Additionally, we assess the performance and intensity of our flavor solutions to deliver precise recommendations tailored to specific applications.

Product offering

We offer a wide selection of bakery flavours. Whether you wish to launch a range of flavoured butter cookies or adjust the flavour profile of your chocolate truffles, our highly skilled flavourists and application specialists can help you create just the right product and flavour for your market.

Chocolate truffles

Chocolate truffles are rich, bite-sized confections made from a smooth mixture of chocolate and cream, often coated in cocoa powder, nuts, or chocolate. They have a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture and can be flavored with various ingredients like liqueurs or spices.

Butter cookies

Butter cookies are rich, crisp cookies made with a simple dough of butter, sugar, and flour. Their tender texture and buttery flavor make them a classic treat, often shaped into rounds or decorative patterns. They are commonly enjoyed plain or with added flavours like vanilla, almond, or chocolate.

Puff pastry

Puff pastry is a light, flaky dough made by layering butter between thin sheets of dough through a process of folding and rolling. When baked, the butter creates steam, causing the dough to puff up and form crisp, delicate layers. Puff pastry is used in both sweet and savory dishes, such as tarts, pies, and turnovers

Sponge cakes

Sponge cakes are light, airy cakes made primarily from flour, sugar, and eggs. Their soft texture comes from whipped eggs that incorporate air into the batter, creating a delicate crumb. Often used as a base for layered cakes, they are versatile and can be flavored or filled with creamy, fruity, and berry-like flavours

Coating

Bakery coating is a specialized layer applied to baked goods to enhance texture, flavour, and appearance. It can provide a glossy finish, add sweetness or even savoury notes

Filling

Bakery fillings are loved for their variety of textures and rich flavor combinations ranging from fresher alternatives like tea or citrus flavours to dark and aromatic flavours like cognac, peanutbutter or jammy flavours.
