In this quest, VLAIO and VIVES ACADEMY supported us with their expertise. The tasteful result of this cooperation was born with the name: “Houblonesse”, a hand-crafted range of regional, hop shoot based products.
With Houblonesse, we have succeeded in developing new talents in our employees towards our goal of circular and short-chain economy.
A product that used to be considered waste – the hard, fibrous part of hop shoots – was given a new destination. From now on, it is used as a raw material for the high-end products of Houblonesse.
That’s how we became “food savors” avant la lettre.
