Abstract In the middle of globalization era, when consumers have at their disposal more and more prosperous livelihood, when technology is more and more present, when everyone look for the newest and the most modern thing, food sector represents an exception. They try to establish links which go beyond the product itself and pay a special attention to the story behind the product. They want to know about the production site, the origin of ingredients, the persons involved in the production process. This is why the current consumers are looking for unique, sensorial experiences which, according to them, can be found only in original, simple, traditional products. The simplicity and authenticity are qualities the consumers should take into account when they buy food products.
