As a busy coffee shop or cafe owner, you know that providing a delicious and varied selection of pastries is essential for attracting and retaining customers. But between managing your menu, ordering ingredients, and running your business, finding the time to bake fresh pastries can be a challenge. That’s where ready-to-bake pastries come in.

RTB pastries have several advantages over fresh-baked pastries. First, they are convenient. Frozen pastries are pre-made and ready to be baked, so you can easily add them to your menu without spending time and effort on preparation. Simply thaw the pastries and bake them according to the instructions on the package. This allows you to offer a wide range of pastries without the added time and labor of making them from scratch.

Second, ready-to-bake pastries are consistent. Because they are pre-made, frozen pastries are always the same size and shape. This means that you can be sure that your customers will get a consistent product every time they order. This consistency is especially important for items like croissants and Danish pastries, which can be difficult to make by hand.

Third, RTB pastries are cost-effective. Because they are pre-made, frozen pastries are typically less expensive than fresh-baked pastries. This means that you can offer a wider range of pastries to your customers without breaking the bank. And because frozen pastries have a longer shelf life than fresh pastries, you can stock up on them and be prepared for busy times without worrying about waste.

Fourth, frozen pastries are high-quality. At Dutchland Foods, we are dedicated to producing exceptional frozen pastries using only the highest-quality ingredients. We source our ingredients from reputable suppliers and use artisanal recipes to create delicious and authentic pastries. When you choose Dutchland Foods as your frozen pastry supplier, you can be sure that you are getting the best quality pastries on the market.

In conclusion, frozen pastries are a convenient, consistent, cost-effective, and high-quality option for busy coffee shops and cafes. At Dutchland Foods, we are proud to offer a wide range of frozen pastries to our wholesale and private label customers. We invite you to explore our product line and discover all the delicious options we have to offer.

Happy Baking!

We wanted to take a moment to applaud our Food Safety Team, and all their hard work that led up to achieving our latest score of a BRC AA+ Rating! In light of this recent milestone, we took some time to interview Sarah Warner, Manager of our Food Safety Personnel here at Dutchland Foods.

Can you provide an overview of Dutchland Foods’ approach to food safety and quality assurance?

All day, every day! We approach with a team effort and a mindset that every employee shares food safety responsibility.

Can you give an example of a specific measure we take to ensure the safety and integrity of its food products?

Allergen control. Products must contain only the allergens listed in the product, so we take careful measures at every step of our process to ensure that this is the case.

How do we stay up-to-date with industry standards and regulations related to food safety?

The FS team has enrolled in many industry email lists that keep us updated with regulations, including FDA & USDA emails. We also learn through webinars, customers, and auditors. The BRC guidelines themselves help us to stay up to date with regulations and standards.

What role does the BRC Global Standards play in Dutchland Foods’ Day to day operations? 

The BRCGS provides guidelines for our food safety systems, setting a standard for everything from maintenance controls to sanitation programs to manufacturing & quality processes. The standards also align with FDA regulations.

Can you explain the process Dutchland Foods went through to achieve the BRC AA+ Food Safety rating?

Every day we work to comply with the standards to maintain the safest & highest quality of product possible. Preparation is key!

The “+” in the rating is because the audit was unannounced. We knew the auditor was coming sometime in a four-month window, but we didn’t know when! The audit was 2.5 days long and included a physical plant inspection and procedure/paperwork review.

What are some of the key criteria or requirements we have had to meet to attain the BRC AA+ rating?

Supplier management, HACCP, sanitation, allergen control, GMPs for employees (Good Manufacturing Practices), maintenance programs, temperature controls, metal detection, pest control, chemical control, employee training, product weight controls, process controls, food safety culture, to name a few – every step of the food process is affected by food safety!

How does achieving the BRC AA+ rating benefit Dutchland Foods and its customers?

It provides assurance that our food is high quality and safe and that we are a supplier that can be trusted.

Can you highlight any specific initiatives or investments we made to enhance its food safety practices?

We have recently purchased new state-of-the art equipment, including a new mixer, line, attachments, and spiral proofer and freezer, that all enhance the safety of the product that we produce.

What sets Dutchland Foods apart from other food manufacturers in terms of food safety and quality?

