Taste of California Lovin' at the Four Seasons Hotel!
California is a great place for agriculture. This includes growing crops such as grapes, plums, dates and olives to create byproducts such as wine, canned olives, and raisins for consumption. And they have every reason to be proud of this. It is, for lack of a better phrase, a smorgasbord of goodness that can be eaten naturally from the palm of your hand.
With that in mind, Four Seasons Hotel Singapore took the opportunity to showcase their great produce in full, featuring the best of what the sunny state has to offer, in an exclusive industry menu. This event was organised by the Western USA Agricultural Trade Association (WUSATA) and Buy California Marketing Agreement (CAGROWN), with the support of the USDA Foreign Agriculture Service. With various California co-operators and F&B professionals in attendance, the event was bustling with people who were able to taste the best of what California has to offer the world.
Enthuses Christine Birdsong, Undersecretary of the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA): “Singapore has always been a key Asian market for us as consumers here are savvy, discerning, and always on the lookout for new products. California is home to a remarkable range of fruits, nuts, vegetables, grains, dairy products and wines, and more, with regions nicknamed ‘Wine Country and ‘The Salad Bowl of the Nation’. Our bounty is sold around the globe and we are proud to embrace not only quality and quantity in our agricultural produce, but sustainability and innovation as well. These are exciting times for us and we cannot wait for more consumers to know and love all that the Golden State has to offer.”
