Trendspotters from the 2015 Summer Fancy Food Show
identified popular flavor profiles that just might tantalize your taste buds and
inspire ideas for your own new product development.
Flower Power
Floral notes such as rose, lavender and hibiscus made a memorable
appearance in products such as Belvoir
Fruit Farms Elderflower & Rose Lemonade, Masala Pop Saffron Rose Popcorn,
Rogue Creamery La-Di-Da Lavender Cheese and Vosges Haut-Chocolat Blood Orange
Hibiscus Caramel Marshmallows.
 |
| Vosges Haut-Chocolat covers marshmallows in burnt sugar caramel with blood oranges and hibiscus flavors, chocolate and tops it with black salt. |
Cocktail Culture
Spirits, wine, and beer inspire flavors and ingredient
pairings like Bissell Maple
Farm's Pappy & Company Bourbon Barrel-Aged Syrup, Brooklyn Brine Co.
Hop-Pickles, Colonel Pabst All Malt Amber-Lager Worcestershire Sauce and L.A. Creamery The Manhattan.
 |
L.A. Creamery’s The Manhattan
takes its cues from the classic cocktail with Rittenhouse Rye, brown butter toffee and bing cherries.
|
Go Ginger
An honorable mention, so to
speak, goes to ginger as another hot flavor trend (pun intended) for 2015.
 |
| Try the classic pairing of crystallized ginger dipped in dark chocolate or more adventurous pairings incorporated in DivineChocolate’s Lemon Infused Ginger Turtles (top) or Coconut Ginger Popcorn Truffles from YoderPopcorn Click here to view the recipe from Yoder Popcorn. |
