Spanish flexitarian company Flax & Kale officially launches in the UK at the Plant Based World Expo 2022 today at Olympia, London.
Pioneered over 40 years ago, Flax & Kale was ahead of its time, opening restaurants focusing predominantly on flexitarian, healthy food before it became popular. Its mission was to be a driver of change through enjoyable, natural food whilst respecting the environment. It has poured all this experience into becoming the only multi-category food tech brand with its production capacity and R&D centre.
Flax & Kale aims to democratise healthy eating for everyone, innovating the world of tasty, and sustainable food. To accomplish this mission and keep growing sustainably Flax & Kale is committed to the most demanding international standards: B Corp and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
Flax & Kale is known for their fermented products such as kombuchas and non-dairy cheeses. Low in sugars, kombuchas are one of its bestselling products with probiotics that are made with cold-pressed juices in a wide range of flavoursome recipes. The healthy alternative to soft drinks has options such as traditional cola or lemonade: Lemon Fantasy, Kombucola or the signature recipes with different ingredients like spirulina or passion fruit: Blue Mojito, Symbiotic Passion.
The brand's innovations are also seen within the category of fermented cheeses which are spreadable cheese, creamy cheese, mature cheddar, and semi-cured Manchego-style cheese. To complete its portfolio, Flax & Kale has a range of meat alternatives and ready meals, which are available for retailers. The company’s expertise and production capacity has allowed them to manufacture white label solutions for like-minded partners for the mutual benefit of both brands.
At the show, Flax & Kale is offering people the chance to taste their incredible cuisine with a three-course meal at the culinary theatre using their range. Visitors will see the executive chef, Sergi Barulls, and CEO Jordi Barri cooking up a storm accompanied by Flax & Kale chef Dani Blanco. They will cook delicious recipes showing different uses of their products. And to celebrate its launch in the UK, this will be accompanied by the best-selling Dragon Lemonade Kombucha made into a cocktail. At the stand, they will also be serving cocktails at the show.
“We are excited to be launching in the UK, an important market for us, where there is a strong appetite for tasty, healthy and sustainable products,” said Barri. “Plant-based produce isn’t just for vegetarians and vegans, so it is a growing category. We look forward to more people being able to enjoy our healthy yet nutritious range of food and drink very soon, regardless of their regular diet,” he added.
