Natural products that perform
We take a look at the 5 things that make our natural extracts stand out.
1. Many of our raw materials are sourced close to where they are processed
We take pride in our mutually beneficially supplier relationships, having worked with many of our partners for decades. This approach has brought us closer to the raw material than ever before, giving us a unique perspective on how to produce a world class natural extract. This strategic network of partnerships has been developed with distance to our facility in North America in mind, meaning that some raw materials (like our Cucumber extract) are still growing in the field 48 hours before they are processed by our team, ensuring maximum freshness.
2. We can ripen our raw materials once they arrive at our Lakeland facility
Having built up years and years of experience and knowledge of our raw materials, we understand how to ensure they are at their absolute best before we take them through our manufacturing process. We know that the ripeness of a fruit or vegetable can have a huge impact on its flavour profile, so work with our suppliers, and customers to ensure we are getting the balance just right, every time.
3. Our manufacturing process maximises optimum flavour entrapment
By distilling our fruits, vegetables, Health & Wellness products, and teas at low temperatures over short periods, we capture the very best authentic taste and aroma profiles, producing an end solution that is hugely evocative of its raw material. Our processing techniques also allow us to support our customers closely when it comes to particular claims, including varietal or provenance claims.
4. They are highly effective at low dosages due to their intense concentration
Our natural extracts are known for their authenticity, and their consistent knock-out impact. They are ideal for use in clear beverages, particularly those that demand a clean label. Customers the world over enjoy their flexibility as they are often used as the differentiating top note in a range of alcoholic drinks, juices, colas, smoothies, and flavoured waters.
5. They tick all the boxes across the world's biggest consumer trends
The extent to which a product impacts one's health and wellbeing continues to be a driving influence for multi-generational consumers. Naturalness is proving to be an essential product feature with at least four key demographics, as many continue to move towards naturally derived food and beverage ingredients. Our extracts are 100% natural, effectively meeting this consumer need, while also delivering on all-important taste.
