Caravan introduces tortilla base for extended shelf life

Caravan Ingredients has developed a new base for soft white tortillas with a long shelf life, the company has said.

According to NPD’s National Eating Trends data, more than one in five Americans (22%) eat tortillas or pitas at least once in an average two-week period.

Caravan’s new Southern Tortilla base is a highly concentrated base intended to produce very white, soft, pliable tortillas with extended shelf life.

Southern Tortilla is available in pre-scaled batch packs to save time and avoid scaling errors. Finished products are flexible and have very high opacity, the company said.
