Leading food service baking and pizza brand Dr. Oetker Professional has extended its baking collection, with the launch of its brand-new Dr. Oetker Professional Chocolate Chips.

The perfect addition for a business’s baking supplies, these bake stable chocolate chips are specifically formulated for use within cakes and desserts.

Targeting a key gap in the market, Dr. Oetker Professional said whilst there are many types of compound or real chocolate chips already on the market, they are primarily focused on their melting properties as opposed to being used as an inclusion within cakes and desserts. Many out of home operators are now adding premium desserts to their menus and these new real chocolate chips play a key role in adding indulgence to a chocolatey dessert.

Available in Dark, Milk and White and created using real chocolate, whether its 50% cocoa for the dark or 25% cocoa for the milk, these tasty chocolate chips are developed to hold their shape when baked, making them the perfect ingredient for cookies, brownies, muffins and more.

Contrasting to other chocolate chips currently available on the Professional market, which are created for melting rather than maintaining a solid chocolate drop form, this new offering from Dr. Oetker Professional offers a tasty chocolate chip in every bite, regardless of the recipe they are added to.

“As the newest addition to our baking category, these new professional chocolate chips are sure to be a big hit with food service baking businesses and their customers,” Richard Cooper, Senior Brand Manager at Dr. Oetker Professional, said.

“The fact that they’re made from real chocolate, as opposed to a compound, offers businesses a simple way to add chocolate to their bakes without melting.

“With our already extensive out of home baking offering there is something for all businesses who create their own baked goods to utilise and we can’t wait for our baking partners to try these new choc chips for themselves.”

Whilst the Milk and White are suitable for vegetarians and the Dark is vegan, they are all fully Rainforest Alliance Certified and these chips come in a recyclable packaging.

Dr. Oetker Professional Chocolate Chips (MRRP: £9.99) will be available in Bidfood & Brakes from 24 March, in Milk, Dark and White, 750g x 10.
