Mucci Farms' Steve Zaccardi Details Savorries Sweet Strawberry Tomatoes Before Global Produce & Floral Show
KINGSVILLE, ONTARIO, CANADA - The newest addition to Mucci Farms’ product lineup is spicing up retail programs. Savorries sweet strawberry tomatoes are a tantalizing blend of savory and sweet, and they’re just what buyers need to bring a punch of excitement to the category in the winter months. I spoke with Steve Zaccardi, Senior Director of Sales to get the scoop before the product takes center stage in the Fresh Ideas Showcase at the Global Produce & Floral Show next week.
“This is a premium tomato variety that is shaped like a strawberry, with the sweetness of that berry and the savoriness of a tomato. It is full of flavor and offers versatility in its uses,” remarked Steve. “Consumers can use Savorries as a salad topper, for a sauce, or as a snack—they really suit any and all occasions.”
The deep red color and rich flavor profile appeal to shoppers looking for high-end taste, particularly culinary enthusiasts who are foodies or at-home chefs. They’re offered on-the-vine to maintain both flavor and freshness, and Mucci Farms noted that the presentation of Savorries alone will blow guests away.
Bright red tomatoes on rich green vines already have the colors of the winter season, and the versatility of this tomato makes it perfect for holiday parties and family get-togethers.
It’s no wonder that Savorries will be featured in the Fresh Ideas Showcase due to these top-of-line qualities.
“Our team is always searching the world for new, innovative varieties. Savorries quickly established itself as one we had to share with retailers since it’s in line with the rapidly growing popularity of on-the-vine offerings. This product is truly a result of our dedication to product innovation and a forward-thinking mindset,” Steve shared.
