Fresh
Produce Year-Round
Many
produce items are no longer seasonal and are expected
to be in-stock, fresh, year-round. A change in season
does not mean that a certain item is no longer available;
it simply means that we have to work a little harder
and go a little further to find it. To that end, Chef's
Produce imports from around the world.
When
it is winter in the United States, customers don't want
to hear that the strawberry season is over in California;
they want strawberries. So, Chef's Produce imports strawberries
from Australia and New Zealand. We also import regularly
from Mexico and South America to meet other seasonal
demands.
Herbs
A Plenty
Chef's Produce flies fresh herbs in daily from across
the continental United States and Hawaii. We then package
culinary herbs such as basil, chives, and tarragon for
retail grocery stores and restaurants. We also stock
a complete line of specialty herbs such as epasote,
hoja santa, bay leaves, flavored basils, and exotic
mints and sages.
Special
Attention to Specialty Items
Unusual and gourmet items are our specialty. Miniature
fruits, miniature squash, French beans, a half-dozen
varieties of wild mushrooms, white asparagus, blood
oranges - these once-exotic fruits and vegetables are
now standard. And we are constantly tracking down harder-to-find
items to keep out customers on the cutting edge of industry
trends.
