BOGGIATTO PRODUCE LAUNCHES NEW WEBSITE
Foodservice Resource Features Recipes Created by Top Chefs
SALINAS, Calif., March 7, 2007 – Boggiatto Produce announces the launch of its new website located at www.boggiatto.com. The site, which has been developed as a comprehensive information resource for customers and other foodservice professionals, features a wealth of product information as well as recipes created by top chefs using the company's Garden Hearts® hearts of romaine and Garden Hearts® Iceberg Babies®.
As part of the company's ongoing commitment to food safety, the site also outlines the company's food safety program and includes links to the company's Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), Good Harvesting Practices (GHP) and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) manuals.
"We've designed this new website to be a valuable resource for both our customers and the foodservice industry," stated President Michael Boggiatto. "Particularly in the food safety section of the site, we've fully outlined our program and made our good practice manuals available at the click of a mouse. In sharing this information openly, we seek to provide our customers the peace of mind that comes with knowing that Boggiatto Produce is doing everything possible to ensure the safety of its products."
The site also includes a selection of recipes that highlight a number of different ways to serve both Garden Hearts® hearts of romaine and Iceberg Babies®, small heads of iceberg lettuce about the size of a softball. Developed specifically for the foodservice, many of the recipes are also suitable for home use. They have been developed by Beat Giger, CEC, AAC, corporate chef for Pebble Beach Resorts (Pebble Beach, CA); Bert Cutino, CEC, AAC, co-founder of The Sardine Factory (Monterey, CA); and Jasper Mirabile, Jr., CMC, FIC, co-owner of Jasper's (Kansas City, MO).
Based in Salinas, California, the "Salad Bowl of the World," Boggiatto Produce, Inc. was established in 1989 as a fresh produce shipper. In 1992, the company pioneered the growing, packing and shipping of hearts of romaine and today, its Garden Hearts® label is the undisputed industry leader. In 2004, the company added Iceberg Babies® to its family of Garden Hearts® products. In addition, the company ships a variety of other fresh produce items, including but not limited to artichokes, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, celery, cilantro, kale, leaf lettuce, leeks, parsley, romaine and sweet corn. All are available nationwide through produce distributors. For more information about the company and its products, visit www.boggiatto.com.
