The introduction of these new products is a result of dedicated research and market know-how. We know when served along with any chutney or preserve, the taste of the edible elevates to a new level. In fact, there are many who adore consuming bread dipped directly in chutneys and preserves. They are also served along with curries, fried snacks, with other edibles such as roasted poultry, meat, sandwiches, burgers, etc.

In broad terms, a chutney is a relish originated in India. It is usually a blend of fruit, spices and herbs made to pamper the taste buds of chutney admirers. Interestingly, earlier chutneys were intended to be eaten soon after their production. However, with advancement in technology and innovative packaging, the shelf life of modern chutneys increased to a large extent.

Preserves, on the other hand, are made by cooking the fruits with sugar until the mixture thickens. Also, the medium to large chunks of fruits are left in preserves. They are then either canned or sealed for long-term storage. In many parts of the world, preserves are also prominent as fruit spreads and even fruit butter.

Shimla Hills always strives for the upliftment and betterment of the society.

Today, it is a moment of great pride and hope for the entire World as Egypt opens up the expanded Suez Canal to boost flourishing trade between Asia and Europe. At Shimla Hills, we’re all excited to witness the upsurge in our business with the European countries owing to the reduction in waiting time and transit time as the expanded canal can now allow 97 ships to pass everyday as against 49 earlier.

Europe is an important destination for our home-grown Indian food products including fruit pulp, puree, concentrate, frozen fruits and vegetables (IQF) and soft commodities like nuts, pulses, spices and grains. Shimla Hills has a strong presence in Europe, with a stock-and-sales office in the port city of Rotterdam and customers spread across the entire European region. Since inception, we have been a part of Europe’s and the world’s biggest trade shows, i.e. Anuga and SIAL. The expansion of Suez Canal overwhelms our team like never before!

Already, traversing via Suez Canal, which connects the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, reduces maritime supply chain routes by 43 percent as sailing around Africa is avoided. And with the increased capacity of the canal, that can accommodate two-way traffic movement of the world’s largest vessels, it is poised to create a landmark impact on the global food trade.
