European patisserie specialist Pidy has expanded their range of ready-to-use quiche bases with addition of a new butter quiche.
Previously only available as variations made with shortening recipes, the new quiche offers a superior quality pastry, boasting a rich flavour and delicate flaky texture. With an ambient shelf life of twelve months, operators can easily stock up to ensure they have enough stock to meet demand without worrying about complex expiry logistics. Environmentally conscious operators will appreciate the fact this enables them in order in bulk to reduce food miles and unnecessary emissions.
Fabien Levet, Commercial Manager at Pidy UK, is excited about the new product:
“Quiches are actually some of our most popular products, thanks to their versatile nature. With the trend of customers trading up, eating out less often but indulging more when they do, we wanted to create a quiche base that reflected this demand for higher quality. The rich butter and whole eggs add that extra something special in line with our ‘Green’ and ‘Clean’ ethos, eliminating additives and artificial preservatives, while maintaining a conveniently long shelf life.”
Utilising ready-to-fill pastry bases is a particularly beneficial solution for venues limited by space, staff, or equipment required to make pastry in-house. Additionally, Pidy’s quiche bases combine the taste of homemade – including the authentic crumbly finish of quiche – with consistent aesthetics. Benefitting from an impressive moisture resistance, the quiches are ideal for chefs looking to prepare ahead of busy lunch and dinner rushes, allowing them to be filled and even frozen once filled.
Available in 11cm and 18cm, the quiches are ideal for creating individual portions and creating larger quiches which can then be sliced and served as required. Beyond traditional egg mixture fillings, the versatile bases are also compatible as pie bases, savoury tartlets, or even sweet tartlets, thanks to their neutral finish.
