Prune and date concentrates: solutions for flavourists

 

For you, flavour creators, finding natural ingredients that bring depth, roundness and a clean label signature is a major challenge. Our prune and date concentrates (up to 70° Brix) are specifically formulated to meet the technical, regulatory and sensory requirements of your sector.

 

Why choose our concentrates?

 

Prune concentrate: Ideal for its brown and fruity notes, with a slight acidity. It is perfect for stabilising flavours, adding moisture and enriching the texture of your creations.

Date concentrate: A source of natural sweetness with notes of caramel and honey. It perfectly structures flavours and serves as a clean label sweetener.
