Manufacturer and supplier of natural #flavours and flavour ingredients to the food and beverage industry #naturallyFabulous

Iced chocolate is evolving beyond a simple indulge Iced chocolate is evolving beyond a simple indulgence. 

The category has grown 47% in the US over the last decade, driven by consumers seeking more premium, café-inspired beverage experiences. What makes the trend particularly exciting is the breadth of flavour innovation emerging across the category. Brands are moving beyond traditional chocolate profiles and exploring: 

- Tea-inspired pairings such as matcha, hojicha and Earl Grey

- Citrus combinations featuring mandarin, yuzu and kumquat for a fresh twist on a classic chocolate pairing 

- Spiced profiles using cinnamon, ginger, allspice and clove to bring warmth and complexity 

- Tropical flavours like passion fruit, pineapple, mango and lychee that offer a refreshing, contemporary take 

- Savoury influences from ingredients such as black sesame, tahini and even globally inspired flavours like miso and chipotle 

As consumers continue to look for distinctive, limited-edition and café-quality drinks, iced chocolate is creating new opportunities across retail, foodservice and ready-to-drink beverages. 

At Lionel Hitchen, we help food and beverage manufacturers transform emerging flavour trends into commercially successful concepts. Combining market insight with flavour expertise, we work with customers to develop chocolate beverage experiences that stand out in a competitive market. 

Get in touch to discover how our flavour solutions can support your next beverage innovation.

What an incredible achievement! 🪂 A huge congratu What an incredible achievement! 🪂

A huge congratulations to our CEO Eva and Technical Director Helen, who recently took on a skydive to raise money for @enham.trust – showing real courage while supporting a truly inspiring cause.
 
If you'd like to show your support, you can donate (Link in our bio)
 
For over 100 years, Enham Trust has been empowering disabled people to live with greater independence, providing opportunities, support, and services that help individuals achieve their goals and live life to the fullest. It's a charity that makes a genuine difference to thousands of lives.
 
We're incredibly proud of both of them for stepping out of their comfort zones (quite literally!) to support such an important cause. Their commitment and enthusiasm have been inspiring and we're delighted to have been part of their fundraising journey.
 
Thank you and well done to everyone involved, including the fantastic team at @goskydiveuk and Enham Trust for all the work they do.

Our Principal Flavourist, Leanne, recently spent t Our Principal Flavourist, Leanne, recently spent the final three days of the Flavourist Training Course at the University of Reading, supporting the next generation of flavourists as they developed and presented their own flavour creations. Developed by the British Society of Flavourists and the University of Reading, with support from the International Federation of Essential Oil and Aroma Trades, this unique three-week programme is designed for graduates already working in the flavour and food industries. With places often booked almost a year in advance, it continues to attract aspiring flavourists from around the world. 
 
During the final practical sessions, our Principal Flavourist guided students through flavour creation in the laboratory before joining the judging panel as they presented their finished flavourings. 
 
"It's always rewarding to support the next generation of flavourists and see their creativity develop throughout the course." 
– Leanne, Principal Flavourist 
 
Lionel Hitchen is also proud to contribute some of the flavour ingredients materials used throughout the course, while welcoming students to our Barton Stacey site to explore our spice and essential oil extraction facilities and gain an insight into flavour manufacturing.
