No salt, no glutamate, no E numbers
Trapeza makes seasonings with no salt or other additives.
In the late 1990s, when low-quality products flooded into Russia and local food enterprises were saving on everything, Trapeza started to produce seasonings with no salt or flavor enhancers, making a strategic choice between price and quality. NEVER SAVE ON QUALITY is the basic strategy for our company. The quality of materials, processing and cleaning determines the quality of the final Trapeza products.
Since then, Trapeza spices and seasonings have been deservedly valued for their high quality and natural ingredients. And that is confirmed by not only marketing research of consumer preferences but also by steady demand.
Naturalness
In 1999, naturalness and flavor of the product were chosen as the strategic priority for the development of Trapeza recipes. Since then, we have been working on our products with maximum care and focus. NEVER SAVE ON RECIPES is another basic strategy of our company.
Leading food technologists, experienced chefs, and culinary experts are involved in the development of our recipes.
Ready-Made Solutions
In this dynamic age, simplicity and speed of cooking often have a determining effect on consumers’ decision to buy. Therefore, Trapeza meets the needs by offering ready to cook solutions or meal makers, i. e. Trapeza Second Course seasoning mixes for cooking certain dishes that include a set of components and a recipe, and are easy to cook as well as Retsepty Vkusa baking mixes that one only needs to add some water and oil or butter to before baking to make a dough.
