Juicy, sweet and a fragrant aroma – what an incredible velvety fruit that is! Join us on an extraordinary journey as we delve into the enchanting taste profile of peach.
Let the essence of peach captivate your senses, and together, let`s make 2024 a year to savour!

Nature`s perfect harmony

Known for its succulent flesh and fragrant aroma, the taste profile of a ripe peach is a delicate balance between sweetness and a slight tanginess. The flavour is reminiscent of a sun-kissed orchard, making it a perfect candidate for beverages and food.

A symbol of sweetness & harmony

White peach and yellow peach

As we dive deeper into the world of peach we’d like to highlight two of the most popular varieties: White and yellow peach. Even though they belong to the same fruit family their flavour characteristics show some striking differences.

While the yellow peach is strongly lactonic, fruity and may also have woody flavour notes (attribute peach pit) the white peach fruit stands out with more sulphuric and peely notes, is juicier and sweeter than the yellow fruit. Both show little floral attributes.

Flavour Profile Comparison: White & Yellow Peach

As we dedicate 2024 to the flavour of peach, we invite you to explore our broad flavour portfolio of peach, ranging from the taste of the natural fruit to exceptional and more sophisticated flavours such as peach blossom (a fruity aroma topped with floral notes), which adds a special character to formulations such as ice tea or energy drinks.

Look forward to nectarine (pulpy) or the flavour of the popular ice cream cup “Peach Melba” (sweet, lactonic, slightly sour) and – of course yellow and white peach flavours.
