EnWave Announces 100% Organic Certification for Commercial Licensee, Napa Mountain Spice Company

EnWave Corporation (TSX-V:ENW | FSE:E4U) (“EnWave”, or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Napa Mountain Spice Company (“Napa Mountain”), a commercial licensee of the Company, has received the designation of 100% Organic Food Processing from the State of California and a third party certifier, Organic Certifiers, for their dehydration process that is built around Radiant Energy Vacuum (“REV™”) technology. A relatively small, but increasing number of crops and processors are certified organic and only a fraction of these are certified ‘100% Organic’ in the United States of America each year. Only products made entirely with certified organic ingredients and methods can be labeled 100% Organic.

Napa Mountain’s organic California bay leaves are handpicked and carefully dried to ensure they maintain their integrity and essential oils for the freshest flavor possible. By using EnWave’s nutraREV®machinery for their drying process, Napa Mountain maximizes the flavor due to the low drying temperature created by EnWave’s patented technology.  Since starting commercial production, Napa Mountain has secured product approval from several key customers and plans to continue aggressively marketing their improved product line to a number of new potential customers throughout 2014 and beyond.

 “The EnWave system allows us to gain further ground in all three of our target priorities of process integrity and efficiency, superior product quality and cost reduction,” stated Mr. Paul Attard, President of Napa Mountain. “We are now enabled to offer 100% Organic certified products at conventional product pricing.”

“Napa Mountain’s certification is a very encouraging development as it establishes REV™ technology as a suitable process for the production of 100% Organic products,” stated Dr. Tim Durance, Chairman and Co-CEO of EnWave. “This could attract additional interest from companies operating in the growing organic food market.”
