SALEM BAKING COMPANY DEBUTS SPRINGTIME SHORTBREAD COOKIES
Limited Edition Flavors Include Meyer Lemon, Blood Orange, Wild Blueberry, and Key Lime

Winston-Salem, N.C., January 17, 2016 – Salem Baking Company has introduced limited edition seasonal Shortbread Cookies for spring in Meyer Lemon, Blood Orange, Wild Blueberry, and Key Lime. The cookies will debut at the Winter Fancy Food Show in San Francisco at booth #530.

“Our chefs have redefined classic shortbread to create the perfect combination of sweet and tart,” said Scott Livengood, president and CEO of Salem Baking Company. “We used ingredients like cold pressed Blood orange oil, Meyer lemon oil and key lime oil, in addition to real wild blueberries to create a flavorful and satisfying treat for the spring season.”

Salem Baking Company’s chefs used only the finest and most essential ingredients to create these rich, buttery shortbread cookies. Creamy butter, finely milled wheat flour and whole eggs combine to create a dense, flavorful cookie that’s free from preservatives, artificial colors and artificial flavors.

The cold pressed oils in the three citrus flavors are essential to achieve the very best flavor. The oil is produced by pressing or grinding fruit at a low temperature, which allows it to retain the full flavor and nutrients of the fruit.

Packaged in beautiful 5-ounce gable boxes with an SRP of just $5.99, they’re ideal for giving as a hostess gift, serving to guests and pairing with ice cream or tea.

These new products will be available for a limited time. Wild Blueberry and Meyer Lemon will be available to ship in February, and Key Lime and Blood Orange will ship in March.
