How does Bueno® provide consistent quality in fresh frozen green chile?
New Mexico is known for growing the best chile in the world but it’s not just because of our state’s climate, soil, and seed. It’s also because our farming practices are the best in the world. Our green chile season begins with the long-standing relationships that we have built with our farmers over the years. They have been farming the land, in some cases, for generations. Chile is their cultural heritage, like ours, and they make sure that the chile meets our stringent quality specifications for color, texture, size and heat level. And just to be sure, we have a full time field inspector who monitors our chile crops from planting through harvest. We also require our farmers to use certified chile seed to maintain the integrity of the genetic strain. In addition, with 50 to 100 quality checks per hour, we ensure quality and product safety. Our green chile is picked, flame roasted, peeled, packed and flash frozen all within 24 hours of harvest. The result is premium quality.
