Irvine, CA — Whether the prediction is for “Haute Homey” and “Cobb Karma,”* “Foods with Benefits” and “Stealth Health,”** or “locally grown produce,”*** indicators show Fresh California Avocados moving to the produce forefront in 2014, and taking on a prominent role on menus across all segments.
For example, La Condesa (St. Helena, CA) Executive chef Chris Mortensen transforms a humble Latino snack into an “haute homey” California Avocado Torta. While, Chef Gloria Ciccarone-Nehls serves up “stealth health” at The Big 4 and Nob Hill Spa (San Francisco, CA) in a savory Mediterranean Grilled Veggie Wrap with California Avocado Spread.
In a season that stretches from April through September, the growers of Fresh California Avocados supply operators with premium quality, Hand Grown in California Avocados.
