Eurostar Commodities opens School of Pizza in Yorkshire

Eurostar Commodities has opened a brand-new School of Pizza designed to support food businesses looking to enhance their offering.

Located at the supplier’s headquarters in Brighouse, Yorkshire the school is described as a state-of-the-art training, innovation and collaboration space designed exclusively for food professionals. It can also be used as a development kitchen for items other than pizza.

Here, food professionals such as chefs, hospitality teams, and bakers can gain access to the fully equipped environment where they can trial new products, refine recipes, and explore ingredient innovation led by the Eurostar Commodities team.

The new School of Pizza will offer:

• Complimentary product development space for customers
• Hands-on pizza masterclasses led by industry experts
• Training workshops for all experience levels
• Gluten-free pizza and baking sessions
• Flexible event space available for customer use.

Visitors will be able to work with a wide range of premium ingredients, including authentic Italian flours, regenerative British flours and specialist gluten-free baking flours.

“This is a dedicated space for food professionals to experiment, learn and collaborate, whether they are developing a new menu, improving their dough techniques or exploring gluten-free and specialist flour options,” said Eurostar Commodities managing director Jason Bull.

“Our aim is to help customers create exceptional pizza with confidence. The school also operates as a development kitchen for customers wanting to develop new product ranges outside of pizza too and we welcome any food manufacturers to come in and experiment with our technical development team,” he added.

Eurostar Commodities isn’t the only supplier to the baking industry investing in its facilities of late. Clean label ingredients specialist Ulrick + Short, for example, opened its second UK site in West Yorkshire earlier this year while pre-mix supplier Middleton Foods is underway with the £4m expansion of its existing manufacturing facility in the West Midlands.
