Christmas at H Reynaud & Fils: the must-have flavors of the festive season

Gingerbread Flavor: the signature of Christmas

As Christmas approaches, the same wish is shared everywhere: to rediscover warm, generous, instantly recognizable aromas—the kind that turn a simple recipe into a true festive creation. At H Reynaud & Fils, we offer a selection of ready-to-use flavors designed to add, in a single step, either an indulgent or a gourmet signature to your preparations.

A warm aroma, an immediate result. In a soft cake, a silky cream, a ganache, an ice cream, or a drink, one touch is enough to boost intensity and set the mood. You’ll find the comforting pairing of honey and spices, the enveloping softness of cinnamon, the distinctive character of gingerbread, as well as more modern, feel-good notes such as Cinnamon Roll, hot chocolate, or holiday chocolates. And for the most refined creations, the celebration continues with premium flavors like champagne, truffle, and foie gras.

This palette was designed to spark ideas and create pairings without adding complexity to your processes. Mandarin brings a zesty freshness that lifts desserts and pairs perfectly with chocolate. Fig, rounder and more velvety, evokes year-end celebrations and works just as well in sweet recipes as in savory combinations. Champagne lends an elegant, festive touch, while truffle and foie gras open the door to a gourmet register—ideal for bites, sauces, fillings, or high-value appetizer creations.

In terms of applications, the possibilities are wide: cakes, biscuits, brioches, creams, ice creams, entremets, as well as hot beverages (hot chocolate, lattes, spiced drinks) and even savory uses to surprise. One flavor, a thousand recipe ideas. Perfect for pastry… unexpected in savory.

With H Reynaud & Fils, give your creations the taste of the festive season: expressive, consistent seasonal flavors for immediate indulgence and a signature that’s recognizable from the very first note.
