SIAL Paris

In order to prevent traffic jams and enhance the convenience of visitors and exhibitors, the organizers have changed the opening day of the show. They look forward to meeting you from Saturday 15 to Wednesday 19 October 2022 at the Parc des Expositions de Paris-Nord Villepinte.

Le Bontà was founded in 1994 in Prato, in the Tuscan hinterland, to create sauces, meat sauces, and patès that express the best Tuscan gastronomic tradition.

Last October, Le Bontà Srl moved to a new 9,000 m2 plant in Campi Bisenzio (FI), bringing together two divisions (sauces and cereals) in a unique production center. The project was guided by a desire to embark on a sustainable path.

The lines of sauces have been renewed. The company has invested in new technologies and machinery that triple the production capacity and allow us to replicate the authenticity of recipes with a perfect mix of tradition and innovation.

This year, Le Bontà Srl will launch a contemporary range that pays tribute to its origins: Chianina ragout, Porcini mushrooms and truffle sauce, Aglione sauce, cacio e pepe sauce, Norma sauce and Amatriciana sauce. The cacio e pepe sauce embodies the whole soul of the people of the Lazio region and above all of the city of Rome, a city devoted to grandeur and majesty but which never forgets the simplicity of its origins.

Like carbonara and amatriciana, the cacio e pepe sauce is one of the Italian culinary tradition's tastiest and most popular dishes. i Toscanacci have reinterpreted this historic recipe using the Tuscan DOP pecorino together with the Roman pecorino.

The new references arise from the great ability to evolve historical recipes in a new current and original key. The new products are suitable for all those who want to taste everyday typical Italian and quality flavors: they are ideal for everyone, young and older adults.

Whoever wishes to experience the current finger food and snack trends at the SIAL should head off to visit the Frostkrone Food Group at Stand 5 A R214. International, incredibly diverse, trendy: the selection of delights that the Company Group will be showcasing in Paris from 15-19 October. Both the food trade and also the food service business throughout Europe, the USA and in Asia know and value the Group’s incredibly varied product range. Currently the Frostkrone Food Group is supplying a total of 45 countries worldwide.

The team of the Frostkrone Food Group will be delighted to present the complete kaleidoscope of finger food and snacks to their visitors at this year’s SIAL. And there will indeed be plenty to discover and try out.

Delicacies such as the “Hot Vegan Cheese Bites” or “Vegan Chilli Cheese Nuggets” from the plant-based “Really?!” range, which offers a varied choice of completely vegan products prepared on a plant basis.

There are always the crispy Pizza Pockets, too, waiting to be discovered in many different flavours, e.g. the classic one with cheese and salami or burger-style with juicy pieces of beef. “Ready To Eat” comes to you straight off the refrigerated shelves. This range can be eaten hot or cold and boasts a huge choice of vegan and vegetarian flavours and also variations with chicken. Here are some examples: “Garlic and Cream Cheese Coins” made of cream cheese with garlic or “Chicken Tikka Masala Coins” with flavoursome breaded chicken breast, coconut, sieved tomato and rice. Every type of snack is wrapped in a luscious coating, created out of delicious spices, seeds and grains.

The Frostkrone team is never short of creative ideas. And they fully realise how vital it is to be constantly exploring new avenues. At the SIAL, Frostkrone demonstrates how finger food and snacks can now be made in a standardised form - the same size, the same weight. So in the future no whole pods have to be used for Cream Cheese Jalapeños. They will be shaped from the prepared mixture, filled and then wrapped in their coating. This process employs a technology that has been successfully used in other foodstuff preparation for years.

Lucart, a major European manufacturer of thin MG paper for flexible packaging, is a key player in the consumer goods and Away From Home market as a producer and transformer of tissue and airlaid paper.

Our attention to people, sustainable processes and approach to innovation mean that we offer cutting-edge products that meet market challenges and perfectly match the requirements of our customers.

Fiberpack® is our flagship project in this field: it combines advanced technology and environmentally friendly processes, demonstrating that circular economy principles are fully applicable to the tissue sector.

We created this project starting from the idea of using all the elements of beverage cartons according to circular economy principles. The production process relies on an innovative technology that separates the cellulose fibres found in beverage cartons from polyethylene and aluminium by physical-mechanical action. With this technology we don’t use any substances that may be harmful to people or the environment. We produce tissue products with the fibres obtained through this process. We recover the aluminium and polyethylene and convert them into a homogeneous material called Al.Pe.®, which other industries use to produce a variety of items.

Lucart is also the only brand in its target market to offer airlaid products with exceptional absorbency and strength performance. The Airlaid technology uses long, highly resistant cellulose fibres that never come into contact with water during the production process (dry paper), so that they remain super absorbent. Fibres treated with this process naturally form a ‘“dam” structure, offering outstanding results: it absorbs 50% more compared to other household paper and, thanks to its exceptional resistance, it can be reused up to 10 times, compared to 1 or 2 of competing products. We are a company made up of people who choose to use innovative and sustainable processes in development, transformation and manufacturing of paper products, collaborating responsibly for the future of our business and of the planet. We recently introduced hybrid technology: Lucart uses only recycled fibres and cellulose coming from supply chains that are managed according to acknowledged sustainability criteria. Hybrid products are obtained thanks to a unique and innovative technology that allows pure cellulose plies to combined with recycled paper plies, thereby ensuring excellent quality and maximum attention to environmental sustainability.
