Our Facilities We are housed in a fifty-five thousand square foot warehouse with over thirty-five thousand square feet of cooler space. Our operation is inspected annually by an independent third party to insure that proper GMP and GHP are maintained. We operate under the guidelines of our HACCP plan. All merchandise at M. Palazola is received on temperature controlled docks. We operate twenty-one refrigerated bob trucks and three tractor trailer units. Our facility is fenced and equipped with gates and cameras around the building and its perimeter. We operate twenty-four hours a day, seven days per week so there is never a time when our building or fleet is left unattended. |
Inventory M. Palazola maintains an ample inventory of many products. Anything not immediately available can be special ordered and brought in very quickly, overnight in some cases. We are currently turning our inventory at a rate of two to three times per week on highly perishable products. We will stand behind our produce 100 percent in terms of quality and freshness. |
Packaging As a facility specializing in produce, we are equipped to custom package all items in any size or quantity desired. We are not limited to specific breaks, such as five pounds or half cases. We sell fresh herbs and specialty produce in the amounts needed by the customer. |
History M. Palazola Produce has operated a full service produce house for the past thirty-one years. We service a customer base of over four hundred businesses, which include retail outlets, restaurants, schools, hospitals, and federal and state facilities. |
Processed Produce We operate our own pre-cut facility on premises. We are able to ensure the absolute highest quality as we manufacture all orders at the time they are placed. We do not maintain any hold-over inventory. This affords you an approximate two-day freshness advantage over the vendors who receive prepared products from California or buy second-hand. Our in-house pre-cut area also allows us the ability to make special salad mixes and slaws to the customer’s exact specifications. Many other suppliers are limited to what is available on the pre-cut market. We can cut any product in any size or shape desired. We can also package our products in any weight that might help our customers with waste or portion control. |
Tomatoes and Bananas M. Palazola packs all its own tomatoes. We sort all tomatoes by size and color and re-pack in both 25-pound bulk cases and 20 pound layered packs. By packing our own tomatoes, we are able to purchase merchandise at a lower price and meet the needs of each of our customers. We always stock gassed-green and vine-ripe tomatoes, and we provide local homegrown tomatoes in season. M. Palazola buys bananas direct and does all of its own processing and conditioning. Again, this affords our customers the best possible price and consistent quality. We carry only premium Dole and Chiquita brands. |
Delivery M. Palazola will provide delivery to any central delivery area or location you choose. All orders will be loaded from a temperature controlled dock and shipped on refrigerated trucks. We base delivery times around the customer’s schedule. Whether you need an early morning delivery or you do not open until dinner, we will make our delivery work for you. |
