To Cup or Not to Cup: Hormel Pepperoni Choices That Perform
When it comes to pepperoni, every slice matters. Whether you’re looking to deliver a traditional flat slice or wow your guests with the eye-catching "cup and char" style, Hormel offers top-quality options tailored to your needs. Let’s explore two of their standout offerings: Performance Pepperoni and ROSA GRANDE® Pepperoni.
Performance Pepperoni: Dependability in Every Slice
For operators who prioritize consistency and ease of handling, Hormel’s Performance Pepperoni is the ultimate choice. Made from pork and beef cuts, this pepperoni boasts a balanced flavor profile of sweet, savory, and spice. Its authentic brick-red appearance and portion-controlled slices (16 per ounce) ensure you can deliver the same great taste and visual appeal every time.
What sets this product apart? It resists cupping, charring, and grease-out, providing dependable performance for kitchens that need reliable results. It’s perfect for those who want the classic pepperoni experience without the unexpected surprises.
ROSA GRANDE® Pepperoni: Cup, Char, and Impress
For operators looking to make a statement, Hormel’s ROSA GRANDE® Pepperoni delivers a bold, old-world flavor with a show-stopping twist. This dried pepperoni stick slices easily and is crafted for cup and char performance, creating crispy, flavorful edges that stand out on any pizza. Not only does it taste incredible, but its unique appearance offers something special that guests will remember.
The ROSA GRANDE® brings a touch of artisan style to your menu, making it ideal for pizzerias and restaurants looking to add flair and elevate the dining experience.
Which Should You Choose?
The decision comes down to your kitchen’s goals. If you value consistent performance and traditional presentation, Performance Pepperoni delivers the goods. But if you want to create buzz and bring a distinctive look and flavor to your pizzas, ROSA GRANDE® Pepperoni will help you stand out.
At the end of the day, whether you choose to cup or not to cup, Hormel’s pepperoni lineup ensures you’re serving up quality that keeps customers coming back for more.
