The company's fresh segment will be highlighting its proprietary Intense Tomatoes, a variety the company calls the first in the world to retain its color and juice after cutting.
Calavo suggests the uniquely qualified tomato for cooking, baking, sandwiches, burgers, salsa, bruschetta, and pretty much everything in between. Intense Tomatoes touts gusseted bags which are designed to make merchandising a snap, as well as a variety of store-level merchandising solutions and POS material.
