FOUNDER'S MESSAGE
FOUNDER'S MESSAGE
Here’s Mabílio’s message, reflecting his passion for Portuguese pastry and culinary heritage and his vision for bringing it to the world stage:
“In my professional life before the BY Foods endeavour, I traveled extensively. These experiences allowed me to explore diverse gastronomical cultures and observe which ones successfully expanded into the global market. Consequently, this inspired me to reflect on my own country. With its 800 years of history and century-old pastry recipes, Portugal has the potential to shine on the world stage.
However, the challenge was to combine Portuguese pastry traditions with logistics that preserved the product’s quality. To address this, we launched each product independently, focusing on development, marketing, and logistics. Additionally, we offer solutions for all partner needs, from retail to food service. Moreover, our packaging and marketing departments are kept in-house and made available to our partners.
In summary, this involved and sustainable work method is the core of our strategy. Slowly but surely, we aim to promote Portuguese gastronomic culture and prove it can compete with the best.”
