FOODMatch

We are very proud to share our Founder's Story. Join Phil Meldrum as he talks about our mission, purpose, and the seeds of inspiration that sparked the beginnings of FOODMatch more than 25 years ago.

Inspired by the classic Genovese recipe and beloved by grandmothers across Italy, Divina's bright basil pesto is perfect on pasta, pressed sandwiches and wraps. All of our pesto (vegan, classic, and sundried tomato) is now crafted without nuts to keep your kitchen free from nut allergens. Vegan and classic versions are also available in retail jars for grocery. #foodandbeverage #foodservice #divina https://lnkd.in/emT-YkMQ

Move over Sriracha, there's a new spice on the block! Calabrian chili peppers are a top trending ingredient on restaurant menus, bringing a level of authenticity and sophistication to classic Italian cooking and adding complex heat to non-Italian dishes. Divina Calabrian Chili Peppers are available whole or chopped to save you prep time in the kitchen, in both retail and bulk sizes, packed in an irresistible spicy oil that's ideal for repurposing once the peppers are finished. #calabrianchili #foodandbeverage #divina

Every Divina stuffed olive is carefully filled by hand in Greece. It's a process that speaks to the tradition, heritage and pride that the Greek community takes in their agricultural contribution to the world. Most of our stuffed olives are available in glass jars, deli cups or bulk pack sizes for foodservice, olive bars, or pack-out. #specialtyfood #olives #divina https://lnkd.in/gtnRKyd4

Fruit-forward flavors are a key trend emerging in the specialty food space, according to the Specialty Food Association. You can find this sought-after deep fruit flavor in Divina Greek Apricot Spread, which made the list in this trendspotters' report from the Summer Fancy Food Show. Leana Salama — SVP of Marketing and Communications at SFA — says, "Trends that start in specialty hit menus and mainstream retail shelves in the blink of an eye. So the trendspotters' observations from this year's show offer a snapshot into the future of not just specialty but all food and beverage." https://lnkd.in/gkp92gqX #fancyfoodshow #specialtyfood #foodandbeverage

Divina Greek Apricot Spread is a brand new addition to our award-winning and trend-setting line of specialty spreads. Sweet, sunny and slightly tart, it's made from Greek apricots — renowned for their fruity aroma and deep flavor — and not much else . Enjoy on cheeseboards, grilled sandwiches, glazed on veggies or served simply with toast or breakfast pastries. https://lnkd.in/evX7Q6VV
