RPE Canada has introduced its O Canada Blend, a premium mix of Honey Gold and Ruby Sensation potatoes designed to celebrate the traditions and flavors of Canada.

The new 24-ounce bag is a tribute to the Great White North, featuring the Canadian flag, silhouettes of a bear and beaver and the tagline, “It’s a Tasteful Tradition, eh!” according to a news release. Ideal for roasting, boiling or adding a vibrant pop of color to any dish, the O Canada Blend is grown for Canadians, by Canadians, the company says.

RPE Canada says it continues to expand its presence in the Canadian market, working closely with Canadian growers to bring fresh, high-quality potatoes to retailers nationwide.

At this year’s Canadian Produce Marketing Association Convention and Trade Show, set for April 8-10 in Montreal, visitors to the company’s booth, No. 101, can explore a lineup of fresh potatoes, including the Tasteful Selections baby potato collection and Farmer’s Promise products. Guests can also experience two hot and fresh samples cooked the booth: Montreal Steak and Herbed Butter Potatoes and Savory Poutine on exclusive Honey Gold Nibbles, the release said.

To celebrate the launch of the O Canada Blend, RPE Canada has created a landing page featuring recipes and cooking tips.
