Freshly produced and packaged in a controlled atmosphere, they have a long shelf life without the use of additional preservatives and taste almost like homemade.
The latest manufacturing plants also facilitate the production of a variety of mixed products, with freeze-dried vegetables, to milk powder and all the way to fine spices. This results in products like puree with milk, snacks to put in your cup or the finest gourmet products. However, even dumplings in different shapes and flavors are part of the product range, whether they are found in practical cooking bags or come as a mixture for making your own potato dough.
The product ideas, based on high-quality raw materials, special mixing processes and individual packaging technology, are virtually unlimited.
