What is this product?
Grilled zucchini slices, frozen, in a 1 kg pack. The slices are selected, grilled and quickly frozen to retain their flavour and texture while making a vegetable preparation practical for service.
Producer and format
Nettuno Alimentari S.p.A. in Caronno Pertusella, Varese, supplies the product and has BRC and IFS Food certification. The professional format is a 1 kg pack.
Organoleptic profile
The slices have a mild zucchini flavour with the savoury character of grilling and a tender, workable texture. They provide a ready vegetable component without requiring the kitchen to grill each batch from fresh.
Professional uses and dosing
Use the slices as a side dish for meat or fish, in salads and pasta dishes, or as a topping and vegetable layer for pizza. Portion according to the recipe and thaw or heat following the pack instructions.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not add the slices while they are carrying excess thawing liquid, as this can dilute a sauce or soften a pizza base. Avoid overcooking and do not refreeze product that has already been thawed.
Storage and handling
Keep the 1 kg pack frozen at the required freezing temperature and protect the cold chain. Close the pack after taking the needed quantity and use the product according to the handling directions on the packaging.
