Chewco Spotlights Mochi, Fusion Textures, and Frozen Production Solutions at IBA 2025
DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY — May 2025 — As Asian food trends continue to shape the European bakery industry, Chewco is returning to IBA 2025 with an expanded lineup of gluten-free, texture-driven baking solutions — from chewy mochi to pillowy donuts and crispy street food favorites — designed for commercial, frozen, and industrial production.
A brand of Texture Maker, Chewco has built a reputation for delivering versatile baking powdered premixes and ingredients that help manufacturers and bakeries tap into the global appetite for chewy mochi textures, Asian fusion pastries, and gluten-free specialties. At this year’s show, the brand is placing a spotlight on scalable solutions for trending products like mochi ice cream, mochi churros, bubble waffle, taiyaki, butter mochi, mochi buns — applications growing in popularity across EMEA markets.
Fuelling Europe’s Appetite for New Textures
The surge in demand for soft, stretchy, and indulgent textures has opened new opportunities for industrial bakeries and frozen dessert producers. At Booth #E34 Hall 15, Chewco will showcase a range of frozen-production-friendly mixes and doughs designed for these evolving tastes.
Key highlights include:
-

-
MochiBake Mix (gluten-free): A super versatile powder that transforms any bake into a chewy, mochi-like treat. Tasting samples will feature mochi cake, mochi puffs, and mochi buns.

A Nod to Fusion Craftsmanship
