Finger Food
The finger food market has expanded over the past few years due to differentiation
in eating moments and eating habits. Consumers increasingly eat smaller portions at
multiple times a day. This leads to a growing demand for small-sized bites and appetizers
such as spring rolls, pastries, deep-fried snacks and oven snacks. Hand eaten, for shared
dining, snacking or on-the-go consumption. Intertaste develops and produces distinctive
functional ingredients with innovative flavours, including batters, breadings, seasonings
and sauces for finger food producers.
Finger Food
Batters
Through our in-depth product and application knowledge we
can supply you with various, excellent batters:
Our Adhesion batters with a high solid content and low viscosity.
Our Tempura batters to create a loose outer layer.
Our Specialty batters consist of clear coatings and low-fat
batters. The clear coating provides enhanced potato flavour
and extra crispiness. Our low-fat batter helps to reduce the oil
absorption during frying.
Breadings
Our breadings are usually applied on top of the batter. Our breadings are developed to enhance appearance and texture as well
as increase the volume and weight of the product. The breadings
portfolio of Intertaste ranges from breadcrumbs to rice crumbs.
Various colours and size grades are available and can be customized to your needs.
Seasonings
We offer a comprehensive portfolio of seasonings to add distinctive
flavours to your finger food products. Based on pure and natural
herbs and spices, these products are characterised by their unique
flavour profiles.
