  • German food service giant chooses Schouten

    Schouten optimised various products from the customer’s existing assortment for Germany’s largest food service group. Recipes were further developed – to reduce salt, for example – and some products were counter-typed. The successful optimisation prompted the German group to also use us for translating kitchen recipes into scalable recipes. Read more about this tasty and inspiring collaboration.

  • The vegetarian cooking sauce by Larco Foods

    Larco Foods, operators in retail, food service and industry, also became aware of the shift towards reduced meat consumption. They were approached by a Dutch retailer to develop a vegetarian cooking sauce. Larco Foods asked Schouten for advice to determine which vegetarian ingredients would be suitable for the sauce. With a successful outcome!

    Larco and Schouten have developed a high-quality vegetarian cooking sauce.

    Schouten supplies the vegetarian stir fry strips (in 10 kg freezer boxes) to Larco Foods. There they are processed in the vegetarian cooking sauce.

    Ruud Zoon (Commercial Manager): “We do not regard Schouten as just a supplier but also as a partner. This is reflected in the collaboration, which runs very smoothly as a result so that steps can be taken quickly”.

  • A more sustainable alternative in food service

    In addition to non-food products, this client also sells various food products throughout the world. Sustainability is important to them, but, until recently, they also sold a large number of meat products. For this reason, it was decided to adapt the menu and to offer more vegetarian options. Everything within this range had to contain as few allergens as possible.

    Together we retreated to the kitchen to test and refine different recipes. The result: various successful products and more products in the pipeline.

  • Schouten Specialist in the development of plant-based products - vegan vegetable balls

    Product development for a worldwide A-brand

    Over the past few years, the market for plant-based protein has grown considerably. Ever-increasing numbers of consumers are searching for an alternative to meat. This client operates worldwide and produces various A-brand products. The client intends to introduce a distinctive vegetarian product range to the European retail market. The meatballs, sausages and burgers are legume-based products. The client had already conceived a number of tasty concepts. We industrialise these recipes with some modifications here and there. A culinary product is, after all, not automatically suitable for development on a large scale.

    Development vegetarian product range Huhtahyvät

    Huhtahyvät supplies all supermarkets in Finland. They are originally real meat producers. However, they also wanted a varied range of vegetarian products that they could carry under their own label. Huhtahyvät has opted for the existing vegetarian range of Schouten. Because of our knowledge of the various markets, we were able to advise which meat substitutes were suited to the Finnish market.
