STORY: Pidy adds to Trendy range

Following the launch of its (now award-winning) Trendy collection, Belgium-based pastry manufacturer Pidy has added two new tartlets to the range.

The Micro Trendy (3cm x 1.7 cm), is “an ideal one-bite size base that is perfect for creating elegant mouthfuls of all kinds”, according to the company, whilst the Trendy Shallow (8cm x 1.1cm) “features a lower rim to provide an innovative take on traditional sweet tartlets”.

The shallow variety has been designed in a way that makes it easier to hold fillings and delicate garnishes. Once filled, it can also be served upside down to create a smooth base for toppings which also adds visual flair and a surprise centre of filling. Pidy says “both new additions are set to open the door to a new world of sweet creations this season”.

Designed with foodservice specialists in mind, the shortcrust pastry pairs with both cold and warm applications, and holds its shape once filled.

Robert Whittle, managing director at Pidy UK, says of the new additions: “It’s an honour that the popularity of our Trendy collection allows us to continue innovating new designs that provide even more culinary possibilities for our customers. The two new products are unique to Pidy and there is nothing like them on the market, which means that chefs and caterers can really add something special to a menu.”

He adds that both products use 100% natural ingredients, “coupled with careful precision to produce gourmet products with the taste and texture of homemade, but with the stability and consistency demanded by the professional kitchen”.
