Background:
- Culinary
Farms (CF) is located in Woodland, California.
- CF
was started some 13 years ago and focused on the production of
Sun-Dried and Fresh-Dried tomatoes at their Suisun facilities using
high quality US tomatoes grown in the area.
- In
addition, CF also offers authentic Mexican chilli varieties through an
exclusive relationship with a partner in Celeya, Mexico
- CF
distribute their products widely in North America and also serve overseas
customers.
|
Product Range:
- CF
produces Sun-Dried tomatoes by the careful application of sulphur
dioxide gas.
- For
applications requiring no preservative at all, CF produces their
Fresh-Dried and certified Organic-Dried tomatoes which are dried in forced air tunnels on tray
racks. This speeds the drying process such that no preservative is
required although colour is less bright than when SO2 is carefully
applied.
- The
CF range of authentic Mexican chillies comprises the key products of
Ancho, Guajillo, Chile de Arbol, Chilaca, Pasilla and Chipotle in both
crushed and ground forms. Natural, untreated material is
available for overseas markets.
- CF
can offer specialty Mexican chillies in whole or particulate form on
request.
|
Unique Benefits:
- The CF
tomato drying operations at Suisun are very close to the
tomato growing areas and this means they receive the
freshest possible material for drying.
- The
CF plant in Woodland houses their coldstores and dried tomato
grading and processing facilities which gives them good control over
quality and consistency through the year.
|
Applications:
- Customers
who require the highest quality of Sun-Dried tomatoes appreciate the
quality of CF’s American grown products which come free of foreign
matter. Where preservatives are not allowed customers find that the
alternative Fresh-Dried or Organic Dried tomato products have an equally good flavour
and texture without additives.
- CF
Mexican chili products allow customers to give an authentic Tex-Mex flavour and declare a provenance for their seasonings, soups, stews
and traditional moles.
