FEB. MAR. 2019 III delivery, present in 34 cities in Italy and now preparing to extend its service by strengthening in the regions of southern Italy. To date, the cities in the south where you can order meals from home with Deliveroo are Pescara, Naples, Bologna, Rome, Bari, Cagliari, Messina, Florence, Pisa and Perugia. But now, after landing in the capital of campania in November 2018, Deliveroo is ready to debut in other key cities in the south of Italy: from Taranto to Reggio Calabria to Palermo, just to name a few. A consolidation of the service at national level that in 2019 will pass, explains Matteo Sarzana, General Manager Deliveroo Italy, “not only through a greater spread in the south, but also by a considerable increase in the cities reached in the north. Deliveroo is a national service, and will be increasingly present throughout the territory.” The success of the service, also in terms of the growing contribution to the catering sector, is confirmed above all by the increase in the number of partner restaurants that now exceeds 5,000, thanks to an increase of 180% compared to January last year. There is an increase also the number of riders who have chosen to work with Deliveroo: more than 6.500, +400% in the last 12 months. Restaurants: for choice, pizza makes the difference (especially in Italy) The pizza is confirmed as one of the most popular food items eaten at a restaurant. Confirming this is a research conducted by TheFork, which analysed the trend of pizzerias on its portal in the second half of 2018. Monitoring shows that, in countries where the application is active, of more than 54,000 restaurants booked, almost 12,000 (22%) prepare and serve pizza. As expected, the Italy is the leader (6,000 restaurants that serve pizza), followed by France (more than 2,000), and Spain (more than 1,500). The dish demonstrates its great success because, only in the period considered, the number of bookings in these restaurants represented more than 15% of all undertaken by TheFork. Surprisingly, the country where the most pizza restaurants are booked is Brazil (29% of bookings), followed by Italy (28%) and Sweden, while there are fewer bookings in Spain. At home, the cities where pizzerias are booked online are Rome (24% of reservations), Milan (19% of reservations), Turin (5% of reservations), Florence (5% of reservations) and Bologna (2% of reservations).. In addition to these cities, even in Monza users are among those most often looking for pizzerias (3% of visits start from the search for a pizzeria). The quality trademark for bread and pasta produced with Sicilian wheat is here A quality trademark will be created to identify producers of bread and pasta using Sicilian wheat not treated with glyphosate and free from the poisons that too often reach our tables through products made from ingredients of dubious origin. The initiative is by U.Di.Con, the Union for the Defence of Consumers, which has been fighting for months for food product safety. “The birth of the memorandum of understanding with the producers of bread and pasta - said the President of Sicily U.Di.Con Denis Nesci - is a way to ensure added value to a product that is already good, but that will become safer. Finally, the creation of a trademark chosen and designed with care for this initiative, will serve to identify a product of quality and safety.” Great success for Saporum Saporum has just ended, the event organized by the company Food Group in Sardinia, which took place from 17 to 18 February in Sassari, which saw the participation of many CIC exhibitors/vendors, and more than 3000 people, including restaurateurs, bartenders and Members of our Cooperative. A food fair in all respects desired and designed by the Group to allow customers to get to know use with their own hands the company’s products. Saporum hosts all the companies that produce CIC- branded products, as well as small local producers and other independent companies whose products are part of the Group’s range. It is a biennial event that is having excellent results in terms of attendance that comes from all over Sardinia, but also from Corsica, a country that is giving us great satisfaction in terms of orders,” explains Vincenzo Murgia, owner of Gruppo Alimentare Sardo (as well as President of CIC). Pizza, beats pasta, salads, and sandwiches for lunch The pizza continues to conquer the palate of Italians: one in two (52%) prefers it during lunch-hour to pasta (43%), salad (13%), sandwiches (39%) and piadina (29%). This information emerged from a study promoted by the Buitoni Culinary Lab Observatory which carried out the study on about 2.500 Italians between the ages of 20 and 55. According to the analysis, - reports Ansa - there are those who say that they would eat it every day (4%) because “it gives a certain satisfaction at an emotional level” (39%) and because “being versatile, it can be eaten anywhere (13%)”. At the same time, 14% of the sample surveyed said that they favour sharing: something done with friends (29%) or with their partner (18%). As for taste, the absolute favourite pizza is ham and mushrooms (32%); if you look at the characteristics, whether it is Margherita (chosen by a more
