It is the season for all things sweet, rich, and indulgent. Over the last 40 years, our team at Northwest Naturals has helped create delicious, trendy, and timeless holiday flavors for incredibly creative clients. We have seen their products go from the drawing board to the store shelves, and we want to see your holiday products get there too!
A quick and yummy way to kickstart your flavor innovation is by choosing an existing juice concentrate blend. This way, you do not have to take the time to create a brand-new product, but you also get something unique. For example, our Pie Blends are the perfect way to spice up your products in time for the holidays. They bring a unique sweetness and indulgence to confections, cocktails, brews, jams, and more without the time it takes to craft something new.
Let us dive into everything you need to know about our Pie Juice Concentrate Blends.
