Flavor on a Budget
Convenient, affordable and fit for the whole family, make-at-home meals are gaining popularity over restaurants in this down economy. As a result of this trend, gourmet frozen entrees and staple food products priced economically continue to be in demand.
Cost continues to be the primary area of concern for food companies as well, but that can't stop the development of new products for at-home eaters. Despite the demand for economically priced foods, consumers are still demanding new and exotic flavors to satisfy their taste buds. The Grande Bravo line of products from Grande Custom Ingredients Group can help manufacturers achieve the great tastes consumers demand while keeping costs manageable.

100% Bravo, 100% Innovation
Grande Custom Ingredients Group food scientists have developed a sample Alfredo sauce using their Grande Bravo whey protein to replace 100% of the heavy cream in the formulation. Grande Bravo 600, Grande Bravo 510 and additional water are used to create a creamy, flavorful sauce.
"The new product formulation maintains the product's creamy texture and natural dairy flavor while introducing a significant cost reduction," said Michelle Ludtke, Senior Food Technologist at Grande Custom Ingredients Group. "This could be a smart approach for food companies looking to cut costs on their cream products without sacrificing taste."
