Established in 2007 by the Bakels Group (since 1904), Bakbel Europe is a Belgian SME specializing in the production of high-quality and innovative fruit-based ingredients, created especially for fine pastry, industry, and food service sectors. Our range includes all types of technical glazes (cold, hot, chocolate, spray), fruit fillings, jams, water-based creams (eggless and non-dairy), pasteurized purees, flavouring pastes, and more. Our commitment to quality and respect for nature is at the heart of everything we do. We want to bring the best “From Nature to You“.
Rigorous Fruit Selection
It all starts with a meticulous selection of the best fruit. At BAKBEL, we understand that the quality of our finished products directly depends on the quality of the fruits we use. This is why when the fruits arrive at our facility, they are first inspected by our Quality Control Department to ensure they meet our strict standards. From there the fruits pass to hand sorting in order to remove endogenous foreign elements. The variety of fruits that we offer is quite wide (more info avalaible on request) : Apple, Apricot, Blueberry, Dark Cherry, Fruit of the Forest, Pear, Pineapple, Raspberry, Red Cherry, Strawberry, and a lot more !
The Magic of Slow Cooking
Our slow cooking method is another essential aspect of our process. Unlike rapid cooking methods that can alter the nutritional and flavor qualities of the fruits, slow cooking helps to preserve and intensify the natural flavours. At BAKBEL, each batch of fruit is gently cooked at a controlled temperature, in order to get the best out of all the ingredients in the recipe! This method allows us to produce wet products of the highest quality.
Careful Packaging
The care we take with our fruits doesn’t stop at cooking. At BAKBEL, we pay special attention to the packaging of our products. We use high-quality materials that protect the fruits and preserve their freshness and flavour until they reach your kitchen. Each package is designed to be practical, and to maintain the integrity of our products throughout their shelf life.
