Artisanal Brands, Inc., formerly known as American Home Foods Products, Inc. (OTCBB:AHFP), has announced the appointment of Joyce Maia, as Director of Sales. Prior to joining Artisanal, Ms. Maia held senior level buying and merchandising positions with upscale Manhattan-based specialty food retailer Agata & Valentina and prior to that with the premium supermarket chain, King's Supermarkets, Inc.

Daniel W. Dowe, President and Chief Executive Officer of Artisanal stated, ?As we expand our new retail program CheeseClock by Artisanal? into diverse retail trade channels, it is important that we continue to position Artisanal Premium Cheese as the premier brand in the specialty cheese category. With her long term experience as an in-store merchandiser of premium food products in different retail formats, we believe Joyce Maia will make a valuable contribution to the development and oversight of our day-to-day strategic and operating plans for the Artisanal brand.

?Additionally we are pleased to have launched our new retail program into select Whole Foods stores in the New York Metropolitan market and to wine stores operated by the Wine Styles Stores franchise operator. With our arrival in these new trade channels, the proper merchandising of our products is critical. Our CheeseClock ? and 4-color packaging system is gaining interest among retailers, and our focus is to achieve the sell-through at the store level. We have achieved repeated sell through of our products with New York supermarket chains, D'Agostino's and King Kullen as well as other specialty stores in the Tri-state region, and look forward to reaching more scalable levels of distribution in new markets throughout the USA. Developing an experienced sales organization to expand our business is a major step in our retail expansion plans and Joyce will bring her experience and knowledge to this process.?
