How Piccola Cucina embraces the future of food
In the ever-changing landscape of the food industry, it is essential to stay ahead to continue meeting consumer expectations. The recent International Food Technologists (IFT) event held in Chicago, IL, showcased key developments such as the shift away from ultra-processed foods, and an increasing demand for healthier and more sustainable ingredients. Piccola Cucina is particularly aligned with these emerging trends.
1. Minimally processed, nutrient-dense products
The industry is moving away from ultra-processed foods, with consumers increasingly seeking clarity and assurance in what they eat. At Piccola Cucina, we are committed to using simple, high-quality ingredients.
Our Almond Macaroon Cookies and Almond Flour Wraps are made from minimally processed almonds sourced from a sustainable, bee-friendly farm in California. This approach ensures that our offerings are nutrient-dense and free from unnecessary additives, aligning with consumer desires for transparency and simplicity.
2. Health and sustainability
Today's consumers expect more from their food, not just in terms of health benefits but also in contributing positively to the environment. Piccola Cucina meets these expectations by employing sustainable practices, such as minimizing by-products, achieving zero food waste, and recycling processing and packaging materials.
Our Almond Pie Crusts and Finely Milled Almond Flour embody our commitment to sustainability, offering high-quality ingredients that are good for both consumers and the planet.
3. Taste and texture: The heart of indulgence
At Piccola Cucina, we believe that eating should be a delightful experience. We prioritize taste and texture, ensuring that our products not only meet dietary needs but also provide indulgent flavours and satisfying textures.
4. Natural sweeteners and clean labels
As the industry shifts towards reducing sugar content and maintaining a clean label, without sacrificing taste, Piccola Cucina offers a range of products made with ingredients you can understand.
Our Almond Macaroon Cookies are sweetened non-gmo cane sugar, providing a satisfying treat that aligns with the growing trend of clean label products.
As we continue to innovate and expand our product line, we remain dedicated to our mission of providing quality, allergy-friendly foods that consumers can trust. Our alignment with these emerging trends reinforces our commitment to excellence and our role as a leader in the healthy indulgence space.
