At the same time, upscale restaurants wanted to provide a complete array of fresh produce flavors year round. To remain competitive chefs sought innovative ways to keep costs low while still being able to offer their signature dishes to a discerning public. Prepared pur es met this need. What started out of economic necessity has become a practical reality. Prepared pur es have found their place in the kitchen.
Some chefs rely exclusively on prepared pur es.
Others use them to supplement their own creations. Today's chefs are free to focus on creativity by relying on pur ed cooking bases, in just the way Escoffier encouraged their predecessors. Our assortment of high quality cooking bases is made from field-ripened berries, fruits and vegetables that are pur ed and frozen. This allows professional chefs to become more productive and creative with cost management in mind. The Perfect Pur e of Napa Valley is available in nearly 40 flavors including Positively Pomegranate, Scarlet Orange Concentrate, Prickly Pear Cactus Fruit, Roasted Sweet Red Pepper and Roasted Sweet Yellow Pepper .
