The fresh products for minimarkets that customers look for most

The consumption habits of the Portuguese have changed over the years. Understanding which fresh products for supermarkets are most sought after by customers can be a laborious and difficult task, as they may vary from region to region. Still, and based on our experience as leaders in the distribution of food products, we see that there is a set of items that are preferred in almost the entire country.

Chicken and giblet soup

Chicken soup, available in a bucket, is a practical product to have available in your supermarket. Customers look for this product because of its practicality. Chicken gizzards are a snack enjoyed from north to south of the country and to meet this demand it is enough to have chicken giblets available.
