Cuisine Solutions, a manufacturer of fully cooked, frozen and prepared foods, has partnered with Golden Bison to develop a new line of sous-vide bison dishes.
Scheduled for launch in retail stores in early 2014, the Plain Smart product line will include dishes such as Bison Bourguignon and Bison Flat Iron Steaks.
Sous-vide is a cooking technique pioneered by Cuisine Solutions in which food is vacuum sealed in plastic bags and slow-cooked in water at a precise temperature. It seals in moisture to enhance food's natural flavors and eliminates the need for artificial additives or preservatives.
Cuisine Solutions Retail Brands vice president Marc Brennet said, "We are proud to partner with Golden Bison and bring about the perfect combination of meat and cooking technique. Together we can deliver consumers healthy, gourmet dishes that taste like they were prepared in a restaurant kitchen."
The company is sampling some of the new dishes at PLMA's Private Label Tradeshow being held from 17-19 November in Chicago.
