Oppy Welcomes Spanish Garlic to Product Portfolio; Aaron Quon Comments
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA - Things are getting spicy for Oppy as the grower, marketer, and distributor adds Spanish garlic to its product portfolio. This addition comes as the company has witnessed the success of its organic ginger.
“We believe this is going to be an excellent addition to our range of global products,” shared Executive Director of Berries and Canadian Category Development Aaron Quon. “With our customers sharing considerable interest in garlic for some time, we carefully picked a program with superior quality that is sure to expand.”
Oppy’s new conventional Spanish garlic is available year-round in bulk and 3-pack mesh bags, a release stated. It will be arriving on both the East and West Coasts in varieties including pure white, spring white, spring violet, and morado in a range of sizes.
Moving forward, Oppy will be exploring other options, including black garlic. The company is currently working with several trusted grower partners in Spain, the world’s second largest garlic exporter.
“Building off of our Peruvian organic ginger from recent years, we look forward to serving our customers and their shoppers with spicy additions as they continue to trend upward,” added Quon.
According to Nielsen data, dollar sales of garlic increased 43 percent over the last five-year period.
