Contact #1: Reuben Schwartz ⭐ PRIMARY

Subject: Dry Goods Co-Packing Inquiry — Premium Italian Flour Line

Hi Reuben,

I saw the recent Times Union feature on Vital Eats — congratulations on the growth! Your small-batch, hands-on approach is exactly what I've been looking for.

I'm Jeff Schell, founder of Love, Jule. We're launching a premium specialty flour line — specifically, semi-deglutenized Italian wheat flour for health-conscious home bakers. It's a category that's popular in Italy but virtually unavailable in US retail.

I'm sourcing directly from Italian mills (some already export to the US) and need a domestic partner for packaging, labeling, and potentially some formulation support.

What caught my attention about Vital Eats:
- Your small-batch flexibility is ideal for our initial runs
- Recipe development expertise could help us dial in the perfect consumer product
- Albany location works well for Northeast distribution

I know your core focus is sauces — do you have capacity for dry goods packaging (specifically flour blends)? If so, I'd love to schedule a call to discuss.

Best,
Jeff Schell

Hi Jude,

I came across Vital Eats while researching co-packers for a specialty flour project. Your background with Puckers Gourmet caught my attention — you clearly understand artisanal food production.

I'm launching Love, Jule, a premium Italian flour brand targeting health-conscious bakers. Would love to connect and learn more about Vital Eats' capabilities.

Best,
Jeff

Subject: Export Inquiry — Deglutenized Wheat Starch to USA

Dear Mr. Bongiovanni,

I am reaching out regarding your deglutenized wheat starch products for potential export to the United States.

I'm Jeff Schell, founder of Love, Jule, a specialty flour brand launching in the American market. We're developing a premium deglutenized flour product and are seeking high-quality Italian deglutenized wheat starch as our core ingredient.

• Export capability and logistics to the USA
• FDA compliance documentation
• Minimum order quantities and pricing
• Visiting your facility during my Italy trip (late March / early April)

Would you or your export team be available for a brief call to discuss?
