		<description>Hi-My name is Michelle. Even though I had a stroke and it&#039;s difficult for me to travel, I make a point of visiting Whole Foods at least once weekly. The foods and products that you sell are outstanding. I&#039;m looking forward to purchasing Blumetti&#039;s Gourmet Food., At least two or three times a week I enjoy making pasta. As I watched the video, if you need a &quot;tester&quot;, I&#039;m in!!!

Stay Creative!!</description>

		<description>Thanks for putting local products on your shelves! BLUMETTI&#039;s of Rockwall, Tx. is a fantastic example of LOCAL products. That sauce is Delciosso! It is a healthy situation to have specialty items that are NOT shipped all over the country...keep the local charm! = )</description>

		<description>@Gloria: You are correct.  Blumetti&#039;s sauce is made in Dallas, so it&#039;s considered a local item only for those living in that part of the country. However, we source local products from many different parts of the US. This blog post is simply highlighting one of them.  Some of these locally produced products eventually receive national distribution but most of them remain small operations, and are only available in the areas in which they are made. Additionally, you can find a large variety of organic products at our stores.</description>

		<description>Your emphasis is on local but if you are supplying your stores nationwide with local products that were made in Texas such as Blumetti&#039;s sauces then that to me does not make it local, you are still shipping products accross country. Also he professes the ingredients to be natural which is a very genetic description of anything. There are many things on this earth that grow naturally but that does not deem them safe to eat. Gourmet,or natural does not qualify for safe to eat.  A case in point; poisonous mushrooms grow naturally!  I would prefer a larger emphasis on you supporting local companies with a view to having them use or produce organic products over a preference for Gourmet or natural. I can buy Gourmet or natural products at Von&#039;s or Ralph&#039;s or Stater Bros which does&#039;nt necessarily make them healthier or safer for consumption or the environment.</description>

		<description>At the end of November, I moved from Texas to North Carolina.  The only downside is that I have not been able to find Blumetti&#039;s marinara sauce in the stores here.  It is an outstandingly delicious sauce--one that replaces the sauce I used to make until I found Blumetti&#039;s.  It is beyond compare and it is not worth it for me to take the time and trouble to make a sauce that can be rivaled in this product.  I wish that Whole Foods would stock it in their stores in North Carolina.</description>
