About Chef Kelvin Fernandez
Born in New York to Dominican parents, Kelvin Fernandez never dreamed as a kid he'd be a chef. In fact, he never showed interest in food, even though his dad was a chef, until he enrolled in a high school cooking class to impress his high school sweetheart. That class ignited a passion for all things culinary. Fernandez has made a name for himself as the youngest executive chef ever on New York City's fine dining scene at the tender age of 22. He was also a winner on Food Network's Beat Bobby Flay Show. Chef Fernandez has been awarded top 30 chefs under 30 years old for food and wine by Forbes Magazine where he also competed for best chef in America and has won 4 years in a row. The chef has earned a respected place in the culinary world – he's now Executive Chef Kelvin Fernandez.
Originating in Ethiopia, a small group of Ethiopians and Ethiopian Americans started a US company under the name Hydassy. Hydassy was later folded into a company under multi-ownership named Vantera Coffee Bean Company (VCBC or Vantera), which was chaired by co-founder and coffee industry expert, Haileslassie Ambaye. Later, VCBC expanded into a vertical US and Ethiopia operation that is core managed by business and coffee industry expert men and women. Additionally, the majority of Vantera is owned by Black Americans and African Americans.
Vantera Coffee Bean Company considers itself a revolutionary company that brings to its customers more than premium coffees, according to executive chairman Don Polk. Vantera provides utmost quality in coffees that are USDA Organic certified, Rainforest Alliance certified, and received a Nespresso (a Nestle company) AAA Sustainable Quality Program Award and a CERES GmbH certification. Besides their remarkable excellence in producing high-quality coffee beans, they are adamant about making a difference for people and the communities around them. Creating jobs, economic development, and building up communities are some of their core values. They aim to help young people develop economically and grow businesses by providing them with the needed support. To pay tribute to farmers, especially women who have worked hard, Vantera established a concept program that is implemented to enrich, grow, and protect the life, future, education, health, and net worth of and for women and their children in Ethiopia.
Vantera Coffee Bean Company and Chef Kelvin Fernandez established a licensing and endorsement partnership, to share their mutual vision, core values and great coffees with their customers, communities, and the world. Being an exceptional chef and taste master, Chef Kelvin and VCBC are developing coffee blends and flavors to set a new bar for coffee producers.
