Western-style sauce brand Heinz Japan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Taito-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Stephen Briggs) will release a commercial-use “300g white sauce that can be used at room temperature just by baking” on September 2, 2024. New release.
“Just pour 300g of white sauce and bake” is a straight-type white sauce that reduces cooking time and effort by simply pouring it over your favorite ingredients and baking in the oven. It has a creamy and smooth texture, and the flavor of the scallops and chicken complements all the ingredients. Cooking dishes such as gratin and doria that use white sauce takes time and effort, including preparing the
ingredients, making the sauce, and baking in the oven. With this product, you just add the ingredients and bake, so it is recommended for restaurants that are short on staff and want to shorten cooking time.
In addition, the retort pouch packaging, which can be squeezed out at room temperature, is easy to store and use. The small, single-use size of 300g can be used without wasting food at chain stores where food waste is a concern, or at restaurants that don’t have many white sauce menus. As a sauce manufacturer that has been driving the commercial white sauce market, we will continue to develop new markets as large-capacity sizes become mainstream.
* ■Developing further sales channels with new products as a sauce manufacturer that has been driving the market*
Our white sauce for commercial use has been a leader in the white sauce market for commercial use, with a lineup of 7 products ranging from 1kg to 3kg at room temperature and frozen, and 2 products of frozen gratin sauce in 500g and 1kg. Up until now, our white sauce has been introduced to many private Western restaurants, hotels, and school lunches that offer white sauce menus such as gratin and doria as standard items, and our large-capacity products are selling well. The current minimum size is the frozen product “gratin sauce that can be used in only the required amount,” but in recent years, due to labor shortage issues, increased awareness of food loss, and environmental awareness such as packaging materials, there has been a demand for products that can be used in only the required amount. I was receiving it.
The newly released “300g white sauce that you can simply bake” is the smallest size of our commercial white sauces and gratin sauces. We will continue to develop new markets for commercial-use white sauce in response to the small-volume needs of chain stores that are concerned about waste due to large-capacity sizes, as well as bakeries, cafes, bars, and delicatessen stores that do not use white sauce very often. Masu.
* ■It has a flavor that matches any ingredients and is easy to arrange, and a well-thought-out viscosity that makes it easy to put on ingredients*
When developing the “white sauce that only requires 300g of sauce and grilling,” we paid special attention to taste and viscosity. It has a gentle taste with a creamy, smooth texture, and the richness and umami of scallops and chicken, so it goes well with both seafood and meat, and even vegetables alone can create a unique menu. In addition, although it has a strong richness and umami, it has a gentle taste that is not too overpowering, which brings out the flavor of the ingredients themselves, and is easy to customize with toppings such as cheese, bread crumbs, and spices.
We are also particular about creating a viscosity that is easy to use and prevents the sauce from running down on top of the ingredients when squeezed out. Furthermore, the package has a triangular spout that makes it easy to squeeze into small containers, making it suitable for small quantities.
