Fall River, Mass – Blount Fine Foods, a leading manufacturer of hand-crafted artisan soups and gourmet dips, sauces and salads, today announced the introduction of premium lobster salad packaged fresh for foodservice. The salad is made with 70 percent premium North Atlantic lobster meat. Other ingredients are mayonnaise, lemon juice and special seasoning.
“Our new Premium Lobster Salad is as straight forward and delicious a product as we have ever introduced,” said Bob Sewall, Blount executive vice president of sales and marketing. “We take premium lobster meat and gently blend it with a touch of mayo, lemon juice and the perfect mix of seasonings to give chefs a salad so fresh tasting and full of lobster meat that they will enjoy the flexibility to feature it in several menu applications, including the classic lobster roll, lobster parfait with mango, tomatoes and avocado, lobster Caesar salad and lobster cobb salad.”
Along with lobster, Blount also introduced eight additional salads as part of the new line, all of which ship fresh in 5 pound tubs and are available for immediate order. Additional varieties include:
