Carbs are back, according to The Food People, who have identified renewed consumer interest in staples such as bread and pasta. This is, perhaps, not unsurprising, especially considering the political, economic and social landscape in 207. This landscape, according to Mintel, is leading consumers to the safety of products that are recognisable rather than revolutionary 2. And what could be more recognisable than our principal use for bread: the humble sandwich. The challenge now faced by foodservice operators serving sandwiches is how to maximise their presence on menus, by offering consumers a dish that meets their expectations for fresh, fast, real and honest food: expectations largely driven by the millennial generation and the rise of social media. So how can the humble sandwich live up to, and exceed, these demands? OUR RANGE OF CHEESE BRANDS AND PRODUCTS CAN TURN THE EVERYDAY SANDWICH INTO SOMETHING EXCEPTIONAL.
