When it comes to probiotic-rich foods, consumers tend to gravitate towards yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi and other fermented products that are rich with friendly bacteria—and this is where Alive & Well sets itself apart with its Probiotic-Rich Organic Olives.
Alive & Well shares sustainably sourced, organic olives that have gone through a natural lacto-fermentation process that's comparable to the way sauerkraut is prepared. As ever, consumers are able to enjoy the taste of the Mediterranean fruit but with added probiotics for even more health-boosting benefits. The Alive & Well Probiotic-Rich Organic Olives are available in a number of different varieties, including Kalamata, Green Rovie, Atalanti, Chalkidiki and Amfissa.
At the Specialty Food Association's 2019 Winter Fancy Food Show, Alive & Well was one of the many exhibitors that showed how global flavors are influencing everything from beverages to produce.
