SimplyFresco was able to receive its award just before celebrating its first year in production. What seemed so far away a year ago has become a dream come true. The company decided to send some products to the competition to see if they were on the “right track”. Needless to say, they are heading in the right direction. SimplyFresco‘s line of refrigerated, preservative-free, all-natural salsas are a technology breakthrough that offers great taste (of course!) and long lasting freshness. “We are thrilled,” said the management. “It is one thing to have your family, friends and consumers tell you that your sauces are among the best they have ever tasted. It is an unbelievable validation when flavors that originated in our kitchen earn recognition in a blind judging at the international level.” The awards are a clear validation of the experience and quality that SimplyFresco brings to the marketplace. |

| SimplyFresco opens first HHP facility dedicated to tomato-based sauces – November 2006 |
| |
• San Antonio, Texas – The wait is over! Great Taste and Long-Lasting Freshness come together in San Antonio. Until now, consumers had to compromise when purchasing fresh salsa or fresh pasta sauce. Previously, if the items were truly fresh and all-natural, like a homemade recipe, they spoiled quickly. Or, if the items were fresh and lasted longer than a week, they were loaded with preservatives or additives. SimplyFresco has made the compromise on quality a thing of the past. At SimplyFresco, they are committed to delivering the best tasting, all-natural salsa and pasta sauce available in the retail market. They have invested in technology that allows them to offer no less than 100 days of freshness from the date the product is manufactured. The products are packaged in a stand-up-resealable-pouch that allows the High Pressure Processing to eliminate all bacteria and pathogens that can ruin the fresh recipe. The result is a product that tastes fresher, has brighter colors, and has a crisper texture than alternatives that contain preservatives or are heat-processed. SimplyFresco’s High Pressure Processing facility is one of approximately only 12 such facilities in the U.S. and it is the only one that is certified as a Minority Business Enterprise. |
