SALINAS, CA - Immediately recognizable by its Brussels sprouts program and beloved for its vast portfolio, Ippolito International is ready to showcase a robust lineup at the upcoming Southern Exposure.
“We are known for being the largest Brussels sprouts grower in North America, but we are so much more!” Heather Fuller, Vice President of Business Development, shared with me. “We grow and market almost 40 different commodities, in addition to a lineup of packaged salads, kits, and cut veg.”
The company’s product lines continue to expand, offering industry partners a wider range of value-added salad and packaged vegetable items.
“These new items complement our core commodity programs. Our newest items include washed and packaged baby broccoli, our Brussels Bites Kits, Mini Romaine, and artichoke consumer packs,” Heather noted.
At the show, Ippolito will emphasize the importance of working with customers to provide solutions for their growing businesses.
“This includes problem-solving innovation, expanding existing product lines, and our well-known and reliable quality and service. Ippolito is committed to streamlining supply chains through our one-stop-shop solution. We are a customer-centric company and genuinely look forward to spending some time with our partners in person at the show!” Heather shared.
Southern Exposure, held in Orlando, Florida, from Thursday, February 26, 2026 to Sunday, March 1, 2026, is an ideal venue for Ippolito to connect with these partners.
“We love going to SEPC for several reasons. The show is just the right size to command great retailer and foodservice attendance,” Heather said. “More importantly, we enjoy the personal connections through spending time on the show floor. SEPC always has many fun networking events and opportunities to connect leading up to the show. This event offers the unique opportunity to focus on customers in a smaller, more relaxed venue, allowing retailers more time to spend with their vendors.”
