Solucious launches Culino as the foundation of the professional kitchen

At Horecatel, Solucious, the foodservice wholesaler of Colruyt Group, is presenting the renewed and significantly expanded Culino range. With a strong focus on consistency and ease of use, Solucious is responding to the growing demand among food professionals for high-quality core products.

In a sector where efficiency and profitability are crucial, an increasing number of hospitality entrepreneurs are consciously opting for strong private labels. Solucious addresses this trend with Culino as a reliable foundation for the professional kitchen: stable products that consistently deliver the same quality, taste and performance, while always being in stock and available for immediate delivery.

Pieter-Jan Vandevelde, Business Unit Manager at Solucious, explains: “The modern food professional is, above all, looking for certainty: products that deliver the same results day after day, allowing managers to focus entirely on creativity and service. With Culino, Solucious provides that stability. It is a brand built on reliability and a fair balance between quality and price — a combination that is essential for our customers to maintain healthy margins.

The range is being significantly expanded to meet the diverse needs of the sector. While the brand currently includes 280 references and continues to grow each week, the portfolio will increase to more than 400 products in the near future.

Bart Van Lierde, Head of Purchasing at Solucious, adds: “Culino is designed to form the backbone of the kitchen. We have optimised the existing range and will be introducing numerous new products in the coming months that closely reflect the daily reality of our customers. These are high-quality core products at competitive prices, providing hospitality businesses with the necessary flexibility in their budgets.

With this strong focus on developing a dedicated private label for professional kitchens, Solucious reinforces its ambition to become the preferred partner for the Belgian hospitality sector, offering solutions that make a difference both in the kitchen and in cost management.


Culino RecuPuree wins a Horecatel Award

On Sunday 8 March, one of the Culino products was already honoured at Horecatel. The “RecuPuree” is a fresh purée made from potatoes that have been removed from the standard circuits. The purée has a smooth and creamy texture and is suitable for piping. The product comes in a ready-to-use bag for regeneration in a bain-marie or combi oven and combines operational efficiency, social commitment and reduction of food waste in the professional kitchen.
