Creating authentic, delicious consumer products

Introducing Culinary Notes, our new reaction flavour technology

Consumers crave the authentic, delicious taste experiences of home-cooked meals and original recipes. And they expect the same experiences with everyday products.

Givaudan can help bridge the gap with Culinary Notes, our ground-breaking reaction flavour technology.

Authentic food experiences stimulate all the senses. Imagine the rich, buttery aromas that fill the air when braised chicken emerges from the oven, tender and succulent with a hint of onion and garlic in every bite. The gentle bubbling of homemade beef stew, simmering on the stovetop all day until the mouth-watering spices are perfectly blended. The vibrant hues, and unique, unforgettable tastes of street food across the world.  

Consumers crave the authentic, delicious taste experiences of home cooked meals and original recipes.

Givaudan can help bridge the gap between homemade or original cuisine and everyday consumer products with Culinary Notes, our ground-breaking new and sustainable reaction flavour technology. We’ve developed this patent-pending technology based on ten years of research and development, several decades of reaction flavours heritage, and more than 250 years of flavour science.

Unique taste experiences, simply and efficiently

Some cooking techniques are difficult or even impossible to apply in commercial processes, and we can recreate them. Our reaction flavours deliver the same experience you enjoy when using various cooking techniques, and the chemical reactions that occur during the cooking process – such as frying, grilling or roasting – help release unique flavours and aromas. 

The result: the same delicious taste signatures as authentic home cooked meals or original innovations, simply and efficiently. So you save time – while creating the unique taste signatures that your products deserve.
