Awad Prime Investment Partners with Aram Food to Enter U.S. Market
Awad Prime Investment and Aram Food Industries Forge Strategic Alliance to Bring Ultra-Premium Egyptian Produce to the U.S. and Canada. In a transformative move for the global frozen food industry, Awad Prime Investment has entered into a strategic alliance with Aram Food Industries to launch an ambitious expansion into the United States and Canada. The partnership unites two of Egypt’s most innovative agri-food companies with one mission: to introduce North American consumers to a new generation of premium and ultra-premium frozen fruits, vegetables, and natural juice products grounded in Egypt’s exceptional agricultural heritage. The alliance arrives at a pivotal moment for the global food supply chain, as consumers increasingly demand transparency, purity, and naturally sourced ingredients. With more than five years of combined experience manufacturing and exporting high-quality frozen produce, the partnership draws on an expanding international footprint that already spans 14 countries — including the U.S., the U.K., Puerto Rico, Morocco, Libya, Jordan, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. Now, the companies aim to position Egypt as a rising global origin for premium-grade produce. Egypt’s Agricultural Advantage: Reimagining Local Strength for Global Markets Egypt’s reputation as one of the world’s oldest agricultural centers remains a significant strategic asset. With its fertile soil, favorable climate, and expansive farming regions, the country has long been recognized as a reliable source of vibrant, flavorful produce. According to Iullia Shevchenko, General Manager and Executive Vice President of Awad Prime Investment, these natural advantages are central to the company's global strategy. “Egypt’s soil is among the most fertile in the world, producing fruit and vegetable varieties with exceptional flavor, color, and nutritional value,” Shevchenko said. “This is precisely why Egypt has become such an attractive destination for agricultural investment. Through our partnership with Aram, we are elevating this natural potential into ultra-premium products designed for discerning global markets.” Awad Prime’s newly enhanced production line — built in cooperation with Aram Food Industries — was engineered to meet stringent international standards, from raw material handling to final packaging. Shevchenko emphasized that no shortcuts are taken during production; every item is supervised through strict quality checkpoints to ensure maximum purity and flavor retention. Brand Portfolio Tailored for North America’s Evolving Consumer Landscape Awad Prime Investment currently manages three premium brands along with its flagship Ultra-Premium line, Awad Prime, known for its clean-label formulations, minimal processing, and unwavering focus on product integrity. Its expanded portfolio is positioned to meet a rapidly changing consumer landscape in the U.S. and Canada, where demand for authenticity, transparency, and natural ingredients continues to rise. According to industry data, the North American frozen food market has grown significantly in the past decade, driven by busy lifestyles and the heightened interest in nutrient-dense, ready-to-use produce. Yet many consumers remain dissatisfied with mass-market options that compromise flavor and freshness in favor of large-scale commercial uniformity. Mr. Malik Al Sharari, CEO of Aram Food Industries, believes this gap is precisely where the alliance can deliver value. “Our brands — Uncle Chef, La Prima, and Aroma — already have strong identities across multiple global markets. The alliance with Awad Prime allows us to expand that strength by offering an elite product line specifically engineered for the U.S. and Canada,” Al Sharari explained. “These consumers want real fruit flavor, natural color, and uncompromising quality. Our partnership is built to deliver exactly that.” Beyond exports, the companies are also expanding locally within Egypt by partnering with high-end cafés and beverage houses. Signature drinks such as Golden Trio, Black & Berry, and Tango Shot have quickly gained popularity, illustrating the brands’ ability to appeal both domestically and internationally. Global Certifications and a Commitment to Food Safety Quality and safety remain central pillars of Aram Food Industries’ production philosophy. The company maintains FDA approval and ISO certifications, affirming its adherence to global manufacturing standards. Mr. Mahmoud Nouman, Factory Director of Aram Food Industries, described the company’s manufacturing approach: “Our production system is built to exceed international benchmarks. We implement strict quality standards at every stage — from sourcing and washing the produce to flash-freezing, storage, and packaging. Our priority is simple: deliver 100% safe, clean, and nutritious products to consumers worldwide.” Aram Food Industries also prioritizes sustainable manufacturing practices. These include reducing operational waste, optimizing water use, and implementing energy-efficient production systems — initiatives designed to protect natural resources and minimize environmental impact. Direct-to-Consumer Vision for North America While exporting is the foundation of the expansion strategy, Awad Prime Investment seeks to go far beyond traditional supply chains. The company is investing in digital transformation, U.S.