versatile frozen delights are ideal for pastries, verrines, plate garnishes & more

Made of ripe fruit with chunks and fibers, frozen fruit compotes are now available from White Toque in six delicious flavors. They’re the ideal cold application for desserts and a perfect addition to any summer menu.

Compotes (French for "mixture") originated in medieval Europe and today their versatility makes them a gourmet-quality accompaniment. Not just a pastry ingredient or topping, compotes add sweet flavor and gourmet elegance to bakeries, hotels, coffee shops, casual dining and fast casual restaurants.

Available in strawberry, raspberry, cherry, peach, pear and rhubarb, it’s easy to showcase compote in applications that are sure to improve any food program.

Made of real pieces of fruit, all compote flavors are delicious on toasted bread or with pastries like our ready to bake and proof and bake croissants.

Compote is also suitable as a small side or garnish for any simple breakfast item, from waffles to muffins.

Make a simple, attractive and delicious verrine with yogurt or custard, fruit compote and chopped fresh fruit. Top with sliced peanuts or almonds and mint leaves for garnish. Serve the single serve delights in glass to showcase the layers.

Compote can be served as an accompaniment to any cold dessert, such as ice cream, cake or pies made with fruits.

To create a delectable sweet and savory pairing, try serving compotes with gourmet cheeses for a simple gourmet appetizer. The flavor contrast is most delectable with medium-to long-aged cheeses that are hard, compact and granular.
