If you’re on the hunt for an ethanol supplier for work in food development, you might just be dreaming up the next big food flavour trend with our help. However, you might have a little work to do in delivering food concepts which are on-trend at the moment, in which case, have you checked out this article from The Caterer, all about the chocolate and patisserie trends which are on the lips of all the industry insiders?

British classics

When it comes to desserts, British really is best. Not only does this mean sourcing and using best of British ingredients to drive home the ‘shop local’ message, but also in classic styles to present in a new way. The Great British Bake Off consistently drives trends in pastry and cakes, and its fondness for a British classic can’t be underestimated.

Novel ideas

Looking for a novel way to insert flavour? Why not look outside the obvious choice and try to add flavour elsewhere in your development. Industry experts say that flavoured pastry is looking to be a big trend moving forward. New and exciting flavours to try include the recently discovered ruby chocolate, which has both a bitter and sweet taste, or the sweet, green lemon called calamansi, which makes a perfect pair for dark chocolate.

Free-from factor

Ensuring everyone can have a great experience with dessert is key – whether they be vegetarian vegan or gluten-free – as appetite for alternative diets continues to grow in the UK.
