Case Study

Nut flours step up for tortillas

How our nut expertise solved a unique gluten-free problem

The challenge

Creating gluten-free tortillas that match the texture and flexibility of traditional flour varieties is no small feat. Gluten provides hydration and elasticity—key for that all-important pliability. Without it, achieving the right balance seemed impossible.

The solution

By leveraging the natural fats and proteins in our cashew, walnut and pistachio flours, we formulated a soft pliable dough that mimics the texture of traditional tortillas. Our controlled cooking process preserves the integrity of the nut oils, ensuring tortillas stay soft and flexible without becoming brittle or overly toasted. We enhance these flavors with complementary spices for a balanced standout product.

Case Study

Harnessing hazelnuts for solutions

How hazelnut paste solved a cocoa conundrum

The challenge

Current market offerings of plant-based versions of milk chocolate are limited due to the lack of understanding of the alternatives for milk solids. Almonds, hazelnuts and rice have been used recently by the chocolate industry as a replacement for milk and have seen some success. However, the full potential of nut-based ingredients has yet to be realized. Used cleverly, they can give a clean and pleasant taste and add a creamy texture for a smoother mouthfeel. Additionally, in chocolate applications, some of these nut-based ingredients provide additional sweetness and a well-rounded flavor.

The solution

Take our Gianduja plant-based chocolate, for example. With a complex and uniquely West African flavor expression, this whole bean-roasted cocoa liquor brings a rich, round, consistent taste profile. It provides the right balance with our specialty hazelnut paste that naturally has a lower amount of fat, giving the Gianduja a good snap, and adding to the sensory experience.
