BRINKERS AT ANUGA 2011
If you wish
to find out why we are so much better in chocolate
spreads, I really believe that you should come and see
us at the ANUGA 2011 in Cologne.
From Saturday 8 up to Wednesday 12 October, my team and
I will be present in: Hall 02.2, stand no. A 058,
where we present the latest developments in the
conventional and organic chocolate spreads category.
    
Of course we
will present our main conventional brands
Nusco, Nusica and BubbleChoq.
Next to that, we will focus on the very successful,
premium positioned Brinkers Chocolate Symphony
and Brinkers It’s My Life, our Organic and
Fairtrade Chocolate spreads.
If you would like to learn more about our amazing range
of chocolate spreads, please arrange a meeting with us
during the ANUGA by mailing me at

Food at PLMA 2011:
Come and
see us at the PLMA in Amsterdam on 24 and 25 May, where
we would like to show you why more and more buyers have
made a clear choice for Brinkers Chocolate Spreads.
Of course, it is a well known fact that Brinkers is
leading the way in the rapidly growing Organic (&
Fairtrade) Chocolate Spreads category, but there is a
lot more that we can offer you.
For your
own label, you can pick one of the excellent products
from our wide range of products, whether that is a
classic hazelnut-chocolate spread, or a trendy
dark-chocolate one.
However, you can also, together with our team of highly
experienced R&D people, develop your very own product
according to your own unique recipe.
If you
wish to arrange a meeting in advance, please contact us
at your earliest convenience.
Looking
forward to seeing you in Amsterdam!
Best regards,
Danny Schuwer

Food AT BIOFACH 2011:
=========================================
For your information, herewith the ‘Times Chocolate
Spreads Taste Test’, as earlier this month published in
“The Times”, in which Brinkers Food is very prominently
represented.
The two best reviewed chocolate spreads are both products
of Brinkers.
|
1. * * * * |
Green & Black's Organic Hazelnut Chocolate Spread (a
Brinkers-product) |
|
|
The Times: |
|
|
"The most appealing visually - just look at that dark,
rich texture. Not much aroma, but scoop out a spoonful
and there's a versatile, fudge-like consistency you
could happily use in cakes and baking". |
|
1. * * * * |
Chocoreale Choco Bio (a Brinkers-product) |
|
|
The Times: |
|
|
"The most appealing visually - just look at that dark,
rich texture. Not much aroma, but scoop out a spoonful
and there's a versatile, fudge-like consistency you
could happily use in cakes and baking". |
|

The other reviewed (and not by Brinkers produced)
chocolate spreads were : |
|
|
|
|
3. * * * |
Nutella |
|
|
The Times: |
|
|
"a little generic, it's just a bit too sweet and a
touch oily". |
|
|
|
|
4. * * |
Tesco Finest Praline Hazelnut Chocolate Spread |
|
|
The Times: |
|
|
"It has a quite a gritty texture. You can see the
sugar crystals, and it's the sweetness that hits you
first, the flavour second". |
|
5. * |
Galaxy Spread |
|
|
The Times: |
|
|
"It tastes like chocolate - just not very nice
chocolate". |
|
6. no stars |
Cadbury Milk Chocolate Spread |
|
|
The Times: |
|
|
"Absolutely terrible. It's something an industrial
chemist has cooked up in a lab. Vegetably, sweet and
synthetic, this is genuinely upsetting". |

Taste test... chocolate spreads
Look out for:
An immediate chocolate taste that’s natural and not
cloyingly sweet, plus a thick, smooth texture that doesn’t
err on the side of oiliness. If it’s a chocolate and nut
spread, look for a balance of flavours.
Guest panellists: Keith Hurdman and Louise Nason,
respectively chocolatier and owner of Melt, W11 (020-7727
5030).
The top three
**** Green & Black’s Hazelnut Chocolate Spread, 400g,
£2.65
Very fine tasting with an almost delicate hazelnut flavour.
You don’t get a massive chocolatey kick, but there’s
nothing synthetic here. Really quite pleasant, you could
eat a lot of this before feeling ill.
**** Choco Chocoreale Bio, 350g, £2.49 (available from
Fresh & Wild)
The most appealing visually – just look at that dark, rich
texture. Not much aroma, but scoop out a spoonful and
there’s a versatile, fudge-like consistency you could
happily use in cakes and baking.
*** Nutella, 200g, £1.02
A little generic, it’s just a bit too sweet and a touch
oily. The balance of chocolate and hazelnut is good though,
so you can see why people might like this.
...and the rest?
** Tesco Finest Praline Hazelnut Chocolate Spread, 225g,
£1.19
Although this is very soft and spreadable, it still has
quite a gritty texture. You can see the sugar crystals,
and it’s the sweetness that hits you first, the flavour
second.
* Galaxy Spread, 300g, £1.89
This looks whipped, there’s an aerated texture which isn’t
what you want. It tastes like chocolate – just not very
nice chocolate.
no stars Cadbury Milk Chocolate Spread, 400g, £1.89
Absolutely terrible. It’s something an industrial chemist
has cooked up in a lab. Vegetably, sweet and synthetic,
this is genuinely upsetting.
