As a fresh produce specialist, you, of course, appreciate support and inspiration for vegetarian options, because there is increasing consumer demand (“since 2017, the amount of meat substitutes sold in supermarkets has increased by 51%”). Vega Binding mix requires only a few actions to make vegetarian products. Products that are tasteful and completely separate from a meat experience.
A lot has changed within the food sector since our foundation. Especially when it comes to the wishes and needs of your guests and customers. There are new concepts of convenience, health, durability and quality. As a professional, you are of course constantly looking for appropriate answers to these changing needs. And we are happy to support you. That is why you’ll find those answers in our new sauces range from now on.
Latin American cuisine is hot. Literally hot with respect to taste in certain areas, but also in a figurative sense with respect to popularity. More and more restaurants start serving Latin American dishes. A logical development: because of the diversity of this cuisine, there is something delicious for everyone. That is why this season Verstegen is providing Latin American BBQ inspiration for this trend with original products.
This BBQ season, Verstegen offers the fresh specialist inspiration for 6 different traditional BBQ packages. After all, food is increasingly becoming an experience and we are taking more time for it. More and more conscious choices are being made when it comes to food. That is why, together with the fresh specialist, we want to feed the conscious choices of the consumer. Also in this BBQ season, in which we respond to all needs and inspire with traditional BBQ packages.
More and more conscious choices are being made when it comes to food. Taste goes hand in hand with ‘responsible enjoyment’. As a food professional you always want to be able to respond to these kinds of developments and we as Verstegen are happy to help you with that. For example, we have renewed and improved our satay sauce. With our new recipe, we are setting a new standard in the market. The satay sauce contains 42% less sugar, 33% less salt and 25% less fat compared to the old recipe. The satay sauce is now also completely plant-based and suitable for vegan lifestyles. With the renewed satay sauce from Verstegen, it is really peanuts to enjoy a tasty and responsible sauce.
Sausages are popular. For many years there has been a wide variety of different sausages worldwide. In the Netherlands, too, there is a growing demand for more inspiration and variety in (fresh) sausages. For a delicious, culinary response Verstegen developed the concept ‘Give your own twist to sausages’, to add your signature to sausage dishes.
Fermentation is back again. And that is logical, because fermentation preserves texture, colour and, above all, taste. In the process umami is produced, which creates a unique and rich taste profile. This has inspired Verstegen to perfect fermentation. And make it easier to work with. The results: LegHumes, a series of fermented vegetables and sauces with new, fresh and pure flavours. Flavours that will make your professional heart beat faster.
The days of snacking with a feeling of guilt are over. Verstegen introduces Guilt Free sauces without artificial additives. The first sauces without added sugars or sweeteners, but with a great taste. The best of both worlds. The sauces are made from the finest herbs and spices and contain no allergens to be listed and only natural sugars.
Consumers are eating more and more consciously. That is not a hype, it is a permanent development. There is an increasing need for responsible nutrition. And this development goes on. It was one of the reasons for Verstegen to introduce the Pure label some years ago. Products with this label contain no MSG, no allergens to be listed, no phosphates and a minimum quantity of salt. Really pure products!
The Middle East mixes were developed by Fatima Marzouki. Fatima has been appointed woman of the Year at the Belgian Diwan awards for women with a Moroccan background. She has meant a lot to this community by making this cuisine known to the native Belgian community. Fatima tries to get communities together with food. She has two restaurants, a shop in the city party hall in Antwerp and has written several books about this cuisine.
