Jeff’s Naturals Celebrates 2 Year Anniversary by Launching New Products!

Diced-Jalepenos_AntipastoIt’s been a great year for Jeff’s Naturals! We were elated to learn that we are now the #1 olive brand in the natural channel*­ and the #2 brand in peppers!

How did we celebrate?

Well, we threw one heck of a cocktail party at Natural Products Expo West earlier this month, but we are also celebrating by introducing TWO new products to our line of all natural pantry staples.

Meet the newest members of the Jeff’s Naturals family:

Spicy Italian Olive Antipasto
Need an instant appetizer? Our new Spicy Italian Olive Antipasto is perfect for snacking! This colorful combination of large green olives, tangy peperoncini, rich red bell peppers and fresh, savory garlic is sure to be a hit at your next party, on a salad, or on the go! This new addition is a “must-have” for any antipasto platter.

Diced Tamed Jalapeño Peppers
To say that our fans rave about our Sliced Tamed Jalapeños would be an understatement!  Due to popular demand, we are happy to introduce our Diced Tamed Jalapeño Peppers! Use them on sandwiches, nachos, pizzas, omelets and dips like this Supreme Artichoke Dip for a bit of “zing” without the burn!

These yummy hybrid peppers were created exclusively for us by horticulturists at Texas A&M University by combining traditional jalapeño peppers with bell peppers to create a proprietary “harmless” jalapeño. The result?  A pleasant pepper flavor with much less heat. Our peppers are sourced in California and packed within 24-hours of harvest so you can enjoy the freshest taste possible!

Like all of our products, these two new additions are all natural and contain no sulfites or artificial anything. ­Just fresh, clean ingredients and remarkable taste. The Spicy Italian Olive Antipasto and Diced Tamed Jalapeño Peppers are also certified Non-GMO, Vegan and Gluten Free. Click here to learn more about our certifications!
