Which color do you associate with refreshment the most?☺️   In the world of food and beverages, color plays a powerful role in shaping how we perceive refreshment: Whether it is the crispness of icy blue or the vitality of lime green, each hue tells a story and evokes a feeling. Color is an important sensory element that strongly influences a consumer’s perception of whether a food or drink is refreshing. 🍧🧋   Choosing the right color can elevate your next refreshing innovation!

Ever wondered what it takes to bring fruity yogurts or ice creams to your table?🍨 It all starts with high-quality fruits 🍓 in a farm, which we then refine and turn the gifts that nature provides us into products that fit our customers' needs and consumers adore.

💡 Did you know? The global F&B refreshment market is valued at 65.5 billion Euros.🍋🟩   While refreshment has traditionally been associated with beverages, its relevance in the food sector is equally compelling and increasingly recognized. Today, consumers are seeking refreshing experiences not only in what they drink but also in what they eat, from chilled fruit-based snacks and yogurt to frozen desserts and plant-based innovations. This shift reflects a broader trend where refreshment is no longer confined to hydration but is embraced as a multisensory, emotional, and functional benefit across diverse food categories. Reach out to us to craft your next refreshing innovation that will tantalize your consumers' tastebuds!
