Taste honeys, veggie spreads at open house

Z Specialty Food announces its second annual open house Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. In addition to live music, raffles and giveaways, all of the company’s award-winning products will be available for tasting at its warehouse, 1250-A Harter Ave. in Woodland.

“For the last few years we have been reaching out to our local community and neighbors,” says Josh Zeldner, one of the family owners. “We had so much fun introducing everyone to our wide range of products and the response has been wonderful! More people come each year.”

Z Specialty Food is home to Moon Shine Trading Company, Island of the Moon Apiaries and Cowboy Caviar.

Moon Shine Trading processes varietal honeys from across the United States packed in everything from small jars to barrels. In addition, each flavor is available as “Honey in the Straw,” a portable way to enjoy the tasty treat.

There are more than 10 honeys in this gourmet line. Moon Shine Trading also features tangy and flavorful honey fruit spreads, chocolate nut spreads and a wide range of gift packaging.

Island of the Moon Apiaries is home to a smaller group of varietals available locally in several independent grocery stores.

Cowboy Caviar’s all-natural fresh vegetable spreads are “great with eggs, chicken and as a topping on pizza,” Zeldner says.

Free drawings for gift baskets, boxes and even a frozen turkey will take place all day. Music from ‘The Great American Songbook’ will be provided by the Jonny Gold Trio.
