Pidy introduces new addition into frozen sponge sheet collection

Belgian based, ready-to-fill pastry manufacturer, Pidy, has expanded its Technipat frozen sponge sheets range with an innovative new flavour. Now available in a chocolate sponge featuring almond, coconut and pistachio inclusions, the ‘Jaconde with Cocoa and Nuts’ sponge sheets are suitable for a range of sweet applications, from elegant layered cakes and decorative strips, through to individual desserts or even yule log.

Since the initial launch of the neutral and chocolate varieties, many have been asking for a Joconde sponge sheet with nutty inclusions. Delivering on the expectation, Pidy has continued to extend the collection to include innovative flavours, which give foodservice professionals even greater flexibility and choice for application. The rich chocolate flavour enriching the sponge and nutty inclusions, not only delivers great flavour, but also provides a contrast in textures and colours that can bring so much to the final dish.

The sponge sheets have a light as air texture but are also robust enough to hold fillings, and can be crafted into different shapes and sizes. The sponge has been made from a traditional French recipe of eggs and almond powder which brings a rich taste and dense texture. The sponge is not only soft and airy but also flexible enough for chefs and caterers to use as a quality base product that can be transformed into their very own pièce de résistance.

A versatile addition to any kitchen, the sponge sheets can be utilised in different ways, whether delicately stacked to form wonderful layered cakes, sandwiched with indulgent buttercream or rolled into festive roulades for a show-stopping end to a meal. Roulades may be retro but they’ll never go out of fashion and always give that special touch of occasion to any event. What’s more, with Pidy’s sponge sheets, they are simple to produce whilst maintaining a consistently high standard.

The sheets are stored frozen, therefore maintaining a shelf life of 12 months while being ready to defrost in a matter of minutes. Once thawed, the quality of the sheets is guaranteed for 48hours. The sheets, which measure 580mm long x 380mm wide x 05mm thick, come in cases of 10 and can be cut to any size or shape required.

Fabien Levet, National Account Manager – Foodservice at Pidy UK, commented:

“We’re delighted that our sponge sheets have continued to develop and grow in the UK foodservice, industrial & instore bakery sectors, and that we can continue developing new flavours that offer even more potential for foodservice professionals to push the culinary boundaries. The combination of the chocolate sponge with the pistachio, almonds and coconut pieces creates an incredible nutty burst of flavour and provides the perfect balance of texture, look and taste.

The sponge sheets are such a versatile ingredient to have to hand all year around but when our attention turns towards party season and there is a greater demand for indulgent desserts and celebratory bakes, the sponge sheets are an ideal go-to solution for all chefs. The traditional French recipe has been developed to achieve a delectably light texture and subtle flavour that complements rich fillings just as well as the lightness of seasonal berries.”

The sponge sheets are available through the comprehensive network of Pidy wholesalers and distributors in the bakery, foodservice and retail sectors.
