Seoul Juice
 |
Beverages |
Our founder, Luis Manta, first created Seoul Juice in his dorm room at Saint Louis University while playing for the varsity soccer team. He developed the idea his sophomore year after having a negative reaction to the artificial colors found in some of the most popular sports drinks. Luis tried to turn to natural alternatives, but he found them all unpalatable. After countless hours of research, Luis came across the amazing benefits and delicious taste of the Korean Pear, and Seoul Juice was born. |

Olyra
 |
Breakfast Biscuits |
Since the 20th century, my family has been milling grains. For five generations, love and dedication to our lands and crops is inherited from one generation to another. We work closely with a community of farmers to grow the same grains in the land of our ancestors. Our grains are traditionally stone-ground, using the tools of my great grandfather. Inspired by the practical wisdom, virtues and holistic life approach of Ancient Greeks, I came up with the unique recipe for Olyra Breakfast Biscuits. It's a harmonic combination of ancient grains, and flavorful, natural ingredients - all in an organic, non-GMO, whole grain breakfast biscuit, using absolutely nothing artificial. The perfect way to start your day! |

Salivation Snackfoods

Snacks |
At one point in our careers, we both found ourselves working for big, multinational food and beverage companies in their “fun food” divisions. Andrew in candy bars and Brad in fizzy fruit drinks. We loved working on products that delivered a lot of joy (the sugar part… not so much). Then our friend, Dave, went on a strict keto diet for health reasons, and it helped him. Big time. But there was a problem. Desserts. He loved desserts but couldn’t find any that aligned with his keto diet. And he wasn’t the only one. We started to realize that lots of our keto friends were in the same boat. And as we became dedicated to eating consciously and thoughtfully ourselves, we realized we weren’t eating joyfully. We started experimenting in our kitchens. Hundreds of recipes, dozens of keto-friendly ingredients. Lots of misfires, lots that were good but not good enough. We brought in pastry chefs and keto experts. Cocoa powder and avocado oil invaded our dreams. And then finally… We had it. A brownie. And we loved it. Rich, delicious, satisfying. Joyful. And only 3 net carbs. Our friends loved it too, and we couldn’t wait to share it with the world. We hope you enjoy. Warmly, Brad and Andrew |

St. Elmo Steak House
 |
Food Products |
Since the restaurant was founded in 1902, St. Elmo Steak House has become world famous for professional service, perfectly aged steaks, fiery shrimp cocktail, and award-winning cocktails. Over the years, St. Elmo has received national acclaim for their sinus-clearing cocktail sauce, and it became world-famous for its one-of-a-kind heat. Naturally, guests of the steakhouse, especially those traveling from outside of Indiana, frequently requested that the fiery cocktail sauce be bottled so they could enjoy it regularly at home. The popularity of the bottled sauce then led to packaging the famous steakhouse’s proprietary blend of seasoning, and the line of products has continued to grow. Today, St. Elmo Steak House products can be enjoyed nationwide. With items ranging from sauces and seasonings to steaks, and now ready-to-pour cocktails, you can enjoy the flavors from our beloved steak house right in your home. |
