The AVO “free” range for high-quality clean label convenience and sausage products

Many consumers appreciate natural foods which contain as few additives as possible, in short "clean label". In particular, the focus is on the use of flavour enhancers and the avoidance of ingredients which trigger allergies. In response to this, AVO offers a large number of spice mixtures, marinades and sauces as "free" versions, which contain no monosodium glutamate, yeast extract or allergenic ingredients. Consumers and food producers alike can rely on AVO's list of ingredients.

Conscious nutrition - Alternative proteins and hybrid products

The trend towards vegetarian and vegan diets continues, although many people are more interested in reducing their meat consumption than in completely renouncing it. In line with this, there is strong demand for alternative proteins which also meet the desire for healthy food. The Vegavo range of compounds is AVO’s offering for the production of meat-free convenience products such as vegan minced meat, burgers, nuggets, cevapcici or vegan chicken strips. Depending on the requirements, AVO uses a range of vegetable proteins or combinations of them.

In the hybrid product segment, AVO offers AVO Vegetable Cream as well as special vegetable preparations which are excellently suited for such applications and corresponding compounds. AVO special compounds, the result of continuous, intensive research and development, combine all the corresponding taste, texture, colour and freshness requirements.

AVO Liq-Würz vegetable cream - The innovation for a new generation of health-conscious nutrition

AVO Liq-Würz vegetable cream has been designed for use as a tasty substitute for animal fats when making sausage products. Based on high-quality canola oil and other specific components, it can replace up to 20 percent of animal fats. A scientific research project has been carried out to establish the technological and taste effect of the vegetable cream, which has already proven itself as an ingredient for use in the production of poultry and beef sausage products. It delivers the same spreadability for pates such as liver sausage or firm bite for boiled or frying sausages as conventional products.

In addition to this, the vegetable oil increases the intake of Omega-3 fatty acids.

The diversity of AVO vegetable cream is also evident in its use in the production of vegan alternatives and hybrid products.

AVO vegetable cream complies with the guidelines of the German Association for Foodstuffs without Genetic Engineering (VLOG) and is also available in organic quality and halal-compliant.

Flavour variety for high protein products

High-protein nutrition is far more than just a trend - it is a lifestyle that is appealing to more and more people. What was once primarily of interest to sports enthusiasts has long since developed into a popular nutritional concept in social media and among a broad target group. Whether for a conscious lifestyle or to support daily protein intake - the demand for innovative and flavourful solutions is constantly increasing.

With SOFIT, AVO offers a range for conscious high-protein nutrition that includes a series of innovative marinades: Emulsion marinades in the varieties paprika, gyros and garden herbs, which are ideal for marinating lean meat, as well as two complete marinades with vegetable pieces in the varieties wild mushroom and India, which are particularly suitable for flavourful stir-fries.

With this variety of flavours, AVO offers an ideal solution for anyone who wants to cater to the high-protein trend and create strong purchasing incentives at the butcher's counter and in the packaged meat section.

Organic variety for more delights

AVO has been meeting requirements for organic food for many years. Meeting the IFS Food Standard is just as much a matter of course for us as compliance with the EU Organic Regulation 2018/848 or Naturland specifications. These strict regulations apply to the procurement of raw materials from controlled organic cultivation, to grinding and mixing, as well as to packaging, storage and logistics.

Years of experience have resulted in one of the most extensive ranges of organic spices, marinades and seasoning sauces available in the processing spices segment. In addition to this, AVO can provide customised spice mixtures which are delivered ready for processing and manufactured according to customer specifications.
