JAVO BEVERAGE COMPANY EXPANDS RELATIONSHIP WITH YOCREAM INTERNATIONALJavo will become the principal supplier of coffee extracts for YoCream's ice cream and frozen yogurt products
SAN DIEGO, May 21, 2003 Javo Beverage Company (OTCBB JAVO), a manufacturer of coffee concentrates, extracts and beverages, today announced the expansion of its relationship with YoCream International (NASDAQ YOCM). Javo will become the principal supplier of coffee extracts for YoCream's ice cream and frozen yogurt products. The amount of premium coffee extract to be supplied to YoCream is expected to grow as YoCream expands the customer base for its coffee flavored products.
"Javo manufactures high-quality coffee extracts that add genuine coffee flavor to a variety of foods and beverages," said Cody C. Ashwell, chief executive officer of Javo Beverage Company. "Whether in an iced coffee beverage or in ice creams and frozen yogurts, today's consumers want robust, yet smooth coffee flavor that Javo can uniquely supply."
Javo Beverage Company's proprietary brewing technology captures the best elements of high-grade beans and leaves behind the bitter overtones found in coffee flavors using traditional extraction methods. The coffee extracts from Javo's new San Diego-area production facility are also low in naturally occurring acids and oils, providing superior stability to the products they flavor.
"After evaluating other coffee extracts, we chose Javo because the company's ingredients meet YoCream's stringent standards for quality and taste," said Frances Hanna, director of research and development at YoCream International. "The addition of Javo's coffee extract to our premium ice creams and frozen yogurts has resulted in products that our foodservice customers find appealing for their guests. Consumers looking for a rich coffee-flavored product will not be disappointed."
