Ice cream and smoothie season is here: time to enjoy some refreshing treats
With the return of warmer weather, consumers are turning to refreshing, fruity and indulgent products. Ice cream, sorbets, smoothies and summer drinks feature prominently in their consumption habits, offering brands numerous opportunities for innovation.
To meet these expectations, taste remains, more than ever, a key differentiating factor.

- Vanilla
These rich and authentic flavour profiles form the basis of many successful creations.

- Mint
- Citrus
- Cucumber
- Iced tea
- Combinations of fruit and aromatic herbs
These notes make it possible to develop products that are both thirst-quenching and modern, perfectly suited to summer expectations.
