Salinas, CA – As consumers increase their appetite for healthier food options and the desire to incorporate more vegetables into their diets, D’Arrigo California BB #:114843, a farming leader of healthy and delicious vegetables, announces three new items in the Andy Boy label: Florentino AKA Sweet Baby Cauliflower, Brussels Sprouts and Celery.
Florentino was the first of the three to be rolled out with a soft launch conducted late last year. Florentino has a sweet to mild flavor, beautiful blonde to cream colored bunches with light to bright green stems, and a crunchy texture. There is a lot of excitement around the opportunities of adding these fresh, field packed and versatile vegetables on a year-round basis to the iconic Andy Boy label.
“I am so excited to join the D’Arrigo California – Andy Boy family, and along with me we have Florentino, Brussels Sprouts, and Celery joining the Andy Boy brand.” states Brittany Corda. “We have expected to see great success bringing these items to market, and it’s been the natural progression to get them into our brand. Since we conducted the soft product launch of Florentino a few months ago, the feedback has been very positive. Florentino is a fresh and innovate take on an already popular, on trend, and functional vegetable “cauliflower”. I am really looking forward to what’s in store for each one of these new additions to our brand.”
“Our team is proud to continue introducing unique and great tasting vegetables that excite and appeal to our customers,” states Cody Ramsey, Manager, Sales/Marketing at D’Arrigo California. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to be adding not one, but three branded vegetables to our Andy Boy product line to have readily available for our customers!”
