Catsmo Artisan Smokehouse

Located in the Hudson Valley of New York, Catsmo Artisan Smokehouse has been smoking salmon for over 20 years. The salmon we use is always fresh and never frozen, giving it a uniquely silky texture, deep orange color. The salmon is smoked on fruit or oak wood, depending on the flavor. Working in conjunction with Catsmo since 2012, Solex is proud to offer one of the few producers of fresh smoked salmon on the market! www.catsmo.com

Noir Caviar

NOIR Caviar is a confluence of like-minded gourmets. The goal was to create a luxury caviar brand that met their own high standards of quality as well as aesthetic beauty. Quality caviar must have a bright glossy color, fresh, mild smell, uniformly sized eggs, and lightly salty flavor, NOIR caviar meets all of those criteria. To ensure their goal, caviar is sourced from only the best sturgeon farms around the world and every shipment is graded as it arrives to ensure that only the best makes it into the NOIR Caviar line. To appreciate these efforts one only needs to try NOIR Caviar. The result speaks for itself.

Kriemhild Dairy Farms

Kriemhild “Dairy Farms, pronounced cream-hil-d, comes from the name of the original Holstein herd of holstein-friesian cattle that were born, raised and registered in the United States. This particular herd holds a unique value as our farm is located just a few short miles from Peterboro, NY, where the herd resided in 1929, raised by Gerrit Smith Miller, grandson of the famous abolitionist, Gerrit Miller. While we are not focused on breeds and enjoy the diversity of a mixed breed herd, we recognize the importance of history and the path that was paved to make this area the beautiful and viable dairy country that exists today.  www.kriemhilddairy.com

Rumi Spice

At Rumi Spice we strive to provide high-quality, sustainably farmed saffron to US consumers by sourcing directly from rural Afghan farmers in an economic partnership. We reinvest our profits to build the agricultural and manufacturing infrastructure necessary to lay a foundation for peace and prosperity. In previous years, neglect of the rural Afghan majority contributed to the rise of the Taliban, who capitalized on historic grievances. Without investment in agriculture, Afghan farmers have little prospects with shrinking land allotments – making them susceptible to the Taliban. Rumi Spice strives to change this dynamic. We provide Afghan farmers with a direct market to produce and sell saffron globally.  www.rumispice.com
