This is why we taste test hundreds of foods annually to find only the top quality products—those we would want to eat ourselves. While we do realize that the ingredients we select generally cost a bit more than those used elsewhere, we feel the quality makes them worth the relatively small added expense. Within our brochure you will find a few terms used to describe the beef that we purchase. All of our beef roasts and steaks are “Choice Grade” and are“Wet Aged.” This means that they are well marbled with fat to produce great tenderness, juiciness and flavor. “Choice Grade” is widely regarded as a superior level to the grades that most restaurants and Voted Upper Valley’s Best Caterer caterers use. The wet aging process brings the meat to the optimum tenderness possible. since 1999. For our barbecues, we have chosen top quality Angus beef hamburgers and natural casing — Market Surveys of America hot dogs instead of using lower grade meats with by-products. Our Grade A chicken and pork products are produced by farmers committed to not using growth hormones or harmful feed products at their USDA inspected farms. Our chefs use only the freshest fruits, vegetables, and dairy products from New England regional farms whenever possible. Our environmentally friendly commitment goes beyond the food we serve to the disposable tableware that we use. Our “green” paper products are made in America from renewable plant materials and are designed to compost faster than regular petroleum based plastic products. See for yourself why so many people in the Upper Valley have chosen Blood’s for their special event catering and voted us the #1 Caterer for the past 14 years in a row. Blood’s has partnered with King Arthur Flour to provide our Artisan breads and rolls as well as the desserts for our Simple Elegance and Dessert Station menus. Their commitment to using top quality ingredients and traditional methods of baking, ensure that all of their products are far superior to that of the mass produced, commercial products that are widely marketed today. 10 Rental, Catering, BAR SERVICE – 802.295.5393 Alcohol Catering “My wife and I attended a wedding in Norwich on Labor Day weekend and I wanted to comment on the excellence of your service, quality of food and overall difficulty of serving hot food under a tent.
