Gold Pure Food Products Co., Inc. is an American family-owned food-manufacturing company located in Hempstead, New York. Primarily known for manufacturing horseradish, the company is also known for condiments such as mustard, duck sauce, cocktail sauce, salsa and wasabi sauce. Its primary markets are on the East Coast; however, many of Gold's products can be found throughout the United States, and also Brazil, England, South Africa, Russia, Israel and Australia. In 1996, Gold's held a 70-percent share of the horseradish market.〔Gallagher, Kevin (November 1996). "Family-Run Gold's Pure Food Products to Celebrate 65 Years of Grinding Horseradish". ''Griffin's Modern Grocer''. p. 44.〕 ==History== In 1932, Gold's was founded by Tillie and Hyman Gold in their Brooklyn, New York, apartment building, where Tillie grated and bottled horseradish by hand. Soon, their children, Morris, Herbert and Manny started helping their father with deliveries, using their bikes and the train as transportation.〔Lewis, Bea (April 8, 1987). "A Family That Knows Its Roots". ''Newsday''. p. 1.〕 "My father and I would go by train and he would sell horseradish to the merchants in the area," Morris Gold said. "But I would stay in the station on train side of the turnstile because the profit would be that nickel fare."〔Kreda, Allan (September 9, 1996). "Success Goes Back to the Roots for First Family of Horseradish". Associated Press (via the ''Chicago Tribune''). p. 6.〕 The sons built up the business, and by 1956, they needed a bigger working space. So the company built a custom factory from the ground up at 895-905 McDonald Avenue in the Kensington neighborhood of Brooklyn, which the company would call home until 1994, when it settled in Hempstead. Not wanting to stray from their Brooklyn roots, Marc, Steve, Neil and Howard decided to rename the street where the factory currently sits to 1 Brooklyn Road in Hempstead. Former Brooklyn Borough president Howard Golden talked about the move: "Gold's is a vital part of our borough's history. While we regret the departure of this local institution, its legendary horseradish has been, and will continue to be, a tradition that belongs to Brooklyn."〔Peterson, Helen (February 10, 1993). "First Dodgers, & Now Gold's, Quit Brooklyn". ''Daily News''. p. KSI 2.〕 As of 1992, the company was owned and operated by Morris' children, Marc and Steve, and Herbert's children, Neil and Howard.〔Brock, Carol (September 8, 1992). "The Horseradish That Came to Be as Good as Gold's". ''Daily News''. p. 1.〕 Melissa, Steven's daughter, has been working there since 2002, bringing Gold's into its fourth generation.〔Ain, Stewert (April 10, 2005). ("L.I. @ Work; Concerning The Market In Horseradish" ). ''The New York Times''.〕 Gold's is home to the largest root cellar in the world. Gold's was quoted by ''Crain's New York Business'' newspaper as "the largest player in the domestic market for processed horseradish," and "makes more horseradish at its plant than any other manufacturer in the country..."〔Temes, Judy (January 14, 1991). "Brooklyn Family Seeks Gold in Hot Horseradish Market. ''Crain's New York Business''. p. 7.〕 In the mid-1990s, the New York Mets began using Gold's mustard at the concession stands.〔Ziegel, Vic (March 28, 2004). "Mets Get Gold Stamp of Approval".
