Create your aromatic signature for your sweets
The sugar candy sector is changing, in order to make room for a growing duality between “intense pleasure and indulgence” and “transparent, reassuring naturalness”.
Indulgence remains a major promise. Chocolate-coated marshmallows, melting caramel with Guérande salt, candies that tickle our taste buds… An explosion of tastes and sensations is at the heart of consumers’ expectations.
Those who are nostalgic of yesteryear’s candy will still find treats to indulge on, however ingredients and additives have evolved to be more natural and sustainable.
Industrials players are therefore creating new recipes and rethinking the selection of their raw materials (plant-based, coloring foodstuffs, organic origin…) to meet a growing consumer’s demand for transparency and naturalness.
There is also a growing offer of sugar-free and low-sugar alternatives.
More than warm notes, fruity notes (with strawberry at the top) are the ones leading the way to a reassuring repositioning actions.
