    Herza makes individual chocolate mixes for ice cream

    July 16, 2014

    HERZA Chocolate pieces mixesBy Herza

    Herza Schokolade now supports manufacturers in all categories with individual mixes of small chocolate and glazed pieces that offer industrial and artisan producers a number of advantages.

    From Herza's broad product range, makers of ice cream, baked goods and muesli can select just the right combination of chocolate and glazed pieces they require for a perfect fit with a final product and its price structure. The proportions of individual components can be precisely adjusted. For example, high priced items like golden nuggets can be included also in small quantities as a highlight. The chocolate piece mixes are perfectly coordinated in terms of appearance and mouthfeel. This enables manufacturers to create innovative products that offer new and interesting sensations to the consumer over and over again.

    Simple handling, reduced costs, maximum effectiveness
    Simple handling is another benefit. With the new chocolate piece mixes, Herza customers benefit from the attractiveness of the combination of different chocolate pieces, while buying them as a mix considerably reduces the effort in terms of purchasing, logistics and quality control. The use of mixes allows customers to minimize their stock. It also simplifies manufacturing processes, as individual production steps can be eliminated. For customers, who due to their production set-up can use just one kind of chocolate piece in their final product, this opens up attractive new possibilities.

    Purchase-driving mixes for ice cream
    For imaginative ice cream creations Herza offers for example a mix of extra-large chocolate chips in white, milk and dark varieties. Another composition consists of double caramel chips and peanut flavour glaze pieces. The polished cocoa nibs are a new product idea especially for use with ice cream. They contain no additives, so they can be used as clean-label products. The nibs feature a shiny look and have a natural water barrier. Together with the golden crunchy cocoa nibs they give ice cream a distinctive look and special enjoyment value - two factors that are strong purchase drivers for consumers.

    About Herza
    Herza Schokolade GmbH & Co. KG in Norderstedt near Hamburg, Germany has specialized in chocolate manufacture for 90 years. It is one of the world’s leading suppliers of quality functional chocolate pieces for the food industry, and the European market leader in small chocolate pieces for mueslis.
