Pizza and finger food make a natural pairing, giving customers more to enjoy and providing foodservice operators another opportunity to add value to orders. That is the idea Frostkrone Food Group will be bringing to the European Pizza Show at ExCeL London on November 18 and 19. Visitors to Stand B17 will be invited to sample a tempting range of starters, sides dishes and sharing snacks developed with the needs of pizzerias, takeaways and delivery businesses in mind.
There is plenty to like from a kitchen point of view, too. Every product is supplied frozen and can be cooked straight from the freezer in a deep-fat fryer, oven or combi oven. Consistent piece weights make portioning and food costs easier to manage, while frozen storage means stock can be kept on hand and quickly prepared when customers have placed orders. Less unnecessary preparation also means less food waste.
“Many operators are looking for ways to increase sales without adding to the workload in the kitchen. “Our finger food offers just the right combination: great taste, plenty of choice and quality – all with the benefit of straightforward preparation.” said Emiel Lommen, global commercial director of the Rietberg, Germany-headquartered Frostkrone Food Group.
Reliable supply is just as important. Short lead times, flexible order quantities and dependable deliveries help businesses plan with confidence. And with dedicated contacts offering personal support and advice backed by extensive foodservice expertise, customers have someone who understands the demands of their business.
Cheesy Loops (pictured above) are also popular menu pleasers. Featuring a distinctive ring shape and light potato-and-cheese texture, the 14g little bites are crisp, moreish and ready to serve in around two minutes using standard cooking appliances. Three flavors are available: Cheddar & Potato, Cheddar & Onion and Cheddar & Jalapeño.
Among highlights at the Frostkrone stand will be Mozzarella Sticks (28g each). These bestsellers are a favorite for good reason. Their golden, crunchy coating gives way to a soft, melting mozzarella center. Easy to prepare and ready to serve in just a few minutes, they are hard to resist.
Then there are Frostkrone’s Cream Cheese Jalapeños (34g). Ideal for a quick, spicy bite on the go, the heat of the jalapeños joins the mild, smooth taste of cream cheese to offer a nicely balanced combination with just enough kick.
For even more variety, there’s the option of Nacho Cheese Triangles (20g), boasting a crunchy coating of crisp tortilla chips and cornflakes that give way to a smooth, creamy cheese filling, finished with just the right hint of heat. The mildly spicy triangles are ready to eat in only a few minutes.
For margherita fans, 25-gram Pizza Margherita Bites bring all the familiar tasty ingredients together in a bite-sized snack. Mozzarella, tomato sauce and basil combine in a mini format that packs plenty of flavor into every mouthful.
Frostkrone’s diverse product range is available in many countries and regions including the Netherlands, France, Spain, Portugal, Great Britain, Switzerland, the Scandinavia region, Eastern Europe, Asia, the United States. The company, founded in 1997, operates modern production facilities in Germany, France, Great Britain and the USA.
