"The Prontarroste are an innovative proposal of fresh ready-to-roast chestnuts. They provide an additional service to the consumer, have a long shelf-life, are not subject to significant physiological weight loss, and comply with all food safety regulations." This is what Pasquale Covino, quality manager of M.G.M. S.r.l. reported to FreshPlaza.
"These consist of fresh, smooth, homogeneously laser-etched chestnuts, ready to be baked in the oven. The innovative packaging - a practical plastic bag in which they are contained, equipped with a stay fresh zippers - and the uninterrupted cold chain allow a shelf-life of about 3 months. The weight loss, on the other hand, is about 2%, compared to the 10-20% of traditional fresh chestnuts."
"Microbiologically stable, they represent a high quality product that remains unaltered over time and meets the needs of the consumer in 2020, who prefers ready-to-use fresh fruit and vegetables."
The company M.G.M. processes its products in two plants of its own, located respectively in Italy and Portugal, where it collects and processes fresh and frozen chestnuts.
"Another product in line with the consumer habits is the new line of M.G.M. chestnut snacks. They are healthy, have no preserved or added sugar and are created with the aim of deseasonalizing the product and its consumption. We offer them in 3 convenient sizes, respectively 30, 100 and 250 gr."
"The snacks are delicious, meet food safety requirements and are ready to use, because they can be eaten directly after opening the single portion or, for those who desire, they can be heated in the oven for about 10 minutes."
"The chestnuts are obtained from the “Brulage” peeling process, then frozen IQF (individually quick frozen), which means individually, after which they are cooked."
"Our products are branded veganok and veganok excellence, and there is also the organic line."
"The main destination markets for the company's products are the large-scale retail trade in North Europe, North America and the United Arab Emirates. However, we would like to expand our presence in Italian supermarkets. Looking to the future, we aim to increase the production of snacks and advertise the Prontarroste. We look forward to seeing you at Fruit Logistica in Hall 6.2, in the Italian Fruit Village community."
