Rooted in more than a century of Italian expertise, IRCA Group provides pastry and bakery manufacturers with ingredient systems that combine artisanal quality and industrial performance. From doughs and fillings to glazes and decorations, we enable consistency, scalability and creativity.
Our portfolio covers every stage of production, from fillings to toppings and inclusions, ensuring flawless texture, flavour and structure. We merge craftsmanship and innovation to create indulgent products that respond to evolving trends, from crispy-soft contrasts to healthier indulgence.
With a dedicated Innovation Center, state-of-the-art plants and strong application know-how, IRCA Group delivers tailor-made solutions for the most demanding bakery lines. Our ingredient systems can deliver the perfect balance between indulgence, texture and functionality.
For over fifty years, IRCA Group has led in fat-based and water-based creams.
Thanks to our Creamatrix technology, we create smooth or textured fillings with outstanding stability and clean taste.
From bake-stable to non-bake-stable and ready-to-use versions, our creams ensure rich flavour and reliable performance, also available in vegan and reduced-sugar options.
Our inclusions combine advanced processing and application expertise to deliver crunch, taste and structure. From chocolate and compound inclusions to caramel bits, cereals, clusters and biscuits, each solution enhances the multisensory experience of pastry products and offer flexibility for both indulgent and “better-for-you” product concepts.
Heritage and precision define our nut platform, offering hazelnuts, almonds and premium pistachios from different origins, each with distinctive organoleptic profiles.
Through advanced roasting, calibration and quality control, we guarantee consistent flavour and colour across applications.
Inclusions: fruit solutions that combine traditional Italian candying with our bespoke DualPhase technology. In candied and semi-candied fruit, each product preserves its natural texture and vibrant flavour, even after baking.
Fillings: mild processing technologies ensure bake-stable and non-bake-stable solutions that preserve fruit characteristics, guarantee consistent quality across applications and deliver unmatched taste with a variety of textures and fruit content, also available in low water activity and no added sugar options.
Our decoration range merges artisanal creativity with industrial reliability.
From curls, shavings, and shapes to 2D and 3D designs, we offer chocolate and compound decorations that elevate the look and perception of any pastry creation: consistent, elegant, and efficient to apply.
