Baltimore-based condiments brand Tessemae has announced the launch of its signature 24-oz. 'Squeeze Bottle Classic Ranch' at Costco. The condiment will now be offered at 75 Costco stores throughout the United States in key markets such as Wisconsin, Ohio, Illinois, and Michigan.
The new expansion marks a major milestone for Tessemae which specializes in healthy and organic sauces and salads. In addition, the company adheres to "clean manufacturing," meaning it prioritizes production methods that utilize real ingredients and simple foods.
"We’ve made tremendous strides in terms of growing our presence in the retail community over recent years, but this is a true milestone for us. We know the commitment to quality that Costco has come to exemplify and their uncompromising standards so our inclusion, we believe, seems like a natural one," said Brian Vetter, chief growth officer.
