HLB Specialties, formerly HLB Tropical Food, is a family business through and through. HLB Tropical Food was founded by the Barros family, who emigrated from Brazil to Germany in 1989 to start a fruit importing company that would not only bring the delicious, exotic papaya to Europe but more importantly, would get Europeans excited about papayas. After successfully remarketing papayas from an ultra-exotic item to an indispensable everyday fruit, the Barros family moved to Florida in 1998 to establish HLB Tropical Food USA. The Barros family soon established a nationwide presence, positioning the Brazilian Caliman papaya brand with top retailers and wholesalers across the country. Our German company currently supplies a variety of tropical fruits to over 10 European countries.
