Integrating food research into the process of developing new products allows the company to detect new consumer trends and respond better to current needs," said Mr. Castello, in an interview for CdeComunicacion.
At this time, the company has launched in the Spanish market the Brooklyn Town, the first deep-frozen hamburgers on the market and a deep-frozen vegan burger, Vegreen. Also, HAQ is the first brand of halal deep-frozen burgers delivered in the domestic market.