-based marketing operations, and direct consumer engagement. Mr. Mostafa Al-Kayali, Regional Director for the U.S. and Canada, explains that the company’s vision is centered on consumer trust and product transparency. “We don’t just manufacture and ship products,” Al-Kayali said. “We accompany the product from the beginning — from selecting the fruit in Egypt to the moment it reaches the consumer’s home in North America. This is our commitment, and it differentiates us in a crowded marketplace.” To support this strategy, Awad Prime has launched an international media hub dedicated to brand storytelling, consumer education, and digital outreach. The company also collaborates with major importers and distributors across multiple states to ensure an efficient supply chain that connects high-quality Egyptian produce directly to North American households. Al-Kayali noted that many consumers in the U.S. and Canada have become accustomed to highly processed frozen items that lack natural flavor due to commercial mass production. The alliance aims to offer a refreshing alternative: “Food is one of life’s greatest blessings — and one of humanity’s best lines of defense. Quality should never be compromised. We hand-select each fruit individually to ensure it meets our ultra-premium standards. Our mission is simple: offer real flavor, real nutrition, and real value.” A Turning Point for Egypt’s Global Food Manufacturing Sector The partnership between Awad Prime Investment and Aram Food Industries marks more than a business expansion — it represents a larger shift in Egypt’s food manufacturing industry toward global competitiveness. The alliance demonstrates that Egyptian companies can meet and exceed international expectations in quality, branding, safety, and distribution. As global supply chains evolve and consumers demand products that are natural, transparent, and responsibly sourced, the alliance is well-positioned to become a major competitor in North America’s premium frozen food segment. With its combination of fertile sourcing, world-class manufacturing, sustainable practices, and a consumer-centered distribution model, the partnership stands poised to reshape perceptions of Egyptian produce worldwide.

Their properties, from Emeryville and San Francisco to Dublin, welcome guests into rooms that balance glamour with restraint, grounding each visit in atmosphere and measured service as much as culinary craft. Menus at each address celebrate regional Indian traditions, prepared by chef-led teams who blend classics such as Delhi chaats and Punjabi curries with California produce and seafood, supported by attentive, polished service. Within the group, each concept fills a distinct role in the portfolio. Cafe Tazza in Dublin functions as an Indian bakery, Indian sweet shop, and quick-service street-food restaurant, offering mithai, savory snacks, and everyday comforts in a casual setting. Baithak centers on Indian kebabs and curries, serving skewers, grilled specialties, and slow-cooked dishes designed for sharing, giving guests options that range from quick bites to long, convivial dinners. Together with their full-service restaurants, these concepts widen access to regional Indian flavors while maintaining the couple’s standards for hospitality and design.

Whiskey Barrel Aged Coffee, Single-Origin Beans Roasted to Order Announced
Boldline Coffee's recently launched single-origin whiskey barrel-aged coffee uses the company's specialty roasting techniques to create a distinctive flavor experience. The offering features Guatemalan coffee beans aged in whiskey barrels for 30 days, which imparts rich notes of caramel, oak, and subtle whiskey undertones that distinguish it from conventional coffee. Each home-delivered purchase is roasted to order, retaining freshness for each cup brewed. More details can be found at https://boldlinecoffee.com The specialty coffee industry has documented increasing consumer interest in barrel-aged varieties, which blend artisanal craftsmanship with unique flavor profiles that appeal to discerning palates. This trend reflects broader shifts toward experiential beverages that offer more than standard brewing methods can deliver. Beyond flavor innovation, the barrel-aging process produces a smoother, less acidic brew that reduces stomach discomfort compared to traditional roasts. This functional benefit enhances the appeal for health-conscious coffee drinkers who prioritize both taste and digestive comfort. Successful whiskey barrel-aged coffee requires precise management of bean selection, barrel type, and aging duration. Insufficient aging fails to transfer barrel flavors adequately, while excessive exposure can overwhelm the coffee's inherent complexity with overpowering notes. The Boldline Coffee's production method balances these factors to achieve consistent flavor that highlights the beans' original dark chocolate and fruity characteristics with the smoky sweetness of the bourbon barrel's contribution, allowing consumers to experience these layered tasting notes. Repurposing used whiskey barrels for coffee production, not only imparts distinctive flavors, but also provides an