SVZ launched industry-first ‘Carte Blanche’ solution at Fi Europe 2022

SVZ, a premium fruit and vegetable ingredient supplier, introduced its latest innovation at Fi Europe 2022: Carte Blanche white base solutions, designed to help manufacturers deliver vibrant flavours and colours with reduced sugar content.

Carte Blanche: Less creates more

Featuring white carrot and pumpkin as its star products, Carte Blanche addresses industry demand for natural and versatile bases with functional benefits such as reduced sugar content, neutral appearance, or subtle flavour profile. The new, fully customisable solutions are ideal for a wide array of applications, from smoothies and beverages to savoury snacks, and desserts.

“There is a real need for reduced sugar fruit and vegetable bases right now as many manufacturers look to give their beverages, baked snacks and even desserts a ‘better-for-you’ make over. What’s unique about Carte Blanche is that it’s not only low-sugar, but offers a neutral taste and colour profile to help the ingredients that count shine through in recipes. It’s also perfect for adding ‘stealth vegetables’ to products, boosting nutritional credentials without having to sell the idea of veggie smoothies and snacks to sceptical consumers. With this solution, less truly creates more.”, comments Johan Cerstiaens, Commercial Director at SVZ.
