Not all ready meals are the same. Thanks to technological innovation, it is now possible to guarantee safety, freshness, and taste without added preservatives. The BEN FATTO by Golfera BEN FATTO by Golfera (opens in a new tab) line is born from this philosophy: to offer a practical and genuine alternative that preserves the flavour of dishes as if they were freshly prepared. This result is possible thanks to HPP (High Pressure Processing) technology, an innovative system that still few companies in Italy use.
Preservatives and synthetic additives: what they are
Preservatives are substances added to food to prolong its shelf life and prevent deterioration caused by bacteria, mould, and oxidation. Synthetic additives, on the other hand, are a broader set of chemical substances that can be used not only to preserve, but also to colour, thicken, or flavour foods.
The presence of these substances in ready meals is regulated; for this reason, when they are used, they must be clearly declared on the label. However, many wellness-conscious consumers today prefer ready meals without preservatives or additives and look for quick, natural, and tasty dishes.
Golfera's innovation with the BEN FATTO line
To produce quality ready meals without the use of preservatives and additives, we carefully process each ingredient and use innovative processes to preserve the authentic taste and organoleptic characteristics of our preparations. The secret? It is the innovative technologies that allow us to combine practicality and quality without compromise.
HPP (High Pressure Processing), a cold process that preserves all the authentic taste of our dishes, without adding preservatives, as if they were freshly prepared. To this is added the Skin Pack technology, designed to optimize preservation and preparation: during heating in the microwave, a light steam bell forms that distributes the heat evenly, bringing the dishes back to their ideal consistency and flavour.
HPP: the cold technology for safe and tasty dishes
For the BEN FATTO line, Golfera uses HPP (High Pressure Processing) technology: a non-thermal cold treatment that applies high hydrostatic pressures for a few minutes. This innovative process guarantees maximum food safety and eliminates unwanted bacteria and microorganisms, without resorting to chemical preservatives or invasive heat treatments.
The main advantages of HPP include:
- Intact taste and freshness: the ingredients maintain their flavour, aroma, and texture as if they were freshly prepared.
- Natural and ecological process: food safety without chemical additives or aggressive cooking.
- Optimal preservation: longer product shelf life without compromising its quality and freshness.
Thanks to HPP technology, Golfera ready meals combine practicality and quality, offering safety and flavour without compromise.
The importance of choosing preservative-free ready meals
Eating preservative-free ready meals means making a conscious choice for the pleasure of the palate. Preservatives and synthetic additives, although regulated, can alter the flavours, aromas, and textures of food, while HPP (High Pressure Processing) technology allows the organoleptic characteristics of the ingredients to be kept intact.
Choosing BEN FATTO Golfera means bringing to the table dishes where you can appreciate each ingredient in its most natural form, where quality and harmony of flavours are enhanced.
