🧀Cheese expert and founder of the ProCheese Academy from Ardis Group, Oksana Chernova, shares her insights from attending the significant global food exhibition of the year - the Summer Fancy Food Show 2024. 📍The exhibition took place from June 23-25 in New York, bringing together food industry producers and importers to discuss current trends and innovative technologies impacting the food and beverage market. 🔎Oksana Chernova paid special attention to innovations in the cheese and dairy sector: new cheese flavors, current eco-trends in cheese and dairy product production and packaging, vegan dairy alternatives, and more. 🧀In the article, the cheese expert noted a particular trait inherent to local producers: "American cheese producers focus on creating unique flavor profiles for their products. The main goal is to stand out from competitors by taste, not by the price of the cheese. This also leads to a tendency to develop exclusively in one cheese category, aiming to become the producer of choice for consumers". 📌Find more important notes from Oksana Chernova in the full article via the link https://lnkd.in/dXGwSVyt

✨Ardis Group celebrates the fourth anniversary of the Day of Service in the company! 💛The main mission of the company is to develop cheese culture in Ukraine, introducing consumers to the endless variety of cheese flavors and combinations. Successfully achieving this goal requires a professional team, satisfied customers, and reliable partners. Therefore, it is crucial to establish productive and eco-friendly relationships with everyone. This necessity led to a request for changes in the company's external and internal business processes to create a new value of cooperation with Ardis Group — service excellence. 📍In 2016, the company held a strategic session and identified future corporate competencies. In 2019, the service team embarked on a path of service transformation. The Director of the ProCheese Department at Ardis Group, Natalia Kagadiy, recalls: "Although it was a challenging period when the pandemic forced us to work mostly from home, the service team gathered about 20 participants from different departments who were eager for change and ready to work actively." ❣️As a result, in April 2020, the service team formulated the service vision of Ardis Group: caring for the customer, making each of their days easier. It is pleasant to remember how desires and actions gradually translated into successful changes, which, in turn, brought positive results to the company. 🔖On the occasion of the anniversary, we have prepared an extensive article about the history of the company's service transformation - from the inception of the idea to its practical implementation.

Ardis Group is developing Ukrainian cheese culture! And not just with words, but with actions. To this end, we are gathering a collection of Ukrainian craft cheeses to bring them closer to the hearts and baskets of Ukrainian consumers. Today, we are pleased to introduce you to "Stanislavska Syrovarnya" — a craft cheese dairy from Ivano-Frankivsk region, which has been operating since 2015 and has won the highest award at the World Cheese Awards. The founder of the dairy, Natalia Palchak, who was a music teacher in the past, has not stopped creating and is composing an incredible cheese rhapsody from Ukrainian craft cheeses that are appreciated not only in Ukraine but also on the international stage: 🏅Smoked cow's milk cheese "Cheese Bag" received the highest award, Super Gold, at the WCA in 2022. 🏅Semi-hard goat's milk cheese "Motrya" received the Gold award in 2023. Currently, the dairy's assortment consists of more than ten types of cheeses: aged and young, soft, semi-soft, or hard, made from cow's, goat's, and sheep's milk. Stanislavska Cheese Dairy has its own brand store in Ivano-Frankivsk, participates in food fairs, and delivers cheese by post. ❗️We want Ukrainian craft cheeses to become more accessible to cheese lovers, especially those who want to buy Ukrainian — their own, native, familiar. ✨Ardis Group has formed a valuable proposition and offers to craft enterprises: 🔸market and consumer research; 🔸preparation of all necessary documents; 🔸support for trade marketing and SMM promotion; 🔸price control and market monitoring; 🔸additional individual services and training. By collaborating with us, craft cheese dairies will quickly move from being a local producer to becoming a well-known Ukrainian brand on supermarket shelves, saving time and energy to create new cheese flavors. With the help of Ardis Group — a company with 25 years of experience in cheese import, distribution, and production — networks will diversify their cheese assortment and attract consumers who demand Ukrainian products. Their shelves will become a center for the development of Ukrainian cheese culture and a source of increased average check. How do you like this approach? It seems everyone will catch a fish😉 For collaboration, write to us in private messages💛