We have highly motivated employees with strong work ethics that keep things moving! Management is also willing to invest in the company to uphold our food safety and quality standards.

How do we prioritize continuous improvement in its food safety practices?

Every quarter a trained group of employees audits one section of the BRC standards to identify potential areas for improvement. We approach with a team effort.

Can you tell us a little about the Food Safety Team, and what this accomplishment means to you? 

The Food Safety Team consists of five dedicated employees. We work hard but also have fun. It is very satisfying that all our hard work has paid off, but we know food safety takes continual effort!

At Dutchland Foods, we’re always on the lookout for ways to make our pastries the highest quality they can be, and our production processes smoother than ever. That’s why we recently welcomed two amazing guests: Thierry Reboullet from France and Wiep Bergsma all the way from The Netherlands.

Why Did Dutchland Decide to Bring Them In?

Thierry and Wiep came for different reasons, but both were super important! Wiep, the tech whiz from Rademaker, traveled across the ocean to help us launch our new makeup line smoothly. Think of him as the pastry guru who knows how to make the flakiest pastries at any scale! Meanwhile, Thierry, from the land of croissants and gourmet delights, joined us to tweak our fillings and work on a cool new project.

Tackling Challenges and Goals

We had some big goals in mind when we flew them in. Wiep jumped in to make sure all our products smoothly transitioned to the new makeup line, training our team as he went. Thierry focused on perfecting our fillings and helping out with a special project we’ve got cooking.

Perfect Match for Dutchland’s Goals

Thierry and Wiep’s skills fit like a glove with what we’re all about at Dutchland. Wiep knows his way around pastry-making equipment like nobody’s business, and Thierry’s got years of experience making mouthwatering fillings. They’re both all about making top-notch pastries efficiently.

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

Our collaboration with Thierry and Wiep was all about teamwork. Wiep dove right into the nitty-gritty with our production crew, showing them the ropes of the new equipment. Meanwhile, Thierry teamed up with our R&D pros to tweak our fillings and formulas.

Instant Improvements and Smart Tweaks

Thanks to Thierry and Wiep’s genius ideas, we saw quick improvements in our production. Wiep’s tweaks to our dough process and Thierry’s focus on temperature control for fillings made a big difference right away.

Setting Up for Success

Having Thierry from France and Wiep all the way from The Netherlands around wasn’t just about fixing things up now—it’s about setting ourselves up for success in the long run. With their help, we’re better equipped to take on whatever challenges come our way and keep making the tastiest pastries around.

In a nutshell, our pastry adventure with Thierry Reboullet and Wiep Bergsma  wasn’t just a visit—it was a recipe for success! Their skills and know-how have helped us level up our pastry game and keep moving forward towards our goal of pastry perfection.

Within the world of pastry innovation, Dutchland Foods sets a high bar of culinary craftsmanship. At that heart of our commitment to creating excellent pastries lies Our Research & Development Team. In this blog post, we delve into the fascinating journey of how this dedicated team bring exciting and unique pastries from concept to reality, catering specifically to the discerning tastes of Private Label Buyers.

The Pastry Request:

It all begins with a simple pastry request. Whether it’s a classic Danish, a flaky croissant, or a unique twist on an old favorite, Our lead R&D Specialist Faith and her team are ready to take on the challenge. When a request lands on their desks, the excitement of creating something extraordinary ignites their passion.

Research and Recipe Development:

The first step in this culinary adventure is research. Faith scours through centuries-old recipes, modern trends, and international influences to gather inspiration. Her mission is to craft a pastry that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of our Private Label Buyers.

Once inspired, it’s time to get hands-on. The team starts experimenting, creating different versions of the pastry until they get it as close to perfection as possible. Every ingredient is meticulously chosen for taste and quality, ensuring that every bite is a delightful experience.

Collaboration with Production Team:

Creating an exceptional pastry isn’t just about flavor; it’s also about feasibility. Faith and her team collaborate closely with our production team to assess if the concept can be realistically produced on a mass scale. This partnership ensures that the vision aligns seamlessly with the practicalities of large-scale production.

Private Label Buyer Feedback:

With a prototype in hand, it’s time to send it to our clients for feedback and approval. Their valuable insights and discerning tastes guide us toward perfection. Every comment, suggestion, and critique is invaluable, propelling us toward the ultimate goal of delivering a pastry that exceeds expectations.

