Case Study: Colli del Garda boosts consumer trust and food traceability with IBM Food Trust

How blockchain helps food stay healthy, high-quality and delicious

Colli del Garda, a family-owned cured meat producer, needed a better way to prove the quality, sustainability, and traceability of its products to consumers. The company worked with IBM and IBM Business Partner Var Group S.p.A. to address this visibility challenge using the IBM Food Trust platform and a blockchain-based traceability solution.

IBM implemented Trusty, an integrated supply chain and traceability system backed by IBM Food Trust, with QR-code access for shoppers through Apio S.r.L.’s app. The solution gave Colli del Garda real-time visibility into animals, production, shipping, and product history, helping cut costs, simplify traceability, boost consumer confidence, reduce counterfeit risk, and support compliance with food standards.
