KINGSVILLE, ON - Mastronardi Produce, a leader in the greenhouse-grown fresh produce industry, is proud to announce that its flagship SUNSET® brand has received three 3-star Superior Taste Award certifications for the exceptional flavors of Campari® Tomatoes, Angel Sweet® Tomatoes, and WOW® Dreamberry™ Strawberries.

Mastronardi Produce was also awarded four 2-star Superior Taste Award designations for SUNSET® Flavor Bombs® Tomatoes, Summer Dream™ Raspberries, Secilia™ Tomatoes, and the Backyard Farms® Green Leaf Lettuce.

“Flavor is what drives us, and to be recognized for that is an honor,” said Paul Mastronardi, President & CEO of Mastronardi Produce. “We take great pride in everything we grow. Receiving such high distinction emphasizes the genuine passion found throughout our entire organization.”

The Superior Taste Award is a prestigious global certification that highlights delicious tasting food and beverage products. Organized by the International Taste Institute, submissions are assessed for appearance, aroma, flavor, and texture by a jury of over 250 professional chefs and sommeliers from more than 20 countries. Products that obtain a 3-star rating are deemed exceptional and of the highest quality in their category. A 2-star rating honors outstanding products that clearly distinguish themselves within their category.

The Superior Taste Award certification for the SUNSET® Campari® Tomato follows the recent announcement of the cocktail tomato's 30th anniversary. Renowned for its perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, Campari® also earned a 3-star Superior Taste Award in 2019.

The Superior Taste Awards come on the heels of Mastronardi’s earlier wins this month at the Leamington Greenhouse Competition in Ontario, Canada, where the company received 23 awards for flavor, including the competition’s top honors for best tomato, best strawberry, and four Chef’s Choice awards.
