The Delectable Harmony of Bakery Trends
When it comes to baked goods, consumers are looking for traditional and authentic treats as well as modern twists on classics and new exciting flavour combinations. Taste and enjoyment are the most important drivers; health, nutrition, and sustainability are too increasingly relevant.
Health-Conscious Choices
Modern consumers are increasingly aware of nutrition’s role in health. They look for healthier alternatives, especially products traditionally high in sugar, salt, and fat. Achieving desired flavours and a familiar rich texture requires a complex approach. Certain flavours stimulate taste receptors and enhance our perception of sweetness without adding extra calories. Other ingredients can provide creaminess, mask off-taste and balance the final product. Therefore, we provide complete flavour solutions for healthier bakery products.
Innovative Flavors and Pairings:
Bakeries are experimenting with unique and unexpected flavor combinations, such as herbs, spices, and unconventional pairings like floral and herbal infusions. This trend reflects a desire for adventurous and novel taste experiences.
Global Flavors:
Inspired by the global culinary landscape, bakeries incorporate international flavors and techniques into their offerings. This includes ingredients and flavors from various cultures, providing a diverse range of options for consumers.
Plant-Based and Vegan Offerings:
The demand for plant-based and vegan products has extended to the bakery sector. Bakeries are incorporating ingredients like plant-based butter, non-dairy milk alternatives, and egg substitutes to cater to the growing vegan consumer base.
Sustainability and Locally Sourced Ingredients:
Bakeries are increasingly focusing on sustainability, using locally sourced and organic ingredients. This trend aligns with consumer preferences for environmentally friendly and ethically produced baked goods.
We have our bakery in our headquarters in Brøndby where we test our flavours in specific bakery applications.

Additionally, we test our flavour solutions to provide accurate recommendations for intensity and performance in different applications.
