Coatings and Fillings - Page 3

Diverse coatings, glazes, and fillings are essential elements of a dessert's architecture, shaping its flavor profile, structure, and presentation. Best Way Foods is an official supplier of leading European manufacturers of confectionery ingredients. We offer professional-grade coatings, glazes, and ready-to-use fillings that enable pastry chefs, bakers, and manufacturers to create stable, high-quality desserts without complex production processes.

 

Range of Glazes and Fillings

Our catalog features professional ingredients specifically designed for the needs of HoReCa, confectioners, and food manufacturing.

 

Professional Coatings

This category includes various types of glazes and confectionery coatings:

• chocolate glazes

• confectionery coatings

• compounds

• mirror glazes

• sugar glazes

• fondants for coating choux pastry

These coatings create an aesthetic finish, define texture, and protect desserts from drying out. They are widely used to coat cakes, pastries, donuts, éclairs, ice cream, bars, candies, and cookies. Professional coatings shape the product's aesthetics—creating glossy or matte surfaces, adding texture, and enhancing the overall flavor profile.

 

Ready-to-Use Confectionery Fillings

Ready-made fillings are professional creams and pastes designed for filling desserts, pastries, and chocolate products. They already possess optimal consistency, stability, and flavor balance. Our assortment includes:

• nut fillings

• caramel fillings

• chocolate-nut fillings

• cream fillings

• fruit fillings

• fillings with crunchy inclusions

These products are used for cakes, pastries, croissants, chocolates, bars, and various types of baked goods. Some fillings in our range are bake-stable and can be used within products during the baking process.

 

Nut Pastes

100% natural hazelnut, almond, and pistachio pastes are staple ingredients for creating creams, ganaches, fillings, and mousses. They possess a rich flavor and are widely used in professional confectionery production. Currently, a ready-made filling for "Dubai Chocolate," containing kataifi pastry and natural pistachio paste, is exceptionally popular.

 

Praline

Classic hazelnut and almond pralines are creamy masses made from caramelized nuts. They are used to create:

• candy fillings

• components for creams and ganaches

• mousses

• ice cream

• dessert sauces

Praline adds a deep roasted-caramel flavor and complex texture to desserts.

 

Chocolate-Nut Pastes

Ready-to-use creamy mixtures based on chocolate and nut pastes. These are popular professional fillings for:

• puff pastries

• croissants

• desserts

• candies

• bars

Chocolate-nut pastes are used as standalone fillings or as a base for creams and mousses. The most renowned chocolate-nut paste is Gianduja—a natural chocolate-hazelnut paste, widely beloved by children under the name "Nutella." Gianduja (gianduia or gianduja) is a chocolate paste consisting of one-third (30%) ground hazelnuts; it has been known for two centuries and is recognized by everyone today as the filling in "Ferrero Rocher" chocolates.

 

Poppy Seeds and Poppy Seed Filling

Poppy seeds and poppy seed fillings are traditional ingredients for rich yeast pastries. The ready-made poppy seed filling has an optimal texture and flavor balance, allowing for its use in rolls, buns, pies, and cakes.

 

Professional Confectionery Applications

Coatings, glazes, and fillings are extensively applied in the production of:

• cakes and pastries

• chocolate candies

• croissants and desserts

• ice cream

• confectionery bars

• rich yeast pastries

 

Advantages of Ready-to-Use Fillings, Glazes, and Professional Coatings

Ready-made confectionery ingredients significantly simplify production processes and allow for the creation of a consistent product even without complex equipment.

• Time and Resource Savings: Using ready-made fillings and glazes reduces production cycles and lessens the need for in-house cream and filler preparation. This is especially relevant for small-scale productions, craft patisseries, and HoReCa establishments.

• Consistent Results: Ready-made fillings have an optimal consistency and flavor balance, ensuring predictable results regardless of production conditions.

• Production Flexibility: Ready-to-use ingredients allow for operation even under challenging production conditions, such as when a full preparation cycle is not possible or during power outages.
