Our expertise in flavoring solutions
Our flavorings provide an infinity of tastes... and meet a multitude of challenges.
At Metarom, we are passionate about creating food flavorings and natural extracts, mainly sweet, for food and beverages for human consumption. We dedicate ourselves to supporting food manufacturers at every stage of their processes of creation and industrialization.
Flavoring solutions
Based in France, we have been a supplier of flavoring solutions for the food industry since 1953, and we offer you a wide range of tried-and-tested, tailor-made products designed to enhance and give your products their signature.
By constantly analyzing and anticipating consumer trends, our flavorings and natural flavors provide the gourmet, signature and natural palettes that align with the history and authenticity of your finished products.
You know your market, your products and your consumers; we bring our expertise to the table. As flavoring specialists, our job is to support your company throughout the entire value creation chain: educational sessions on regulatory issues, sharing market intelligence and consumer insights, generating flavor maps of market products, creating wheels of descriptors to develop a common language… all these tools are at your disposal for a rich and lasting flavor collaboration and relationship.
Let's speak the same language
Our flavor wheels
Because a strawberry can be cooked, fruity, creamy, floral and much more, we have developed a tool that captures the main profiles of the strawberry.
The flavor wheel is an educational tool that makes our customers aware of the main profiles of a flavor note, enabling them to orient their choice towards a particular profile. This tool was developed to better define our customers’ needs and adopt a common language in order to respond precisely to their requests.
Our offer
Our library of flavors and extracts includes all the flavors you need to offer your customers unique moments. And if the notes offered in our ranges don’t suit your taste buds, our flavorists will design a tailor-made flavor to enhance your products.

Extracts
Metarom has been perfecting its expertise in extraction for 70 years, with the aim of bringing authenticity to your products through plant extracts.
Extracts are relevant for giving a product a positive image, as the consumer equates these with naturalness and authenticity. The use of extracts enables you to:
- Obtain a unique organoleptic signature (directly linked to the varietal quality and the production process)
- Contribute beneficial properties, since certain plant extracts contain compounds beneficial to health, such as polyphenols
- Include the words “extracted from” on the packaging of your products
They can be organic, if the raw materials and solvents used to manufacture them are organic. However, if this is not the case, they are bio-compatible.
Our vanilla supply chain
Metarom works with major partners who supply it with vanilla beans.
These partners are members of the Sustainable Vanilla Initiative (SVI). SVI is the umbrella organization for the main players in Madagascar’s vanilla industry, whose mission is to ensure the traceability of vanilla flows, compliance with quality standards, and the industry’s human, social and economic sustainability.
Thanks to these partnerships, Metarom is able to guarantee the positive and responsible impact of all its purchases from the Madagascan vanilla industry:
- 100% bourbon quality from Madagascar to guarantee the flavor profile and long-term relationships with its local partners
- Double analysis carried out internally at the R&D laboratory and externally by an independent sworn laboratory (COFRAC certification)
- Additional control procedures put in place within the framework of Food Fraud for this type of sensitive material.
Our Market Newsletters
Metarom has been sharing resources linked to trends in the various sweet food markets since the beginning of 2021.
We are currently analyzing 7 sectors: cereal products (cookies + yellow dough), ice cream, dairy products and plant-based desserts, non-alcoholic soft drinks, beer and spirits.
Marketing teams are analysing the trends in these markets, changes in flavor notes, regulatory updates, etc. Translated into English and German, our Lettres Marchés – or “Market Newsletters” – is a library of important resources of information for food manufacturers.
