Throughout Europe, custards are traditionally consumed as a tasty filling in various viennoiseries and patisseries. The flavour of custards is still very traditional, usually made with boiled fresh milk, cream, and egg yolks. Zeelandia presents a portfolio that consists of a wide range of easy-to-prepare powdered mixes to match industrial bakers’ needs.
Our custard fillings are the perfect filling for your application because:
-
We know the importance of the sensory profile, so we adapt the taste and appearance to match your market's preferences in a standard quality, and the texture to be creamy, spreadable, or sliceable as required.
-
We can tailor the viscosity to fit your specific production needs, equipment, and application. Whatever firmness, shape/contour stability, or flow properties you require, we can accommodate your needs.
-
Our custard powders are suitable to be used in combination with other ingredients.
-
We guarantee outstanding freeze and bake stability during the process, as well as stability during the required shelf life.
How do our custard fillings benefit your recipes?
At Zeelandia, we have many years of experience and have perfected our custard powders to meet your exact requirements. We understand the important relationship between the dough and custard filling and adjust our recipes accordingly. Our custard powders are versatile and can be used in combination with other ingredients like butter or whipping cream. Our products not only have exceptional freeze and bake stability but also have the capability to maintain freshness throughout the required shelf life.
We understand the different needs of our customers for various applications — that's why we offer tailor-made custards that meet your specific needs. Our highly customisable powders can have the functionality and taste you are looking for. Whether it is alternative flavouring (e.g. natural bourbon vanilla, cocoa flavour, custard base without flavour, or even distinguishing flavours like yoghurt), clean(er) label with reduced ingredients, less sugar, or colour variations.
