Makers of traditional Bulgarian canned products are taking part in the Alimentaria food, beverage and gastronomy trade show in Barcelona on March 18-21. They rely on a 3-in-1 formula: the distinctive taste of Bulgarian fruits and vegetables, prepared according to traditional recipes in high-tech factories, the Association of Traditional Bulgarian Preserved Foods said.
 
The Bulgarian stand features products of Deroni of Stara Zagora, Jam and Jam, Fructo Sliven and Top's Honey. The joint participation is organized by the Association with support from the Agriculture and Food Ministry and State Fund Agriculture.

Association Board Chairman Dimitar Angelinov said participation in the exhibition is very important as an opportunity to enter new markets and niches in the sector of traditional canned foods. A video of Bulgaria's premium products will be shown in two key locations, focusing attention on quality and new trends in food production and consumption.
