Ocean Spray at Fi Europe 2013

HAMBURG, Germany – Ocean Spray, a worldwide market leader for cranberries, represents for the first time its novelties at Food Ingredients Europe 2013, on the booth of the European commercial partner bolasco. The focus is two product innovations: Sweetened Dried Cranberries (SDC) VeryBerry and BerryFusions Fruits (BFF) Pomegranate Wholes.

The consumption of dried cranberries has been increasing constantly within the last years, owing mainly to the health benefits. The new variety, VeryBerry has a very intense taste as a result of a very gentle production process and the particularly high addition of cranberry concentrate in the dried fruit. Therefore it is suitable for many different premium applications including pure snack or as flavour component in muesli, desserts and hearty meals.

BerryFusion Fruits: Cranberries with new fruity tastes

New whole cranberries with pomegranate flavour are another innovation in the field of BerryFusions Fruits, from Ocean Spray. The advantage: these Pomegranate Wholes are also with pomegranate juice concentrate. Thereby they have a very high intensity in taste.

The BerryFusions Fruits combine the natural taste of the name lending fruit with the processing stability of the cranberries. The stable prices and a high security of supply make BFF cranberries an economical alternative for sensitive and expensive fruit like oranges, raspberries and blueberries. Due to processing stability, BerryFusions Fruits keep its lumpiness, taste, colour and texture during the whole processing period. A 24-months life period turns them into an ideal ingredient for all applications – especially in muesli, fruit bars and pastries. First market results show a high acceptancenike fashion
