Continuing to live up to its one-stop-shopping service to its customers, Baldor Specialty Foods headquartered in the Bronx, NY, has launched a new bar program that will fill all the needs of its foodservice customers’ beverage needs.
Announced Aug. 5, the new program includes an extensive variety of cocktail mixes, fresh and prepared fruit and vegetable products, herbs, spices, garnishes and much more. It also includes beers from partners including Brown’s Brewing, and Bridge and Tunnel. Beers and ciders are available to its New York customers.
Baldor is one of the larger specialty food distributors in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, with an extensive clientele list of foodservice operators and retailers.
Beginning as Balducci’s fruit stand in Greenwich Village in 1946, Baldor maintains its original promise: curate and deliver the best and freshest foods in the world. Baldor seeks to provide great specialty foods and logistics that give their customers an edge.
The new bar line isn’t shy on top brand names. It includes a full range of mixers from companies such as Genuine Coconut and Ocean Spray. The line is rich in ciders from Red Jacket Orchards and juices from Dole, POM Wonderful and many others.
Fresh fruits and vegetables are also abundant in the program. Items such as whole and wedged limes and lemons, Driscoll’s strawberries and blueberries, lychees, Moro oranges and red grapefruit help to round out the categories.
The fresh herb line covers the entire gambit of anything a barista, barman, bartender or chef could possibly want or need to create delicious and unique beverages.
“This new program pays special attention to the other side of the restaurant experience: the cocktail bar,” explained Lars Dahlhaus, Baldor’s on-premise specialist. “Baldor customers will have the convenience of one-stop shopping for all their cocktail mixing needs, and for New York-based customers, a new portfolio of great-tasting locally produced and imported beers.”
Baldor Chief Executive Officer TJ Murphy added, “Cocktails and craft beers have become an integral part of the dining experience. It only makes sense for Baldor to provide its restaurants and foodservice provider-partners with a selection of top-quality ingredients and beverages for the bar.”
Elements of the bar program will be rolled out to Baldor’s customers at regular intervals throughout the year, with tap takeovers and other special cocktail events planned in the pipeline.
