Private aviation catering at MCE

Merced sits at the agricultural heart of Central California, where stone fruit, almonds, dairy and field greens move from farm to distribution within hours. That proximity shapes every order we build for this airport — ingredients sourced from the valley floor rather than a distant commissary shelf. The region between Merced and Fresno is one of the most productive stretches of farmland on the continent. When you place an order for Merced private jet catering, that geography is an operational advantage: seasonal produce arrives in our preparation kitchen with its provenance intact and its freshness uncompromised.

Regional Catering Menu · Merced

Merced inflight catering

Central Valley growing cycles define what we put on the menu at Merced. Spring and summer bring white peaches, nectarines and sweet corn. Autumn yields walnuts, pistachios, pomegranates and late-harvest figs. We build tasting menus and crew meals around whatever is at peak rather than defaulting to a static card. Dairy from the Merced basin — butter, artisan cheeses, crème fraîche — anchors both our savoury mains and our pâtisserie. Almonds from the orchards flanking Highway 99 appear in everything from dukkah crusts to marzipan finishes. The flavour profile is Californian in character: clean, ingredient-led and restrained.
