Onesto Foods
 |
Food |
Onesto means "honest" in Italian. Jane and her husband grew up in vibrant Italian-American families where food was the heart of every celebration and milestone. Their weekends were filled with huge, delicious antipasto platters surrounded by friends and family, sharing laughter and countless stories. When their daughter faced a gluten allergy, she couldn’t bear to part with her favorite food: crackers. Determined to keep family traditions alive, Jane searched for gluten-free options but found only overly processed ones. So, she crafted her own recipe, promising to only use honest ingredients. Jane’s crackers quickly stole the show at local dinner parties and gatherings where people had no idea the crackers were gluten-free. Now, as a favorite cracker in markets and cafes across the country, Onesto is proving that honest food is the best food and gluten-free doesn’t mean flavor-free. |

Tilden Cocktails
 |
Non-Alcoholic Beverages |
Meet Mariah and Vanessa, the founders of Tilden. Vanessa quit drinking alcohol in 2020 and was disappointed by the lack of sophisticated non-alcoholic drink options at bars, restaurants, and dinner parties. She wanted something flavorful, low in sugar, and devoid of mind-altering ingredients. Vanessa voiced her frustrations and pitched her vision to classmates at Harvard Business School and found a kindred spirit in Mariah, a lifelong teetotaler from Las Vegas. Together they set out to create non-alcoholic social beverages that would change the way society thinks about celebrating. Prototypes, concocted by hand in Mariah’s kitchen, were tasted, tested, sold, and refined until the team perfected the elements of a true social beverage - something to be sipped, swirled, and savored. With careful attention to aroma, mouthfeel, and flavors, each of Tilden's non-alcoholic cocktails delivers a flavorful experience with a beginning, middle, and finish. Vanessa and Mariah are passionate about fostering deeper, more authentic social moments. Cheers to that! |
