New, mushroom-based meat alternative Pulled Port has been introduced by To-Jo Mushrooms, a family owned mushroom farm operating in Pennsylvania since 1932.
The Pulled Port product line was launched at the PMA Fresh Summit in October and has already attracted strong interest.
To-Jo’s Pulled Port was created as a response to the increasing demand for vegetarian and vegan dining options both in the foodservice and retail sectors. The result of the innovative production process is a wholesome and flavourful pulled mushroom product that looks and cooks just like meat. Pulled Port is currently available in four varieties, including Original, BBQ, Carnitas and Philly.
“At To-Jo, we love offering our customers products that have versatility” said in Tony D’Amico, president of To-Jo Mushrooms. “Pulled Port allows chefs to enhance how they already use mushrooms by giving classic dishes a more unique twist. With the rising demand for vegetarian and plant-based options, we are excited that this product gives us the opportunity to engage with chefs in this emerging category.”
