JPL Flavours

There are two types of people in this world: those who champion the buffalo sauce trend and those who will never venture further than a cheeky lemon and herb peri-peri! No matter whether you’re #TeamVindaloo or #TeamKorma, it’s impossible to ignore the growing trend for bold, spicy flavours in the UK. From fiery ginger and smoky paprika to fermented gochujang and habanero pepper, spice is gaining traction in many categories. Ask your Account Manager about our latest ‘Turn Up The Heat’ Collection, featuring a range of gingers, chilli peppers, horseradish and paprika. 🔥🌶️ #NationalChilliDay2025 #FlavourTrends #ProductDevelopment #Spicy #Innovation

Look out for our annual trends – they may be more than meets the eye 👀 #flavourtrends #annualtrends #innovation #trendingflavours

Pandan (also referred to the Vanilla of the East) is a tropical plant native to Southeast Asia where it has been used for cooking for centuries. The plant has long, thin, dark green leaves that are noticeably fragrant, with creamy and sweet notes.🌿 Pandan has a similar taste to vanilla, with notes of coconut and green tea. Floral and nutty undertones create a delicate, balanced flavour profile. We believe that pandan has a lot of potential in the U.K. market as its delicate, grassy taste make it well-suited to sweet, savoury and beverage applications. 🍵 Contact your account manager to find out more about how pandan may be suitable for your application. #onetowatch #flavourtrends #trendingflavours #innovation #pandan

Our Applications Manager David Edwards has been working on so many flavoured collagen samples lately, it looks like the anti-aging benefits are kicking in! The unique taste of certain collagen bases can present a challenge when it comes to adding flavourings. Our layered flavouring systems help mask unwanted off-notes to create consumer friendly products. What’s popular in flavoured collagen? 👉 Citrus & tropical flavours: zesty lemon, pink grapefruit, peach, watermelon and passionfruit bring a refreshing wellness-led taste. 👉 Botanical flavours: matcha, hibiscus or lavender for example follow the perceived health trend. 👉 Dessert-inspired flavours: rich double chocolate, salted caramel and vanilla marshmallow. Social media is buzzing with positive mentions of collagen drinks. Celebrities and influencers endorse various brands, promoting reduced wrinkles, increase moisture retention and firmer skin. Judging by our team’s latest transformation, they might be onto something… #CollagenGlowUp #ForeverYoung #FlavourScientists #CollagenFlavours #FlavourInnovation

Meet Lauren, our latest apprentice who joined the team in September in our Applications Lab. This week is National Apprenticeship Week so we’re taking the opportunity to celebrate the power of hands-on learning in the flavour industry. We know just how valuable that can be. Doing an apprenticeship is a fantastic way to immerse yourself in an industry with real world experience alongside the theory. Learning on the job, working alongside industry experts, and developing commercial awareness. This is exactly why we believe apprenticeships are such a fantastic way to start a career. And we’re not just saying that – our Managing Director, Jake Lavelle, started his own journey as an apprentice, learning the industry from the ground up, which ultimately led to the creation of JPL Flavours! That experience shaped the way we do business today – prioritising creativity, collaboration and transparency. We believe in investing in the next generation of talent, giving that the tools and opportunities to develop and challenge the norm, helping us change the way the flavour industry operates. So thank you Lauren, and all apprentices taking their first steps into exciting careers this year. 👏 #NationalApprenticeshipweek #FutureofFlavour #TeamJPL #FlavourInnovation #NAW2025

Sound familiar? 🤭 The eternal struggle – cost, quality and taste. The battle between commercial and technical lives on! Probably best we don’t bring marketing into this one as well! 👀 #IfYouKnowYouKnow #ProductDevelopment #FoodandBeverage

Our first one to watch flavouring is none other than soursop! JPL’s one to watch series focuses on up-and-coming flavours in the U.K. market that will excite consumers and offer limitless NPD possibilities. Soursops (aka guanabana or graviola) are tropical fruits native to Central/South America and the Caribbean. They are large, spiny tree-growing fruit with a soft, juicy flesh that is used in a wide range of sweet and beverage applications, such as smoothies and refreshing ice creams. 🍦   They have a sweet, creamy tropical taste with notes of ripe strawberries, pineapples and mangoes. Undertones of citrus add a tang, giving the fruit a balanced, full-bodied profile. 🍋 We believe that soursop has a lot of potential for growth in the U.K. market, as its unique flavour makes it well-suited to many different applications such as dietary supplements, bakery, confectionery and beverage. 🍰 Contact your account manager to find out more about tropical flavourings for your application. #onetowatch #flavourtrends #trendingflavours #innovation #soursop

In times of stress or nostalgia, comfort food plays a crucial role in creating a sense of warmth and familiarity. For many in the UK especially, that comfort can be found in biscuits! 🍪 As consumer preferences evolve, brands that innovate with flavour diversity stand out in this competitive market. We specialise in helping food and beverage manufacturers create products that not only pack a punch in terms of taste but also tap into the emotional connection consumers seek in their food choices.🧡 Our biscuit flavourings are suitable for use in cross-category development or enhancing traditional biscuits with rich notes of butter, milk, cream or oats. These flavours not only help to achieve a premium taste but also support more cost-effective recipe development.
