Our Brand apetito is one of Europe’s leading
suppliers of quality frozen food and catering solutions. For
over 50 years now we have been motivated by a single
passion: to serve great food every day.
We believe at the heart of our businesses is food that’s
innovative and delicious. Our nutritional standards and
strict testing regimes in our externally accredited
laboratories mean our customers can always be sure of
wholesome rewarding food.
For us it is people and a service excellence ethic that
drive our continuous innovation. The resilience of our
systems and teams we form ensure world class standards of
service. The apetito Chefmobil has for instance
revolutionised hot meal delivery service, ensuring every one
of our Meals on Wheels customers get a hot meal where the
first delivery is as appetising as the last and packed with
nutritional value. This was reflected in 2005 when we won
the Queen’s Award for Innovation, and as we seek to improve
our service yet further – we are confident the best is yet
to come.
Our sustained success is founded in the strong
partnerships we foster with all stakeholders in our joint
enterprise, working as a team creating bespoke service
solutions, strong business value and great food.
We recognise that business growth can only be in the
context of sustainable development and social
responsibility. The Brundtland definition of sustainable
development captures the optimistic “one world” vision we
hold of a sustainable future at apetito:
‘The goal of sustainable development is to enable all people
throughout the world to satisfy
their basic needs and enjoy a better quality of life without
compromising the quality of life
of future generations.’ - The Brundtland Commission

Our Offering
Why Frozen?
Nutrition plays a vital role in our lives and maintaining
our customers’ good health is at the forefront of everything
we do and develop at apetito. That’s why we choose the cook
freeze system, when the finest of ingredients combine in a
delicious dish that is immediately frozen for freshness.
Often when catering for large numbers, or even with
individual meals, dishes can be lukewarm or unappetising
when they reach the customer, with nutritional content
suspect at best. apetito’s specialist experience of over
fifty years in the business has revolutionised the provision
of hot meals, and we maintain frozen is the way forward.
A cook freeze meal provision offers a streamlined process
from ingredient to plate. Following preparation and rapid
freezing to -20⁰C, meals are delivered and can be stored
until needed, reducing the amount of required deliveries.
All cook freeze meals are frozen immediately at the point
of preparation to ‘lock in’ freshness and nutrients, as a
result the majority of the nutritional values of the
ingredients used at the start of the dish are retained for
the benefit of the end user. Food safety is of paramount
importance and our combination of the apetito Foodsafe+
system and rigorous microbiological safety tests from
preparation to delivery affords you total peace of mind.
