TEMPLE, PA - With blendability initiatives, value-added innovations, and a diverse range of variety options, the mushroom category is experiencing an incredible amount of growth and evolution. One company at the forefront of these developments is Giorgio Fresh, who recently announced an extension to its popular stuffed mushroom product line. The company has introduced two new delicious and different dining options.
“You can’t pick a better stuffed mushroom,” Kris Kaczmarczyk, Regional and National Account Manager, tells me. “Our goal is bring more value to the retail and foodservice community while driving sales and bringing innovative food offerings to market. With flavor and quality top-of-mind, we are positioned for continued growth across our program.”
These new offerings, Kaczmarczyk suggests, are proof-positive examples of Giorgio’s commitment to excellence, innovation, and a management philosophy centered around “Kaizen,” a focus on “continuous improvement,” and “obsession with detail and perfection.”
Giorgio, a third-generation family-owned company reputed to have “America’s favorite mushroom,” now offers two new value-added varieties of stuffed mushroom—each, according to Kaczmarczyk, a healthy and versatile option suitable for serving as a satisfying-yet-light lunch or dinner served with a salad or side dish—or even as a complement to a heartier entrée.
Giorgio had previously produced several varieties of stuffed mushroom–Imitation Bacon and Cheddar, Imitation Crab Seasoning, and Artichoke and Spinach. The addition of two new flavors, Mediterranean and Fiesta stuffed mushrooms, further diversifies its offering and grows its brand as well as its market share in the mushroom industry.
The Mediterranean stuffed mushroom features tangy feta cheese, red bell peppers, garlic, and other quality ingredients, while the Fiesta variety includes pepper jack and Fresco cheeses, spicy jalapeños, chili peppers, and other complimentary flavors. The company says both varieties were extremely popular when sampled at the PMA Fresh Summit in Orlando.
