Schne-frost has introduced two new frozen products for the vegetarian market under its Avita brand. The Löningen, Germany-headquartered company’s cream-filled crispy Vegetable Pockets and meatless Vegetable Köttbullar in 330-gram retail packs and 1,000-gram bags are intended to add more variety for consumers seeking non-meat dishes that are convenient to prepare.
A crispy coating made of potatoes and vegetables surrounding a cream cheese and savory garden vegetable filling combine to turn the Vegetable Pockets into a real meal. Whether enjoyed with a fruity dip or alongside oven-baked vegetables, they can be plated in a variety of ways. Preparation is quick and easy using a combi-steamer, oven or deep fryer.
A vegetarian variant of the Swedish Meatball, Vegetable Köttbullar features peas, corn, paprika, green cabbage and onions seasoned with hearty spices. The small veggie balls may be offered as a side dish served with vegetable risotto, as well as a snack accented with various flavors of dips.
Rustico Frites Make the Scene
Just in time for the kick-off of the autumn potato season, Schne-frost is debuting skin-on Rustico Frites. The irregularly shaped product has a natural appearance and can be prepared in a combi-steamer without adding fat. The potatoes may accompany hamburgers, traditional steak meals and other main course proteins, or simply enjoyed as a snack served with mayonnaise or ketchup.
Meanwhile, Mini Rösti Cheese Cubes will soon join the Schne-Frost finger food range of products. Consisting of freshly grated premium quality potatoes, cheese and spices, they fit well as a crispy topping for salad or as a tapas snack.
Schne-frost and Avita products are made by Ernst Schnetkamp GmbH & Co. KG at its state-of-the-art processing plant equipped with 12 production lines. Established in 1965 in the Lower Saxony state of northwestern Germany, the company specializes in branded and private label frozen potato specialties, classic french fry products and vegetable-based value added items. Its range is distributed through retail, foodservice and industrial channels.
