The Ambriola Company Auricchio Imported Provolone Pre-Sliced Cheese
I am a self-proclaimed Provolone fanatic, so when I saw The Ambriola Company roll out a new Auricchio Imported Provolone Pre-Sliced Cheese, I knew it was an immediate contender for this month’s top picks. The flavorful, pre-sliced cheese is available in three varieties—Sharp, Mild, and Smoked—conveniently sliced for easy use. Famous for its time-honored recipe and flavor, Auricchio Provolone is expertly crafted by hand.
King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Soft Pretzel Bites
The bakery behemoth’s entry into the snacking category comes in the form of these new Original Hawaiian Sweet Soft Pretzel Bites. Available in retailers nationwide this summer, King’s Hawaiian’s latest SKU is sure to wow shoppers with its incredibly soft texture and the perfect balance of sweet and salty that consumers seek in a traditional soft pretzel. I can already see the merchandising opportunities playing out with a variety of dipping sauces placed nearby!
HEINZ Limited-Edition Black Garlic Ranch and Harissa Aioli Sauces
HEINZ is back at it again with flavor-forward new condiment options, bringing forth some fan-favorite flavors after successfully testing the varieties in restaurants. Available exclusively at Walmart, Black Garlic Ranch combines the mellow, deep flavor of black garlic with the creaminess of ranch to offer a unique and smooth experience. Harissa Aioli, available exclusively at Target, features a smoky roasted red pepper blend with flavorful heat and a globally inspired flair.
Marin French Prospector Black Truffle Triple Crème Brie
Captivating consumers in terms of both flavor and packaging is Marin French’s latest launch, the Prospector 8 oz Black Truffle Triple Crème Brie. Supported by the brand’s high standards of quality cheesemaking, Prospector marks a long-awaited addition to Marin French’s collection, drawing consumers in with an elevated Brie experience. The product will be available in stores and online beginning in September.
Foodservice mainstays like Wendy’s® and KFC have tapped into the loaded or sauced nugget craze, showcasing that innovation is alive and well in the nugget category. Pilgrim’s® is bringing this coveted experience to consumers’ homes with an inventive lineup of offerings that include Loaded Nuggets, Ultimate Nuggets, and Mini Nuggets. With nuggets remaining one of the most popular items in the frozen aisles, these innovations bring something exciting and fresh to a fan-favorite category.
We’ll be back next month with another curated lineup of standout product innovations, so be on the lookout for our top picks for July!
