Consumer expectations around beverage flavour have Consumer expectations around beverage flavour have moved considerably. Authentic taste and recognisable ingredients are now baseline requirements across most categories and the brands getting it right are the ones whose product developers have the right ingredients to work with. Our HiFruit range supports exactly that. Our latest article covers our range and a closer look at two fruit flavours that have real momentum heading through 2026 which we think are worth considering for your next development brief.

We’ve just returned from Kochi, and it’s changed h We’ve just returned from Kochi, and it’s changed how we think about yuzu. Together with our partners at Tanemura, Brian and Nick spent a few days in Shikoku, the heart of Japan’s yuzu country, going right to the source. We saw peel turned into oil at a specialist extraction facility, met a grower who’s tended his trees for the better part of thirty years (on a converted rice paddy, no less), and visited the cooperative where the fruit is pressed. Tree to juice to oil, in three days. Trips like this matter. Knowing where an ingredient actually comes from - the people, the seasons, the way it’s handled, is what makes us better at helping customers use it well. A few things worth knowing about yuzu: • It lives in the peel. Yuzu is almost never eaten as a fruit; nearly all its character sits in the peel and juice, which is why the oil is treated with such care. • It has an aroma all its own. The peel carries a compound called yuzunone that you won’t really find anywhere else. It’s why a whisper of real yuzu is instantly recognisable, and why a lemon-lime shortcut never quite lands. • Extraction method shapes everything. Steam distillation lifts the bright, sparkling top notes; gentler extraction holds onto the rounder, deeper facets underneath. Same fruit, two quite different stories. That last point is the one we keep coming back to. Getting the right profile against the right product is what makes yuzu sing, whether it’s lifting a sparkling drink or carried through confectionery. Not just “yuzu,” but the right yuzu. If yuzu is part of your current or future work, we’d love to talk it through. #Yuzu #JapaneseCitrus #NaturalIngredients #FoodAndBeverage #FlavourIngredients #Confectionery
National BBQ Week is a useful point to reflect on National BBQ Week is a useful point to reflect on how BBQ flavour is shifting. It’s moving beyond traditional smoke profiles towards more global, layered tastes. Kimchi-inspired profiles are gaining ground, bringing garlicky, fiery notes and a deeper savoury character through fermentation. Heat is also becoming more nuanced. Scotch Bonnet-style profiles offer a peppery, spicy impact with a more distinctive flavour, rather than just intensity. Alongside these savoury and spicy directions, fruit-led BBQ profiles are also becoming more prominent. Our Blood Orange & Plum BBQ Sauce concept combines rich fruity sweetness with bright citrus notes, creating a balanced profile that works well across marinades, dipping sauces and glazed applications.

Fricy is emerging as a notable flavour space for 2 Fricy is emerging as a notable flavour space for 2026, blending fruity profiles with heat to create layered, sense‑driven taste experiences. Rooted in Latin American and Asian cuisines, the trend is gaining momentum as consumers look for bolder, more exploratory flavour combinations. We’re seeing movement beyond classic mango‑and‑Tajin formats into citrus, tropical and stone fruits paired with specific chillies, yuzu kosho and chaat masala. These combinations offer new opportunities for developers looking to balance sweetness, acidity and heat in innovative ways. With an expected lifespan of 3–5 years, Fricy has growing relevance across foodservice, social media and early retail activity, making it one to watch for future flavour development.
