Specialty fats: function and flavor
For easy richness and functional advantages, specialty fats are a game-changer across applications in the bakery and confectionery worlds. They add that irresistible texture and a dollop of functional assistance for recipes.
How else are they useful? Specialty fats help prevent bloom in chocolates, compound chocolate or compound coating applications by maintaining a smooth, glossy finish—no more unappealing whitish streaks. And their handiness doesn’t end there. Specialty fats are cost-effective because they help products last longer and stay more stable, reducing reliance on additional preservatives or constant recipe adjustments. Yes, they work hard, and so do we, with our high-performance range of vegetable fats, confectionery and custom fats (and so much more) for the perfect tailored application to make your product standout and delight. And if you want a little extra help, we’ll work directly with you to provide individual formulation solutions.
Specialty fats ingredients
If you want to create products that build your reputation, start with excellent ingredients. Our range of specialty and confectionery fats are right this way.
Cocoa Butter Improver (CBI) fats
Chocolate and compound products can be sensitive to temperature fluctuations, and softening in warmer climates can lead to unappealing fat migration and fat bloom. Adjusting recipes with specialty fats can help improve melting properties to create heat-resistant chocolate to overcome this challenge. Our fats can improve chocolate stability and protect products by increasing hardness in warmer temperatures.
But that’s not all. Our CBIs can also serve to improve the gloss, texture and snap of our customers’ applications.
Key features:
Could improve melting profile
Could aid temperature resistance
