Taste is a very important factor for consumers when they decide to buy bread, patisserie and chocolate. It’s even more important than freshness, which was most important in 2015. This shift in consumer needs was revealed by the latest Taste Tomorrow survey.
The survey also revealed that consumers like both traditional and exotic flavours that contribute to their tasting experience, and that texture has become a key component. Consumers pay as much attention to a special, delicious, appealing texture as to flavour. Different textures are visually interesting as well, and after all, consumers want to be wowed by all their senses. A feast for the eyes, multi-layered textures and flavours are essential to create a sensorial delight.
All these important takeaways from the Taste Tomorrow survey were considered when creating this Strawberry recipe. This indulgent strawberry-like croissant offers a delicious melting feeling, which will both surprise and delight your customers.
