High-end businesses, such as hotels, restaurants and cruise lines, are the primary customers, but individuals make up five percent of sales. Notable clients include The Setai and Mandarin Oriental hotels in Miami, as well as Daniel Boulud, Four Seasons and Nobu. Prices are about half the amount of typical retail shops, and tastings are offered in a showroom of samples, according to Max Moghaddam, Coowner with his wife Zoe Moghaddam. "Our price, even for personal use, is based on our wholesale business, so our clients will have good and fresh products for a competitive price," Moghaddam said. "When you have a customer who buys an expensive product once or twice a year, they should be happy."
