fiogf49gjkf0d Rich Graviss Products Pvt. Ltd, a leading supplier and solutions provider for food services, in-store bakery and retail marketplaces, had organised Gourmet Guide 2016, a guide for hotel businesses, retailers and home bakers, introducing them to international food trends from the bakery industry in Mumbai, on Wednesday.
The guide showcased food trends across the globe in savouries, beverages, desserts and cakes. Chef Varun Inamdar, master Indian chocolatier, gave a live demonstration of the company’s products' application through its recommended recipes.
Speaking on the occasion, Pankaj Chaturvedi, CEO and executive director, Rich Graviss Products Pvt. Ltd, stated, “The main objective of the event was to make our bakery and food service customers aware of global trends and also global cuisines which could be made using Rich's products. The purpose is to inform and upgrade the quality of offerings of both bakery and food service operators to general public. I believe with Rich's Gourmet Guide 2016, we have been able to achieve that.”
With regard to global trends, Pankaj Jain, general manager, sales and culinary, Rich Graviss Products Pvt. Ltd, identified, “The new trends include certain appealing factors like shine and smoothness. While, in the types which have come up now - dairy or non-dairy cream in the foods to improve texture, new glass desserts, solid and liquid desserts, truffles etc. are some of the new trends we see today.”
Speaking on fondants, which are popular currently, Jain said, “Our new improved products will offer a bakery chef to have perfect shine as it appeals well in the hotels and bakery shops. Even in the category of fondants which is a thick paste made up of sugar and water, flavoured or coloured, we have launched our own paste which is better than the fondants we get in the markets. The banquets face this issue quite often as they have to provide some designer cakes before for the display. Each time, when the chef is creating his paste for fondants, there may be a chance of adding some ingredients in more than required quantities but now we have a better solution with better taste as fondants usually are better to see but bad at taste.”
“Rich's products have several food applications too. Our product Cooking Rich, a non-dairy cooking cream which makes your dish richer, creamier and tastier. It is suitable for Indian and especially to the chicken variants as well as international cuisine,” added Jain.
“In one of our product line which was launched in the year 1996 - whip topping which offers a rich dairy flavour, smooth texture to the dishes you make. It ran successfully for around 10 years. Later, some of the chefs complained about its yellowish tint. We passed on the query to our all 10 R&D centres and teams. Later, we came up with a product which had bright white colour and we named it as 'Rich's Whip Topping Gold' - now marketed as a premium segment of Rich's products,” Jain explained.
Other products like chocolate compounds and other bakery mixes for cakes and creams were displayed at the event. The company is looking ahead to cash in on B2B markets primarily with its easy solutions.
