In the latest concluded NSW Business Chamber Awards, YesYouCan won the 'Excellence in Small Business' category and was a finalist for 'Excellence in Export'. This has propelled the company to continue its efforts to bring to the market more healthy, vegan and delicious alternatives.
A healthy and sustainable lifestyle has always been an advocacy for Cristina, who migrated to Australia from Brazil in 1997. SalDoce Fine Foods, a company she and her husband Martin Talacko founded in 2000, has been developing delicious allergen free and vegan products for customers with food intolerances or who wish to follow a healthier diet. The company is the pioneer for introducing gluten free baking mixes to the Australian market, having started with the manufacturing of a Brazilian cheese bread they called 'Frevos' in Australia. They have also ventured into expanding distribution to the international markets like India, Middle East and UAE, Asia and now the UK.
