Fat makes food fabulous

Fat is a key ingredient in many bakery products delivering, for example, aeration, texture, flavour, shortness and shelf life. Fat content typically ranges from a few percentages in bread, to around 30% in puff pastry and filling creams.

Our bakery fats, release agents and other ingredients, developed over years of working with bakeries, will help you to achieve great loaves and other bread products.  The correct type of fat can help greatly with loaf volume, crumb texture and shelf life.  The correct release agents and divider oils also ensure problem free production with perfect tin and band release every time.
