At 3p.M. Local time on June 3 in Rome, Italy, Zhao Gang, Vice President of Liangpin Shop Foods, received the award certificate from Patrick de Arle, President of the Monde Selection (World Quality Evaluation Conference). This is the first time that a Chinese snack brand has made a “high profile” appearance on the international stage.

Monde Selection, established in 1961, is an international quality conference with a long history in the world today. The gold medal is known as the “Nobel Prize” for food and represents the highest industrial standard in Europe and even the world.

This year, 80 independent experts, including Michelin chefs, wine tasters, university professors, nutritionists and dieticians, reviewed 2,948 products from 90 countries in the world through 175 tasting sessions. The 20 dimensions of safety, raw materials, packaging, taste and nutrition were evaluated based on European Union food law-level evaluation standards. Liangpin Shop Foods selected 23 snacks and got 4 gold, 13 silver and 6 copper, which means that, the Chinese snacks represented by Liangpin Shop Foods have won the recognition and recommendation of the international food industry.

At the prize presentation site, 23 fine products such as “Twelve Classic Gift Boxes”, hand-peeled pine nuts, marinated lotus root, Japanese scallop and preserved pork, which won the German iF design award, attracted the attention of judges and guests. Judge Dimitri Delloye pointed out that he likes pork jerky very much, presenting rich taste and different levels of mouthfeel, and is a delicious snack with Chinese characteristics.

“It tastes crisp and delicious.” Dimitri Delloye was also impressed by the products of crisp dates owned by Liangpin Shop Foods. As the gold award-winning product, crisp dates has selected authentic raw materials from “Dongzao Town” and processed them by a unique low-temperature oil treatment process. They are crisp, free of residue, and easy to melt in the mouth. They are particularly loved by the judges. In addition, the three products of integrated nuts, dried mango and chestnut kernel also won the gold medal of the Monde Selection.
