Gulfood Manufacturing: Chocolate and fruit rhombs from HERZA

HERZA Schokolade, a specialist in the art of chocolate making for over 90 years, is one of the world’s leading suppliers of high quality chocolate for the processing industry. The applications range from muesli and breakfast cereals through bakery products and pastry goods to dairy products, desserts and ice cream. The company also produces functional bars that serve the continuing health and fitness trend. At Gulfood Manufacturing the company will be presenting this year’s novel products at the German Pavilion (Stand No. S1-D55).

Fruit rhombs in 10 flavours

One of the focal points will be individual mixes of small chocolate and compound products. From HERZA’s extensive range, manufacturers of bakery products, muesli or ice cream can choose exactly the small chocolate or compound pieces that fit the end product and the envisaged price ideally. The proportions of the individual products can be adjusted precisely. Small amounts of expensive products like gold nuggets can be included in the mix as a highlight. For filling, HERZA offers packaging units as required.

For use in ice cream and muesli, the company has developed new fruit rhombs based on compounds. There are ten attractive varieties to choose from – they range from pineapple, banana and blackcurrant through coconut and lime to mango, orange and lemon. They are available either as single ingredients or as individualized combinations of different fruit rhombs. By mixing the single ingredients it is possible to create a large number of exotic flavours to re-stage a basic product again and again. The authentic taste is brought about by natural flavourings, and the colour is of course achieved without synthetic AZO dyes.

HERZA’s products and specialities are not only convincing for their functional properties; they are also delicious. This is in particular due to the experience gained in the past through manufacturing confectionery and roasting cocoa beans. Moreover, by producing its own chocolate, the company can guarantee a consistently high standard of quality.
