"We've seen customers blow through cases of this around the holidays. It's dependable, and the quality stays consistent across large batches without any fuss. I tell operators to keep a mix of flavours on hand; the 5 kg format means you're not constantly opening small cans. When you're moving volume, that adds up to real time saved on prep."
