Description:
This young Bulgarian company initiated the development of the product in 2016 aiming to fill a big gap in the market - the demand for healthy, nutritious food “on the go”, without added sugars. The innovative healthy product is developed in an attempt to stand out from all the sweets - smoothies, bars and all kinds of other sweet snacks, flooding the niche. It is produced in a family-run production facility with more than 20 years of experience and know-how in production of baby foods.
The soups are made using “Fresh” technology, which means that are used only locally sourced vegetables and herbs, which are in season and come fresh directly from the farmer. They are cooked short after they have been harvested, which ensures that the ingredients are fresh, high quality and have the best taste. After the cooking process the soup is sterilised. This process removes all bacteria and does not allow bacteria to develop. This way the product is ready for consumption, and has a shelf life of 24 months from the date of production, without the need of any food stabilisers. The production is also free from thickening and colouring agents, artificial flavors. Sterilised products are easy to transport, store and display, as they do not need to be kept in cold environment.
Products, currently on the market are soups in glass bottles of 250 ml and 1000 ml sizes:
- Classic Potato soup
- Exotic Red Lentil with Parsnip soup
- Fresh Pea and Mint soup
- Winter edition - Pumpkin with Ginger soup.
