French pâtissier Tipiak has launched a new selection of bite-sized canapés to the UK foodservice market.
The ‘thaw and serve’ Mediterranean Canapés Selection features nine different flavors including: mango apricot chutney, mini cheese and ham rolls and sesame seeds on mini brioche, smoked salmon, tzatziki, cucumber and poppy seeds on mini blini, goat’s cheese and fig on walnut bread, and tuna, stewed piquillos, capers and black olives on sandwich bread.
As Tipiak’s best-selling canapés product in France, the bite-sized canapés are perfect to serve at buffets, conferences, weddings, afternoon teas, graduations and other events. This new selection complements Tipiak’s existing range of canapés already available in the UK via frozen food distributor Central Foods.
“The new Tipiak Mediterranean Canapés Selection brings delicate and flavorsome bite-sized canapés to the table – canapés which are incredibly convenient for food professionals, as they just need defrosting before serving,” said Marie-Emmanuelle Chessé, international development project manager at Tipiak.
The new canapés are packed on new gold-colored cardboard trays, which are 100% recyclable. Composed of more than 50% cellulosic fibers, which come from plant cell walls and are biodegradable, the packaging is regarded as ‘paper-carton’ – meaning it is made of paper but not lined with plastic or aluminum, like traditional cartons.
Each Mediterranean Canapés Selection box contains 63 individual pieces – seven of each of the nine different flavors. For maximum convenience, whilst still frozen, operators should remove the canapés from their box and arrange on a platter, stand or serving tray. Leave for four hours in the refrigerator to defrost, plus 30 minutes at room temperature before serving.
