ABOUT US Fresh Express started in 1974 as a Mediterranean restaurant; a humble, family owned and founded by Mr. Costas Vouyoukas and his sons, John and Girar in Abu Dhabi. By 1988, the Emirate of Abu Dhabi was growing rapidly. The Vouyoukas family saw this as an opportunity, and by using their extensive knowledge of seafood and network of suppliers, the company began to supply local seafood to the Emirate’s hospitality sector. The family vision was to expand the operations, and in 1994 the company started the importation and worldwide sourcing of fresh produce and gourmet food items. The success of this and the rapid growth of the hospitality sector elsewhere in the UAE made it logical to start operating in Dubai in 1997. Today, Fresh Express is recognized as one of the leading food and non-alcoholic beverage distributors in the premium food and hospitality business in the Gulf region. Working with the best hotels, restaurants, cafes, and supermarkets in the region, Fresh Express is now a team of over 500 highly skilled and dedicated people from diverse nationalities are an extension of the Vouyoukas family are committed to supplying the finest quality gourmet products and offers consistent service to all customers. 1 FRESH EXPRESS / CONDIMENTS

The elaboration of a different vinegar. Along with its origin, sherry vinegar owes its genuine characteristics to its aging process. Vinegar is aged in Jerez cellars following the traditional criaderas and soleras system, a method that explains the high complexity and extraordinary concentration of this condiment. Under this system, the vinegar for bottling is obtained from the row of boots located at ground level, called solera, which contains the oldest vinegars. The amount extracted or “takes out”, always a small part, is replaced by slightly younger vinegar from the row of boots immediately above, called the first criadera. This process is called “refreshed” or “dew” in the winery jargon. The same operation is repeated “refreshing” the first criadera with the vinegar contained in the third row of boots, or second criadera, and so on. This dynamic rearing method is ideal for the acetic acid bacteria to slowly and painstakingly perfect their work; In each criadera, the one that once was wine acquires a higher degree of acidity, concentration and complexity. A system that also explains why in the Marco de Jerez vinegars are produced that are subjected to exceptionally long aging, over 10 or 20 years.

It has been the winter of the Great Taste Award three years in a row for its and fruity taste. MUSTARD: Prepared according to a traditional French recipe with stone-ground brown and black mustard seeds. The specialty of this classic lies in the mustard seeds that are not de-piled and therefore retain their ful-bodied aroma. Its mild acidity comes from the juice of white grapres that are harvested and pressed before their sugar content increases and the bitter tones fade away. With a wonderful interplay of robust heat, aromatic oils and grape tannins, it is the perfect accompaniment to a hearty roast. 48WWW.FRESHEXPRESSINT.COM
