Origin
Donated by Paul and Senya Kalpake, Senya is Gus Manos daughter.
Sixty years ago, Gus Manos began Swiss Products with the introduction of an instant consommé for fine restaurants. Mr. Manos often brought new ideas to the executive chef of the Palmer House, Chicago, Il. Ernest E. Amiet, for his expert opinion. The renowned chef was so impressed, he soon joined Mr. Manos at Swiss Products, where he developed many of the recipes still in use.