Fine-Tuning and Perfection:

After receiving feedback, Faith and her team go back to the drawing board, making meticulous tweaks to ensure that every aspect of the pastry meets the highest standards. The process can be repetitive, but it’s this commitment to excellence that sets Dutchland Foods apart from the competition. Remarkably, this entire process, from initial concept to a pastry ready for mass production, can be accomplished in just around 8 weeks. Dutchland Foods takes pride in its agility and efficiency in bringing new culinary delights to market.

At Dutchland Foods, we take you on a smooth and carefully planned journey from the idea stage to your plate. It’s a process filled with creativity, new ideas, and hard work. We welcome Private Label Buyers to discover our world, where each pastry is a carefully crafted work of art made with attention and a strong commitment to going beyond what you expect. Come and experience this delightful adventure with us and savor the difference for yourself.

There’s nothing parents appreciate more than to see the look on their children’s faces when they’ve made an accomplishment. This fall season, help your kids have a successful fundraiser using pastry puffins or butter hearts! Today, we will focus on three ways you can support your children with their Pastry Puffins + ButterHearts Fundraiser and meet their goal!

Set a clear goal and make a plan.

Before the fundraiser officially begins, and your child starts selling, work out a goal of exactly how many units they desire to sell. Looking at the incentives for each fundraiser, they most likely will have a number in mind for a certain product they’d like to buy or a cash prize they want to reach. Set an achievable goal, and then create a plan of how they want to achieve those many units.

Additionally, it will be good to manage expectations, explaining to your children that not everyone will buy, and that is perfectly OK. The main point is to be doing their best and having fun while supporting the cause.

Practice the Art of Persuasion.

Selling for a school fundraiser can help your children learn valuable skills to set them up for success. You might want to teach them some tips on how to approach potential buyers politely and confidently. Some of these tips might include smiling and making eye contact, coming up with a compelling pitch, and making sure they show gratitude, thanking everyone whether they make a purchase or not.

Utilize Social Media + Their Contacts.

If you have social media (or your child does), using platforms like Facebook or Instagram can be a catalyst to your child’s success! Create an event on Facebook or a few posts to your Instagram Story to let your family and friends know that your family is participating a fundraiser. Sharing pictures of pastry puffins and butter hearts can help get everyone excited! Make sure to use our social media accounts which have ample content on the behind-the-scenes of the pastries themselves. @butterhearts_ @pastrypuffins @dutchlandfundraising. 

Supporting your children during their school fundraiser is a great opportunity to help them with valuable life skills. Helping your children  set clear goals, showing them valuable skills in talking to others and how to utilize social media for good, you can help them contribute to the success of their own achievement, and their schools!

Hello dear patrons, partners, and friends,

We wanted to take a moment to reflect on our Open House on August 26th, and more importantly, to express our gratitude.

First and foremost, thank you to each and every one of you who took time out of your busy schedules to join us. Your enthusiasm and support were obvious, and it truly made the event special. We were thrilled to see familiar faces, meet new ones, and share a day that was all about celebrating our accomplishments, blessings, our history, and our future.

The tour of the facility was an incredible experience, not just for our guests but for us as well. Being able to show you firsthand where everything happens, and to share our passion for the processes behind our pastries was truly an honor.

Through our history video, we took a nostalgic journey together, tracing the roots of Dutchland Foods and reminiscing the milestones that have brought us to where we are today. Your positive feedback on the video was heartwarming, and we’re glad to have captured the essence of our journey in a way that resonates with all.

And of course, what’s a gathering without some delightful food? The catered lunch was a hit, and we hope you enjoyed the flavors as much as we enjoyed presenting them to you. It was a wonderful time of fellowship, laughter, and creating memories.

Last but by no means least, a special acknowledgment is due to our sponsors. While we will provide a detailed list of them towards the end, we want to say this now: Your support and belief in Dutchland Foods not only made this event possible but has been instrumental in our journey. A massive thank you is in store.

In closing, the Open House was not just an event; it was a testament to the bond we share with our community, our partners, and our patrons. Here’s to many more years of togetherness, growth, and shared success.

Until next time, Happy Baking!

Warm regards, Dutchland Foods
