Alfa Foods, LLC joins Hazleton Kitchen Incubator to manufacture specialty meat products
The Hazleton Kitchen Incubator welcomes its newest client, Alfa Foods, LLC. This small, food manufacturing business is owned and operated by area native, Alejandro Llerena, and specializes in crafting various meat products, including hot dogs, ham, sausage, salami, chorizo, bacon, jerky, and jerky sausages, which are all made from premium ingredients such as pork, beef, and chicken.
With a commitment to quality and innovation, Alejandro has worked diligently to bring his culinary dreams to life. "I am happy to embark on this journey with Alfa Foods," said Llerena. "My mission is to provide the community with exceptional meat products that stand out in both flavor and uniqueness…selling my products in a niche other companies won't do."
Alfa Foods is currently in its sampling phase, which includes perfecting recipes and designing labels to go on its packaging. Mr. Llerena aims to have his products readily accessible to the public very soon.
