Fruitslagers do not only restore land, but also the food industry as a whole. Often the leftovers of used products contain the most flavor. And that’s why we make a delicious syrup from hazelnut residues from Veld 4, we process our Boonzaak tempeh cuttings into a tempeh chili oil, and we withdraw the taste of wild herbs into a vinegar with Szechuan and elderflower. In this way, we close circles and create new revenue models for the regenerative food industry.
Fruitslagers not only capture flavors but also preserve them. Whether it’s by-products from our own production or foraged flavors from the forest, we use various techniques: fermentation, pickling, drying, you name it. Each method brings out new elements. All of them ensure that we can continue to enjoy the deep and complex richness around us.
Fruitslagers produce at Voedselstation. Voedselstation is a boss-free factory where the forces of different food makers are combined, connecting the entire supply chain. Located among the fruit production in the Betuwe, in Culemborg, the production kitchen is filled daily with new smells and flavors. From all these different productions, the finest by-products remain. Fruitslagers turns these into wild vinegars, hot sauces, and marmalade.
Fruitslagers prefer to get lost in a lush landscape. By foraging and planting at the same time, we increase biodiversity, and thus healthy soil. With PRESERVED, we combine landscape restoration with circular production. From hazelnut leftovers from Field 4 we make a delicious syrup, Boonzaak leftovers are made into a potent chili oil, and herb-rich fields are planted for our wild vinegars. Just to name a small sample of the development kitchen. Product development - like the list of flavors in our lush nature - is endless
