By Y.M. Lowy
Dee Voch is releasing a major new issue, hitting store shelves and subscribers’ doors today, marking one of the most ambitious projects the magazine has ever undertaken.
Spanning more than 200 pages, the Food Edition is the first time a heimish publication has devoted an entire issue to the kosher food world in such depth. The project explores the full scope of the kosher food industry, from production and Kashrus supervision to branding, packaging, and consumer trends.
The issue features dozens of companies, stores, and brands, along with in-depth articles and interviews that take readers inside factories and kitchens. Together, it offers a wide look at how kosher food is made, sold, and constantly reinvented.
The issue opens with a conversation with a mashgiach, offering an inside look at the daily responsibilities and challenges of kosher supervision.
Readers are then taken to view inside the broccoli fields of B’gan in South America, exploring how checked produce is grown and prepared to meet strict standards.
The Food Edition also includes a deep dive into Cholov Yisroel, with an inside look at the Mehadrin empire and how a major milchig company operates.
In a fascinating interview, R’ Avraham Yosef Greenwald, known as the chassidish food scientist, explains how new food products are developed from idea to shelf.
Another article breaks down what really goes into packaging design, examining the thought, planning, and strategy behind what consumers see before they ever taste the product.
The issue also looks at famous foods that were invented by accident, telling the stories behind “delicious mistakes” that became household staples.
An in-depth interview with Norman’s Dairy Factory takes readers behind the scenes of milchig production.
There is also a conversation with the owner of Bloom’s, the popular snack company, on building a brand that turned into the one our children grab each day.
For something lighter, one feature explores unusual and amusing food-related court cases that found their way into legal history.
Readers are invited along on a visit to the food museum with Dee Voch, offering a unique perspective on food around the world with different cuisines.
Another article focuses on minhagim and mesoros in the chassidish kitchen, with insights from R’ Shlomo Hersh Eckstein.
Another feature looks at foods that turned into trends, tracing how niche items became today’s must-have bites.
The Food Edition features in-depth articles and interviews with a wide range of companies from across the kosher food world, including the following:
