Will Avelar - 100 Years of Beans Done Right

We sat down with Will Avelar of Mawi Tortillas in Metairie, LA, where he shared his childhood experience with the Costa Rican bean gallo pinto and how Camellia Beans connected him to those memories. New Orleanians — by birth or by spirit — are devoted to Camellia beans and have built a community around how to cook, season, savor, and celebrate. Thank you for making us part of your tradition. Here’s to another 100 years of beans done right. Camellia Brand has been bringing people together to make memories and enjoy family meals for a century, and our customers are the most important ingredient to that success. Just like a pot of red beans that is slowly simmered and lovingly tended to, the best things in life take time. We’ve always put our heart and soul into everything we do, and that’s the recipe that has kept us going for 100 years and counting. Learn more: https://www.camelliabrand.com/100years/
