Camellia Brand

Red beans and rice, that emblematic dish of Louisiana Creole cooking, has made its mark on every Monday in the city of New Orleans from time immemorial. For nearly 100 years, the only bean of choice has been Camellia Brand. Camellia Brand Red Kidney Beans are the cornerstone of L.H. Hayward & Company, a family business in its fourth generation and just a few years shy of a century in operation. Vince Hayward is now CEO at the helm of the company established by his great-grandfather, Lucius H. Hayward Jr., in 1923.  The value of the family heritage can’t be ‘bean-counted;’ it’s about the trust and respect that have been built over generations between Hayward’s forebears and their growers. “Our families have been working together for nearly a century, growing beans to the highest standard of goodness and getting them to market,” says Vince Hayward. “Not only does the public crave our beans, they know what to expect from every package. That trusted level of quality is our secret ingredient.”
