APPLICATIONS MADE BETTER
Your Sweet Spot
We’re in the business of crafting Made Better™ food experiences that hit the sweet (or savory) spot of what today’s eaters and drinkers actually want. Whether it’s discovering the next flavor obsession, nailing your current product’s vibe, or launching something so good it leaves your competition scrambling, we’ve got you covered. Clean label, bold, subtle, weird? No sweat. Whatever you’re cooking up, we’re here to help make it happen.
From conventional to certified organic, botanical extracts, and everything in between—we’ve got your back.
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE
From manufacturing to regulation to claims –– and every decision in between –– commercializing beverage formulas demands expertise that can ensure consistency and success at scale. We’ll help you navigate design and development right the first time. Whatever it is–– TTB flavors in water-soluble, clear, colorless, or near-colorless formats for Spirits, Cocktail Mixers, Wine, Beer, Cider, Hard Seltzers, and Ready-to-Drink Beverages, we’ve got your foundation and future covered.
NON-ALC BEVERAGE
Functional, carbonated, or still. Familiar or novel in flavor. We offer the technical expertise, ingredients, and insights to make your next beverage project a success. Whether that means fermented and functional or fruity and fun, reducing sugar or revving it up with superfoods, we have your beverage needs covered. Bring us your next beverage design challenge and we’ll solve it together!
CONFECTIONS
Confectionary foods are seeing unprecedented innovation in flavor and format. Evolving from familiar sweet treats to highly craveable vegan, plant-based, and even keto-friendly healthy indulgences. Regardless of your target, end-use, or wild vision, we’ll help you design and develop confections that keep consumers coming back for more. Be it a timeless sweet vanilla, dark chocolate, or citrus flavor to today’s novel superfruits, florals, and spices –– we have a sweet solution to your confectionary challenge.
ALTERNATIVE PROTEINS
Increasingly mindful consumers continue to push for healthier choices, a more sustainable planet, and improved animal welfare. Developing winning alt-proteins to meet this rising trend demands nuanced flavor profiles, taste modulation, and innovation. Let our deep experience in alternative protein development and proven formulation toolkits help you design ahead-of-trend products that satisfy the craving for conscious eating.
SAVORY
Ethnic and cross-cultural flavors are maintaining their hold on menus everywhere. No matter if you’re seeking authenticity or blending flavors for a fresh take – our savory arsenal has everything you need for your next high-crave seasoning, sauce, marinade, and meaty or plant-based protein products. Masterfully combining low, middle, and top notes, we’ll help you develop savory products that are a high note in your portfolio.
NUTRITION
Consumer interest in precision or personalized nutrition continues to rise. Designing functional foods, beverages, and supplements tailored to dietary preferences while delivering on taste is the future of consumer wellness.
