Taura^® 'Gourmet Series' - real fruit pieces for artisan chocolate and bakery producers!

What are URC^® Fruit Pieces?

The URC^® (Ultra Rapid Concentration^®) process is able to concentrate blends of heat sensitive, viscous fruit materials to less than 10% moisture in 60 seconds
Great fresh, natural fruit taste
Easy to use, no preparation required
Long shelf-life
Bake-stable and freeze-thaw stable
Suitable for use in chocolates, cakes, biscuits, cookies, muffins, breads and brioche, as well as dishes and desserts served in restaurants
In high moisture applications, such as bread and cakes, URC^® fruit pieces absorb moisture to become spots of soft fruit, bursting with flavour. In low moisture applications the low water activity of the fruit pieces ensures they retain their soft texture without spoiling the base product
Natural product, free from artificial colours, flavours and preservatives
These premium quality ingredients offer a delicious, convenient and functional alternative to fresh, candied and dried fruit ingredients.
