'¡Yo Quiero!,' a Rhome, Texas-based manufacturer of hand-crafted food products, recently announced a new lineup of cheese spreads. The lineup includes four avocado-based dips with each boasting a unique additional set of flavors. The four flavors are the 'Avocado Spinach Artichoke,' 'Avocado Spinach Bacon,' 'Avocado Bacon, Ranch and Cheddar,' and the 'Avocado Jaleno Popper.'
¡Yo Quiero! stated that this new avocado-based lineup was selected in order to provide customers with a healthier option to pair with popular snacking foods. Additionally, the avocado flavor palate pairs nicely with a number of additional breakfast-style ingredients, such as bacon or spinach.
The company believes that its snacking-focused foods will perform well due to the new snacking trends ushered in by the pandemic and work-from-home cultures. Jay Alley, the Co-Owner of ¡Yo Quiero!, stated "The past 36 months have seen a shift in snacking trends. For instance, with people working from home, more are snacking and eating smaller meals rather than eating large meals."
