Chocolate at a glance
Ever wondered how your favorite chocolate bar gets its zing? Imagine chocolate as a smooth canvas, ready for a dash of creativity. Flavouring chocolate is like playing the role of a culinary Picasso, where a sprinkle of sea salt or a splash of bourbon can transform a humble cocoa bean into a masterpiece. Whether you’re a fan of fiery chili-infused dark chocolate or a sucker for lavender-kissed white chocolate, the world of chocolate flavouring is an adventurous romp through a taste bud wonderland.
Working with flavours in chocolate products involves several key steps to ensure that the desired flavours are effectively infused and balanced with the inherent taste of the chocolate. On top of the existing chocolate base depending on quality and type e.g. dark, milk, or white chocolate flavourings can be added. Typical flavourings can include natural extracts such as vanilla or mint, essential oils like orange, and lavender, spices e.g. cinnamon, chili, liqueur flavourings, and more. We work with a wide range of chocolate applications. Whether it’s a chocolate dragee, a chocolate bar, a truffle, a ganache, or a velvet ripple sauce used in an Ice Cream product – whatever type of product you can think of we can create.
