Setton Farms wins INC Innovation Award

Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella, Inc., the nation’s second largest pistachio grower and processor based in California’s Central Valley, was awarded the 2018 International Nut and Dried Fruit Council (INC) Innovation Award for their 100 percent natural Pistachio + Blueberry Cranberry Chewy Bites.

The INC Awards are aimed at recognizing outstanding leaders and visionaries who contribute to the excellence of the nut and dried fruit industry. The largest international gathering of food professionals, suppliers, traders and buyers, the conference broke previous attendance records with nearly 1,500 professionals from over 60 countries. Attendees casted their vote for the INC Innovation Award and chose the Pistachio Chewy Bites from a selection of globally produced products.

Pistachio Chewy Bites products are all-natural, bite-sized bars packed with pistachios and antioxidant-rich fruits. Individually wrapped, they can be an on-the-go snack. Introduced to retail in June 2017, the Pistachio + Blueberry bites are a wholesome blend of over 50 percent pistachios, blueberry infused cranberries, coconut, and a touch of maple brown rice syrup. Each bite is filled with protein, potassium, fiber, antioxidants, and Vitamin B6. In addition, they are Kosher, vegan, Certified Gluten Free and NON-GMO Project verified.

“We are very excited and honored to receive the 2018 INC Innovation Award, which was presented to us at the annual conference in Sevilla, Spain last week,” said Setton Farms COO Mia Cohen. “We are dedicated to providing consumers with pistachiobased snacks that are nutrient rich and contain only the highest quality ingredients. It’s encouraging to see our hard work in the industry recognized by our peers at such a prestigious level.”

Pistachio Chewy Bites products are sold in stores nationwide and online.
