on, things changed. The product offering was greater, the horizon was opening up. But there remained one problem, a huge problem: making yourself known.

That is to say, convincing grocery stores, restaurateurs, and the public in general that what I was offering was beautiful and good. It hasn&#8217;t been easy, needless to say.
