Transparency about where ingredients are sourced and how products are manufactured is crucial for success today. Currently, 69% of consumers prioritize this information, up from 66% in 2021. Consumers prefer locally sourced food products that positively impact all stakeholders. This includes maintaining an entirely ethical supply chain, using unsprayed crops, and ensuring fair pay for farmers. At Puratos, we are committed to responsible sourcing, reflecting our dedication to ethical practices and sustainability.
Beyond their contribution to tastier finished applications, both Topfil Forest Berries Pieces 60% and Praliné Collection Noisette France 64% are made with high-quality and carefully selected ingredients. This not only enhances the flavor but also drives value and quality perceptions among consumers.
This traditional praline is made from 64% French hazelnuts, carefully selected for their exceptional quality and their subtle taste. Enhanced by a touch of vanilla, this praline stands out for its rich flavor profile.
The dried fruits are grown and broken in France, then transformed in our factory in the heart of the Vosges, ensuring a product that is 100% French. This dedication to using locally sourced ingredients highlights Puratos’s commitment to excellence and quality.
Topfil Forest Berries Pieces 60% fruit filling has a complex and balanced sweet and fruity aroma profile. Made from berries sourced from the North (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania), the most forest-rich part of Europe and home to 50 kinds of wild berries, 37 of which are edible, this filling is sweet with a subtle astringent character. All the berries contribute to the fruity notes that are pronounced yet harmonious.
The raspberries add a bright and pronounced flavor, while the blackberries provide a bold and slightly bitter taste with natural sweetness and a hint of tartness. The wild blueberries offer an intense fruit aroma and sweet taste with a subtle sourness. Together, these berries create a delicious fruit-filling profile.
“Berries are recognized for their health benefits due to their high content of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Berries are low in calories and high in fiber.”, says Sandra Dane, Magister of Agronomy, Pure horticultural research station.
