How can you be assured of quality and a fully organic product when dealing with a complex ingredient like the peanut? In this article, we take you on the journey of the Dapp Organic Peanut Sauce, from the origin of the peanuts to the final product. We explain why this peanut sauce is so special and why developing a ready-to-use organic version was such a major challenge!
The origin of the ingredients
The organic peanuts in Dapp Organic Peanut Sauce come from Horizon Natuurvoeding, a producer in the organic sector that has been supplying wholesome organic food for fifty years. The peanuts they select come from China, where they are grown by organic farmers who work with respect for nature. These peanuts are relatively sweet, making them perfect for the Dapp peanut sauce recipe.
Although it would be attractive to source organic peanuts closer to home in Europe, the supply of suitable peanuts is currently limited. That is why Horizon works with reliable partners in China who provide the highest quality peanuts. This means the peanuts are not sprayed with harmful pesticides and no artificial fertilizers are used.
Production process
From the cultivation of the peanuts to the packaging of the sauce, constant checks are carried out to ensure that Dapp peanut sauce meets organic standards and high quality requirements. Regular tests for taste, aroma, appearance, and viscosity ensure that the product remains consistent and meets the requirements of SKAL and other quality standards.
Additives
We understand that the presence of E-numbers can raise questions. Ideally, we avoid additives, but in this case, E270 (lactic acid) and E415 (xanthan gum) are essential. Without these natural E-numbers, microorganisms such as molds or bacteria would compromise the shelf life and food safety of the sauce. Furthermore, the texture would not remain consistent: oil and water would separate.
Both substances are obtained through natural fermentation and are permitted in organic products. Lactic acid acts as a mild preservative, and xanthan gum ensures that the sauce remains smooth and stable, even after transport or prolonged storage.
What you won't find in our sauce is just as important: no artificial preservatives, no unnecessary sugars or fats, and no compromises on quality. Avoiding artificial stabilizers and preservatives made it a challenge to create a product that is both natural and shelf-stable.
Enjoy!
The result speaks for itself: an organic peanut sauce that tastes even better than homemade, without the hassle. From the cultivation of the peanuts to your plate: enjoy a product we are proud of. Enjoy! Click on this link to see where you can pick up your jar.