environmentally responsible upcycling benefit that aligns with the sustainability values increasingly important to specialty coffee consumers. This practice reduces waste while creating a unique selling point that differentiates barrel-aged offerings from conventional roasts. Eco-friendly packaging with recyclable linings maintains freshness during transit while minimizing environmental impact. Boldline Coffee's new whiskey barrel-aged coffee is available in a variety of sizes, ranging from 12oz to 12lbs. Customers can also choose whether to have the coffee delivered whole bean or ground. Each delivery includes brewing guidance for both traditional and cold brew methods, so customers can optimize their preparation based on equipment availability and personal preference. With this latest addition to their specialty coffee range, Boldline Coffee combines finest beverage craftsmanship with accessible home delivery service, making premium barrel-aged varieties available to enthusiasts nationwide. Ordering information and product details are available at https://boldlinecoffee.com

Founded by Ohio Crawford, a seasoned spirits educator and hospitality veteran, DIBS Mixers has made it possible for both professional bar programs and home bartenders to enjoy premium cocktail syrups without the need for hours of preparation or the high price tag often associated with craft cocktails. The company’s range of syrups, Spiced, Demerara, and Red Fassionola, are crafted using authentic recipes and real ingredients, offering both convenience and quality. What sets DIBS Mixers apart is its commitment to creating products that are rooted in professional bartending techniques but made accessible to everyone. From the high-volume environments of bars and restaurants to the home bars of enthusiasts, DIBS syrups provide the perfect balance of quality and ease of use. DIBS is now distributed nationwide, both in professional settings and directly to consumers through platforms like Amazon. A Founder’s Vision Rooted in Experience DIBS Mixers was born from Ohio Crawford’s extensive background in the spirits industry. Over the years, Crawford has earned formal spirits certifications and established deep connections with distilleries across the U.S. and Mexico. His hands-on experience led him to recognize a significant gap in the industry. While professional bartenders spent hours batch prepping syrups, many home enthusiasts were forced to rely on artificial ingredients or skip craft cocktails altogether. Crawford’s response was DIBS Mixers, cocktail syrups made with real sugars, natural spices, and traditional techniques that deliver the same high-quality results found in the best bars. "I spent years touring distilleries and earning spirits certifications," Crawford explains. "DIBS came from a simple question: why should quality ingredients only exist behind expensive bar programs? The answer is they shouldn’t." A Rare, Authentic Ingredient in High Demand Among DIBS’ standout products is the Red Fassionola syrup, which has quickly become a favorite among cocktail enthusiasts. Red Fassionola is one of the only authentic versions of this rare tiki-era syrup available commercially. Traditionally requiring hours of preparation and specialty sourcing, Red Fassionola has been all but lost in the cocktail world. With DIBS Mixers, it has been brought back to life, providing bartenders with an authentic option for making classic tiki cocktails like the Zombie and Hurricane without the lengthy prep work. “It was nearly impossible to find a true Red Fassionola commercially. Bartenders either spent hours making it from scratch or skipped tiki cocktails altogether. We brought back an authentic version because these recipes deserve to exist beyond high-end cocktail bars,” says Crawford. Expanding Nationally, One Syrup at a Time DIBS Mixers is committed to scaling its impact across the country, providing both professional establishments and home bartenders with the tools they need to create exceptional cocktails. Currently, DIBS syrups are available in bars, restaurants, and hotels across multiple states and are also sold directly to consumers through Amazon. With its national distribution, DIBS is helping bars maintain high standards of cocktail quality, even when faced with resource constraints. "Bars and restaurants often struggle with high-volume demands and limited prep time. DIBS helps us streamline our operations without compromising on the quality of the drinks," says Carlos M., a bartender at a 600-seat restaurant. A Texas-Based Company with National Appeal While DIBS Mixers may have roots in San Antonio, Texas, the company’s reach extends far beyond its home state. DIBS syrups are now sold nationally, making it possible for cocktail enthusiasts across the country to enjoy top-tier ingredients without the premium price tag. Made in Texas with a focus on supporting the local economy, DIBS’ commitment to quality, authenticity, and accessibility has set it apart from competitors. DIBS Mixers is featured in Chilled Magazine, a prominent bartender publication, and continues to receive recognition for its impact on the cocktail industry. Whether serving a high-volume bar or a home enthusiast, DIBS is helping redefine what it means to make craft cocktails accessible to all.

