Fourayes, the UK’s No1 Fruit Processor
The UK’s largest fruit processor and commercial jam manufacturer for bakeries, desserts and dairy. Fourayes products include: fruit fillings, industrial jams, processed English Bramley apple (diced and sliced) & mincemeat – all manufactured at our site in our 100 acre Bramley Apple orchard in Kent.
The Fourayes Farm and Factory are located in Kent, and the factory is surrounded by 100 acres of our very own English Bramley apple orchards (where we grow our apples especially for long-term storage to ensure fresh English Bramley apple is available all year round).
Fourayes Fruit Product Range; including Bramley Apple, Fruit Fillings & Commercial Jams
At Fourayes we grow, harvest, store and process English Bramley apples that come from our own orchards and other local growers.
Commercial & Bakery Jams, Conserves, Preserves, Confectioneries & Glazes. Fourayes manufactures commercial jams and preserves for bakeries on an industrial scale.
Fruit fillings for commercial bakeries and dessert manufacturers, a wide range of high quality fruit fillings.
The Bramley apples in our mincemeat carry English or Kentish provenance – a great label addition. We use the very best raw materials to create high quality, ready to use products.
Utterly Fruity is a soft eating, flavoursome fruit piece that retains these characteristics even after baking or processing for other products such as desserts.
Fourayes installed the first aseptic fruit processing plant in the UK, manufacturing commercial aseptic purees and jams and it is our biggest growth area. Aseptic means NO preservatives.
At Fourayes we offer a wide range of fruit for dairy products, and our Bramley apple comes with the added advantage of English or Kentish provenance.
Product innovations, new product specifications and new ways to meet our customers’ needs are all part of a day’s work for the Fourayes Food Development. Talk to us about your requirements.
