There are many people who anxiously await the onset of pumpkin flavored everything as soon as the calendar strikes September. Pumpkin spiced lattes, pumpkin bread, pumpkin ale, pumpkin pie, and even pumpkin flavored ice cream. The word pumpkin is synonymous with the word autumn, but the challenge is to make your pumpkin flavored product stand out.
The secret to making your pumpkin foods and beverages a fall staple is the application of flavor to compliment the already versatile flavor and notes of pumpkin. By adding more traditional flavors such as cinnamon and nutmeg to your coffee creamer to compliment the pumpkin and coffee undertones or adding more daring flavor additions like butterscotch and rum to your frozen dairy treat, your products will stand out from the rest. The key to keeping your pumpkin product on the minds of consumers is adding depth and variety to your products.
Balancing your pumpkin flavors and secondary flavors is a key part of making a flavor sensation which we can work with you to get it right.
