3 Denmark is Organic country of the year this year A title brought home after many years of teamwork by companies and organisations, the retail trade and authorities. One of the cornerstones of the Danish success is the Danish state organic label, enjoying recognition among 96 per cent of the Danes. And they do not only recognise it, they trust in it, a credibility that is crucial for organics and the Danish success. But the products are most important. The quality must be good if the consumers are to pay; and crunchy carrots grown without the use of pesticides, juicy bacon from pigs living outside, and cold, quenching milk from organic cows have in recent years tempted Danish consumers and foreign retailers into buying Danish organic products. But this has not always been the story. Twenty year ago when an organic baker, a bit of a pioneer, was to show interested people round his unusual shop, he made 13 layer cakes. Unfortunately, only five people turned up, so we must assume that they went home VERY full. When the baker shows people round today, up to 500 people turn up, so he does not make cakes for all of them. So as the little story shows, much has happened within organics the past twenty years. I hope that the fair and this brochure can contribute to making even more people contact the Danish producers of organic food, so that the next twenty years can show just as great a development as the past twenty years have. Bon appétit and enjoy the fair. Eva Kjer Hansen - Minister for Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Photo: Jens Honoré

4 BIOSYNERGY About Skarø Ice-cream The ice-cream from the island of Skarø is made from pure organic ingredients, without any additives. The beech tree sap gathered each spring on Skarø is the real magic of Skarø Ice-cream. The content of natural salts and sugars found in the pure beech tree sap enhances the taste and makes it less necessary to add sugar as it is done in other ice-creams and sorbets. Another principle in our production is not adding air to the Skarø Ice-cream during production. The taste experience thus becomes more concentrated and intense. No additives is to be taken literally. Unlike other manufacturers on the market, we do, actually, not use any additives. This principle makes a world of difference to the taste experience.

5 The range Sorbets: Rhubarb sorbet with vanilla Red currant sorbet Apple sorbet with rosemary Strawberry sorbet Black currant sorbet Raspberry sorbet Ice-cream: Chocolate Mocha Vanilla Branding and marketing Skarø Ice-cream can in special circumstances also be marketed under other names (brands) and the production may be sold on.

6 COESAM Coesam Rosehip Powder certified organic Coesam Rosehip Powder is a joint health supplement made from fruits of a special cultivar (AP-4) of the dog rose Rosa canina L. The powder is a mixture of grained fruit shells and grained seeds from Rosa canina AP-4. All hairs from the fruit have been removed to ensure the highest quality. A 100% natural product certified organic. Made 100% from the dog rose Rosa canina AP-4 Certified organic From own plantations Cultivated in a unique climate Coesam Rosehip Powder is available as loose powder and in capsules. Recommended daily dose: 1-2 teaspoons (3-5 g) or 4-6 capsules. Uses: The loose powder is good as ingredient in smoothies.

7 Organic plantation 500 km south of the capital Santiago in the beautiful south of Chile you find the plantation Santa Magdalena where the Coesam rosehips are cultivated in a volcanic soil without the use of pesticides or fertilizers. The organic status is certified and controlled by IMO (Institut fur Marktökologie), Switzerland and by the Danish Danish Veterinary and Food Administration. More taste more active ingredients Rosehips from Coesam plantations are full of taste. The organic cultivation, the unique climate conditions and the selection of the AP-4 cultivar makes the difference. More taste means at the same time more active ingredients. Rosa canina - cultivar AP-4 The selection of the Rosa canina AP-4 variety is a result of a research project where rose hip plants from the mountain area in the South of Chile were analysed for yield and the content of active ingredients. Who are we? Coesam Scandinavia has roots in both Chile and Denmark. We have familiar relations to the owner of the plantations in Chile. Our background is in biochemistry and a career in research and development from the health and food industry.

8 FIELDS OF FLAVOUR Our Mission There are many views on which kind of foods are healthy. One day experts say one thing, the next day something else. However, experts, your parents and common sense have always agreed on one thing: It is good for us to eat a lot of vegetables! But many of us simply don t eat enough of these green things. Why? Yes, most of us know that we probably ought to find good, fresh produce and cook our own meals from scratch every day. Sometimes we manage, but frankly, many days we take short-cuts. And too often they don t include many vegetables.

9 Another excuse for not eating enough vegetables: Many people feel they don t taste of much. And there is really nothing as unappealing as overcooked greens or a soup that lacks seasoning. However, that is a just a question of knowing how to prepare them properly. Basically, we just want you to eat as many vegetables as possible. Not because your mother says so, but because it is good for you! Therefore, we make soups with good taste and lots of healthy vegetables ready for you. The soup is available in: Tomato & Basil Indan Carry & Coconut Potato, Leek & Thyme Pumpkin & Ginger Our Principles We use organic ingredients in our products. It s good for the environment, and we also believe it s good for you to eat food that has been grown without pesticides. And although we may not be able to prove it, we believe organic produce often taste better. When we make our soups, we keep it as simple as possible. We do not use any additives, but only ingredients that you will find in your own kitchen. And the preparation process is the same as when making your own soup. Our kettles are just slightly bigger When the soup is hot and ready, we immediately fill it into the soup cups, chill them fast, and distribute them to the shops were they are kept fresh in the chilled cabinet.
