Culinary Lab

From animal welfare to fair trade and from recyclable packaging to the debate on genetically modified food, there are an array of aspects that drive R&D specialists in the food supply chain.

We’re dedicated to constantly delivering what consumers want

Our R&D specialists working in our Culinary Lab track and respond to consumer trends. This involves answering questions such as: “How can we appeal to millennials?”, “How should we respond to changing eating patterns?”, “How can we continue to appeal to flexitarians?”, “How can we respond to the free-from trend?” We continually endeavour to deliver what consumers want. Healthy choices, organic and free-from are all examples of trends to which food companies must adapt.

Our R&D team must, of course, comply with new legal and regulatory requirements:
There is constant pressure on producers to make food healthier, cheaper, free-from, ethical, longer-lasting, organic… Whether this pressure comes from regulators, consumers or other sources, there is always a need to innovate.

Co-creation

Great food starts with great and passionate people. Our relationships with our contracted farmers and partners are the cornerstone of our business. We’re proud to partner with only the major leading companies around the world. We have successfully collaborated with many of them for decades and with some for generations.

We rely on them and work closely with them to provide a fantastic and great product. Inspiring people and being inspired by great people is key to the success of Zandbergen World’s Finest Meat. This is why we work with a number of top restaurants and chefs to continually improve our products. Zandbergen World’s Finest Meat is proud to work the best restaurants and chefs from around the world. We often invite them to take part in work sessions in our kitchen and culinary lab. This has a dual aim: To be inspired and to inspire them.

Free(ze) thinking

Our aim is to supply the highest quality of meat and meat products from around the world to our customers in accordance with their specific needs and wishes. The key to delivering the highest quality 365 days a year is not determined by one specific factor. It is the synergy between each link within the entire logistics chain that is at the heart of Zandbergen’s approach to quality and service. Meeting our clients’ differing demands and specifications requires a can-do culture and optimum flexibility. We always find a solution for every request at Zandbergen. We specialise in keeping our head cool when the heat is on: Free(ze) Thinking 24/7, 365 days a year.

Some call it out of the box, we prefer to call it free(ze) thinking
