Saco Foods-owned California Sun Dry has released Sun-Dried Tomato Bruschetta, responding to consumer demands for all-natural spreads and conveniently packaged snack foods.
Consisting of fresh tomatoes, diced onions, a zesty herb blend, and sun-dried tomatoes, the spread marks California Sun Dry’s first ready-made appetiser.
Retailing in the US for $4.49 per 9oz jar, the bruschetta is said to be adaptable for a variety of uses.
Charles Olin, vice president of sales and marketing at Saco Foods, said: “We’re excited to expand our segment in the produce category. We’ve come up with a recipe that meets shoppers’ snacking needs, making it easy to enjoy a fast and healthy bite or serve to a crowd.”
California Sun Dry said the bruschetta spread is adaptable for a wide variety of uses.
Saco Foods vice president of sales Pam Statz added: “We approached the creation of this product by looking at what is trending in consumer purchasing and came up with a solution that meets the growing interest in healthy diets and elevated snack platters. It appeals to ingredient-conscious consumers at a price that is accessible to all.”
California Sun Dry’s product portfolio includes jarred and bagged sun-dried tomatoes, sauces and spreads. Saco Foods acquired the company last month in a move to expand its presence in the produce category.
Headquartered in Wisconsin, Saco Foods sells powdered instant milk, powdered dry buttermilk, and baking cocoa.
