Crafted in Italy by Fabbri, a century-old name in dessert artistry—now available in five indulgent flavors through Melissa’s
Los Angeles, CA (April 2025) — As spring ushers in a season of celebrations—from Easter brunches to Mother’s Day gatherings and graduation parties—Melissa’s Produce is proud to introduce a new line of co-branded Gourmet Dessert Sauces imported from Italy and crafted in partnership with the legendary Fabbri brand. With over 100 years of heritage in Italian dessert artistry, Fabbri’s sauces have earned their place in fine restaurants, cafes, and hotels across Europe—and now they’re available for U.S. retailers and food service operators through Melissa’s brand.
This premium lineup includes five indulgent flavors: Chocolate, Caramel, Pistachio, Strawberry, and Wild Cherry. Each sauce is elegantly packaged in a shelf-stable, flip-top squeeze bottle, making them both beautiful to display and easy to use.
“Dessert sauce is a cross-merchandising gem,” says Robert Schueller, Director of Public Relations at Melissa’s. “You can place it with fresh berries and apples, near bakery items, or create a destination with our display racks or bins paired with our ready-to-use French crêpes—it just makes sense. Especially now, during spring, when people are entertaining more at home.”
