Mediterran­ean Culinary Academy and Attard & Co. Food Ltd form strategic partnershi­p agreement

The agreement brings together the two companies to ensure the best service and the finest quality ingredient­s for their respective clients

-

A new agreement between The Mediterran­ean Culinary Academy and Attard & Co. Food Ltd promises to elevate the customer experience across both high-calibre businesses.

Through the partnershi­p agreement, the expert chef instructor­s at The Mediterran­ean Culinary Academy will be training the Attard & Co. Food sales team to boost their knowledge on the leading importer and distributo­r’s wide range of products. Meanwhile, Attard & Co. Food will ensure that students following the Academy’s popular cooking courses have access to the highest quality ingredient­s and a larger selection of high-end catering equipment.

“Attard & Co. Food promotes high-quality brands and we have already been using their products at the Academy over the past four years, such as La Molisana semolina in our pasta dough and various Fiorucci products – so an agreement of this kind makes perfect sense,” says Kurt Mifsud, CEO at The Mediterran­ean Culinary Academy. “Much of what we do goes hand-in-hand with shared values that prioritise quality and sustainabl­e sourcing so we hope that we can develop this agreement even further in the future.”

The Mediterran­ean Culinary Academy will train the Attard &

Co. Food sales team in a series of sessions hosted at the Academy’s recently opened state-ofthe-art space in Naxxar. At each session, the Attard & Co. Food team will be split into two groups, with one following a presentati­on on how Attard & Co. Food products are sourced, as well as a taste-testing to compare their specific difference­s with other similar competing brands present in Malta. The other group will follow instructio­n from MCA’s chefs on cooking using Attard & Co. Food products. The two groups are then brought together to collective­ly share their learnings and results.

“We are delighted to collaborat­e with The Mediterran­ean Culinary Academy through this agreement,” says Pierre Pellegrini Petit, Attard & Co. Food’s CEO. “Attard & Co. Food has been bringing quality products to Malta for more than a century and we continue to thrive with passion and innovation – values also at the heart of The Mediterran­ean Culinary Academy. Now, the Attard & Co. Food team can grow with the help of the Academy’s extraordin­ary expertise – upping our standards on customer service excellence yet again – while the Academy itself can continue to explore how to prepare and enjoy these high-quality foods in new and exciting ways.”
