On Wednesday, February 6, 2022, it was once again time for a long time, the FRUIT-LOGISTICA had opened its doors the day before and I had the time to drop by – even if only briefly. Noticeably more streamlined than in 2018, it was clearly to note that many exhibitors of recent years had not yet taken the courage to be on site.
With the topic of climate change, the topic of BIO has also gained a lot of momentum again in recent months. More and more consumers worldwide are attaching importance to the fact that their food has been produced biologically harmless and as climate neutral as possible. Continue reading BIOFACH 2020
The FRUIT LOGISTICA Innovation Award is an exciting event every year – companies are nominated here that offer innovative products in the international fruit and vegetable sector. Continue reading Innovation Award 2020
The Pili nut – what a nut & vegan at the same time. In addition to the absolutely great way of presentation and packaging in chic cotton bags – printed on a soy basis – the Cracking Monkey, originating in the Philippines, captivates especially with its haptic experience & ecological thought. Continue reading The Cracking Monkey – a MUST for nut lovers
The FRUIT LOGISTICA in Berlin becomes a fruitful affair every year.
FRUIT LOGISTICA is all about fruit, vegetables, transport logistics and innovation. There is an almost infinite variety of domestic & tropical fruits and the few days that this fair opens its doors are often hardly enough to have tasted all the delicacies. Continue reading FRUIT LOGISTICA Berlin
At BIOFACH 2020 it finally happened – after tasting the JYMY “anniversary variety” pine at the International Green Week 2020, I was able to try most of the varieties of this extraordinary organic ice cream – which I had only known from the website until then – live. Of course, I didn’t miss this opportunity and made my way to the Finnish “Corner” already on the first day of the fair. Continue reading JYMY @BIOFACH
The Finnish company Aten Marja Oy – ATEN for short – was founded in 1997 and is based in Hietanen, not far from Mikkeli, producing direct berry juices. There is a small outlet with an attached café right next to the production plant in Hirvensalmi. Continue reading Aten Marja Oy – Natural Juice
At some of the trade fairs I have already visited this year, there were topics that at first glance only slightly touch on the culinary aspect, but which are nevertheless important from my point of view.
At the International Green Week 2020, for example, I have already seen many producers of new types of packaging, compostable crockery and humidification systems for the retail trade, in addition to exhibitors for food and drink. Continue reading TOMRA – Easy Sorting
Natividad Vaquero Cabello de Alba is the marketing supervisor of La Abuela Carmen and supported me ad hoc with some products & recipe ideas for this article. La Abuela Carmen produces the black garlic itself – also organically grown. Continue reading La Abuela Carmen
The Finnish family business in Hirvensalmi called JÄRVI-SUOMEN KALATUOTE OY, or Järvi-Suomen for short, convinced me at this year’s International Green Week in Berlin with products that I actually didn’t even have on my agenda – canned fish. Continue reading Järvi-Suomen
At the invitation of the Aachen wine dealer Aix Vinum, we had the opportunity to take a closer look at the WINEfair berlin 2017. A fair completely to our liking – in contrast to many other fairs nowadays, we were offered all kinds of opportunities to gather our own culinary experience without having to order wise wines at once – which in our opinion should also be the appropriate credo of an end consumer fair. Continue reading WINEfair berlin 2017
At the BIOFACH 2020 in Nürnberg I had the pleasure to meet Taina Laitinen – one can justifiably claim that she is a luminary in the field of “sweets”.
With the fruity products of Vavesaaren Tila, the Finnish Vavesaari Estate Oy from Hartola mainly produces sweet delicatessen products based on berries – only wild berries are “put into the pot” here. Continue reading Vavesaaren Tila
The meat of the German marketing company BIOPark Markt GmbH from Malchin in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, which was founded in 1994, has no equal. The meat offered for tasting at BIOFACH 2020 was of the finest quality. The first impression alone when looking into the – let’s call them “showcases” – was promising. The “gems” were already visually appealing and for anyone who has dealt with meat to a limited extent, the BIOPark Markt GmbH booth exerted a special attraction. Continue reading BIOPark Markt
In this article I will tell you about some of the exhibitors whose products and ideas surprised or even fascinated me – however, I did not have time to inform myself in detail about them during BIOFACH. Continue reading On the road at the BIOFACH 2020
Arctic Sparkle is a non-alcoholic sparkling wine product of the family business Saimaan Marjamarkkinointi (Saimaan Marjamarkkinointi Oy) based on Finnish cloudberries. The small but fine company was founded in 2004 and since then has been producing a variety of products. What all products have in common is that the raw materials used in their production come from Finnish nature. Continue reading Arctic Sparkle
As I had just returned from BIOFACH in Nuremberg for the weekend, I unfortunately did not manage to visit the WEINmesse berlin 2020 on the first day of the event. On Saturday, however, the time had come and I made my way to the Messe Berlin – the entrance to the WEINmesse berlin this time was at Hall 21 in the Masurenallee. Continue reading WINEfair berlin 2020
This year at the International Green Week 2020 I spent a lot of time in HALL 8.2 – especially at the Finnish stand. Reasons for this – besides the wish to learn more about the northernmost country of the EU and to write a new article on “Meet the Chef” (Teemu Kaijanen) – were mainly the relaxed atmosphere and the many natural products there. Continue reading Finland
The City Cube – Hall B is an ideal venue for the number of participants expected at the opening event of the International Green Week 2020.
A really very attractive, modern and, above all, huge event location in which, in addition to the large main stage, three screens were “stretched out” that were unparalleled. This ensured for all parts of the event that everyone could see what was happening on stage, even in the back row. Continue reading Opening Event
The BIO Reception of the BÖLW – Bund Ökologischer Lebensmittelwirtschaft (Association of Organic Food Industry) – based in Berlin was a special highlight of the International Green Week 2020 Berlin, not only from a culinary point of view. I would like to take this opportunity to once again thank the BÖLW press officer, Ms Joyce Moewius, for allowing me to take part in this great event. Continue reading BIO Reception of the BÖLW

This event is now taking place for the 85th time and this year it will feature around 1800 exhibitors from 72 countries. Continue reading International Green Week 2020
It is the 20th of September 2017 and once again a gourmet evening at Struve. Another year has passed and the anticipation was already great – what shall I say the patience was rewarded as always. Continue reading Gourmet Evening the Third
On September 26th, EDEKA Struve once again invited us to its Bramfeld branch for another gourmet evening. This time the own share frauded fifteen Euro, whereby five Euro could be used as a voucher for the next purchase. For ten euros so “all you can try”, aka “what your heart desires”. This time the Struve team has again surpassed itself to create a culinary playground… Continue reading Gourmet Evening the Second
On September 16th we spontaneously visited EDEKA in Hamburg Bramfeld – spontaneously because we had only gotten knowledge of the event the day before. So, gourmet evening was the topic – and yes, it turned out to be a great feast. Continue reading Gourmet Evening the First
