but it is a future that concerns us all
and especially concerns the younger
generation.
So Coop asked about the food of
the future and it does not only with
its institutional presence, but also
through a study commissioned to Doxa
in 8 countries around the world as
examples of different situations.
The research is divided on the
present and future. And the present
is characterized by its own style
food, as declares almost half of
the sample (45%), but is on the
path of globalization. Also emerge
alternative eating styles and somehow
transnational.
The Foodies (typical food and quality)
is 13% but in positions of I note also
the low-calorie diet (10%), believe the
healthy (10%), vegan (8%) or biological
(8%). Only a small part of the planet
seems reluctant to contamination, if
it is true that only 22% of the sample
declares to never eat ethnic food
and almost a quarter said instead of
consuming it often. 90% of Germans
and British claims in fact eating ethnic
often or sometimes, the more skeptical
are the Brazilians and Italians.
Food tomorrow: taboos fall down.
“There is a certain optimism stated
by respondents - said Albino Russo,
Head of Research Department ANCC-
Coop - but there is a clear awareness
of the change of food in thirty years,
and because the technology will make
a difference, both because of climate
change of pollution and population
growth.”
These drivers of change in the
perception of the interviewees,
will impact significantly above the
naturalness of food (64%) on its quality
and safety (62%), the same type of food
(60%). Just the expectation of such
great change induces specific concerns
about food handlers who eat (60%) and
the effects induced by environmental
pollution (53%). 72% of the sample
shows full awareness on the spread of
GM food.
Moreover worldwide consumers
surveyed do not provide for a
reduction of the amount consumed
(only in the UK and Germany predicts
a reduction in the frequency of
consumption of meat) while the diet
seems to move to a greater variety with
greater use of carbohydrates, fruits and
vegetables.
What’s in the pot of the future? Fall
many taboos. We will find GMOs (72%
of the sample shows full awareness
on their spread), many pills (75%) and
synthetic flesh (60%), there will be
bugs and algae anyway foods from
nutritional balanced. The most eclectic
and open to change taste the Indians,
the Chinese and the Brazilians, but
also 70% of Italians would try the food
in pills and 44% of our countrymen do
not even would pull back in front of an
insect. Against this, for all the fear still
prevails on the possible manipulation
of food (60%) and the fear of a planet
less and less controllable or on the
precipice environment (53%). 43%
indicates as his biggest fear is a food
too expensive.

Mission: quality and
service
Thanks to the belonging to CIC, Noval
is characterized by a competitive offer
in the food and non-food areas.
“Quality products with an adequate
logistics”: these are the words that best
describe Noval, a company specializing
in the distribution of food and service
products for kitchens, bars, restaurants
and delicatessens, on the market in
Turin and province since 1973.
The company’s philosophy is to offer
an efficient and timely service. The
products are chosen carefully, paying
attention to quality. The warehouse
contains more than 2,500 references,
including fresh, frozen and preserved.
They range from rice and pasta from
flour, yeast and bakery products, oil
and vinegar to vegetables, tuna, the
anchovies and other species of fish
frozen, to fresh meat and eggs, in
addition to non-food kitchens and
refrigeration systems including. The
offer focuses on quality products,
keeping pace with the needs of
customers seeking solutions that enable
them to work better and faster; niche,
but at the same time easy to present.
Much progress has been made since
the activity started, over 40 years ago;
thanks to membership Cooperativa
Italiana Catering of which Noval is
one of the founding members. “Unity
is strength - says Italo Nebiolo, owner
of Noval and President of CIC - to be
competitive you have to increase their
size. CIC is a purchasing based in
Segrate, where a team of select products
and processes lists. So we can all have
products at more competitive prices and
pass on these benefits to the consumer.
“
With the assortment Noval has also
expanded its structure: in 2012 was
inaugurated the new warehouse,
bringing the covered area from 1500 to
5000 square meters. The inauguration
was an opportunity to open the doors
of Noval restaurateurs, who have had
the opportunity to meet not only the
company, but also its suppliers.
It has since become an annual event,
“The Open Day Noval - explains Sara
Nebiolo - is a show in which the world
of food comes into contact with the
producers. In this event the caterers
have the opportunity to see the latest
trends of a market that is evolving, and
we show them the full range of products
that we treated. So restaurant owners
can understand that there are not only
the representatives, but also a structure
that gives them support and guarantees,
speed and on-time deliveries. “
