Miami-based MacKnight Food Group announced that both Costco and Kroger will sell their Salmon Fleurettes beginning this fall, just in time for the holidays. The Salmon Fleurettes are one of the company’s best-selling products and sourced from premium, farm-raised Atlantic salmon. Ian MacKnight of MacKnight Food Group weighs in on the new business.
“We’re excited to have Costco and Kroger on board and selling one of our most innovative products,” says MacKnight. “Our Fleurettes are the perfect party appetizer and will be a huge hit for the consumer looking for a healthy and delicious snack to serve guests. We’re certain it will be a popular choice at both grocery chains.”
The Fleurettes are made with an award-winning fire roasted salmon rillette mousse, hand wrapped with thin petals of Scottish Smoked Salmon and presented beautifully as a canapé. They are the perfect party dish, in addition to being gluten-free, high in protein and low in sodium. The Fleurettes are set to hit the shelves of Costco and Kroger and will provide a heart-healthy choice for customers looking to complete their holiday menus.
MacKnight Food Group sources their salmon from the waters of Norway and Scotland. The company’s CEO Jonathan Brown started his salmon business as a teenager in Scotland more than 25 years ago, and has turned his passion for the best quality smoked salmon into an international success. MacKnight Food Group recently announced their Salmon Burgers hitting the shelves of Wal-Mart super centers across the country.
“We believe the customers at Costco and Kroger will enjoy everything our product has to offer, and we look forward to fostering these new business relationships and the growth that comes from it,” says MacKnight.
