By working with us, you benefit from our expertise and fresh thinking. Make the most of our unique ingredients portfolio and discover new ways to create appealing products. Bakery boosters or chocolate confectionery ingredients, toppings for desserts or aromatic spice blends for ready meals—the choice is yours.
Develop plant-based alternatives
Develop new plant-based recipes such as cashew cheese and nut-based chocolate drinks. Compete in the vegan and vegetarian sector, and tempt consumers who have switched to plant-based foods.
Deliver on wellness and nutrition needs
Engage the wellness market and nutrition-conscious consumer. Harness the health benefits of dairy ingredients, spices and nuts to create tasty, nutritious products that consumers love.
Go natural and clean label
Celebrate naturalness and move away from ultra-processed ingredients. Create clean-label recipes with fewer, simpler ingredients. Source organic and GMO-free ingredients with no artificial flavours or preservatives.
Global commitment to innovate, ideate and co-create
Discover traceable, nutritious & delicious category formulations
It’s easy to make something taste amazing. It’s much harder to fill it with nutritional benefits too. And what about making sure it’s ethically sourced and right for the planet?
With a common thread through consumption and category trends, our ingredients enable a myriad of opportunities to create naturally good food & beverage products for your consumers. Our fresh ideas fit well with applications for bakery, beverages, confectionery, desserts - just to name a few attractive consumption categories. Also, offering many opportunities for those plant-based options that have become so popular.
Bakery
Your next cookie filling, cake topping, pie crust, biscuit crumb or bread mix starts with our playground of ingredients. Let’s get busy combining tastes, textures and colors that not only delight consumers, but also the people and planet around them. Give sweet treats a natural twist by combining our cocoa powder and nut pastes to create indulgent center-filled cookies with a premium texture.
Beverages
From cold brewed spiced coffee to golden milk made with dairy powder or nuts to suit modern consumer preferences. Even the most basic ingredient can make a real difference. With us, you can customize and co-create from plant to palate to find taste, texture and nutritional profiles that make your hot, cold, or plant-based beverages unique.
Chocolate & Confectionery
The world loves cocoa, in chocolate, confectionery, ice cream, bars and desserts. The need to make these better for our bodies and planet has never been greater. We’re bringing lots of fresh thinking to the table – like reducing sugar and sodium in recipes with clever cocoa creations and vegan, organic and traceable solutions. How about creating delicious vegan ‘milk’ chocolate bars with our gluten-free and grain-free cashew flour?
Dairy & Desserts
Emerging flavor trends in milks, yogurts and ice-creams are a real opportunity to create healthy, tasty, formulations that consumers can indulge in. Why not try new twists on familiar pairings, such as chocolate doughnut and coffee flavored ice cream? In cocoa alone, our R&D specialists can help tackle challenges in both dairy and plant-based desserts: from a unique methodology to pair cocoa powders with pea, nut, or oat bases to address taste, to reducing bitterness of FMP formats with our Fresco Cacao.
Savory & Culinary
It’s great when you can respond to trends. It’s even better when you spark them yourself. Together, we can create sauces, nut-based cheeses, and spice blends that fulfil existing desires or even feed new ones. How about putting a new spin on traditional dishes with trend-led ingredients like our choco mole sauce inspired by the Oaxaca region of Mexico? Using authentic spices and premium cocoa, this sauce is rich in antioxidants with a deep color and enticing aroma that will delight the senses.
Snacking
Join our search for the next trail mix, cereal, or snack bar hit. Together, we can find new ingredient combinations that fulfil consumer desire for taste, texture, nutrition, and traceability. One idea? Take consumers on a journey through the world’s most vibrant cuisines with seasoned nut recipes drawing on our Blends of the Americas spice range, including Blanched Almonds with Spicy Citrus Coast and Candied Cashews with Warm Sedona Sunset.
