Grupo Real Fruta Brasil, a leading Brazilian cooperative in fresh melons, has received a certificate of appreciation for its support of the ‘Flavour model for Galia melons’. This certificate has been given to Mr. Antonio Carlos Nazaré (Quality Control manager) and Mr. Reriton Moura (Export manager) of Real Fruta Brasil. The company has been recognized for the high rate of dedication which has resulted in the delivery of top quality melons for the development of the flavour model.
Unique scientific path
HillFresh is currently working on developing a unique Taste Matrix for melons together with Wageningen UR and four seed breeding companies (Enza Zaden, Sakata, Monsanto and Nunhems). This matrix, at which subjective qualitative values (taste, texture, fragrance, etc.) are indexed by an experienced taste panel, allows the group to select which varieties will be successful and continue to develop these more quickly and more effectively. This model will be in use in the summer of 2015.
Building the Taste
Besides the unique Taste Matrix for melons, HillFresh has developed a new label ‘‘The Expert in Taste'' which guarantees a beautiful product with a superior quality and the most intense taste sensation, time and time again, throughout the year. Delicious and honest! HillFresh wants to surprise, excel; products specially selected, so that consumers have a fantastic, full flavour experience time and time again! Simply delicious and good each time!
