Botanical flavours @ Virgin Nuts

It’s winter in Europe. Even though it can be cold outside, it’s the season where we bring extra lights and warmth into our homes. And lots of comfortable smelling green and flowers. It’s the season in which we’ve said goodbye to the old and welcomed the new year. A new year in which the pandemic hopefully will be controlled, giving us free access to an enjoyable summer. With our Honey rose almonds we give you a sneak preview of a happy season full of light and fresh botanical flavours.

In summer we enjoy the warmth outside. #absolutelydelicious smelling herbs and bright coloured flowers in full bloom. Like roses in multiple colours. Beautiful to look at, wonderful the scent and also very nice to taste. Rose petals are a delightful combination with blanched caramelised almonds with honey. Tree nuts, floral honey and rose petals form a #loveatfirstbite blend of #100%natural and botanical ingredients.

It is a new example of the special flavour combinations we create at Virgin Nuts. Following the botanical trend, we have even more flavours, like:

• lavender (for example Honey lavender pecans),

• rosemary (for example Honey rosemary almonds),

• thyme (for example Honey thyme cashews),

• mint (for example vanilla mint hazelnuts)

To make #highquality #uniqueproducts for you, we look just a little bit further than the average flavours. Co-operating with our customers, we create exceptional nut-flavour combinations. Don’t hesitate to contact us for more information and inspiration.

Crunchy honey peanuts for peanut butter

January 24th is #NationalPeanutButterDay. On this day, the over 3000 year old spread gets the recognition it deserves. Creamy or chunky, with chocolate or with jelly, all delicious, but our top favourite is peanut butter with crunchy Honey peanuts #loveatfirstbite. We’ve celebrated the anniversary with lots and lots of this comforting and filling spread. Of course only in our main building, because obviously we have a zero tolerance for peanuts and derivatives in our #peanutfree facility.

Virgin Nuts is well-known for caramelised nuts, seeds & cereals as an ingredient in many applications, like chocolate, ice cream, breakfast cereals, peanut butter, etc. For extra flavour, we can add honey, cinnamon, maple, vanilla or gingerbread. Want a savoury touch? No problem, we can combine the caramelised nuts with sea salt and/or spices/herbs, such as chili, rosemary, wasabi, pepper, BBQ spices, mint, thyme, etc.

Combine your favourite flavours and contact us to produce ingredients for your own special #peanutbutter. Happy peanut butter day!

It's all thanks to hazelnuts

5 February is #WorldNutellaDay, one of the most indulgent days of the year. Nutella® is a perfect combination of hazelnuts and cocoa. The story goes that it was a shortage of cocoa in the Piedmont region of Italy back in the 1800s, causing these two nature ingredients to combine. To stretch the supply, chocolate was mixed with ground hazelnuts. Much later Nutella® became the creamy version of the mixture and it’s one of those products that everyone knows around the world.

Caramelised hazelnuts
The reason that we honour this famous product, is obviously our love for hazelnuts – especially caramelised - and the #loveatfirstbite combination that nuts make - especially if caramelised 😉 - with chocolate. Whether whole, diced or slivered, we can produce Caramelised hazelnuts as the perfect ingredient for your chocolate. #highquality

Thanks to our #100%natural artisanal coating, we add an essential barrier to prevent fat bloom and to preserve the crunchiness of the nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, pecans, etc.) when processed in chocolate. #thinkinginsolutions And on top of these benefits: the coating locks in the flavour of the #absolutelydelicious nuts.

And last but not least, if requested, we can produce your ingredients peanut free. This ensures that even more people can enjoy your chocolate #serviceonly. Contact us for more information.

Happy World Nutella® Day!

Granola for Food Bank

Sometimes you will only know the true value of food when it becomes unaffordable ... Thanks to Voedselbanken Nederland (Food Bank), food remains accessible, even when the going gets tough.
And unfortunately, the going also got tough for one of our customers. They didn’t survive the COVID-19 related regulations in their country and had to return freshly produced #absolutelydelicious granola. We’ve immediately decided to donate this granola to the Voedselbank and support their main goals: providing direct food aid to the ones in need and preventing the waste of good food.
Our 5 core values #thinkinginsolutions #highquality #uniqueproducts #serviceonly #100%natural all the way.

In cooperation with IW4, the granola was packed in our kraft paper bags. Voedselbank Arnhem collected the packed product and at the Distribution Center Arnhem, the bags were divided over individual food packages and handed out to many clients in the region.

Voedselbanken Nederland is the umbrella organization for 171 food banks and 10 distribution centers in The Netherlands. They work with volunteers only and provide free food that is donated by others. We encourage all other companies in the food industry to prevent food waste and support direct food aid.

Many thanks to Voedselbank Arnhem for your cooperation, hospitality, inspirational introduction and enthusiastic tour at the well-organized distribution center.
