hey welcome to gourmet glut cedarhurst
our flagship store
i'm standing here by our fresh herbs
checked right here in gourmet glass and
we're going to give you a peek today
behind the scenes of how this makes its
way to the shelf
welcome to the gourmet glad kitchen
where all of your produce that requires
checking is processed come in and you
will see the wonderous process that we
are blessed with here in the five towns
this room is the brain child
of the administrative
arm of gourmet glott
moshe ratner yoily steinberg who really
led
the
vision of this incredible room
which has been
customized and designed
for the processing of large quantities
of produce that requires specific
inspection
common let's look at how it this all
starts
this process
is called the pre-check the pre-check
consists of
taking the sample
washing it in this area
which is specifically designed to take
the product and to examine to see
how
the product could fear through the
washing process
a few years ago
gourmet glock did something extremely
unique that i believe no one else does
and they actually have people in the
hunts market
making the rounds there in middle of the
night when we're all sleeping
and examining product they have an r d
room over there that they rent out so
even before
a pre-check is done in this sink the
product has already come in that has
been already approved by the rabbi in
the mashiach in hunts point the evening
the night before so after we have taken
the product we've tested the product in
the pre-check area
and then we if it's a if it's rejected
then it goes right back
it's not used but if it's not rejected
and it's ready so we go into the next
steps the next steps are the breaking
apart of the product which happens on
this table and then we begin with the
pre-rinse
and washing of the
product you see over here
a bank of six sinks where all that is
done
product is soaked in
type of a
soapy solution which allows any insects
or anything that's not supposed foreign
matter that is on the product to be
loosened
and then they soak it
and after soaking they
rinse it and then what they use is a
very specially designed system that's
used throughout the casters industry
that does
inspection and processing of produce
what they do actually is after the
product is removed and the water is
drained they take those strainers they
put it inside the
this cup
and allows two strainers with the thrip
cloth in between and then they allow the
water to drain
after the water drains the rabbi takes
the cloth with
the water having got all the water all
the soaking water all the rinsing water
has now gone through those strainers
they take the thrip cloth they bring it
over to the examining area right over
here they examine the drip cloth
for
the presence of insects if there are any
insects we go back to the drawing board
we go back and rinse it there's zero
tolerance and they go back to do the
processing again but at this station the
rabbi is able to take the thrip cloth
and very clearly because the light is
under the thrip cloth it illuminates
everything upward and you're able to see
the full picture
and besides this light if you notice
there is another light so therefore the
incredible
panorama of lights they have lights all
over the place lights on the bottom
lights on the top to be able to actually
have precision checking to make sure
that the end product will be completely
best hashem totally insect free now the
last step is that if it pierces this
station now what we're ready to do is we
are actually ready to
go ahead and process the product
and after we process the product we then
are able to package the product
[Music]
it's important to know that if through
this process the rabbi finds that even
after all the preparation of the hunts
market and the pre-check and the washing
and the product turns out to be
infested in spite of all of that you
know what happens at times the gourmet
glot
takes a loss and throws away
all of that produce that they deem
not washable and checkable
there's an ongoing payroll of five
employees and also one of the most
sought after
rabona mahshirim of the deacon cerakus
in the country coming from a renowned
family and he is over here procured in
the five towns working diligently to lay
for nephesh to make sure that we're able
to enjoy the best tasting product
being served to you
