JRE-ORIGINS & FRIENDS FOOD FAIR
After two very successful events and fairs in 2018 at Internorga and 2020 at Intergastra in Germany, JRE-Origins organised a completely independent food fair with Germany's best manufacturers for the first time this year. The event took place at the truly spectacular location; the production site of 'Keltenhof' near Stuttgart. While micro leaves and wild herbs are in full bloom here, you could get to know the people behind them. The innovators of today's food industry, who provide gastronomy and retail with valuable and original food products - in short, the concept of JRE-Origins. In between, Master Classes by JRE-Chefs from Europe and Germany guarantee exceptional taste experiences. All this in a relaxed atmosphere and exclusively for decision-makers in the food industry. Following the fair, the legendary "Keltenhof & Friends Party" took place on Sunday evening.

Day after day, members of the JRE-Origins conjure up the most delicious ingredients and products for chefs and gourmets. "A product is only as good as its origin", one of them once said.

JRE-Origins stands for absolute quality, guaranteed sustainability and strict preservation of regional and variety specialities. Their aim is to support, stimulate and inspire each other and to exchange innovations and information. Everyone's team spirit is to take on new dimensions...
