Experience

  • Managing Director at www.rawfoods.hu
    Apr 2017 - Present · 9 yrs 4 mos

    We are working on bringing healthy raw vegan food products to more people. We 've always wanted to work with what we believe in, what we are professional at and what we love. Our commitment to a healthy lifestyle and the environment, as well as our passion for desserts, have actually marked our professional path. In 2017, we founded our company, Raw Foods Ltd., based in Solymár. We started making raw vegan desserts, on one hand from the personal motivation already mentioned above. On the other hand, we have seen that although there is a market demand for healthy desserts, it is difficult to get quality and delicious products. Our cakes under the Lavita brand name, are desserts made with modern technology. Our products are made without the addition of gluten, milk, eggs, additives, preservatives or refined sugar. After their preparation, we immediately freeze them, so Raw Foods Ltd. is the only company in Hungary that produces frozen, raw vegan sweets. We currently have more than 150 partners in Hungary and Austria, who following the gastronomic trends and the needs of their guests, also offers Lavita desserts. With the help of our partners, we would like to make it possible that anyone who is health-conscious, open for novelties, or possibly has food-sensitivity, can have an easy access to healthy dessert alternatives.
