The product at a glance
Traditional Bun BLU 100 from Desalpes Italy is a frozen 90 g hamburger bun packed in a carton of 36 pieces with a guaranteed net weight of 3 kg. Colorant E133 creates an intense, striking blue tone, while SESAME seeds finish the surface. The consistent size suits fish burgers, poke burgers, street food, food photography and themed events. The soft crumb holds complete fillings and makes the color an intentional part of the presentation.
The producer

No further company information appears in the product sheet, so this description uses only the available facts about ingredients, profile, format and preparation.
Features and sensory profile
The intense blue tone is the bun’s defining feature and creates a strong contrast with pale, green or pink ingredients. It is designed for visual impact while remaining practical as a hamburger bun: soft crumb, topped surface and a 90 g format. SESAME adds a toasted note and a clear visual reference on the crust. Fish burgers, poke burgers and event recipes can use the colored accent deliberately, while the filling defines the taste. Toasting increases the contrast between the exterior and the crumb.

Regeneration and professional kitchen use
Remove only the buns required for service from the freezer. Thaw at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes. Once the crumb is soft, open the bun with an even cut if it is not already split. Heat on a griddle for 1-2 minutes per side or in an oven at 160-180 °C for 3-5 minutes. Brush the cut side with clarified butter and toast it briefly for a drier, more aromatic base. Heat should refresh the surface without drying the crumb. During mise en place, keep the blue bun separate from other formats and assign it deliberately to the planned recipe so the color remains an intentional part of the dish.
Serving ideas and pairings
The intense blue works with presentations built around fish, the sea, a theme or creative street food. Make a fish burger with crisp lettuce and yogurt sauce. For a poke burger, pair salmon, avocado, cucumber and a fresh sauce while keeping enough blue visible. In street food, crispy chicken and a light sauce create a sharp contrast. At a themed event, serve grilled vegetables with a cream-cheese spread. Food photography benefits from green vegetables and pale sauces. In catering, identify the blue bun on the menu and communicate the presence of SESAME. The 90 g format provides a full portion rather than a mini item.
