Press Release: KLM launches 'From Holland' Food & Wine Festival
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
AMSTELVEEN, 1 October 2010 - All flights operated out of Amsterdam by KLM Royal
Dutch Airlines in the months of October and November will be celebrating the
'From Holland' festival. This year's inflight festival focuses on KLM's
typically Dutch characteristics. Passengers will be treated to a taste of
'Holland' during their journey.
Dutch meals
Passengers travelling in World Business Class (WBC) on KLM's intercontinental
flights operated out of Amsterdam will be treated to meals created by master
chef Wilco Berends of the De Nederlanden Restaurant in Vreeland. Berends is well
known for his exceptional culinary creations, originating from a kitchen crowned
with a Michelin star. The salt and pepper sets in WBC will be miniature pairs of
wooden clogs - a famous symbol of the Netherlands.
Typically Dutch meals will also be served in Economy Class. The menu features
several dishes including red cabbage with beef casserole and a delicious
Indonesian meal highlighting Dutch heritage.
The festival will also include European flights for the first time this year.
Blond Amsterdam designed a cheerful 'From Holland with love' packaging concept
for the sandwiches.
Dutch wines
KLM will also be serving Dutch wines on board. Wijnhoeve De Kleine Schorre
located in Zeeland will be supplying wines for the 'From Holland' festival. With
vineyards of ten hectares in size, it is clearly the biggest in the country. The
Achterhoekse Wijnbouwers winegrowers will also be supplying wines. According to
the Dutch inspection services, these winegrowers have achieved excellent results
in recent years with various white and red wines and rosés. What's more, KLM
will be offering wines produced by Dutch cellars abroad.
During the flight, passengers can sit back and enjoy Dutch films, music and
programmes available via their Inflight Entertainment Systems.
"We transport many passengers of different nationalities every day. We opted for
the 'Holland' theme this time round so that passengers have an opportunity to
experience KLM's Dutch character during their journey. Dutch cuisine and Dutch
wines are surprising and boast a high level of quality. We are proud to be able
to offer them to our passengers during the 'From Holland' festival," said Erik
Varwijk, Executive Vice President International & the Netherlands.
