The Veroni Salumi & Focaccia kit has been developed by the Italian charcuterie company as its latest product that will bing authentic Italian aperitivo experiences into the US consumer's home.
The product responds to the changing dynamic within the market where consumers are increasingly shifting towards dinner alternatives that prioritize smaller bites and grazing. The product features a premium focaccia with cherry tomatoes alongside prosciutto, provolone, olives and salame Milano, and comes in six-ounce and 12-ounce formats to choose from. The products are optimized for immediate consumption upon being opened and served to maximize convenience for consumers when being enjoyed at home or as a picnic.
The Veroni Salumi & Focaccia kit also taps in to the aperitivo economy, according to the brand, where focaccia is increasingly taking center stage.
