How Mason Jars Became the Secret Ingredient in Craft Food & Beverage Success

From specialty cold brews to small-batch hot sauces, the craft food and beverage movement is redefining how we enjoy artisanal products. But behind many of these success stories is an unexpected hero: the humble yet versatile Mason jar. At Xuzhou Troy, we’ve partnered with innovative brands to turn this classic container into a powerful tool for growth.
