San Carlos, CA, May 31, 2004 — Melanie's Fine Foods is pleased to announce Milagro Mole - "A miracle in a bottle", the latest in the Big Acres'Sauces line. This miraculous mix includes four dried chiles, tomatoes, bananas, raisins, peanuts, pumpkin seeds and real Mexican chocolate and is available this May from Melanie's Fine Foods and select retail locations. This complex sauce makes a perfect addition to pork, beef, chicken, turkey, duck, rice, enchiladas, vegetables, and even tofu. Taste Big Acres Milagro Mole and believe!

"Mole" (pronounced mo-leh) is believed to be the Aztec word for sauce and is considered the national dish of Mexico. Offered in numerous styles and flavors primarily in the Mexican States of Oaxaca and Puebla, Moles are a blending of dried chiles, seeds, nuts, fruits, vegetables, spices, and Mexican chocolate. Most moles contain more than 20 ingredients.

Big Acres Milagro Mole is a rich red sauce that works well with chicken (see recipe below), pork or beef and can be served hot over rice with meat or vegetables. The 12.5-ounce bottle is perfect for quick weekday meals and weekend entertaining. Containing only all-natural ingredients and free of preservatives, MSG, dairy and other additives, Milagro Mole joins the Big Acres Sauces line that includes our Chipotle Peanut Sauce, Mango Peach Chile Sauce, Teriyaki Marinade, Hot & Spicy Barbeque Sauce and Rich & Mild Barbeque Sauce.

"Milagro Mole is the direct result of my passion for chiles and Mexican food and an ongoing quest for the 'perfect' Mole," said Melanie Yunk, CEO of Melanie's Fine Foods. "Our customers are very excited about this one-of-a-kind sauce."

Available through Melanie's Fine Foods, Milagro Mole is available in a ready-to-pour bottle individually, by the case or in combination with our other Big Acres Sauces in a three-sauce gift package featuring the customer's selection of sauces. Milagro Mole is available at suggested retail price of $6.50.

"Now our customers can serve an authentic Mexican specialty in the middle of the week," said Kent Yunk, vice president, Melanie's Fine Foods.
