Reading the shelf…
Potluck offers versatile Korean cooking pastes that enhance a variety of dishes with bold flavors. Its Gochujang provides a spicy, savory, and slightly sweet profile ideal for marinating and mixing, while the Ssamjang delivers a savory funk and sweet heat perfect for dipping and complementing grilled meats and vegetables. Both products are crafted with traditional ingredients like fermented soybean powder and sesame oil, ensuring authentic taste experiences.
Brand Power (0-100) blends four shelf signals. Price position is shown below for context · a value↔premium read, not part of the score.

Bay Area grocers where neither the digital catalog nor our shelf photos show Potluck· but the shelf it belongs on is already there, ranked by fit. Fit blends category coverage, rival presence, price-band match, and openness to independents at this scale; weigh the footprint chips and route notes against it · a 7-door chain and a single great shop are different prizes. Our capture is partial, so a widely-distributed brand may already be carried through channels we don’t index.
