European Freeze Dry has launched a new range of gourmet ingredients, to be used in high-quality snacks and ready meals with a shelf life of up to two years.
The new range includes high-quality, freeze-dried ingredients that can be included in savoury and sweet product developments, as well as ready meals, noodle pots and cereal bars.
The ingredients include: Mulled spiced apple, Char sui BBQ pork, Carne Asada grilled beef and Chilli marinated spicy shrimp.
Sarah Lacey, development manager for European Freeze Dry said: “Our new gourmet range of freeze-dried ingredients will allow food producers to develop exciting and tasty new products.
“Consumers tastes are more refined now than ever before and we are ready to help NPD managers to meet the demand for high quality, luxury ingredients to make up ready-to-eat products such as ready meals, porridge pots and noodle cups.”
She continued: “Each product is gently freeze-dried, meaning that it retains the flavour, structure and nutritional value, while remaining tasty to eat for up to two years at room temperature”.
The company also introduced its range of vegan ingredients earlier in the year, which included turtle beans, diced sweet potato, black-eyed beans, diced beetroot and caramelised onion.
Sarah added: “Our R&D team is constantly working with new flavours and products to create the best possible ingredients. This includes testing in our real-life kitchen with a team of tasters, conducting trials and market research to ensure our products are as tasty as possible when they become available for purchase.
“Additionally, we are always working with customers to help bring their ideas to life, whether that is crisp seasonings, salad toppers, beverage flavours or something entirely new,” she concluded.
