Sardines Extreme Makeover

Consumers Attracted to Royal Blackwood’s Upscale Packaging and Taste of Gourmet Sardines with Protein and No Carbohydrates

New York – March 25, 2004 /Xpress Press/ Consumers fighting an upstream battle towards a low-carbohydrate diet with protein included have a new gourmet food choice in Royal Blackwood Wood Smoked Sardines.

Royal Blackwood’s Wood Smoked Sardines are a good source of protein, calcium and contain no carbohydrates. Omega-3 essential fatty acids and vitamins can also be found in this small and delicate fish.

The Royal Blackwood brand is new to the U.S. market although its sardines are one of the most successful food products sold in the European market.

“Market Link chose Royal Blackwood sardines as the debut product for the U.S. market because it is a category leader and can be sold for less than competing products in the U.S.,” said Market Link founder, Alex Rubin.

If all goes as planned, the canned sardines should be swimming off supermarket shelves helped along by Royal Blackwood’s upscale and elegant packaging.

“Royal Blackwood is widely respected for its ability to process richly flavored, traditional wood smoked sardines, without using any chemicals,” added Mr. Rubin. “These sardines are gathered from the Baltic Sea. The best of the catch is hand-picked, then carefully smoked over fires of black alder wood from local forests. This natural wood smoking tradition yields incomparable flavor without the use of smoke-flavored additives often contained in other products.”

Royal Blackwood’s delectable gourmet product is available packed in spring water, pure olive oil or soy bean oil. Additional flavors include tomato sauce and mustard sauce. One 3.9 ounce can contains roughly 12 small sardines.

What’s the best way to enjoy Royal Blackwood’s sardines? According to Mr. Rubin, the company recommends just one very simple recipe. “Spread the fish on your favorite bread, and you’ll be a fan forever!”

Royal Blackwood Wood Smoked Sardines are available in Shop Rite, White Rose specialty markets, natural food stores and directly from the company.
