mainstay
OR chief OR main, OR major ... depends on your cotnext really.
How about "mainstay"? One of the mainstays of typical produce?
Or a mainstay item in this range of typical products?

On the lines of what Denise and Don are getting out, perhaps you might consider \"leader\" or \"leading item\" in this range of typical products. Or its the \"top end of the range\".
Dunno, really - it depends on the rest of the context and \"principe\" had this other nuance for me, not only of quality but of being the oldest in the range.

quintessential/emblematic product
I agree with Angela's suggestions, just wanted to post another option - principe in the sense of "a fine/exemplary example - the purest or most perfect example".
