THE EUROPEAN DIFFERENCE
Preservation Can Be an Art, Not a Compromise.
European preservation traditions extend the harvest while keeping vegetables central to the table. Pickling, fermenting, roasting and preserving create foods that work as ingredients, condiments and side dishes.
For EU-market foods, harmonised rules govern consumer food information and authorised food additives, providing a useful regulatory backdrop to the ingredient traditions represented throughout GEM.
The Jar Is Only the Beginning
Serve preserved vegetables with grilled meats, fold mushrooms into grains, spread ajvar on bread or use pickles to cut through rich foods.
