Country Range expands range with more desserts and seasonings

With smaller plates and flexible dining continuing to influence dessert menus, Country Range Group has bolstered its Signature by Country Range portfolio with a trio of premium individual desserts.

Supplied frozen, the products are designed to help caterers improve portion control, minimise waste and maintain consistent presentation without the labour involved in creating premium desserts from scratch.

The products are Individual Banoffee Tart; Individual Salted Caramel, Chocolate & Profiterole Dessert; and Individual Deep Fill Passionfruit Tart.

Rachel Porter, Country Range Group own brand manager, said: “Dessert and afternoon tea menus continue to be huge crowd-pleasers in hospitality venues of all sizes, but there are now more opportunities to tempt customers with something sweet throughout the day, whether that’s a traditional dessert, afternoon tea, a smaller treat or something indulgent alongside a coffee.

“For caterers, desserts have to work commercially as well as look and taste fantastic. Individual portions allow kitchens to defrost according to demand, helping to control portions and minimise waste, while giving chefs a premium, consistent finish with very little preparation.”

Country Range Group has also expanded its seasonings range with the launch of Chip Seasoning, Steakhouse Seasoning, Sriracha Seasoning and Chipotle Chilli Seasoning.

Porter said: “Whether it’s a creative starter, street food, dirty fries, flame-grilled meat or vibrant veg, the right seasoning can make a huge difference so it’s important caterers choose the best. These four fantastic products are really versatile and can be used in magical ways to take meat and veggie dishes to new heights.

“We’ve deliberately chosen flavours that give chefs plenty of scope to respond to some of the big influences we’re seeing across menus. They also have a premium texture and appearance, with visible herbs and spices helping dishes look as good as they taste. Not only that, they provide hassle-free convenience and consistency to caterers of all sizes helping them to reduce waste.”
