Wholebake
Clients looking to experiment with snack foods and really gauge everything that Wholebake has to offer can take a trip down to the business ’ NPD kitchen based in its Chester headquarters . The kitchen – suitably named ‘ The Bar ’ – is a contemporary , innovative space equipped with a range equipment including ovens , hobs , mixers , mincers and an enrober . Guided by Wholebake ’ s expert NPD team , clients can get creative with a large variety of highquality ingredients to design and formulate their own unique recipes . All processes used in the kitchen are replicable in Wholebake ’ s factory , and from experience the business understands what readily transfers from lab to factory . Indeed , sometimes the factory produces different results than the kitchen , requiring modifications as they go from lab to full production . This demonstrates the value of factory trials pre-production , as clients can be sure they are gaining a realistic representation of what their final product will look like .
Wholebake holds its customer relationships close to its heart and is passionate to deliver dedicated , bespoke services . It works closely with all prospective clients to complete a comprehensive product development brief to allow the team to obtain a complete understanding of what the customer needs and how to bring their product to life . To speed up the process , an initial concept brief is readily available on Wholebake ’ s easy-to-use website , where customers can share their vision , as well as any preferences regarding the desired weight , shelf life , estimated yearly volume of the product , and any further nutritional values and dietary requirements ( Halal , Kosher , etc ), from which the team can then build upon ..
Product-wise , Wholebake has launched over 200 tasty new snacks over the past five years and has no intention of slowing down . Its extensive and expansive portfolio offers a multitude of different snack products , all glutenfree , healthy and delicious , all of which can be customized to meet the clients ’ specifications .
