That's why Macphie offers a complete range of customised meal components designed to meet your individual product brief. These include: sauces, marinades, stuffings, glazes, flavoured butters and drizzles.

They are all unique; all created using fresh, quality ingredients from around the world.

Our experienced team of development chefs and food technologists work in partnership with customers to transform innovative ideas into marketable products. Our meal components transform standard cuts of meat, poultry, fish and vegetables into tempting, premium meal solutions.

We understand that differentiation is key to success and we work proactively to bring market trends, creative recipe ideas and information to customers. These are based on consumer insight and our expertise in food technology.

We have an extremely flexible approach and specialise in producing small, frequent batches of fresh and frozen products.

Stuffings - State-of-the-art extrusion technology enables us to produce stuffing pellets and logs in many different shapes and sizes. Ingredients such as rice, couscous, vegetables, fruit and cooked meats can be mixed with fresh herbs and spices to add interesting textures and flavours. When used within formed products, extruded stuffing logs enhance flavour profiles by absorbing cook out and improve visual appeal when served.

Marinades - Macphie manufactures a wide variety of marinades to help introduce subtle, or intense but balanced flavour profiles to meat, poultry and fish products. Our experienced team of chefs and food technologists have a wealth of knowledge of how different meats and meat cuts perform with various marinades to ensure the best possible texture and flavour of the finished product.

Butters - Butter pellets can be used to introduce flavours to all sorts of applications, such as ready to cook meat and poultry products, vegetable side dishes, desserts and flavoured breads. Butter pellets are available in a range of off the shelf shapes and sizes such as discs, 3-D ovals and florets.

Sauces - Whether as an integral part of an added value ready meal or as a component in a ready to cook kit, our creative development team excels at creating customised smooth or particulated sauces, gravies, drizzles and jus. These are available in a variety of packaging formats including chilled or frozen bulk sachets, individual pouches or IQF pellets.

With consumers demanding meal solutions that offer sophisticated flavour combinations and the authentic restaurant experience at home, Macphie sauces can be developed in an array of flavour combinations - whether traditional or contemporary, to suit your individual requirements.

Glazes - A perfect way to add flavour and visual appeal to meat, poultry and seafood. In particular, basting glazes are ideal for Summer eating barbeque products such as pork, ribs with a tangy BBQ glaze or honey and bourbon glazed chicken breasts.

Glazes are available in bulk packaging, to be deposited in a customer's factory, or packed into sachets for the consumer to apply prior to, during or after cooking.
