Barilla and Sagegreen - Winners at Gala Awards Dinner At their presentation ceremony - held at the Gala Dinner Dance at the London Hilton Hotel on the 14th June - the British Frozen Food Federation announced the winner of the Catering Product of the Year for 2007 as “BARILLA” Girasole De Gorgonzola from Sagegreen Consulting Ltd.
The experienced judges from the Craft Guild of Chefs independently judge, assess, mark, and provide comments on all entries. Sagegreen - Experts in Food Sales - offer an outsource sales resource for food manufacturers, this year helping Barilla win in two categories where standards were extremely high ? ?Catering Product of the Year? and ?Best New Meat Free/Vegetarian Product?.

The award winning product is from the Barilla IQF range and is ideal for a variety of foodservice occasions from café snacks to pub meals to family dining. Barilla uses only the finest quality Durum wheat and the best ingredients which, when combined with their unique quick freeze process, gives 100% yield on regeneration.

The superior quality of Barilla product means operators can create hot, fresh authentic Italian dishes in under one minute - with no waste. Regeneration is fast and can be achieved in boiling water, combi steam oven, pan or microwave.

The catering judges were full of praise for the product, with one saying ?good even size pasta?, ?great amount of filling?, ?I would buy? and others commenting ?nice product, good shape, good colour?, ?tasty filling, very versatile and easy to use?.

Barilla claim to be the world?s number one pasta manufacturer and Italy?s leading baking foods company with a wide range of cakes, pastries and crackers along side pasta.

More surprisingly in an industry dominated by corporate multinationals, Barilla is still a family run business, run by the three great grandsons of founder Pietro Barilla.
