Hi there,
I am happy to share with you another roundup of new foods on the market in Israel. Since they are all coming out around Tu Bishvat, the holiday of trees, I've included recipes with fruit.
The new foods described in this article include:
A Chilled Dough Series by 'Shimrit'
Malabi Flavored Halva by 'Achva'
Fruit Smoothies by 'Tvuot'
A Chilled Dough Series by 'Shimrit'
Shimrit, the oldest and leading bakery products manufacturer in Israel, is expanding its operations by launching a new product category of chilled doughs. The new series includes chilled and flattened ready made dough for immediate baking. The existing doughs on the market are frozen making this series of doughs a new category on the market. This is the first time that a marketed dough can be kept fresh in the refrigerator and ready for immediate use, and does not require a prolonged defrosting process. The new product series includes puff pastry, filo dough pages, pizza dough used as a base for pizza and shortcrust dough for cookies and sweet pastries.
The chilled dough category is among the fastest growing retail categories in the world. In other countries, the category has brought new consumers thanks to easy preparation, time savings, and the ability to choose the ingredients and additions, suitable for preparation with children and most close to home baking. Now, Shimrit, who has the expertise and experience in the baking industry, has brought this product category to Israel, offering an upgrade to the familiar frozen dough, closer to homemade dough, saving time and effort by providing a solution to the well-known problem of time to defrosting.
The new "Shimrit" dough series can serve as a solution for a quick, spontaneous dinner or other hospitality that requires tasty and high-quality results in a short time. The ease to use dough, only needs to be removed from the refrigerator, spread on the baking paper contained within the package and baked. The new series is available in all the large chain stores in the refrigerator, near the pasta (not in the freezer).
Chilled Puff Pastry Dough - The only chilled puff pastry dough in Israel does not contain margarine, preservatives or hardened fat. It comes rolled in baking paper for easy and quick preparation.
