"Brussels Bites™ are an innovative and specialized cut of Brussels sprouts," explains Dan Canales, Senior Vice President of Sales, Marketing, and Processing. "These are cut into perfectly bite-sized pieces, then washed, packaged, and ready to use in 5 lb bags for foodservice customers."

With the demand for pre-cut, convenient finished goods, health and wellness, and a preference for companies with a sustainable foundation and focus on the rise, Ippolito International’s Brussels Bites™ allow foodservice operators to tap into a variety of demands.

"Ippolito International covers all points by offering an array of value-added, fresh vegetable products that hit the health and wellness mark," Dan shares. "We also provide options for foodservice operators that minimize prep time in the kitchen. Our new Brussels Bites™ are a great example of that. We are also the first produce company in Monterey County to have been certified as ZERO WASTE, dating back to 2018, and we continue to benchmark our operations to these metrics each month."

Backed by these advantages, Ippolito International prides itself on being a responsive and nimble partner in the foodservice space.

"We have long-standing relationships with many different types of foodservice customers, both large and emerging," Dan adds. "Our business’s foundation is built on the quality of our products and our service to the customer. We are a streamlined company, and so we can make decisions and respond to customer requests quickly."

As Ippolito continues to be a formidable partner in the fresh arena, the Foodservice Conference presents a vital opportunity for strengthening relationships.

"This conference allows us to meet with the vast customer base in the foodservice sector. And while we always enjoy hosting tours, breaking bread, and furthering our relationships, it is even more important that we learn from our customers while they’re in our own backyard," Dan notes. "This is the added bonus, that after a show like this, our takeaways are many, so we’re grateful that this show is such a huge draw."

Ippolito International will showcase its mouthwatering Brussels Bites™ at booth #811 as part of the Fresh Ideas Showcase. Don’t miss out on the chance to explore this convenient, time-saving offering!
