The Fremont Co., Fremont, Ohio, has launched a specialty foods division, Fremont Authentic Brands, and is seeking to acquire or partner with new companies and develop products to release through Fremont's existing distribution channel. Fremont Authentic Brands will focus exclusively on products for the specialty foods market.

“The Fremont Company has produced one of the country’s most authentic brands for over 100 years: Frank’s Sauerkraut,” says Chris Smith, Vice President of the Fremont Co. “We are uniquely attuned to the real tastes and flavors that consumers are looking for and are actively developing brands that represent the truest regional and cultural flavors available.”

The Fremont Authentic Brands portfolio features the following specialty brand lineup, including new Martinez Gourmet Salsa:

Frank’s Sauerkraut: Frank’s has set the standard for the taste of sauerkraut for more than 100 years. Available in original and Bavarian Style, Frank’s is an iconic natural choice when a recipe calls for sauerkraut.

Mississippi Barbeque Sauce: A favorite from kitchens to cooking competitions, Mississippi Barbeque Sauce is thick and savory, and described as “blending the sweetness of Chicago, the mellow tang of Memphis and the spices of New Orleans.”

Martinez Gourmet Salsa: Created by the Martinez family, Martinez Salsa has been enjoyed for generations in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico; through Fremont Authentic Brands, this truly Mexican fire-roasted salsa now is available in the United States in Red Hot, Medium, Mild, Peach and Raspberry flavors.

Fremont Authentic Brands plans to release several new products each year, representing the most recognizable, sought-after and commercially appealing foods of a particular region or culture.
