Pizza base producer Deli Conti joins cream of the crop at food event

Nottingham-based artisan dough ball and pizza base producer Deli Conti will be showcasing its range at the UK’s largest food and drink trade fair later this month.
The company, run by Sardinian Luciano Vendone and his wife Susan, will be joining the cream of the crop at Food and Drink Expo 2016, which is being staged at the NEC, Birmingham, from 18th to 20th April.
It’s the chance for Deli Conti, which supplies its dough and pizza bases to restaurants, bars, hotels, schools, universities and caterers across the East Midlands and beyond, to join other producers to highlight the latest innovations in the sector.
And with Luciano lined up to give a number of demonstrations on the Deli Conti stand at the show, it’s also the opportunity for chefs and caterers to discover how to get the best out of the doughs and pizza bases produced by the company.
“We supply many of the key restaurants and bars and other establishments in Nottingham with the dough for their pizza bases, plus many others across the region, but Food and Drink Expo attracts buyers and decision makers from across the UK, so this is a good opportunity for us to showcase our range more widely,” said Susan.
Luciano has been making authentic pizzas for almost 40 years, always using the same method. He regularly hosts training sessions for chefs to advise on how to get the best results from the dough, understanding dough fermentation, and how to make perfect pizza from scratch. This free training to customers is run approximately once a month at the firm’s headquarters.
He will be giving tips during a number of tasting and demo sessions on the Deli Conti stand (B78) at Food and Drink Expo.
Based at a unit on Victoria Business Park, Colwick, the Deli Conti team has more than 25 years of experience in food service.

Food and Drink Expo is staged every two years and is a trade only event open to professionals involved in the food and drink market. Around 600 exhibitors will showcase their latest innovations to thousands of buyers and decision makers.

Accreditation success for Nottingham food service supplier, thanks to business support organisation The Food & Drink Forum

Luciano Vendone
Business support organisation The Food and Drink Forum has successfully guided Nottingham-based firm Deli Conti towards gaining a key food safety accreditation.

The Forum’s technical manager Richard Wigley helped the food service supplier to achieve STS accreditation, which is a requirement to supply for some of the major UK food service organisations.

Now the firm hopes it will open new doors and create additional business for Deli Conti, which supplies freshly cooked authentic pasta sauces and meals, marinated olives and a range of other foods and ingredients to caterers, restaurants, delis, pubs and other outlets.

The company, which is based at Victoria Business Park, Netherfield, has taken on three additional staff over the past six months and now employs eight people.

“Richard’s support and guidance has been invaluable in helping Deli Conti to achieve the STS accreditation, and we couldn’t have done it without him,” said Sue Vendone, operations manager at Deli Conti. “We knew that we were doing all the correct things in terms of quality assurance and food safety, but it was documenting it in the correct format that we needed help with, and Richard’s experience in accreditation proved to be extremely useful.

“Now that we have STS accreditation we will be promoting our products and it will increase customer confidence.”

The Food and Drink Forum, which operates across the East Midlands, supports food and drink manufacturers and others working in the sector in a number of ways, including providing help with food safety accreditations such as BRC (British Retail Consortium), STS and SALSA (Safe and Local Supplier Approval).

“Many retailers and food service operators demand accreditations from their suppliers so it makes excellent business sense for manufacturers to invest in gaining the standards,” said Richard Wigley.

“Having the correct accreditations can open doors with potential customers and lead to new business contracts, so I am delighted to learn that Deli Conti has achieved STS accreditation with support from The Food and Drink Forum.”

Among Deli Conti’s recent customers are a small chain of restaurants in the south and a large national chain of Italian restaurants.

The Food and Drink Forum is based at the Business Centre, Southglade Food Park, Nottingham. For more information about how the organisation supports businesses, please visit http://www.foodanddrinkforum.co.uk/
