Los Alamitos, CA (PRWEB) August 03, 2014 -- You’ve got the #HatchFever, and the only cure is more Hatch Chiles from New Mexico. Hatch Chiles from New Mexico are back in season from August through September. Frieda’s Inc. has guaranteed volume and good supply, and the expertise to assist retailers in a Hatch Chile roasting program.

“We have worked with many of our retail partners on their Hatch Chile roasting events in the past few years, and shoppers just love them,” said Karen Caplan, president and CEO of Frieda’s Inc. “In addition to the ‘Chile Heads’ who bust the door for them every year, new fans are showing up and curious foodies are stopping by.”

Exclusively grown in the Mesilla Valley near Hatch, New Mexico, these green chiles are well loved by “chile heads” for their robust flavor and zesty fragrance as they are roasted over an open flame.

Frieda’s will offer four heat levels of Hatch Chiles--mild, medium, hot, and extra hot—in 25 pound cases.
