Located in the Vernon district of Los Angeles, California, World Variety Produce began strictly as a source of specialty produce. In recent years, the company has incorporated a "one-stop shopping" concept. Customers can buy not only specialty items, but also staples like Idaho potatoes, French beans and Melissa’s full line of organic produce. President Joe Hernandez often seeks out and frequently tests new and novel specialty produce items. Of course, the company is more commonly known for its extensive specialty lines including Dried Fruits (like mango, kiwifruit, and papaya), Fresh Exotics (like feijoa, cherimoya, pepino and kiwano melons), Gourmet Grains (Couscous, Quinoa, Tabbouleh, Risotto) and more.
