Gabriella’s Kitchen Confirms Its Cannabis-Infused alto™ Products Have Launched in Northern California
November 2, 2018 MJ Shareholders
GABY offers a variety of alto™ products including a line infused with cannabis-derived cannabinoids (including CBD and THC) which are part of GABY’s “better-for-you” edibles line, the first such line to be offered, representing an entirely new approach to cannabis-infused products. The initial alto™ products released consist of infused, flavored olive oils, including an extra virgin olive oil, a truffle-infused olive oil, and a garlic-infused olive oil. In addition to the flavour-infusion, all are further infused with CBD or with a combination of CBD and THC, with a dosage per bottle (8 servings per bottle) ranging from 20 mg to 72 mg of THC (2. 5 mg to 5 mg per serving) and 36 mg to 96 mg of CBD (4.5 mg to 4 mg per serving). For those wishing to enjoy alto™ without cannabinoids, GABY sells uninfused alto™ products on its website: www.gabriellas-kitchen.com
“We are extremely pleased to be adding the altoTM line into our product family,” states Aaron Browe, Chief Executive Officer at Sonoma Pacific Distribution, a distributor of cannabis products in California. “The needs of the cannabis consumer are evolving, and the altoTM brand is filling a much-needed gap in this market; Gabriella’s Kitchen is a trailblazer and we are excited to see the evolution and growth of this brand.”
GABY’s alto™ line represents an extension of the Company’s existing established portfolio of healthy and nutritional meals, sauces and other “better-for-you” products currently sold in over 3,400 mainstream retailers across the United States and Canada. The alto™ products provide consumers with an innovative way to enhance their healthy living by supplementing every day ingredients with the health benefits offered by CBD and THC. In addition to this initial offering of infused oils, GABY is in various stages of development of additional and further differentiated products that it plans to launch over the coming weeks and into early 2019. The Company’s Infused Products are an ideal complement to the Aunt Zelda’s™ line of topicals, tinctures and concentrates, which was acquired by GABY through the acquisition of The Oil Plant (“TOP“), the closing of which was announced on October 16, 2018.
“We are very excited to see our altoTM products being shipped to California dispensaries, enabling customers to supplement their healthy living practices with delicious and nutritious options of infused cooking oils,” said Margot Micallef, Founder and CEO of Gabriella’s Kitchen. “We are particularly pleased that alto™ was introduced to the market by our very own distribution company, Sonoma Pacific Distribution, following the announcement of the acquisition of that company only last week”.
GABY’s growth strategy is centered around creating value for both consumers and investors by filling the void that exists between the medical and recreational cannabis markets and serves to position the Company well to leverage its early mover advantage in the developing cannabis wellness market. Through a combination of both acquisitions and organic growth, GABY intends to continue creating long-term shareholder value. The accretive value of the Company’s acquisition strategy is evidenced by how quickly GABY was able to leverage the Sonoma Pacific Distribution transaction into potential revenue through the distribution of its altoTM products into the California market, which is expected to be followed by expansion into other potential markets in the future.
