After placing a few products on the Russian market, Orogel is doing well on the US market as well. The frozen produce company, leader on the Italian market with 22.8% of the share (the second follows at 21.2%), only makes less than 10% of its turnover abroad, but the trend is increasing.

"Grilled vegetables are very popular in the US. Just like all other products, we make them using our producers' vegetables. Organic cauliflowers also do well in the US," explains General Director Giancarlo Foschi.

The latest product to be introduced is a vegetable broth. It's a unique product, just like Cubello and Verdurì were when they first appeared on the market. "Our vegetable broth is supplied in the form of frozen drops. Just add twenty drops to a litre of water. There is no salt, aromas or glutamates. The list of ingredients is very short. Customers can add salt as they please," explains marketing director Luca Pagliacci.
