Tomatillos

Native to Mexico, tomatillos are a fruit that actually isn’t a “green tomato,” as they’re called in Spanish. It has a distinct, intense, sour flavor and is an essential ingredient in Mexican cuisine.

Ingredient Offering

 

Our tangy products are made from freshly harvested fruits of tomatillos that are peeled, washed and either preserved whole or crushed into a liquid consistency.

Crushed

This ready-to-use product takes whole tomatillos that are stewed and peeled and crushed into a sauce. This minimizes labor costs while also providing a solid base for dips, sauces and stews.

Harvested fresh, then stewed and peeled before they are preserved, our whole tomatillos can be the main ingredient in your salsa verde, green enchilada sauce or pozole verde.

The sweet treats and trends winning hearts this Valentine’s Day

Author | Madeline Bills | Cocoa Innovation Manager at ofi

 

Chocolate has long been synonymous with Valentine’s Day, with sweet treats a classic way to celebrate the season of love.

But Valentine’s Day is evolving, with Gen Z and Millennials redefining traditions.  Many consumers are choosing to celebrate this day with friends and family members, as well as significant others. In 2023, 40% of Gen Z and 20% of Millennials said they were planning to buy their friends a Valentine’s gift.[1] And what better way to do so than with cocoa?

 

As consumers change the way they celebrate Valentine’s Day – and who they celebrate with – there is an opportunity for manufacturers to develop new products.  From introducing more exotic flavors in confectionery to creating more experiential formats and expanding into new categories, we’re seeing companies inventing new ways for consumers to celebrate the season of love with those who matter most to them. At ofi we explore the top chocolate, confectionery and bakery trends shaping Valentine’s Day 2024 and how manufacturers can develop new offerings to win the hearts of consumers.
