Summer is ice cream season and what better time to talk about variegates, and Stewart Ingredient Systems’ product offerings in this category.
The three main criteria in evaluating variegates of course are taste, color, and texture. Above all, a sucessful variegate has to deliver on taste, its color must be appealing, and the texture should provide the desired “mouth feel”, while maintaining the highest quality in manufacturing processes.
SIS has a proven track record of delivering highest quality variegates with excellent performance characteristics in full fat, reduced fat, and NSA systems. We have developed many varieties of variegates for ice creams, yogurts, frozen novelties, as well as sorbets and gelatos. These varieties include but are not limited to fruits, chocolates, caramels, creams, and marshmallow.

As we have advertised, and as demonstrated in this space in previous posts, SIS is one of, if not, the longest standing and most experienced Low Water Activity fillings developer and manufacturer in the country. Our experience in this field quite literally goes back to the first introduction into the US market of fruit-filled breakfast cereals more than three decades ago.

Increasingly, consumers are motivated to reduce or eliminate sugar and/or consume alternate natural sweeteners.
Stewart Ingredient Systems, Inc. has been formulating solutions for smaller portions and higher flavor intensity to specifically combat the marketplace reaction over the past 5 plus years to smaller portions and better-for-you options in the grocery aisle. Our products can be found on the shelves today in GMO-Free, HFCS-Free and All-Natural snacking options.
Is your next Health and Wellness/Clean Label project in need of protein fortification? SIS has developed a complete line of plant based protein fortified fillings, toppings, variegates and fruit/vegetable dips with protein addition solely from plant based sources.
At Stewart Ingredients Systems, not only are we looking to produce and sell more product, we’re always looking to reduce inefficiencies and waste. A recent study highlighting the cost-savings that some companies are able to achieve confirms our thinking: “…a British-based food manufacturer achieved a more than 300-fold return on investment by running an audit that revealed seven percent of the food it bought remained in bulk containers after they were emptied.” (Umberto Bacchi/Thomson Reuters)
November is fast approaching and it’s the perfect time to roll-out seasonal offerings for consumers over the next three months. As a R&D house that manufactures all of our custom formulated items under one roof, SIS is perfectly positioned to accommodate any seasonal concepts and equipped to do so in a rapid fashion.
