Sonoma County, CA — Pioneering a brand new line of healthfully delicious tortillas, La Tortilla Factory's Heart Healthy Flour Tortillas made with Extra Virgin Olive Oil are now available nationwide. Produced in soft taco and fajita sizes, both containing 8 per package, these are the first tortillas created to support coronary health.

Using Extra Virgin Olive Oil, rather than lard, hydrogenated oils or dairy, La Tortilla Factory's unique recipe provides consumers with just the right amount of monounsaturated fats linked to reducing cholesterol levels and decreasing coronary disease risks. In addition, these flavorful tortillas offer a good source of calcium and remain completely trans-fat free.

"With 71 million afflicted with cardiovascular disease, there's an undeniable need to menu delicious heart healthy products," says Willie Tamayo, V.P. of Sales. "Our Heart Healthy line allows foodservice operators to satisfy this important consumer demand."
