SWEET GINGER
The Perfect Purée of Napa Valley, a
leading U.S. producer of premium
fresh purées for culinary and beverage
professionals, introduces Sweet
Ginger, a sweet and spicy balance of
ginger and vegan cane sugar with a
warm, tantalizing aroma. Sweet Ginger
is a reimagined version of The Perfect
Purée's classic Sweet Ginger. Now
more flavorful than ever with a pourable
consistency, it's ideal in cocktails,
confections, and savory creations.
Sweet Ginger is vegan, gluten-free
and certified by the Non-GMO Project,
America's gold standard for transparent,
natural food.
" Ginger is an enduringly popular
flavor, one that has endless applications
in all menu parts, " says The Perfect
Purée of Napa Valley president
and chief marketing officer Michele
Lex. " Sweet Ginger elevates the familiar
classic in a surprising and intensely
flavorful blend. "
Whereas The Perfect Purée's classic
Ginger had a more zest-like consistency,
Sweet Ginger pours like a purée
so it's more versatile. " It's destined to
be a new staple and a creative springboard
for pastry, culinary and - more
than ever - beverage professionals, "
Lex says. " We want all of our flavors to
make it easy for busy kitchen professionals
to use in a variety of recipes. "
Confectioners will love how Sweet
Ginger pairs with chocolate. California
chocolatier Katryana Zide layers
Sweet Ginger and Lime Marshmallow
over Dark Rum Ganache in her Dark &
Stormy Chocolates.
Ginger has cross-cultural appeal in
global recipes. Sweet Ginger's unique
mellow heat brings an extra layer of
flavor to Peng Looi's Tau Foo Fah
(Malaysian Soybean Pudding) for
Brooklyn and the Butcher.
