50 Pounds of Cheese Empanada!
We baked New Jersey's biggest empanada!
To celebrate the launch of their distribution business and honor Hispanic Heritage Month, the Pardo family, along with their dedicated team, achieved an extraordinary feat. They baked the largest cheese empanada in New Jersey, a testament to their entrepreneurial spirit and culinary prowess. The event attracted a host of distinguished guests, including East Ward Newark Councilman Michael Silva, as well as representatives from NJIT, Rutgers University, Prudential, and Kalustyan Corporation.
Councilman Michael Silva of East Ward Newark expressed his support and excitement for the growth of Sabor Foods and its prominent location on Ferry Street. He praised the Pardo family's innovative approach, particularly their venture into consumer packaged goods (CPG), and highlighted the potential for other businesses to follow their model.
This culinary journey, evolving from a local family dream into a national bread powerhouse—stands as a powerful blueprint for the next generation of builders and visionaries. It’s an extraordinary evolution, and one that Councilman Silva personally commended as a masterclass in turning heritage into an industry leader.
The Pardo family's journey, dating back to the preservation of family recipes since 1999 when they opened the Sabor Latino Restaurant and culminating in sharing their culinary heritage with the nation, is a story of perseverance and the American dream. Lets cheer to baking more epic food!
