How Advanced Ginger Peelers Can Boost Your Ginger Paste Production Peeling ginger is a key part of producing high-quality ginger paste. Doing it manually is time-consuming and can affect the consistency and cleanliness of your product.

These peelers automate the peeling process, which means you don’t need as many workers, and you get perfectly peeled ginger every time.

Last week marked a significant step forward as we collaborated with bakery experts on sustainability. While breads aren't the biggest contributors to the environmental impact of the food industry, our deep dive into baguette and brioche revealed ways to reduce their impact without compromising quality. We discussed adapting production processes, using regenerative flour, altering fat types and decreasing fat content, removing eggs, and managing bread waste. This seminar laid a solid foundation for the future. Please contact us if you want to join our discussions or understand our solutions. At the same time, we had a great time collaborating!

On The Pass Hot Spot x Guillaume Thomas + Andrew Weir of Martingale Cognac Are you familiar with the three key tiers in Cognac production? These include the distillers, the grape growers, and those who age the eau-de-vie. In Cognac, it’s quite uncommon for a single brand to oversee every aspect of the process—growing grapes, distilling, and aging. However, our next guests are doing just that. Some might even say this challenger Cognac brand has been a century in the making. Our next guests, Guillaume Thomas and Andrew Weir, co-founders of Martingale Cognac, are no strangers to the spirits industry. Guillaume spent nearly a decade at Pernod Ricard as Chief Financial Officer for North America. He also comes from a family that has been producing Cognac since 1920. Andrew, on the other hand, worked for William Grant & Sons and also held a leadership role at Pernod Ricard, spearheading Aberlour Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Despite their impressive pedigrees and deep industry knowledge, nothing quite prepares you for the challenges of start-up life—especially in a time as turbulent as this, and in a category that is navigating its own set of challenges. Guillaume’s family at Maison Thomas, who have been growing grapes, distilling, and aging Cognac since 1920, are no strangers to change. They’ve endured numerous economic and political storms over the last century. And yet, despite their long history, they’ve never had their own brand—until now. Martingale, the French term for “doubling down,” perfectly embodies the vision of Guillaume, Andrew, and the entire team. They are doubling down on the Cognac category with an exciting new offering that strikes an exquisite balance of complexity and smoothness. Listen now to Episode 117 w/ Guillaume and Andrew: Apple: https://lnkd.in/gWW7e7gu Spotify: https://lnkd.in/gWZigd4i 🎧 On The Pass is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your podcasts. Connect with our host Gabriel Ornelas today. #OnThePass Special Thanks to Autumn Lewis Ana Calle Dylan Agajanian and the entire Martingale Cognac team!
