Libbey: New Glassware Helps You Master Your Spirits Presentations No rest for the busy. Coming off last year’s many new product launches, Libbey Foodservice steps the tempo up to an even higher level with the launch of their new Artistry Collection. This new, top-tier hospitality tabletop array features world class tabletop brands such as Schonwald dinnerware, Spiegelau and Nachtmann glassware, and Reed & Barton flatware.

Just in time for the fall season, Libbey® Foodservice is introducing an innovative way to present one of the nation’s most trending beverages: hard cider. The new Hard Cider glass has a distinctive design that provides a definitive tasting experience by intensifying the aromas for maximum flavor. “Hard cider is one of many different trends right now,” said Alex Renshaw, head bartender at Drumbar in Chicago, “It’s a good idea to be on top of your glassware to make sure it fits the types of drinks you’re serving. The right glass helps to highlight new trends.” Libbey's new cider glass features Fizzazz® technology to increase the effervescence, allowing hard ciders to achieve a more beer-like experience without increasing carbonation. The striking contours of the glass were insightfully designed to optimize the palate for hard ciders and mimic the natural and familiar shape of an apple. The bottom ridges allow for a comfortable grip and help release aromas that are concentrated and intensified by the apple-shaped bowl for a truly multi-sensory tasting experience.

Got a small French bistro or breakfast shop and looking to differentiate it a bit? Here is a small French glassware company that may help you do just that..... La Rochere. And now, La Rochere announces the creation of la Rochere NA, a new subsidiary to distribute and represent its brand in the U.S. La Rochere NA is based in Bronxville, NY.

In response to the popularity of its Farmhouse™ collection, Libbey® Foodservice is taking farm-to-table presentations to the next level by nearly doubling its selection of products. Dinnerware additions include select new accents offered in two colors at the very peak of today’s color trends, and new cream white bowls, a round platter and honey pot set that complete an organic, fresh atmosphere. In addition, the Farmhouse collection has expanded to the complete tabletop to include a line of flatware and glassware. “With the positive reception and customer feedback on our Farmhouse collection, we are responding to the demand for pieces that take the farm-to-table movement above and beyond what is expected,” said Susan J. Dountas, director of foodservice marketing for Libbey. “The invigorating, organic feel of these products empowers restaurants to showcase and differentiate their presentations of locally sourced, farm fresh creations.” Butter Yellow Plates and Blue Hen Bowl and Mug Color accent pieces create visual pop and add a unique charm to any tabletop. New Butter Yellow plates, available in a 12” and 6⅜” size, enhance any locally sourced cuisine. The Blue Hen mug and bowl add a unique, yet soft, charm to the rustic feel of Farmhouse. Mix these with Farmhouse’s original cream white line to create a special presentation. Bowls and Platter The new Farmhouse bowls and platter bring a mixture of shapes and sizes to the table, completing the natural, organic feel of the tabletop for shared plates. The serving and pasta bowls are perfect for pastas, entrée salads or family-style serving, and the round platter is great for presenting group appetizers or wood-fired pizza. Honey Pot The Farmhouse cream white honey pot set is ideal for establishments that pride themselves on locally made honey or crave a distinct way to serve jellies, jams or sugar. Flatware Farmhouse flatware embraces the charm of individuality that is so important to authentic, organic tabletops. The six different flatware items feature their own unique, but complementary, detailed and intentionally mismatched handles. Each piece is only available in its unique handle style and may not be ordered individually. In addition, each piece is treated to replicate the nostalgic appeal of natural wear. Glassware and Infusion Jar Coming later this summer, the new Farmhouse glassware and infusion jar feature a rooster in their design, finalizing the look of a country fresh tabletop. The glasses range from a 9-oz. juice to a 20-oz. cooler. The 1.85-gallon infusion jar has a stainless steel spigot, perfect for serving trendy, health-infused waters, juices and teas.
