What is the difference between Strawberry Fruit Concentrate and Strawberry Puree?
The main difference is the level of concentration. The Strawberry Fruit Concentrate is intended for applications where a stronger, more intensified strawberry flavor is needed. The Hop Guild specifically describes it as an option for adding an “extra kick” of strawberry compared with its Strawberry Puree.
When should I use Strawberry Fruit Concentrate?
It is suited to recipes where strawberry needs to be a more pronounced part of the finished product. It can be incorporated into beverages, brewing applications, desserts, bakery products, confectionery, and other food formulations.
Can Strawberry Fruit Concentrate be used in brewing?
Yes. The Hop Guild develops its fruit products with brewers in mind, and the Strawberry Fruit Concentrate is positioned as a fruit ingredient for applications requiring a stronger strawberry profile. It can be considered for craft beer and other fruited brewing applications.
How should Strawberry Fruit Concentrate be stored?
The product is aseptic and can be stored at temperatures up to 70°F (21°C). The Hop Guild recommends colder storage for concentrates, particularly when aiming to maintain maximum freshness.
