Gracious Gourmet Expands Spreads Assortment

The Gracious Gourmet is expanding its assortment with the launch of four new products that include a new spread, jam, pesto and jelly. All products will be on display at the 2022 PLMA Private Label Show in Chicago.

According to the company, private label opportunities are available for items in our existing line and the company is also able to create custom formulations and develop new products. Products made for retail and foodservice are offered 2 oz., 4 oz., 7.75 oz. half-gallon and gallon containers. 

Among the new items are the Caramelized Onion Fig Spread, which can be paired with a variety of food including cheese plates, roasted meats, sandwiches and on flatbreads.

The new Strawberry Black Pepper Jam features strawberries enhanced with black pepper and balsamic vinegar. The jam can be used with sweet and savory foods. Gracious Gourmet’s Roasted Tomato Pesto offers tomatoes that are enhanced with a hint of Calabrian chile heat to offer an on-trend and different take on this perennial favorite. 

Rounding out the new assortment is the White Balsamic Hatch Chile Jelly. This spicy pepper jelly is made with sweet white balsamic vinegar, hot New Mexican Hatch chiles and a kick of habaneros. Serve with cream cheese or with roasted meats and in a sandwich.

“The Gracious Gourmet selects the highest quality ingredients to cook up innovative and sophisticated flavors that have already become shoppers’ favorites,” said Nancy Wekselbaum, the company’s founder. “Our jams and jellies are meant to be used every day — as well as when you want to add excitement to dishes on special occasions.”
