Organic Klamath Pearls for Holiday Entertaining
Category : Chef2Chef News Desk
One taste of Frieda’s Organic Klamath Pearl Potatoes and your customers will be asking how so much flavor is packed into such a little potato.
Combining rich flavor and a smooth and creamy texture with the ability to puff and fluff like a russet, Frieda’s Klamath Pearls are just what you need to create a delicious holiday meal.
“We are thrilled to be offering these potatoes as part of our organic line,” said Karen Caplan, Frieda’s President. “We sampled the non-organic version at PMA Fresh Summit last year and they were a huge hit with chefs and retailers.”
Organic Klamath Pearl Potatoes are grown exclusively for Frieda’s by Klamath Basin Family Farms in the fertile, high mountain valleys on the Oregon-California border.
Frieda’s Organic Klamath Pearl Potatoes are packed in 20 pound bulk for food service applications. A retail version is also available 10/2lb. per case in colorful bags that feature the new look of Frieda’s organic line.
“Unlike other small gourmet potatoes, this exceptionally versatile variety is harvested young to capture peak freshness and excellent flavor,” Said Caplan. ”Chefs in the
San Francisco bay area love them.” They’re white inside, very tender and very moist. They also won’t get sticky or mushy so they’re delicious whether roasted and served hot or chilled and served cold.
Founded in 1962 by Frieda Caplan, Frieda’s, Inc. was the first wholesale produce company in the
U.S. to be founded, owned and operated by a woman. Once a small produce stand at the Los Angeles Produce Market, Frieda’s has emerged as the nation’s premier marketer and distributor of specialty produce and now offers more than 600 specialty items to grocery and specialty stores throughout the U.S. and Canada. America has Frieda’s to thank for introductions to Kiwifruit, Shallots, Cherimoyas, Donut
