More about romaine lettuce
The modern salad base
From Caesar salads to pre-cut blends, romaine is a go-to in both foodservice and retail prep. Its crunchy texture and visual appeal boost value across fresh and convenience ranges.
Varietal focus
We prioritise upright, compact varieties with strong ribs, crisp leaves, and good internal blanching. These traits improve shelf-life and visual consistency in packed formats.
Origins and seasons
Romaine is supplied mainly from Spain and the Netherlands, with production calendars aligned to seasonal transitions. Our growers adjust field timing to meet retail and wholesale cycles.
Packaging and handling
We provide romaine in flowpack, film wrap, or loose formats. Post-harvest cooling is rapid and closely monitored to maintain leaf structure and avoid dehydration.
