Grim though it may seem, there was a time when people thought all coffee was the same. It was a time when there were no trendy espresso shops. A time when the term “Arabica” was not part of the average American’s vocabulary. A time when coffee usually arrived in a tin cylinder. A time called 1975. nd while most young Americans were perfecting their disco moves, one young man, Jeffrey Cohn, focused instead on a new venture—launching a specialty coffee company. Having grown up in a family of coffee entrepreneurs (his grandfather was the founder of coffee giant Superior Coffee), Cohn wanted to provide people with a higher-quality coffee than the one they could get to with a can opener—one that people could enjoy solely on the merits of flavor. In 1977, his vision became a reality with the establishment of “The Brewing Market” in Boulder, Colorado. Soon after opening his second shop in 1980, Cohn began roasting his own beans on-site, exposing Boulder to authentic, freshly roasted specialty coffees for the first time. In 1985, increasing demand in the wholesale market prompted Cohn to sell the Brewing Market and launch Allegro Coffee Company, an import, roasting and wholesale distribution venture. Cohn’s insistence on using only the purest quality ingredients and traditional, handcrafted roasting methods sparked the interest of Boulder’s natural foods retailers just as natural foods markets were beginning a phase of dynamic, nationwide expansion.

Mountain Valley Spring Water is pristine, naturally high pH water, containing a nice selection of minerals like calcium carbonate, iron, manganese and even a trace amount of fluoride. Devotees of our water claim it not only tastes refreshing, but it has a certain “mouth feel” other holistic water options do not possess. Our natural spring water has twice won the title of “Best Tasting Non-Carbonated Bottled Water in the World” at the prestigious Berkley Springs International Water Tasting Competition. Many teams of geologists have tested the natural spring source over the years and have determined that the water takes up to 3,500 years for the rain falling on Cedar Mountain to travel to the deep aquifer and return as Mountain Valley Spring Water. The natural filtering of this ancient water and the minerals it collects along the way make it different from many other bottled water sources.

Like many old world pasta products, our story begins in the early 1900’s, with the Pucci family immigrating to the United States from Italy. In 1922, the Pucci’s opened up the Cicero Macaroni Company to manufacture noodles of all different shapes and sizes for local restaurants and pasta sellers. Robert B. Strom, Chairman of Strom Products, Ltd. purchased the factory in 1968, and many of the old world pasta-making techniques and recipes were passed down to him. Bob continued to build the company, making it a major manufacturer of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and many other products. In 1976, with the invention of No Yolks Noodles, the world's first no-cholesterol noodle, Strom Products launched a whole new chapter in it's noode-making life. Today Strom markets a number of different shapes and sizes of No Yolks Noodles, Wacky Mac Pasta and Wacky Mac Macaroni and Cheese Dinner. With quality and the highest standards in mind, no other Pasta maker can match the taste, texture and nutritional value of Strom Products!

VRANKEN-POMMERY operates subsidiaries in Belgium, Germany, Portugal, Switzerland, the UK, and the US. Founder and president Paul-Franois Vranken owns some 70% of VRANKEN-POMMERY.

Holsten-Brauerei AG also distributes brands including Astra, Duckstein, Feldschlosschen, L�bzer, Landskron, and Tuborg.

Carlsberg Breweries purchased a majority stake in the German brewer in 2004. Under Carlsberg, Holsten is focusing on selling beer in northern Germany and has sold many of its subsidiaries, including its water and nonalcoholic beverage units. The company was founded in 1879.
