How to use glacé

Glacé fruit is versatile in so many different product, retail and manufacturing applications. We have had great success in marketing glacé fruit as a cheese accompaniment for all entertaining occasions. Many fine retailers and gourmet shops are merchandising glace fruit in their cheese deli cabinets with a good response from consumers.

Retailers, manufacturers and consumers will find our range of ideas inspiration for their products, retail shops and new ideas to experiment with. We are gradually loading pictures to compliment our ideas so keep an eye out for more to come.

Glacé

Entertain

Glacé fruit is simply great paired with cheese. Instead of fruit paste or dried fruit and nuts why not add colour, flavour and originality with glacé fruit on your next cheese platter.

Tasting notes For soft white cheeses such as brie or camembert try glacé pear or quince. The subtle flavours marry perfectly together. For stronger cheeses such as cheddar, washed rinds and blue vein try glacé orange slice, peach or apricot. The sweetness of glacé fruit perfectly counterbalances the saltiness in strong cheeses. Can't decide? Glacé figs and quince are great with just about every cheese.

Indulge

For a sweet & decadent indulgence try half dipping glacé apricot or orange slice in dark chocolate. We think that rich dark chocolate goes so well with our glacé, simply melt your favourite dark chocolate, half dip glacé apricot or glacé orange halves in chocolate, allow to cool on greaseproof paper. Indulge with coffee or just by itself.

Cook

Try glacé fruit in your next dessert preparation or use in traditional baking recipes. We love glacé fruit chopped up to make cassata ice-cream, our glacé fruit stays moist and soft and is heavenly in hot or cold desserts.
