SWEET
At Nactarome, we have brought together an incredibly broad, flexible, fully customizable, and synergistic range of taste, texture, and colour solutions for all sweet applications. Whether is a natural sweet enhancer for an indulgent taste experience of a low-sugar cookie, or a clean label colouring solution for your new frosting range, we are the right partner for your product development and customization. Our R&D, Application and Sensory Team work tirelessly every day to successfully deliver on your consumer moments of truth: when they see, smell, and taste your sweet creations.
Our attention to the market and to the evolving consumer preferences has inspired us to eagerly focus on the creation of a comprehensive and authentic range of natural taste, texture, and colouring solutions in line with the growing requests and preferences in the line of naturality, sustainability, fortification, indulgence, and health. To be able to capture and offer the most authentic and vibrant flavours and colours of nature is a path that begins at raw material level, goes through the choice of gentle and sustainable processing technologies, and translates into stable, versatile, and highly performing products, meeting your consumer demands for familiar, recognizable, and cleaner labels.
SWEET BAKERY
Sweet baked products confirm some of the most popular global trends, such as permissible indulgence, with reduced sugar, fat, lactose/dairy options becoming more mainstream. Fresh, handcrafted, and artisanal-positioned cookies and cakes are still consumer favourites, with premiumization driven by inclusions, provenanced ingredients, organic and/or Fairtrade certified ingredients. Seasonality and occasion bakery are key areas in the traditional markets of Italy, France, and the UK, where we have a long-established market presence and a strong familiarity with innovation patterns, consumer preferences and consumption habits.
SWEET DAIRY
Whether it is an indulgent, full-fat custard, or a sugar-free Greek-type yogurt, sweet dairy is one of the most beloved, purchased, and consumed categories. At Nactarome we know that, and we have worked to develop delightful collections of natural, specialty notes, as well as a complete range of taste modulators to act in low-fat, low-sugar, fortified environments, to offer a fully satisfying taste experience.
ICE CREAM
The demand for affordable, convenience indulgence products like ice cream continues to grow, and with our strong heritage in Italy and France we are well-positioned to partner with you to develop your next ice cream launch, particularly in the artisanal arena. Whether you are looking for a fully natural, clean label, or even Fairtrade-certified vanilla, or a vegan-friendly custard, or nut-free nut flavour, we are your partner. We offer authenticity, naturalness and creativity to your development and innovation process, yet are also very aware of claim and labelling requirements and trends.
DAIRY-FREE
The dairy and dairy-free markets are key categories for innovation and diversification, with consumers increasingly asking for products meeting different emotional, functional and experience needs. From lactose-free and plant-based alternatives to richer, indulgent options, from fortified products to boost immunity and gut health to protein-rich snacks, the dairy and dairy-free segment is livelier than ever, and at Nactarome we are fully aware of this. Our Taste, Texture and Colour solutions for the dairy and dairy-free segments include:
Plant-based
A strategic area to meet consumer-driven specific dieting concern and requests, plant-based ice creams span from the creamiest bases to the most refreshing, fruit and vitamin-packed sherbets and ice lollies. Colour is key to fully convey the natural, better-for-you positioning of the category, and this is where our FiorioNat and FiorioClean preservative-free, natural and clean label ranges are your best allies.
Fruit Preps
These natural and healthy products add so much to the consumers’ taste and texture experience. Our FiorioNat and FiorioClean ranges can be amazing allies to deliver the most vibrant, authentic, and brilliant colours of Nature, while offering proven stability to pasteurization, acidity level and storage.
Inclusions & Sauces
At Nactarome we know how crucial it is for inclusions to retain their flavour and colour, and how important it is for taste and colour solutions to perform brilliantly in a high viscous matrix, particularly in the super-premium bakery segment and in premium ice cream. This is why we have developed a specific oil-dispersible colour range for high fat applications: FiorioPlanet.
Chocolate
We can help meet the demand for provenanced, organic, and Fairtrade ingredients, particularly with our Vanilla range, where we boast half a century heritage in vanilla sourcing and extraction, including organic and Fairtrade-sourced. With vanillin particularly subject to market fluctuations, and we have recently developed a one-to-one natural replacer.
CONFECTIONARY
Natural flavours and colours help producers meet the increasing regulatory challenges in sugar confectionary. Our taste modulation solutions, available in liquid and powder forms, improve sweetness perception and deliver the characteristics of different sugars, including palm sugar, brown sugar, sticky sugar, molasses, dark black treacle.
CEREALS & BARS
Cereals – breakfast cereals in particular – have experienced a surge in interest as well over the past few years, creating some exciting opportunities for diversification and new healthy options development, without compromising on taste. Amongst the growing trends, natural is of course key, but also the fortification with healthy ingredients, such as vitamins, minerals, fibres, proteins, and other health- and immunity-promoting substances. Our Taste, Texture and Colour solutions for cereals and bars include:
