TheDélicatesse

SWITZERLAND - 2013

Innovative balanced gourmet bites, produced with local and seasonal ingredients.

TheDélicatesse is a new concept of premium fast food for urban nomads, namely those on the go with little time to eat, and for people whose healthy lifestyle and sustainable consumption are important aspects in their daily life. Produced using regional products, respecting local and seasonal recipes, TheDélicatesse are presented in the form of small gourmet bites. The concept is offered in five categories: vegetables, proteins, starches, vegetarians and desserts. Twenty of selected bites TheDélicatesse represent a meal of about 3’345 kJoules (800 kcal), corresponding to the energy intake of a balanced meal. Hot or cold, crunchy or chewy, each bite will allow the consumer to explore a new gustative world and discover delicate flavours. TheDélicatesse are produced near the points of sales through regional production centres in order to respect the supply of local ingredients, ensure freshness and limit unnecessary transportation. Thanks to its practical packaging (recyclable or reusable), the customer has the option to choose from a choice of one to twenty bites, according to his wishes, enabling him to customize his meal. TheDélicatesse are commercialized through two sales channels: fixed Délicatesse-shops in highly frequented locations and mobile food-trucks closed to the consumers’ work places.
