KANSAS CITY, MO —Frozen puff pastry dough producer Pennant, an Aspire Bakeries brand, is making a comeback and seizing opportunities to efficiently execute traditional pastry applications with limited labor.
“With the abundance of resources that Pennant provides,” said Lisa Papaloni, Aspire Bakeries’ director of marketing. “In-store bakeries can scale up their existing offerings by adding appetizers, meal items and snacks made from puff pastry.”
It’s true that operations like cruise ships, hotels and in-store bakeries need to focus on efficiency and ease-of-use. However, with consumers hyper-focused on experiences and indulgence as self-care — while still controlling spending — Pennant’s new focus on innovation through inspiration provides these operators the best of all worlds.
“Chefs strive for innovation in flavor profiles, techniques and culinary creations, and Pennant’s high-quality puff pastry is ideal for achieving those goals,” Papaloni said. “Our goal is to make their job easier.”
In addition to offering tips, tricks, and inspiration on its website and in technical manuals, Pennant has also deepened its relationship with the American Culinary Federation (ACF).
Not only did the brand receive ACF’s official Seal of Approval — which required extensive testing and evaluations to deem the dough superior in application, appearance and performance — but Pennant has also increased its exposure with the culinary experts who are involved with the group.
