IRCA Group brings innovation, indulgence and reliability to ice cream and frozen desserts. From coatings and variegates to creams, inclusions and decorations, we deliver ingredient systems designed for consistent performance and sensory pleasure across industrial ice cream and dairy production.
Our expertise covers every stage of ice cream formulation, from swirl to coating, and inclusions specifically formulated for low temperatures, creating complete multisensory experiences.
Through the Innovation Center and Application teams, we combine creativity, advanced processing and scientific precision to achieve optimal texture, flavour and stability under extreme conditions.
Each ingredient platform is designed to simplify complex production needs, supporting creativity and reliability at scale. Whether developing indulgent or “better-for-you” concepts, IRCA Group helps brands turn frozen innovation into market-ready success.
Our chocolate and compound coatings balance indulgence and functionality.
From pure chocolate to CBE and CNO-based compounds, each recipe ensures controlled crystallization, easy handling and stable shine.
Ideal for enrobing, dipping and moulding, these coatings deliver a clean flavour and consistent results across production lines.
Our nut expertise is built on deep knowledge of raw materials and advanced processing for stable flavour and texture in frozen applications.
For pistachio, we carefully manage cultivation or selection, roasting and grinding to preserve its natural colour and aromatic intensity. For hazelnut, our in-house roasting ensures a rich, balanced taste and consistent performance.
Naturally rich in nutrients, our nuts are better-for-you ingredients that combine indulgence with authenticity.
Our inclusions combine chocolate expertise and advanced processing for long-lasting taste and texture.
From chocolate drops and beads to caramel bits, cereals and clusters, every product ensures crunch, moisture control and reliable performance.
Our fruit preparations and variegates deliver authentic taste, colour and texture, maintaining stability in frozen environments.
From smooth purees to fruit-based inclusions, each solution enhances freshness and sensory impact across ice cream and dairy applications. From candied and semi-candied fruit to fruit-based fillings and clean-label purees, every product is customizable for performance and sensory experience.
Through the creativity of Dobla, we offer a wide range of chocolate and compound decorations designed for cold applications.
From curls, shavings and flakes to customized 3D shapes, each decoration brings craftsmanship, precision and visual differentiation, ensuring artisanal elegance at industrial scale.
Extraordinary creaminess and olfactory persistence define this platform, developed for specific applications to guarantee the best performance. Produced in our plants in Gallarate, Anneyron and Hochheim , our creams and sauces combine reliability, flexibility and continuous innovation.
With full control over key raw materials such as hazelnut and pistachio, and single-origin fat management, we ensure stability, consistency and excellence across every formulation. Our offering is constantly evolving, with customized solutions for any production need.
Developed through IRCA Creamatrix technology, a fat-based matrix that delivers distinctive sensory experiences and mouthfeel, our creams provide two complementary systems:
Our water-based sauces are produced with automated CIP (Clean-In-Place) and sterilization for maximum safety.
Low-shear mixing preserves texture, vacuum cooling ensures density and stability, while tailored viscosity delivers optimal flow in core, swirl and double-dipping applications.
IRCA's Twin-layered system enables precise and high-quality results for double-dip creations.
A functional sauce designed to be whipped during processing, delivering a wide range of textures from stretchy and chewy to soft and mousse-like.
Formulations can be developed with natural ingredients such as egg white to provide whipping properties, or vegetable proteins for alternative concepts.
Whether you’re developing a new product, scaling production, or looking for tailored ingredient innovation, our team is ready to collaborate.
