  • (1888PressRelease) June 26, 2014 - Boiron Frères of France is a specialist in fruit processing that has recently diversified into vegetable processing too. The company, thanks to extensive research and innovation, is now diversifying its range of flavours and products destined for the catering trade and gastronomy professionals.

    For its vegetable line, under the Les Vergers Boiron brand, Boiron Frères now offers three 'homemade-grade' novelty purées designed for chefs and caterers: butternut squash, green asparagus, and beetroot. All three are 100% natural and free from preservatives, artificial colouring and thickening agents.

    The vegetables are processed using a new, cutting-edge tool that delivers a taste and texture that are equivalent to the best of homemade purées. Packaged in 1kg trays for optimal food safety and immediately frozen, the purées are easy to use. The formula chosen by Boiron Frères guarantees that there is no waste for the catering professional, while costs are kept under control.

    This unique know-how, which is the company's hallmark, makes a lot of sense when processing vegetables such as those, which usually require a lengthy and potentially tedious preparation phase.

    Regarding its citrus line, Boiron Frères found its inspiration in the Far East, in countries such as Japan, China and Korea, where yuzu is traditionally grown. A small, tangy citrus fruit from East Asia, yuzu tastes a little like grapefruit, with touches of lime and tangerine: thanks to Boiron Frères, it is now available as a purée.

    Yuzu delivers a powerful and rare flavour, much sought-after by pastry chefs, ice-cream makers, chocolate makers and confectioners. The purée is packaged in 1kg trays featuring an inner grading scale (250g or 100g) for precise measuring. Yuzu purée under the Les Vergers Boiron label is a 100% natural product, with a flavour closer to the actual fresh fruit than that of existing products on the market.

    Yuzu can be used in a wide range of sweet or savoury recipes - portioned desserts, fruitcakes, financier cakes, muffins, small tarts, wafers, soufflés, ice-creams, sorbets, granitas (a type of Italian semi-frozen dessert also known as granita siciliana), cream cakes, crèmes brûlées, mousses, ganache fillings, fruit pastes and jams, among others.

    Boiron Frères has filed a patent for a new and exclusive technological process in semi-candying, which it uses to supply pastry chefs, ice-cream makers, chocolate makers and confectioners with semi-candied lemon and orange in 500g pots.

    While they are less sweet and smoother than ordinary candied fruit, these semi-candied mixes have preserved all the aroma, colour, texture and vitamin content found in fresh produce. The product's outstanding quality and its ease of use help catering professionals save on production time. Additionally, Boiron Frères' semi-candied mixes will retain their consistency and their freshness under high temperatures, without producing any exudate. When frozen, their texture becomes soft and tasty, and may be easily handled with a spoon.

    This new manufacturing process promises to revolutionise the use of candied fruit in pastries, brioches, sorbets, chocolate and more, whether the candied fruit is mixed in, or used as adornment, explains the company.
