Passionate foodie by profession
For our blog author Hannah, the letter P stands for passion for food: checking out the latest products in the supermarket or strolling through the market, cooking beetroot gnocchi and baking rosemary focaccia or simply savouring delicious treats. One (food) tour through South-East Asia and India and a far too large collection of spices later, it was obvious she wanted to turn food into a profession. An apprenticeship in wholesale and foreign trade at a large supermarket chain was followed by a degree in nutritional science. A few years ago, she discovered her love of writing and joined KoRo as a copywriter. Whether newsletters, postcards, adverts or product texts - Hannah's content can be found wherever KoRo is present. Her current favourite project: the KoRo blog.
In her free time, Hannah enjoys exploring new places and cafés, travelling and reading a lot. When she cooks, she usually cooks on the spur of the moment and takes inspiration from whatever is available. If she sees an ingredient she doesn't know, she has to cook and try it straight away. She shares her foodie knowledge about ingredients and nutrition in blog articles, or she storms the office kitchen and develops recipes that she then feeds to her colleagues.
Hungry for more? Then check out the blog and find out all about kefir and kombucha, what actually constitutes a healthy diet, what phytochemicals are and why food is de-oiled. Of course, a good read calls for a suitable snack!

Deep dive: KoRo's supply chain
It is very important to us here at KoRo to shorten supply chains where possible and to be transparent about them, in order to enable consumers to make informed decisions. But what exactly we mean by short supply chains sometimes raises questions. This is why we want to explain how we approach the topic of supply chains, what we have already implemented, and where there is still room for improvement. As a comparatively young company on the market, we are still far from perfect and are on a journey towards more direct trade routes and more transparent supply chains. In this article, we would like to give you an insight into the challenges we face on this journey, why transparency in supply chains is important, and how we are approaching this topic.
