"We want organic quality to become the standard within gastronomy"

Last week at Flamersheim Castle in Euskirchen was all about exclusive enjoyment. Celebrity chefs, top winemakers, fine restaurateurs, gourmets and connoisseurs presented fine food and drink as well as new cooking trends within the framework of the Eifel Gourmet Festival. The biofruit company from Düren was there as well, not only advertising its excellent organic fruit and organic vegetables, but also wanting to establish itself as a supplier for the most demanding catering establishments. Up until now, biofruit has been the main contact for the food retail industry.

Dirk Salentin shows top organic foodstuffs for the gastronomy

"We want organic quality to become the standard within gastronomy and have developed special offers," explains Dirk Salentin, Managing Director of biofruit GmbH. Even within upscale gastronomy, high-quality organic products are not yet represented to the extent that many guests would have expected. Organic is not only an ethical and ecological requirement, but also a taste requirement. "The difference is very noticeable," says Salentin. Therefore, he has a long term goal of not only pointing top restaurants to organic products, but caterers and commercial kitchens as well. "Organic should be on the rise - in kitchens and in minds," he says, finding confirmation at the Eifel Gourmet Festival. "Bio had a great presence here. Our services, which go far beyond pure supply, were in great demand," said the entrepreneur. This is because biofuit offers so much more; it advises in purchasing, marketing and staging high-quality organic products and is a comprehensive partner. It sees itself as much more than just a supplier.

Even today, biofruit can point to a number of companies that have significantly increased their sales through a new organic strategy, smart marketing and exclusive products - despite the fact that organic is still slightly more expensive than conventionally produced food. Organic produce is an investment that will always pay off in the long term, says Dirk Salentin - especially in the restaurant business. The Eifel Gourmet Festival was the beginning of many culinary events and specialized congresses, during which biofruit will present itself during the year. More than ever before, people should want to be an ambassador in matters of organic food.
