Divina Wild Mushroom Mix is a great time and labor saver for foodservice and prep food teams looking to add a meaty plant-based option to salad bars, pizza and pasta. A delightful and diverse blend (Nameko, Straw, Roundheads and Saffron Milkcap), we love the garlicky and vinegary marinade that adds brightness to a wide range of dishes. https://lnkd.in/eJ2N2-ri

Divina 🍅 featured in Jason Buechel’s grocery bag was a highlight of the Fancy Food Show. Did you know that our iconic and award-winning Roasted Tomatoes are grown, harvested, and crafted in the USA? A staple of Mediterranean bars, prep foods programs and menus across North America, they provide consistent, summer-fresh flavor 24/7/365.
Jason Buechel, CEO of Whole Foods Market, took time to shop the Summer #FancyFoodShow before his awesome keynote session on Monday. He spoke with exhibitors and stocked his Whole Foods Bag with delicious items to share with the audience. From chocolate and honey to pate, olives, and sardines, this visionary leader showcased #specialtyfood innovation and highlighted consumer trends with every product he selected.

A one-bite antipasti platter, Divina Antipasti Bites are pickled peppers stuffed with aged prosciutto and sharp provolone. These make a nice substantial addition to a salad or charcuterie board or an exciting bar bite to kick-start your next happy hour. Proudly made in the USA, our prosciutto is prepared using the classic European tradition of dry-curing the pork for a minimum of nine months. This process delivers a prosciutto that is sweet and mild, never salty or overpowering. https://lnkd.in/gGQbwU5x
