OK. That sent me scurrying for the Google search engine. The package blurbs
sound just a whole lot like marketroid hype ... I'd have to know who the
"independent professional chefs" were and what "leading brands" were in the
competition.

What I found is that the company is a family-owned successful enterprise. And
that they even list their board of directors on their home page. If they were
available to me I'd give them a try. 

No list of "where to buy" so I don't know it they are distributed in my area.
I'll be looking and asking for the brand, though. I did explore the recipes
area ...
