It’s all in the grapes
AND COMMUNITY
Several generations have passed since the first press was put into production and the torch was passed to the newest and fourth generation. Utilizing traditions passed down from our ancestors, the present generation has raised the bar, adding modern technology and applying advanced standards of food safety to continue producing the sweet molasses.
A major characteristic that has not changed with modernity is the sense of community as one of the core values embodied by the family business. The Kadamanis are proud to support more than 250 local growers whose grapes make their way to our presses each year. The use of locally grown grapes from growers who share our values not only helps the growers, but also assures that all grapes used in production are naturally grown and non-modified varieties.
This sense of community awareness also expresses itself in many other ways throughout the summer with the creation of community activities and events which bring visitors to the area during the production season, supporting local businesses in general.
