In the Land of Camels, Palm Trees and Babagonush
Fornazor’s Specialty Food Team participated in a Focused Trade Mission to Dubai, UAE and Doha, Qatar. The mission offered a focused dialogue with pre-selected appointments in the commercial bakery sector. Susan Rosenthal Jay and Anthony Micci met with more than a dozen owners and general managers of leading commercial bakeries and ingredient distributors. Who knew that pizza was a staple in Doha, right along with hummus and tabouli salad? There were also receptions hosted in each city by the country’s Ambassador…a very enjoyable way to network!
Fornazor’s Table Top presentation featured many “better for you” and Halal food items. With the high rate of diabetes in the Middle East, there is interest in healthier foods including sugar free, low fat and low salt selections.
The week offered a well organized, and busy, program. Meetings (ask us about spending 45 minutes trying to find an unmarked address in the middle of nowhere), hypermarket visits and enjoying local food all added up to a week well spent.
