Cascade Pacific Essential Oils to Highlight Its Premium Peppermint Oil at the 2011 SWEETS & SNACKS EXPO®

CHICAGO, May 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Representatives of Cascade Pacific Essential Oils will be attending the May 24-26, 2011 National Confectioners Association SWEETS & SNACKS EXPO® in Chicago, which is the largest confectionery, candy, cookie and snack show in the Americas, to highlight Cascade Pacific's premium peppermint oil.

Cascade Pacific Essential Oils (http://www.cascadepacificpeppermint.com) is a vertically integrated and family-owned peppermint growing and peppermint oil production operation in Washington State and Oregon. Cascade Pacific produces approximately 4,000 acres of peppermint, and its mint oil distillation facility is one of the largest in the world in both size and capacity.

Cascade Pacific grows its peppermint in the fertile valleys near the Cascade Mountains of the Pacific Northwest, with pure water fed by mountain glaciers, and fresh, moist air from the Pacific Ocean. The rich volcanic soil and perfect climate conditions along the east slopes of the Cascade Mountains provide the optimum mix of essential nutrients and the best environment for growing some of the highest quality peppermint in the world.

As a result, Cascade Pacific's peppermint oil is pure and natural, and has a smooth flavor that is crisp and cool.

Additionally, Cascade Pacific's peppermint oil is stored in modern climate controlled warehouses that allow it to have a year-round stable supply of oil at affordable and consistent prices. Cascade Pacific also has a state-of-the-art laboratory with a gas chromatograph and a mass spectrometer to test and verify the chemical composition, quality and purity of its peppermint oil.

Through its modern custom blending and quality control process, each container (55-gallon drum or 5-gallon pail) of Cascade Pacific's peppermint oil is rigorously inspected and checked on a regular basis.

By growing and distilling all of its own peppermint, Cascade Pacific Essential Oils is able to provide a consistent and abundant supply of the finest quality peppermint oil to its customers at affordable and competitive prices.

In fact, because Cascade Pacific is a fully vertically integrated operation, its pricing is typically $1.00 to $1.50 per pound less expensive than U.S. peppermint oil from mint oil brokers. Furthermore, since Cascade Pacific grows it own peppermint and produces its own peppermint oil, it can guarantee a consistent supply and pricing.
