From orange and grapefruit to lemon and lime, citrus is one of the most popular fruit commodities in the world because of its refreshing flavor and nutritional values. The citrus industry in the United States is intimately tied to Florida, and citrus agriculture plays an integral role in the state’s economy. James Beard award-winning chef and author, Michael Schwartz of The Genuine Hospitality Group, has founded a collection of Miami-based restaurants – Michael’s Genuine, Amara, Harry’s Pizzeria – that thoughtfully source Florida’s local citrus ingredients to compliment the variety of dishes and recipes. Perricone Farms, a third generation, family-owned grower and manufacturer of premium citrus produce juices, has become one of the largest and most well-known fresh squeezed juice companies in the country. Bob VanDine, Vice President of Sales, explains the not from concentrate process – from unpasteurized and pasteurized to HPP (High Pressure Processing) cold press.
