LOS ANGELES, CA - Melons, citrus, and grapes, oh my! As the Southeast Produce Council’s Southern Exposure show fast approaches, these are but a few of the categories attendees can look forward to seeing from Pacific Trellis Fruit and its Dulcinea® brand as they peruse the show floor.
“This year, we will be highlighting our spring and summer Dulcinea® and KISS® melons alongside our import citrus and Mexico grape programs,” Josh Leichter, Chief Executive Officer says. “We will also be participating in the Bright Ideas Showcase, spotlighting Dulcinea Cherries, as this was our first season packing premium cherries under the Dulcinea brand.”
Already resonating with consumers, the Dulcinea brand’s high-flavor, great eating quality products, including its popular melons, shine in the produce aisle, which show attendees can see for themselves at Southern Exposure.
