Malena Produce at Baldor Bite 2026
From innovation to plate, Malena Produce brought Zucchiolo to Baldor Bite 2026, sparking new ideas with chefs and buyers across the foodservice industry.
This April, our team at Malena Produce joined one of the most dynamic gatherings in the foodservice industry: Baldor Bite 2026 in New York City.
The event brought together chefs, distributors, and industry leaders, creating the perfect space to share ideas, discover trends, and showcase innovation in fresh produce.
Introducing Zucchiolo
At this year’s event, we featured Zucchiolo, a unique vegetable developed in collaboration with Beyond Seeds.
Its versatility and flavor sparked great conversations with chefs and buyers, who explored its potential across a variety of culinary applications — from fresh preparations to cooked dishes.
From Product to Plate
One of the highlights of the event was our live chef demo in partnership with Great Performances, where attendees experienced Zucchiolo in a real, plate-ready application.
Moments like this are what bring innovation to life, connecting products with the creativity of the foodservice community.
Moving Forward
Baldor Bite continues to be a key space for building relationships and understanding what today’s market is looking for: consistency, quality, and differentiated products.
We’re excited to keep growing these connections and bringing new ideas to the table.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by and shared this experience with us.
