Puratos Classics, a new line of highly concentrated flavoring compounds, aims to address these challenges.
“The beauty of classics is that anyone can use them,” says Jessica Blondeel, senior pastry product manager at Puratos USA. “Whether you’re an artisan creating a real lemon mousse cake or a large donut producer looking for real strawberry frosting, the Classics are the answer. There is no need for special equipment and no need to adapt your recipe.
The Classic wallet includes lemon, orange, strawberry and coffee. Each variety is available in a 26lb. bag-in-box – ideal for large bakeries – and 1.25 lbs. pouch with practical spout for artisans, restaurants or in-store bakeries.
