The kind of brief we take

Four briefs we take often.

If yours looks like one of these, send it over.

“Our fruit pieces bleed into the crumb.”

Bake-stable purée cubes in 3–5, 5–8 or 8–10 mm, with natural coating agents that hold shape and colour through the oven and disperse evenly through the batter.

“We need the fruit to stay crisp for twelve months.”

Freeze-dried fruit — colour and structure intact, very low residual moisture, no cold chain. Strawberry, fig, peach, banana, mango, raspberry, apple and pomegranate.

“Match this pizza sauce, but at our price.”

Send us the product. Aseptic production from fresh seasonal tomatoes, matched to your specification, in tins, jars, 20 L bag-in-box or 220 L drum.

“We want a coated fruit snack, not a hard centre.”

We coat freeze-dried, infused or natural dried fruit depending on the bite you want. Freeze-dried snaps. Infused stays soft. Natural dried eats chewier.
