CONFECTIONARY FLAVOURS
We offer fun and vibrant flavours for indulgent tasting experiences.
Despite growing focus on health, consumers are not neglecting their sweet tooth. Sweet treats are more to us than empty calories; they are about special occasions, celebrations and sharing, taking a break with a piece of chocolate or watching a movie with your favourite wine gums. Consumers expect an experience from confectionary products, for example a mix of different textures and fun twists. Flavours for children lean towards playfulness, for example cotton candy, popcorn and marshmallow flavours. Adults are more interested in adventurous, unusual and exotic flavours from different cultures and continents e.g., lemongrass, white tea, rose, hibiscus and camu camu.
We have extensive expertise with confectionary applications like:
- Hard-boiled candy
- Liquorice
- Wine gums
- Chocolate
- Foam
- Fillings
- Chewy candy

Our premium range of flavours offers authentic, satisfying and memorable experiences. We also have an incredibly broad range of fruity flavours adjusted to match taste preferences of Nordic consumers. For example:
- Caramel
- Strawberry
- Raspberry
- Orange
- Lemon
- Tutti-frutti
- Banana
- Pear
- Liquorice
All confectionary flavours are tested for heat, freeze and thaw stability as well as fat and water solubility. We develop solutions for organic (95/5) suitable, halal, kosher and vegan products and provide all-in-one solution. We also provide accurate recommendations for intensity and performance in different applications to facilitate faster and smoother product development for our customers.
Sugar reduction is a mainstream trend that influences all product categories. Not only do consumer have increasingly negative perception of sugary products, but many countries also continue to implement sugar taxes and stricter requirements for labelling of sweet products. Therefore, confectionary products must balance between nutritional concerns and flavour. Regardless of health value, if a product performs poorly on flavour, consumers won’t buy it again.
We continuously work on exciting new flavours for chocolate and sugary products. We develop unique flavour combinations for summer and Christmas editions as well as other interesting occasions, like Valentines Day. One of our key competencies is creating flavour matches and customized flavours for confectionery. It’s a vibrant and ever-evolving category where consumers crave creative and surprising products. We keep up to date with flavour trends and continuously work on new fruit flavours, magical fantasy flavours and sophisticated flavours for adult segments. We offer a multitude of flavours within a given fruit, for example we have over fifty different expressions of strawberry. Unique flavours combined with application expertise means we can create amazing flavours that match our customers’ vision.
