Giumarra Companies' Gary Caloroso Discusses Lemonade™ Apples, DulceVida Nectarines, and More
LOS ANGELES, CA - From apples and berries to avocados, summer is synonymous with many wonderful fruits. As retailers prepare to merchandise for the season, the Giumarra Companies has a wide variety of options to appeal to an even wider array of consumers.
“We are over 100 years old and a family-owned business, and we're promoting Lemonade™ apples, which are almost year-round now,” Gary Caloroso, Regional Business Development Director, starts off saying. “From New Zealand during the summer, and then our domestic deal with the states of Washington and Pennsylvania.”
Lemonade apples are bright yellow, adding a pop of extra color to the produce department. They also have a cool, sweet, tart taste.
In addition to its Lemonade apples, Giumarra will also have DulceVida nectarines from California this summer. Local berries from the United States and British Columbia are also on the supplier's menu.
Giumarra is also highlighting its graphic avocado bags.
“We have different avocado-themed bags, which is exciting,” adds Gary. “We're doing a lot more with the different themes. We customize for all of our customers. And it's terrific.”
