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Grits—originally made from dried white corn, cooked with lime, dried and ground coarse (i.e.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

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.

Castor, Bar, Superfine or Ultrafine Sugar.

can sometimes be used as a substitute.
Muscovado (special order)—minimally processed. Made before molasses is taken out of sugar production processes.

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.

Michel Cluizel —”mini grammes” Craftsmanship—that is the one word that describes Michel Cluizel chocolate from Normandy, France. For three generations, the Cluizel family has meticulously and lovingly manufactured
their exquisite line of chocolate in Damville, Normandy.
They have been free and fair trade from the start and always NON-GMO. With direct (they do not purchase commodity beans) sustainable relations with cocoa planters, they have been able control quality and natural taste. 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!

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. 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

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.
