FRUIT COULIS WITH A TWIST

Macphie has launched a range of ambient, ready-to-use fruit coulis exclusively for the foodservice market under its ku-li™ brand in a choice of raspberry, mango and blackcurrant flavours. They are packed in convenient 12 x 475g squeezy bottles with re-sealable, twist and turn nozzles, so there’s no need to decant them prior to use. The secret lies in using leading-edge processing technology, which ensures that the fruits retain all of their natural flavours, without compromising on taste. And because they’re free from artificial colours, flavours, preservatives and contain less than 0.5 per cent fat, they meet consumer demand for healthier options.

The ku-li™ range is suitable for a variety of sweet and savoury dishes. Drizzle over starters, salads and desserts; use as an ingredient to make sorbets, crumbles or smoothies; use with meat to produce a jus or stir fries; or create artistic plate decorations - hearts, teardrops, zigzags, and spider’s webs - which can be prepared ahead of service and remain stable.

Marketing operations manager, Emma Watson said: “Macphie is a category leader in the ambient sweet sauces market. Our chefs are passionate about developing ever more exciting products to meet the needs of today’s busy chefs. The ku-li™ launch follows the success of Over The Top™ dessert toppings in squeezy bottles. Featuring a twist and turn nozzle, chefs can use their creative flair to produce very accurate plate decorations straight from the bottle. The contemporary packaging has been designed to reflect the pure nature of the ku-li™ range and the simplicity by which professional results can be achieved.”
