About Us
GoodHeart was founded in 1996 by mother and daughter, Amalia & Florencia Palmaz. Their passion for cooking and boundless energy enabled these two to revolutionize the prepared meat category. Through focusing on simple clean ingredients, fresh raw materials, and the latest high pressure pasteurization — GoodHeart has become the nation’s premier fully cooked meat processor. The commitment to quality can be found not only in the products but also through its stringent third-party BRCGS AA+ rating.
Who We Serve
As a foundation kitchen, GoodHeart is proud to have its meats featured in millions of entrees nationwide. Our products can be found in the deli departments of several national chain supermarkets, inside the entrees of some of the most coveted frozen meals, and even topping some of the finest sandwiches and salads served every day. From amusement parks to the corner coffee shop, GoodHeart Brand Meats has been an integral part of elevating the quality of quick service and take home meals nationwide.
Our History
Founded in 1996, GoodHeart is deeply rooted in great food. Originally the company had two divisions: fine meat distribution, and its premier retail food catalog Haute@Home Cuisine. Eventually as supermarkets began to expand their Home Meal Replacement programs – GoodHeart merged the two divisions into a premier cooking facility with national distribution. Today it specializes in Roasting, Grilling and Frying in the same way their fine dining customers and supermarkets would in their kitchens. Through gradual growth and focused dedication GoodHeart has refined its methods to be both high quality and cost effective for all segments of the food industry.
