra virgin olive oil and culinary as pure olive oil. We stock both options:

What is “Baker’s Percentage”?

Baker’s Percentage is a calculation that allows you to

increase a dough recipe, while maintaining the correct

ratios. In short, you cannot just double or triple a dough

recipe and hope that it comes out correctly. According

to the Bread Bakers Guild of America (www.bbga.org),

it is critical to understand and respect these formulas to

have a successful outcome.

Flour is always 100% and the weight of each other in-

gredient is a percentage of the flour weight. It’s really

easy! The recipe must be in weight (not in volume). If

you have a recipe with more than one flour, just add up

the weights of the flours to make that your 100% base.

EXAMPLE: STRAIGHT DOUGH

with one type of flour

Total Dough Weight (TDW) 16.300 KG

TOTAL FORMULA

Ingredients % Kilograms

Flour 100% 10 kg

Water 60% 6 kg

Salt 2% .2 kg

Yeast 1% .1 kg

TOTALS 163% 16.30 KG

CHOCOLATE

BLOOM

Chocolate bloom is a white powdery surface due to fat

bloom or sugar bloom. This problem is due to incorrect stor-

age of chocolate; either too warm or too cold. Fat bloom

occurs when cocoa butter either does not crystallize properly

or undergoes a phase transition when stored in warm or hu-

mid conditions. Fat bloomed chocolate feels 'oily' or 'greasy'

due to surface layer of fat. Fortunately, fat bloom can be

reversed by either tempering the chocolate or using it in a

baked good where the chocolate will be warmed or cooled in

similar way of the tempering process.

Sugar bloom occurs when sugar dissolves in surface moisture

and recrystallizes, so do not store unwrapped chocolate in the

fridge. Sugar-bloomed chocolate feels 'grainy' due to sugar

deposits on the surface. Most importantly, sugar bloom is

irreversible, so sugar-bloomed chocolate cannot be fixed

(though you may be able to salvage it in a brownie recipe).

Chocolate with low cocoa butter content (like 32%) will have

less than high cocoa butter content couvertures. If the choco-

late is being used in baking (either as a chip or melted into

the recipe) the quality won't be affected. If you are making

molded truffles, the chocolate will need to tempered again.
