    Los Angeles, CA (March 8, 2017) – At the intersection of Gourmet Dr.&Health Ave., where no corners are cut,expenses spared or compromises made, one finds HNINA GOURMET.

    Today, best-in-class chocolate, snacks and spreads companybased in La-La-Land,it was thebrainchild of French born, Vanessa (Hnina) Morgenstern-Kenan.

    Vanessa grew up on divinely sinful French truffles! When pregnant with twins, Vanessa craved chocolate!!!! Risking gestational diabetes she needed the healthy kind but could not find any befitting her French foufou taste and Cali wellness-know-it-allness...as if French arrogance wasn't enough. Yes, girl's got her standards.

    They say necessity is the mother of invention, and this mom started inventing. Borrowing inspiration from her Tunisian and Eastern European ancestral matriarchs' kitchens, Vanessa first created her uncompromisingly gourmet AND healthy CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES. This began as a personal stash for her and her babies but in 2014 Vanessa launched HNINA GOURMET with her husband and partner Ron Kenan.

    The HNINA Standard was set and rules had to be followed!

    • ORGANIC NON-GMO (there was no Monsanto in grandma's Tunisia),
    • RAW CACAO (how to make a super food even super-er),
    • SPROUTED NUTS & SEEDS (grandma used to soak her raw almonds, had no clue why, but now we know that nutrition and bio-availability go through the roof!),
    • NOURISHING SWEETENERS (what's better than non-inflammatory raw honey, pure maple syrup and dates...sorry, coconut sugar, agave and others are cleverly marketed as healthy but are anything but!),
    • PURE VANILLA BEAN (pas d'extrait ou synthetics!),
    • NO ADDITIVES (or other useless junk ingredients!),et finalement
    • SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING (even the see through cello bags are made of bio-degradable wood cellulose).
    HNINA GOURMET Founder & CEO, Vanessa (Hnina) Morgenstern Kenan say "When we come to Expo in 2017 we're not just a chocolate company anymore." HNINA GOURMET has since grown to offer a broad line of products:

    NUTS ABOUT CHOCOLATE Sprouted Spreads! Had enough of that NUT-otherf-ELLA? Enter, HNINA Standards! Organic raw cacao, sprouted nuts, dates, pure vanilla bean and nothing else! Three of HNINA's most popular truffle varieties were translated into sprouted spreads with Hazelnut+Almond, Walnut+Cashew and Coconut+Almond+Brazil Nut. Vanessa explains, "We really want both moms and kids to enjoy these delicious healthy spreads instead of sugar and palm oil filled product. We hope that mom and Hninaman, our new nut superhero character on the label, will help kids understand that nourishing natural superfoods are their true superheroes!"

    SPROUTED NUTS & SEEDS in Pure Maple Syrup Snacks! Same uncompromising HNINA Standards! Organic, Sprouted, Healthy Sweetener, No Junk! They feature two varieties: Almond+Hazelnut+Pistachio and Pumpkin+Flax+Sunflower+Sesame, just lightly sweetened in the highest grade pure maple. They come in two sizes, 4 & 8 oz.

    PURE BAR CHOCOLATES The truffles were a hit with chocolate connoisseurs and the purists demanded the same 88% dark organic raw single-origin, grand-cru cacao (yes, same term used in fine French wines), but in bar form, sans nuts & seeds. That ushered in the next product line of pure bar chocolate in four sizes, Bb , Mademoiselle, Madame & Monsieur.

    CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES HNINA's flagship award winning product of individual truffles and assortments feature seven combinations of sprouted nuts & seeds, raw cacao, raw honey, pure maple and vanilla bean in four sizes, Pebble, Rock, Boulder & Brick.

    Companies either quickly perish, stagnate, or power through and grow. The business is tough and challenges are enormous, but what drives Vanessa and HNINA GOURMET is the knowledge that what she creates is uniquely and uncompromisingly healthy AND gourmet and arguably best-in-class.In fact, last week The Good For You Chocolate Guide in goop chose HNINA GOURMET as the ONLY truffle making the cut.

    Is the world ready for the marriage of French Gourmet and Cali Health Values? It sure as H should be! So if you would please approach, carefully and wisely, the intersection of Gourmet Dr. & Health Ave. we would be very pleased to introduce you to HNINA GOURMET.

    Natural Products Expo West will be held from March 10-12, 2017 at the Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim, CA. HNINA invites show attendees to stop by and try out all of their products at booth number 8016. For more information on HNINA GOURMET, please visit: www.hninagourmet.com.
