Italy: Mc Garlet launches a new line of dried exotics

During Fruit Logistica 2012, FreshPlaza met Luca Garletti, manager of the Italian company Mc Garlet, specializing in exotics. At the moment Mc Garlet is launching a tasty novelty onto the market: a line of dried products.

As Luca Garletti explains: "Compared to fresh fruit, dried fruit has no water and concentrates fibres, sugar and minerals, becoming a nutritious, filling and not too calorific snack. This type of fruit is ideal as delicious and healthy snack."

At the moment the assortment includes:

Sliced pineapple or in pieces
Sliced coconut
Ginger in pieces
Mango in pieces
Sliced papaya
Pomelo in pieces
Mixed fruit

Other tastes will be added, such as dried aloe and citrus.

From left to right: sliced coconut, ginger in pieces and mixed fruit. All kinds are available in 150 g or 250 g bags.

Fresh fruit is peeled, cut and dried with warm air.
