HLB: Papaya at its best – Organic from America

At the FRUIT LOGISTICA there were all sorts of suppliers of papaya and every variety had its advantages. I had the chance to try papayas from every corner of the world. Very tasty papayas came for example from Brazil, they were quite big, nice to look at, not too firm and sweet as sugar.

But compared to the Organic Formosa from HLB from Mexico (and meanwhile also from Brazil), no other papaya had a real chance at FRUIT LOGISTICA 2017 from my point of view. This organic papaya was not as big as others, but its excellent taste and unique consistency made it stand out and make it unique.

Lorenz Hartmann de Barros (Director of Sales of HLB Specialties from America (based in Florida) and Susanne Raiß (General Manager of HLB Tropical Food GmbH Germany) were not only super friendly people, but also real professionals who shared their profound knowledge with me.

 

Both of them took themselves a lot of time to teach me the motives of HLB and the spirit of this special product, but also the many other specialities of HLB. Many thanks for the detailed insights into the company philosophy and the product portfolio.

In addition to papaya, HLB also offers many other excellent fruits. For example, rambutan, sweet large mangos, first-class limes and much more. HLB already has more than thirty years of experience in fruit distribution – so should there be any supply bottlenecks, for example with papayas, HLB has enough producers of high-quality fruit on hand to be able to react at short notice.

The exquisite quality of the products immediately shows the care, love and professionalism with which they are approached and developed.

The traditional papaya which is distributed by HLB is in Germany already available at Globus & EDEKA – the organic papaya is still very new, so it may take some time until you can buy them there. But if you see the Organic Formosa from HLB somewhere – buy it and try it, you won’t regret it!
