Stonemill Kitchens Helps Retailers Get Ready For The Holidays With Artisan Dips

NEW YORK –Stonemill Kitchens® will showcase its premium line of gourmet dips at the Summer Fancy Food Show on June 30 – July 2, 2013 (booth #3148). Named a finalist for the coveted sofi Award at the West Coast Fancy Food Show, this line of specialty dips is now available to East Coast retailers, brokers, and distributors. The five dip flavors include: Artichoke & Jalapeño; Artichoke & Parmesan; Three Cheese Peperoncini; Spinach & Artichoke Parmesan; and Creamy Spinach.

“Consumers love that these dips can be enjoyed hot or cold,” states Lacey Werner, Associate Category Manager. “Heating the parmesan-based dips releases extra flavor and adds an elegant touch to a tuna melt or turkey panini. This versatility also translates into higher retail volume and repeat sales.”

Gourmet Dips Drive Holiday Sales
“While premium dips are strong sellers year-round, we see a big sales spike from November through January, as consumers enjoy them for family dinners and holiday parties,” states Werner. “The dips come in gourmet flavors, but are mainstream-enough to have wide appeal.”

Stonemill Kitchens proprietary “sqround” (or square-round) package features clear sides with more product visibility generating impulse sales and large display panels making it easy to provide recipes and serving suggestions. The compact tub dramatically improves retailer return on shelf space.
