Delice de France, the leading supplier of bread, bakery and food to go, has unveiled its Christmas range for 2024 – alongside a raft of new innovation for retailers and foodservice businesses.
Available now from the company’s website, Delice de France is launching a range of festive sweet products to drive seasonal sales. Treats include a Double Chocolate Santa Muffin, Gingerbread Muffin, Apple Pie Doughnut, Merry Cherry Doughnut and Shortcrust Mince crown, alongside Puff Lattice Mince Pies and Mini Mince Pies. Foodservice outlets can also stock a Rich Fruit Cake, Spiced Stollen Muffin and Mince Pie Slice.
In savoury, Delice is launching a Pigs in Blanket Slice, aimed at coffee shops, delis and farm shops.
Meanwhile, Delice’s wider autumn/winter range is now available via a new digital catalogue. Products include the new Breakfast Sausage Patty and Sausage & Cheesy Bean Slice, which are available for both convenience and foodservice outlets in units of 40.
Delice is also tapping into world foods with three Turkish Pides varieties: Margherita, Cheesy Garlic and Spinach & Mozzarella. There are also two extra-large premium focaccia sheets, made with olive oil and rosemary – Olive Oil & Rosemary and Olive Oil & Tomato. They offer approx 15 portions that have a multitude of uses including sandwiches, for bread baskets and bruschetta.
Premium bread products are a major focus in this raft of wider innovation. Capturing the essence of Mediterranean cuisine, two ciabatta rolls in Mediterranean Style Vegetable and Tomato & Basil are also now available.
Delice is similarly demonstrating its true bakery-leading credentials with an XL Rustic Malt Loaf with Sourdough, made with malted wheat, rye and roasted malted barley flour, in units of eight.
Rounding off the range, three on-trend and high-impact Midi Brioche-Style Burger Buns are now available, perfect for outlets that love to offer a splash of colour.
Topped with Nigella Seeds, the Midi Beetroot Burger Bun is a striking red bun made with a touch of beetroot. A Black Burger Bun is available in a deep charcoal colour, topped with golden linseeds. Finally, a more classic-looking golden Brioche-style burger bun is also available.
Commenting on the launch of Delice de France’s new products, Thierry Cacaly, Delice de France CEO, said: “Our carefully curated range of seasonal products are the result of months of innovation and years of paying close attention to the trends and the needs of consumers.
“With a focus on vibrancy, interesting tastes and innovative twists on classic, bestselling tastes, we’re confident this range will spread Christmas magic to our customers this winter.”
Following its management buyout from Aryzta Group in 2019, Delice de France has continued to go from strength to strength, growing turnover by 21% year on year (+£13.9m).[1]
