Food Production - Seattle, Washington, United States
About UsCucina Fresca Gourmet Foods began making handcrafted pastas in Seattle's historic Pike Place Market more than 30 years ago. Since its humble beginnings, this small mom-and-pop shop has moved twice to meet community demand. Over the years, the foodservice side of the business became its mainstay working with restaurants, service delis and corporate cafeterias in Washington State. In 2002, retailers such as Whole Foods Market began inquiring with Cucina Fresca about creating a retail line of products similar to what it was buying for its service delis.One year later, heeding several retail requests, Owner and Executive Chef Brad Glaberson set out to develop a complete line of fresh pastas, fresh sauces and gourmet frozen entrees. Inspired by fresh, high quality ingredients like vine-ripened tomatoes, first cold press extra virgin olive oil, premium cheeses and fresh picked basil, a gourmet line of prepared foods was born to a cult-like following of foodies, families and friends.Today, Cucina Fresca Gourmet Foods is a leading producer of natural prepared foods for retail and foodservice. Cucina Fresca products are available in more than 1,500 grocery stores, specialty shops and foodservice channels throughout North America. The company's foodservice line has also grown to offer more than 130 items, many of which are seasonally inspired.Chef-owned and operated, Cucina Fresca remains true to its roots, guided by a philosophy of "product over profit." Chef Glaberson leads a "taste-driven" company, creating superior quality offerings made in small batches from the freshest, highest quality ingredients. The company is dedicated to sourcing local ingredients and adopting sustainable practices whenever possible. Everything Cucina Fresca creates is handcrafted in the company's own 12,000 square foot culinary facility in Seattle to ensure delicious perfection every step of the way.Bradley GlabersonEXECUTIVE CHEF & PRESIDENTBrad with kettleBrad Glaberson has b