Alexander Elixirs and Essentials Announces Revolutionary Botanical Cocktail Foamer
The End of Egg Whites and Synthetic Foamers A Quiet Revolution in Cocktail Texture For over a century, bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts have relied on egg whites to create silky, lasting foam in all kinds of drinks, especially sours and fizzes. However, the practice, while traditional, has its challenges: allergens, consistency issues, speed at busy bars, and limited appeal to vegan guests. The search for an alternative has long been a struggle, with many synthetic and early botanical solutions failing to meet the high standards demanded by professional bartenders. Now, Alexander’s Elixirs and Essentials has cracked the code, delivering a truly neutral botanical cocktail foamer that solves these longstanding problems. From Cocktail Foams to a Botanical Solution The story of Alexander’s Elixirs and Essentials begins with founder Alexander Hartunian, a bartender turned formulator, who found himself frustrated by the industry’s acceptance of egg whites as the go-to foaming agent. Despite numerous alternatives over the years, ranging from synthetic agents to early botanical options, none delivered on the promises of consistency, flavor neutrality, and sustainability. The breakthrough came when Alexander decided to experiment with nature’s own solution, plants. Drawing from the principles of molecular mixology and apothecary tradition, Alexander started a small-batch production process in his micro-apothecary lab. There, he began experimenting with high-grade, responsibly sourced botanicals and plant extracts to create the industry’s first truly clean, neutral, and plant-based foamer. Hundreds of test batches, pH curve experiments, and blind tastings later, Alexander’s Original Cocktail Foamer was born, an innovation that would soon find its place in top bars and independent bottle shops across the country. Why Egg Whites Could No Longer Be the Standard For over 100 years, egg whites have been the default foaming agent in cocktails. However, they come with several major drawbacks: risk of allergic reactions, inconsistent foam texture, the time-consuming process of separating eggs, and a problematic lack of inclusivity for vegan guests. Additionally, egg whites can create a distinct aroma and flavor profile that some consumers find off-putting. Bars also struggle with the logistics of maintaining fresh eggs, especially during late hours. Synthetic alternatives that followed often created further complications. Many of these foamers use chemical stabilizers, leaving a lingering plastic or waxy aftertaste. Other early botanical alternatives were simply too bitter or overpowering, introducing earthy or root beer-like notes that clashed with delicate spirits. The Birth of a Better Foamer Recognizing the flaws in both synthetic and early botanical alternatives, Hartunian took a different approach, listening more closely to nature. "Plants have been making perfect foam for millions of years. We just had to listen harder than everyone else," Hartunian reflects. By isolating specific plant compounds and balancing them carefully, he achieved a plant-based foamer that remains completely neutral in flavor and aroma, allowing the cocktail’s true essence to shine through. Alexander’s Original Cocktail Foamer is a game-changer for both professional bartenders and home enthusiasts alike. Free from synthetic additives, artificial flavors, or preservatives, it creates a stable, silky microfoam without the chemical or bitter aftertaste that has plagued the industry. The foamer’s neutral composition means it doesn’t disrupt the delicate balance of flavors in cocktails, whether they feature gin, whiskey, or other spirits. Why Top Bars Embrace the Change The initial reception of Alexander’s foamer by top bars was overwhelmingly positive. Professionals appreciated the consistency, ease of use, and most importantly, the texture that elevated the drinks without interfering with the flavor. In a time when cocktail culture is rapidly evolving, bartenders are looking for innovative solutions that align with the growing demand for plant-based, sustainable products. Alexander’s Elixirs and Essentials has successfully addressed these needs, creating a foaming solution that matches the high standards of the craft cocktail community. Not only does this foamer provide a cleaner, more natural alternative to egg whites, but it also eliminates the need for aquafaba (a plant-based egg white alternative that many people are allergic to, causing throat swelling) or synthetic foamers, which often fail to provide the same texture or taste. The introduction of Alexander’s Original Cocktail Foamer has sparked a small revolution in how bars approach cocktail texture, inclusivity, and flavor integrity. Crafting a Neutral, Professional Solution The core of Alexander’s Elixirs and Essentials’ success lies in the meticulous development process that led to the creation of the Original Cocktail Foamer. Using traditional chemistry methods such as vacuum degassing, filtration, and activated charcoal neutralization, the company crafted a product that is clear, flavor-neutral, and stable. It’s a foamer that bartenders can rely on to deliver a consistently flawless texture without compromising on flavor. The result is a product that bars can confidently use to enhance the overall drink experience, without worrying about ingredients that might upset the balance of the cocktail. In a market filled with brands that cut corners or outsource production, Alexander’s Elixirs and Essentials stands apart for its commitment to quality and authenticity. The company is proudly self-distributed in select U.S. markets and offers direct-to-consumer sales nationwide. Their line of all-natural bitters, syrups, and the award-winning cocktail foamer is carried by independent bottle shops, upscale cocktail bars, and specialty retailers that prioritize transparency and performance. The Clean-Label Revolution The launch of Alexander’s Original Cocktail Foamer is part of a broader movement toward clean-label products in the beverage industry. As consumers increasingly demand transparency, sustainability, and quality in what they consume, Alexander’s Elixirs and Essentials remains at the forefront of this revolution. The brand's commitment to crafting high-performance products without synthetic additives or processed ingredients has earned recognition from industry leaders and cocktail aficionados alike. About Alexander’s Elixirs and Essentials Founded by Alexander Hartunian, Alexander’s Elixirs and Essentials is a premium, plant-based cocktail enhancer and botanical essentials brand. The company specializes in crafting small-batch, all-natural bitters, tinctures, syrups, and the industry’s first 100% botanical cocktail foamer.
